  • Your Co-op Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school Cainscross, Stroud
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.

Review from Kate (Mother of Child) published on 16 February 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Great place made to feel at ease and part of the nursery family from day one.


Really happy with the way my son is cared for on the days he attends and he is so happy to be there and has settled in so fast which has just put me at complete ease.


Food ticks all of his boxes and he really seems

to enjoy and has moved on leaps and bounds in his capabilities with feeding himself.


Only been going a few weeks but it's been great and I feel really happy to leave my child in the nursery which I never thought I would.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am very happy with my daughter's childcare. The provider is very flexible, I am a teacher and they provide a term-time contract (the only one in Stroud)
They are also happy to accommodate extra days. My daughter is very happy at nursery.The staff are friendly and she enjoys the food and activities.
The hours of the nursery are ideal - 7.30am until 6.30pm.
If my daughter is unwell, the nursery care is good and we are informed without being panicked.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been attending the nursery for almost 12 months and is extremely happy when coming in the mornings.
He is developing really well and I have seen an improvement most days with his speech, understanding and general social development.
The staff are always friendly and welcoming and my son
enjoys the vast array of food that is available.
I would definitely recommend this nursery to friends and family.

I would highly recommend this nursery. Both my children have been here, we've never had any problems, issues.
All the staff are lovely and friendly.
I cannot fault this nursery at all.
All the rooms are well equipped and decorated, the outside space is lovely and safe for all the children.
Both
my children always went in smiling and came out smiling.

My child has settled in lovely within the nursery setting. She seems happy with all members of staff. At the early stages when my child was slightly unsure about being left/away from me. All the staff were lovely and reassuring and let me stay in reception for a while, then they would go up and check
to see that she had settled. I always get a detailed report of her day. Overall a lovely relaxed and child happy environment. 5* treatment.

Review from Hayley (Mother of Child) published on 13 February 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My daughter thoroughly enjoys her time there and the staff are super, however we've had numerous issues with the administration and billing, receiving invoices for other children, and payment vouchers being reversed without consultation. It's also £10/day more expensive than a previous nursery so this
certainly adds up.

Really friendly staff who work together brilliantly. They work hard to engage the children with a range of creative activities that I would never manage at home! I am confident that they take great care of my child.

Amazing staff. Amazing with the kids. My daughter loved going to nursery. Brilliant rooms for different aged kids. Hot food served for the kids every day. By far one of the best nurserys I have seen in and around Stroud.

My daughter really enjoys it at the nursery. She has come on so much from when she started, all the staff that have contact always tell me she's really good and her communication skills are great. Really glad I chose this nursery over the other ones I was thinking about.

Review from Emily (Mother of Child) published on 9 February 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My boys have a good time when coming to this nursery, and seem to eat well. They enjoy playing in the outdoor space and there is a variety of toys and activities including singing which the boys love. There is a limited amount of art which comes home (not a bad thing!) but they bring home cards for
special occasions. If you want a minute by minute account of what your child has been up to, then this nursery is not for you (I have only used the toddler and preschool room, not the baby room) you get a general overview, but limited details unless there is a problem, in which case they are thorough. I like this though as I don't want pick up to take more than 5 mins. The staff are friendly and have taken the time to tell my identical twins apart. The toilets for the toddlers and preschoolers are obviously well used, but I have never, even at the end of the day, seen evidence of accidents or spills which is quite something. The early opening and late closing is very helpful.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.956)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.956) out of 10 for Your Co-op Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school Cainscross is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 40 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 40 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.956 for Your Co-op Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school Cainscross is calculated as follows: ( (457 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 478 Ratings = 4.956
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Your Co-op Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school Cainscross is based on 40 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 61 number of registered child places is 12.2, which has been reached with 40 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
