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.

My son has been going to this nursery since he was 6 months old. He seems to really enjoy it. The staff are amazing and very good at communicating. I was really nervous about him starting due to Covid and not being able to join him on his settles but they made me feel at ease. Nothing is too much and they do everything to make sure myself and child are supported and comfortable. The bond my son has with his key worker is incredible. 100% recommend anyone to send their child here
My daughter has been coming here for the last couple of months and she loves it. All the staff are very friendly and are always so happy and pleased to see her. The food here is fantastic and my daughter loves the food, she always eats very well. My daughter and myself are very happy.

I initially used the Co-op Childcare Cainscross in 2011 with my son and daughter. I looked around all the nurseries in the area but no other compared to this nursery. I was completely won over by the kind and caring nature of the staff. The staff were so well engaged with the children and the...
More recently I used the nursery again in 2019 for my third child. I found this a really difficult time, but staff were gentle in supporting me and my son with his settling in sessions. I felt reassured that he was safe, settled and cared about by the people that were looking after him. The communication and handovers are really personalised to my son and a lot of thought and planning is taken when planning activities with him. My son loves nursery and is so fond of all the staff, I feel involved in his time at nursery and the team are incredible, everyone is so kind and its so lovely that some of the staff are still here from 2011. An incredible nursery!
My child has been attending since she was in the baby room and absolutely loves coming to nursery. The range of activities and resources are amazing.
Thanks ladies!

Our daughter has been in Co-op Childcare Cainscross nursery for nearly 3 years. She is currently in Preschool. She’s always enjoyed going to nursery. She does a very wide range of activities that push her development and keep her engaged. We get regular updates from staff of progress and what she’s...
The food is great and cooked fresh on-site every day. Her key workers have all been enthusiastic and shown their genuine interest in our daughter’s development. They’ve managed Covid really well. We highly recommend this nursery.

During unprecedented times all staff have been great. They have helped settle my 9 month old into the nursery in 2020 after not seeing or being around anyone but family and her keyworker had been fantastic with her. She really enjoys going and it is lovely to have the parent app to see what they are doing and eating daily too. I would highly recommended. Have been great at accomodating extra sessions when required also.

My daughter started nursery when she was just over a year old and I was apprehensive about leaving her, but she has settled in so well and enjoys attending. Her key worker is so warm and friendly and made me feel at ease straight away. All the girls are great with my daughter, she does so many activities and has been out to the park too.
Fantastic nursery for both of my daughters and they have both benefitted from attending The Co-operative nursery.

I love my boy's nursery, I was very apprehensive before he started as he has quite a few allergies and specialist formula but the nursery soon put my mind to rest and my boy still gets to eat yummy food that the chef prepares for him.

He adores his main person Katie and all the staff. I love the fact they do some much with him. especially being outside and trying all sorts of new things like painting etc.

The nursery has been wonderful with my son. They have taken time to understand his individual needs, and the staff are genuinely caring. They offer brilliant support in a number of different areas and he is very happy to go there. He has made friends and enjoys such a range of play activities. I cannot recommend the nursery highly enough! He loves going and sometimes doesn't want to leave because he is so involved in his play. Thank you to all the staff for their care and genuine love - it is a wonderful place for him to be!
My son has been going to Cainscross Co-operative Nursery for nearly 2 years now and my daughter is soon to start. When we moved to the area I spent a lot of time going around the different nurseries in the area as his previous one was so good. As soon as I walked in and shown around Cainscross I...
I would highly recommended this nursery to anyone in the area.

All the staff are brilliant and are in the job because they want to be there and actually care for the children not just because they have to be.
They always stick to any requirement I have asked to be put in place for my children even if different to protocol is (for example letting my child nap after lunch right up until leaving for school when most of the older children don’t nap).
The food the children are given during their day is brilliant.
Finally, I think what says it all for me is that my children have felt safe, secure and happy when there and go running in feeling welcomed and loved even my eldest who has now left is always welcomed back. They are not just a number but each child an individual who is nurtured and cared for in a way best for them.
The staff are wonderful and are very good with our son who at times doesn’t want to be left at nursery. However as soon as we get into the building and he has walked into the toddler room the staff are there for a big cuddle with him and I can go knowing that he is going to have a fun packed day...

However as soon as we get into the building and he has walked into the toddler room the staff are there for a big cuddle with him and I can go knowing that he is going to have a fun packed day and by the time we pick him up we struggle to get him to leave. Thank you for making his Thursdays lots of fun!

Both our children have attended the nursery from age one up to pre-school age. We were very happy and confident with the care and support provided. The staff do an amazing job.

Fantastic nursery, the staff are very friendly and put you at ease if you have any issues or concerns. They listen to you and have the best interests for your children. My son loved coming here and he was able to come out of his shell and had the confidence to be who he wanted to be and be expressive. The staff are always willing to help and work with you. They always tell you how they got on and what they did at nursery and also how they were on the day. The staff are very friendly and caring.
