Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-School Oxford Station is ideally located next to the railway station and it has four spacious rooms each with direct access to the outside, allowing children the choice to move freely between inside and out whenever they choose.
They are big on happy children and they have areas for growing food (and eating it), regular visits to care homes and a focus on taking care of each other and the world. The nursery are silver eco schools accredited, a programme that sees children lead the way in making little changes that deliver big environmental differences.
The nursery team are big on safety which is why ALL their staff are paediatric first aid trained. They use their 5 Little Pioneers to help share their core values with children, encouraging them to be independent, make their own choices, express their feelings and make a difference in the world.
Their Famly app keeps parents/carers informed about life at nursery and includes photos from their day, assessments, meals eaten and even toilet training progress.
Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-School Oxford Station love learning to cook as their onsite chef assists their nursery practitioners with interactive, fun-filled (and safe!) cooking activities whilst teaching children the importance of eating healthy too.

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 would definitely recommend this nursery if, you can live with the limited outside space the nursery can offer (only downside, but not much they can do).

The staff at the nursery are extremely welcoming and proactive. Although our son did not always want to join in on group activities, they thought about the best ways in which he could develop and progress. The nursery can be quite busy, but the staff adopt a personal approach to each child. The food is great and when our son comes home in the evening he is always happy and satisfied!
We love all the staff here at the nursery. They have been extremely kind and helpful towards the care of my child. We've been sending our child since he was two to mingle and play with the local children. He's really enjoying his time at the nursery.

Our child has thrived in the nursery and absolutely loves it there! He is very attached to the teachers, who are kind and warm, and the mix of outside play space with indoor toys and activities keeps him happy and busy.

Decent nursery, not too much to comment on except the food. I have to say the quality of the food provided is fantastic. Some carers are above standard while others are not. I only recommend this nursery to whom live nearby, otherwise you should have a better choice.

Both our boys love nursery. In all the rooms they are well known and cared for. The food is brilliant. Some staff are exceptionally committed and caring. Others are less experienced but still put the effort in. There are good systems in place to support staff.

Often the staff have a little anecdote about something my child did during the day which I really appreciate. The move to recruit more men to the nursery has really worked and is very positive for my son.

Hi, I’m Zoe, the Nursery Manager, and I’m proud to say I’ve been part of this wonderful nursery family for 15 years. Over that time, Oxford Station has truly become my second home. I’ve had the privilege of watching so many children grow, learn and flourish, and nothing makes me happier than seeing their confidence shine each day. I’m passionate about creating a warm, welcoming environment where every child feels safe, valued and inspired to explore the world around them. Our nursery is full of laughter, curiosity and care, and I’m incredibly proud to lead such a dedicated and nurturing team. We can’t wait to welcome you and your little one into our nursery family!

I have been part of the nursery team since 2014, starting my journey as a Level 2 practitioner straight from college. While working, I went on to complete my Level 3 qualification, further developing my knowledge and passion for early years education.
Over the years, I have had the opportunity to work in every room across the nursery, gaining valuable experience with children of all ages and stages of development. I have progressed from Room Manager to Deputy Manager, a role I am incredibly proud to hold.
Since joining, I have worked closely alongside Zoe, and together we have grown within the nursery, supporting one another as we have both worked our way up. I feel very fortunate to be part of such a dedicated team and to continue supporting the children and families within our nursery community.
