At Little Pioneers John Radcliffe Hospital there are 5 home rooms within the nursery split into the following age groups: 3 rooms for the 0-2 year olds, one room for the 2-3 year olds and one room for the 3-5 year olds.
They are big on safety which is why ALL their staff are paediatric first aid trained. They have an app called ParentZone which keeps mums and dads informed about life at nursery with photos of their day, assessments, meals eaten and even toilet training progress!
They have 5 Little Pioneers who help share their core values with children from encouraging them to express their feelings to making a difference in the world. They are big on happy children so they have areas for growing food (and eating it), regular visits to local care homes and take care of each other and the world.
The nursery are silver eco schools accredited, an internationally recognised award for excellence in environmental action and learning.
There are four separate garden play areas that are age and developmentally appropriate. The children also have an allotment area where they learn how to take care of plants; fruit, vegetables and flowers and enjoy watching them grow. At the end of the season the children pick and taste the fruit and vegetables which are often used with a cooking activity.

About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- Working parents of children aged 9 months to 2 years can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery stretches funded hours across 52 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 52 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 21.9 hours are covered each week. Hours beyond this, including the early and late parts of the day, are charged at the standard rate.
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

I am extremely satisfied with the nursery and how my son is looked after. My little one is currently potty training and the nursery staff have all been very helpful and demonstrated attention to my son's needs. It's amazing when he comes home and sings us songs he's learnt at nursery. He is clearly learning and growing thanks to the attentions all members of staff are giving him.

I am very pleased to see my son so happy and joyful each time I pick him up from the nursery. I think it is an excellent place with wonderful, kind and well trained staff who are all loved by the children. I really appreciate the fact that there is a lot of effort being put into organising various activities for them, despite the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic. Most importantly, they are encouraging learning and development through play. There is a lot of communication, both verbal at the end of the day and updates and pictures on the app, which gives me as a parent a lot of reassurance and security. Overall I am very grateful for the high standard of care that my son has at the nursery especially during such difficult times when I had to focus a lot on work as a Doctor.
The facilities in the nursery are clean and safe. My friend also highly recommend this nursery to us. The price is reasonable.

Everyone at Little Pioneers have been wonderful. They have really taken care of my daughter and she has blossomed even more! I really like the app where you can track how your little one is keeping during the day. Thank you for the lovely service you have provided thus far.

My little boy is always happy to go into nursery, and I enjoy being informed of all the fun and activities he has done each day at pick up. Really friendly staff and having a manager at the desk there for drop off and collections is great when you have a question. They have been really flexible with accommodating extra days when possible. I believe that my son gets a lot out of his time at this nursery, they are able to be creative, messy and make friends. I enjoy hearing him chat about his friends and them saying hello to each other when waiting to enter the nursery. I think the communication through the parent app is great as it's nice to know what they are eating, how well they have slept and see pictures of what they have been up to. They have been really great through lockdown, I feel very pleased that I chose this nursery.
Staff are really good and friendly. Really well organised. My daughter loves to go to nursery and talks about her teacher when she came home. I recommend this nursery to my friends and family. Thank you for hard work.

It would be brilliant to be able to be more flexible on adding extra days but we appreciate this could be very difficult logistically in the current climate.
Overall, we would really recommend the nursery - welcoming bright, friendly and with children at the very centre.
My children have been coming here for the last three years. I feel privileged to have found such a wonderful nursery. The team are always welcoming and wonderful with the children. It is a very safe environment and lots of fun learning. My children always return very happy.
