Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-School, Bristol

He has a lovely bond with his room adults and loves talking about them and his day when he comes home.

A wonderful nursery with fantastic, friendly staff. My son has been at the nursery since October 2022 and he absolutely adores it! I cannot fault it. Thank you to all the staff for all their hard work. I would definitely recommend the nursery.

Excellent childcare setting. Warm, friendly and really knowledgeable staff, very inviting environment with fantastic resources. Great food and amazing communication with both management and the staff in the room. My daughter is so happy here and is excited every day to come to the nursery. The staff always take the time to make her feel special and have really taken the time to get to know us as a family. They've really supported her confidence and development.

My daughter has been diagnosed with Autism recently and she has been attending this nursery for the past 2 years. Her progress has been carefully monitored and adjusted according to her needs. Staff are very helpful, friendly and always there for the kids! The nursery is well-equipped!

We absolutely love this nursery. All the staff are always really kind and enthusiastic. You can tell they truly take the time to get to know the children and their personalities. They always give fun updates at the end of the day about what our son has been up to. They always come up with fun activities and send photos of the different sensory trays they create each day.

My daughters have been attending the nursery for 2 years and I can't recommend it highly enough. The girls are so well looked after. All the staff have been fantastic. I was anxious about leaving them but the care they get and the fun they have put me at ease immediately. One of my daughters struggled a bit more with the separation from me and the help the staff gave her was above & beyond. They were great. The office staff are also brilliant and so helpful.

My son has attended this nursery since March, and really settled in, staff are always lovely, and he really seems to enjoy his days there. He has since moved to the toddler room and all has gone smoothly. The updates on the app are great and really help settle any nerves about how their day is going.

We always feel like our little one is well looked after. They have fun and come back with stories of what they have done that day. We're well informed through the parent app and we receive a good handover at the end of each day. We also find they get a good variety of food - sometimes I'm jealous! Each room has an outside area connected to the rooms which is a big plus. My little one always comes home with new words, facts or songs so we know they are learning and developing well. My only wish is that they would come home with more arts and crafts to pin on the fridge.

Always get lovely pictures and updates of what they get up to each day, as well, which puts our minds at ease that he is well entertained and learning new things.

Lovely place and highly recommend!

My daughter has attended this nursery for just over a year now, the staff are so caring and committed and in my opinion, go above and beyond. My daughter is very happy here and has formed strong bonds with the staff and made some lovely friends.

We found this nursery through word of mouth and have been recommending it ever since. Our little one has been going for two and a bit years and has loved every minute of it. The care provided is exceptional, as is the communication between the staff and the parents. As with all toddlers, we have had times where there were behavioural issues that needed correcting, and it has always felt like the staff were happy to work with us to solve the problem. We could not imagine a better place for our child.

My daughter started here in August and has settled in so well. I was so anxious about her starting and leaving her, but she is so well taken care of and now happily waves goodbye to me when I drop her off. She has so much fun and I couldn’t ask for more.

A great and committed team who provide such a fun and warm environment for our son. Creative and well organised, this nursery has been brilliant for our family. The food is varied and they really enjoy it. The rooms are kept up to date with lots of fun new games and activities.

Our daughter has attended Little Pioneers - Co-op Childcare Day Nursery since she turned one. She has flourished since she has been there, forming strong bonds with every key worker she has had and other staff members too. It is lovely when I collect her and everyone seems to know her and say hello. She is always coming home having learnt something new and we are so pleased with the progress she has made, especially with her vocabulary. The children seem to take part in a wide range of activities throughout the day and we love to see the updates provided throughout the day on the app which gives us peace of mind. The nursery engages well with parents and we appreciate the opportunity to provide feedback especially at the parent’s meetings. We would recommend the nursery to anyone.

Thank you all so much for all your hard work!

This nursery is fantastic, the care and detail they provide for my son is outstanding. My son goes in every day with a smile on his face and excited to see the staff and his friends. The meals prepared in the on-sight kitchen are of fantastic quality and great diversity from all areas of the world, he always has seconds. The planning and observations we receive are always tailored to really progress and support my son's development. They always listen to us as parents and use us as a key way to ensure my son is well looked after and challenged in a proactive way. They are definitely part of the family and dropping him off is easy. The management team always go above and beyond to answer and help with any questions or queries without any issues or hesitance. With Covid they have put so many measures in place to ensure my child and their staff are safe and I feel at ease in the middle of the pandemic with this. I cannot fault this nursery in any way and would 100% recommend this nursery.

My little one started attending this nursery at eleven months old in the middle of the Covid-19 lockdown, with us handing her to the staff at the door. It has been hard for us to trust the nursery without seeing staff interacting with babies, during their normal opening times before lockdown you would have seen this. Fortunately, our girl has seemed to have settled in okay and staff are always friendly and very helpful, updating the app and answering phones, letting us know how she is doing. Overall, we were really happy with everything until we have found out that in this nursery, unlike any other nursery in Bristol and I have contacted quite a few others to check, was wearing masks within the bubbles when interacting and taking care of babies. From my research the government advice was to form bubbles in order to avoid wearing the masks as it could have a negative impact on children's mental, social and language development. Because of this, sadly we will be looking into moving our baby into a different nursery.

The nursery team are so dedicated and hardworking, particularly during Covid, which has been so challenging. We always receive clear communications when things change and the team are quick to respond to any individual queries. My daughter has attended since she was 10 months old and is a happy soul. She sings songs at home that she's learned at nursery and always goes in and comes out with a smile on her face.

Overall: it's a lovely and safe place, with lovely people!
