At Little Pioneers Rose Hill they love to get parents involved and so they arrange special days throughout the year just for parents and families. Like an Easter egg hunt, Sports day, Gardening Day and Grandparents' Tea.

They have an app, ParentZone, which keeps mums and dads informed about life at nursery with photos from their day, assessments, meals eaten and even toilet training progress. They are big om safety which is why ALL their staff are paediatric first aid trained,

They are silver eco schools accredited, a programme that sees children lead the way in making little changes that deliver big environmental differences. They are big on happy children and they have areas for growing food (and eating it), regular visits to local care homes and take care of each other and the world.

They have 5 Little Pioneers who help share their core values with children such as encouraging them to be independent and taking care of the world.

Little Pioneers Rose Hill Nursery makes the most of a versatile four-playroom interior in order to see early years education thrive. There is a large, secure outdoor garden with a separate section for babies, including a large sandpit and a covered soft area. Children are also able to enjoy facilities including an allotment area where they learn how to take care of plants; fruit, vegetables and flowers and enjoy watching them grow.

The staff including the manager have been outstanding especially with understanding my son's health problems. My son enjoys it and always look forward to going to nursery. He always has a smile on his face and continues to learn so many different things which are a significant part of his life. Would
definitely recommend this nursery to anyone as they are not only hardworking but jovial fun friendly and affable.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been using this Nursery for 6 years now and come September I will have to very sadly say goodbye (or have another baby) as my youngest will be starting school. During the six years of my children attending this nursery, I have never experienced anything other than pure happiness and contentment.
The staff are more than amazing and I feel 110% comfortable leaving my children in their capability.
Thank you all at the Rosehill Co-op nursery.

The whole team always gives their best to provide a safe, warm and exciting environment for the children to play and explore. Our child (14 months) loves going to this nursery and obviously feels safe and sound there. We are happy that our child is in such a warm and friendly place while we are at work
and we would recommend this nursery without concerns.

Superb, friendly staff who are caring and compassionate towards the children they care for.
My child is very happy at this nursery and enjoys the variety of activities open to him.
The food that is available to my son is excellent and varied; I always know he is offered a full range of food which
is carefully nutritionally balanced.

Review from Severine G (Mother of Child) published on 6 October 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A wonderful nursery where not just my daughter's key worker but other staff in her room know her very well. They have not only tended to her individual likes and needs but also helped her develop at her pace in all areas. Since going to nursery, she has become so much more interested and confident in
mobilising independently, feeding herself, interacting with babies, toddlers and adults alike, babbling with different sounds and joining in all the fun and play. It has really drawn her out of her shell and she has really blossomed as a little person in her own right.


The staff there are all very encouraging and know how to draw out and develop new skills and learning as they come and feedback to us so we can continue this at home. Our daughter really enjoys it there and is always happy and smiling when she sees the staff as I drop her off in the mornings.

Staff are very dedicated and extremely friendly. Playing plays an important role in their learning activities and staff follow the interests of the children to help develop themselves. As such my boy learned the alphabet and started writing at 3 years of age.
Staff listen to your requests and help
you wherever possible.

Our boys have been attending nursery since they were one and it is their home away from home. We have all thrived under the love and support provided by the Rose Hill team. If you are reading this then just come and visit yourself. You will know.

I found the nursery very charming, it's clean and organised and play areas very well presented. I especially liked the large garden and different things to do, the staff are all helpful, friendly, accommodating and I also find communication and being kept informed to be very efficient :)

Lovely, caring nursery where daughter is very well looked after and care is very personalised. Real family feeling and lovely space with enclosed garden area and lots of room for children to play. Great food and a great cook! My daughter has been in full time care since age 10 months and is really
thriving.

We've had nothing but good experiences from Rose Hill. I have twins who go three days a week and the levels of care are great. The staff are friendly and conscientious. My children love going there. I wouldn't have any hesitation in recommending it.

The Co-op nursery at Rose Hill has been great for my daughter. Caring, supportive (of me and her!) and able to guide us through and reassure during a turbulent few months of her getting used to being separated from me. I couldn't have asked for a better team nor better resources - the garden and the
catering are both particularly appreciated by my daughter. After 2+ years at Rose Hill my daughter is now a considerably more confident little girl with friends she looks forward to seeing each day and a range of skills that will serve her well for primary school!

Really excellent nursery with great staff. My daughter is 11 months old and loves going to nursery. The programme there is really great, with clear and achievable development goals. The communication with parents is very thorough and useful and the food selection and quality is brilliant.

My 9 month old daughter has been attending the nursery since November and she loves it there. Her carers are amazing with her. She seem to eat quiet well there and as the cots are away from the other children she seem to sleep well too.
They are happy to do as you ask as regards food etc.
I am very
happy with her care.

I have 3 children in different rooms at the nursery. They always look forward to nursery days & excitedly chat away about what they've been up to afterwards.
I have nothing but praise for the staff. They are enthusiastic, hard working & have a great rapport with the children.

My partner and I are very happy with the care and kindness shown at this nursery. Both our children have attended and been looked after well, fed well, and cuddled well too. We've also been very happy with the preparation for entering school, by doing some basic number and letter work while still keeping
it fun. As a result our eldest entered school in September with no difficulties in making the transition. She already had quite a bit of basic knowledge already under her belt to make the change to school easy and painless.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Very good nursery. At a time of need, they were there for us, very understanding, and highly competent. Certainly, we got very lucky to secure an excellent key person for our son, but all the rest of the staff has left a very good impression as well. They surely give children time and space to grow
and develop, and help them on the way instead of forcing them into expectations they cannot fulfill yet. Our son has been there for a year now, from 3 to 4 years of age, and I can highly recommend the nursery and the preschool room. The whole nursery concept seems to be well thought through, with good management and good routines in place. Also certainly a good place concerning diversity and equality. Thumbs up!

Excellent nursery that has a very warm and friendly atmosphere and a real interest in the children, noticing their development and always conscious of any issues. The staff are kind, friendly and genuine. There are always lots of activities for the children and a very good menu too - much better than
I could do at home. A super space with a large courtyard in the back that is great for outdoor access on sunny days. Daughter has been very happy here. Would highly recommend.

My child has recently started school, after a brilliant two years at nursery.
My son was well cared for, and couldn't wait to get back there in the mornings.
The staff were fantastic with my son, and helped him so much in his development and I cannot thank them enough for all they did.
This
nursery has a really welcoming, family feel, and i would highly recommend the nursery and most of all the staff that make the nursery a lovely place to be.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.755)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.755) out of 10 for Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school, Rose Hill (Oxford) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.755 for Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school, Rose Hill (Oxford) is calculated as follows: ( (220 Excellents x 5) + (55 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 282 Ratings = 4.755
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school, Rose Hill (Oxford) is based on 24 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 77 number of registered child places is 15.4, which has been reached with 24 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
