At Little Pioneers Cainscross they make friends across generations. Their children make regular visits to their local care home where they play games, learn songs and play creatively with residents.
They are big on safety which is why ALL their practitioners are paediatric first aid trained. They also have an app called Famly which keeps parents/carers updated on how their little ones are getting on at nursery, with photos of their day, meals eaten and even toilet training progress!
They have 5 Little Pioneers who help share their core values with children. They are also 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 as they focus on taking care of each other and the world and have areas for growing food (and eating it!).
The nursery has two baby rooms for children aged three months to two-years-old, a room for two to three-year-olds and one for three to five-year-olds. The nursery has a large enclosed garden, with separate areas for under and over two's, which contains a soft play surface, paving slabs, bark and grass.

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.

Fantastic nursery, everyone is wonderful, enthusiastic and so supportive of my child and our family. My child still has his moments when he is dropped off, but the staff always give him the attention and nurturing he needs while also reassuring us as parents throughout.

What can I say about Cainscross Nursery they are like family to me & my boys. We have used this nursery for the last 5 years first through covid for my oldest child who only used pre-school. All the staff were exceptional throughout this uncertain time & he absolutely loved attending. My youngest started at 9 months old and has been through each room where I can safely say each and every staff member has been brilliant! Through supporting us with milk allergies, family situations, sleep problems, tantrums the lot, the general care and compassion all the staff give at this nursery is phenomenal! From the welcoming ladies in reception to the key workers in the rooms and even kitchen staff, I would recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a safe & welcoming environment for their child to grow and learn! The recently renovated space looks outstanding & it is a credit to the staff that the renovations took place with very little disruption to the children and level of care they provide
Wonderful caring staff who are really welcoming and provide amazing care for my son. They have just had a refurbishment and the provision provided is excellent. They regularly update the app and I know exactly what my son has been up to.

I have my second child now at coop nursery and my son bounces on in with an huge smile on his face and looks forward to his time with his amazing key worker. I'm very thankful for having a nursery that offers everything from knowledgable and friendly management, clean and tidy inside spaces and an excellent outside space to encourage learning and engagement at every opportunity. Thank you to all the staff!

The staff at Cainscross Little Pioneers are always super friendly, helpful and supportive. They have an incredibly difficult job but always greet me with big smiles on their faces; seemingly happy to help and invested in my son and his development as much as I am. It is with great confidence that I trust my child in their hands, especially seeing first hand how enthusiastic all the staff from reception, to key persons, to kitchen staff are with him. He appears completely relaxed in their company, settled remarkably quickly and loves to wave and interact with everyone. All the staff are incredibly organised and intuitive and continue to go above and beyond my expectations of care and support for my child, leaving me completely satisfied and content with his placement there. It has been one of the best things I have done for him and he absolutely loves it. He is always happy to go and always smiling when I collect him. I would highly recommend Cainscross to anyone seeking childcare.
Amazing nursery with great and caring stuff for our little one! It means a lot seeing him enjoying his time there and improving his skills ! I would definitely recommend this nursery! Management team are always happy to help and support me

All staff also work well with parents and have great communication with what's been happening in the day.

The nursery its self is always clean and welcoming. There is lots of activities set up in the class room for children to explore.
There is a wonderful out door area with a selection of bikes and outdoor activities.

I could not recommend this nursery highly enough. The staff are incredibly kind, welcoming and knowledgeable. They go above and beyond to get to know every child in their care and to make them feel safe and happy. Having had such a successful experience here with my son, I am now experiencing the same with my daughter. The children engage in thoughtful, well-planned activities that respond to their interests. Both my children have been anxious to separate from me and this nursery could not do more to reassure me and them. My son has now entered school and is flourishing because of his wonderful preschool experience here. He absolutely loved it and it enabled him to start school feeling confident, prepared and happy. This nursery's recent refurbishment has added the final piece of perfection for me. The spaces are inviting and equipped with well-curated resources to facilitate learning. If you are looking for a happy, safe, inspiring, caring setting for your child, this is it.
Such a wonderful nursery. My daughter loves it here! The staff are knowledgeable, caring, fun and kind.

Such a wonderful nursery. My daughter loves it here! The staff are knowledgeable, caring, fun and kind. They understand the importance of working alongside parents to support their child's development and I always feel informed and up to date with my child's interests, learning and development. The management team are lovely! They always greet us with a big smile and are happy to help with anything we need. The chef cooks delicious nutritious meals which my daughter always eats, so much so I have had to ask for the recipes to do at home. 10/10 childcare and education!

My son has been in one of the baby rooms (0-2) for nearly a year now and absolutely loves it. In fact he doesn't want to come home at the end of the day! The staff are all lovely and seem to genuinely care about the kids. They try and get outside every day and the activities are very varied. The setting has also had a full refurb recently. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the nursery based on our experience so far.

My boy's relationship with his key worker is amazing, he adores her and tries to say her name. He's growing leaps and bounds. Thank you to all the staff.
Couldn't recommend this nursery highly enough. The staff are wonderful - they genuinely care about the kids and look after them as individuals. Food is really good - I love knowing my kids are eating properly throughout the week. The nursery recently had a refurb and it looks great!

First-class childcare, from babies to preschool. Our daughter has attended the Co-op Cainscross since she turned 1 and is now in preschool. She loves every moment and can't wait to go into preschool each day! It is so great dropping her off in the morning knowing that she will have a lovely day, learning and having fun. The staff at the nursery are absolutely marvellous and have supported us through all the ups and downs of having a small child from weaning, potty training and illness, to now preparing for school. I know our daughter will be very sad to leave the Co-op, and all the wonderful staff there, in September.
