Little Pioneers Swindon is a purpose built, modern nursery which is all on one level with large, bright and airy rooms and their supportive practitioners make Swindon feel like one big family.
They have an app, ParentZone, which keeps parents/carers informed about life at nursery with photos from their day, meals eaten, assessments and even toilet training progress! They have 5 Little Pioneers who help share their core values with children such as encouraging them to express their feelings to taking care of the world.
They are big on happy children which is why they have areas for growing food (and eating it), regular visits to local care homes and take care of each other and the world. They are silver eco schools accredited, a programme that sees children lead the way in making little changes that deliver big environmental differences.
They are also big on safety which is why ALL their staff are paediatric first aid trained.
At Little Pioneers Swindon Hospital Nursery there are four age appropriate spacious rooms, nought to one-year-olds, one to two-year-olds, two to three-year-olds and three to five-year-olds. All rooms have direct access and 'free flow' into the secure garden area. Each room is self-contained with a sleep room, nappy and toilet area and a milk kitchen for younger rooms.

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.

What a fantastic nursery! All staff are approachable. They greet the children every morning with a smile and do a handover with the parents and carers. No job is ever an issue. My child has only been attending since April, 2 days a week and has settled so quickly because of how lovely the nursery...
We are very happy to see how much our little boy enjoys going to nursery. We knew it would be the right nursery from our gut feeling when having a tour and we are so glad we were lucky enough to get our child a place.
From the moment we enquired we were made to feel at ease and comfortable. As a first time mum I was very nervous and felt like I was asking very obvious questions. Nothing was too much for them and they have been so welcoming. Communication was so quick too, most of the time replying the same day

My daughter has been at Little Pioneers for half a year now and as it was a change of nursery with us moving we were concerned. But everyone has been really helpful, and it's been a very smooth transition. She loves going to the nursery. And I must say the pre school team really went above and beyond with her meals as well. So really the best things to say about the whole team.
We have two children at this nursery and we have nothing but praise for the facilities, activities, communication and management. The staff are amazing and build such beautiful bonds with the children.

Couldn't have found a better place to send our daughter to Nursery. I was very nervous going back to work what with the change to routine and feeling sad that I wouldn't spend as much time with her, but I couldn't rate every staff member highly enough, they have made her transition so seamless and have genuine love and care in everything they do. My daughter loves every staff member and I couldn't be happier.
Lovely caring staff, always there for my little one who has been there since Age 1 (now almost 3). He's always had a great time at nursery. Love the variety of activities and food and outdoor time. He's learnt so much since being there.

An excellent nursery where my granddaughter has continued to blosson throughout her time here, from the baby room to Preschool. Super facilities and resources and great team of staff , room practitioners, admin staff and management and a special thank you to those behind the wonderful lunches. The curriculum is exciting and engaging incorporating super learning outside the classroom activities.
Our boy has been so happy here from age one through to four and made lots of Friends and happy memories. All of the staff are phenomenal and we can't recommend Little Pioneers highly enough. Thank you so much for everything you do for us. Matt

The team create a nurturing environment where children feel safe, supported and encouraged to explore. The activities are varied and engaging, with a lovely balance of structured learning and free play. We've seen real progress in his confidence, communication and independence since starting.
Communication with parents is excellent - we are regularly updated about his day, achievements and any concerns. The staff are approachable and always happy to discuss how things are going.
What stands out most is how well the practitioners know each child individually. They are patient, kind and responsive, which gives us great reassurance as parents.
We're very grateful for the care and dedication of the whole team and would happily recommend this nursery to other families.

The staff are consistently professional, warm, and genuinely engaged with the children's development. We've noticed a significant boost in our child's social skills and confidence over the last month.We couldn't be happier with the level of care and communication we receive.
My second child is now at this nursery and I really would recommend them to anyone. The staff are knowledgeable, kind, friendly and so supportive; my children have flourished under their guidance and care!

It was a no brainer when we were choosing a nursery for our second child.
My 16 month old son walked into nursery this morning, stopped briefly for a cuddle with one of his key workers, and then went off to play happily. Seeing him so confident and comfortable in the nursery environment was the perfect reinforcement of what we already know: Little Pioneers Swindon is...
The staff are exemplary. They are caring and kind, and both of our children are flourishing.
If you can get a place here, take it.
Well what can I say - our experience at this nursery has been and still is amazing. Not only do they take care of our child to an exceptional standard but they care for us as a family too.

Well what can I say - our experience at this nursery has been and still is amazing. Not only do they take care of our child to an exceptional standard but they care for us as a family too. Every member of staff is lovely, supportive and caring, the activities they plan and the learning they do with the children is brilliant. The communications via the app are great and the updates at handover are always so personal. I couldn't recommend this nursery enough! Also, how they get our 2 year old to eat things he won't eat at home - magic!

Incredibly happy with our nursery. All staff are friendly and supportive, and have gone the extra mile to help support my daughter through lots of stages including transitioning rooms, potty training and welcoming her baby brother. Her confidence, independence, social skills and ability to verbalise her experience has blossomed with their help. Absolutely no reservations about my son starting there this year! Thank you!
Our little girl has really enjoyed her time at nursery. She will be leaving this year for school and has attended since she was 1. The staff have always been engaging and the activities they complete are varied and interesting. There is plenty of outdoor play and the rooms are always clean with...
There is an app for updates so you know about what food they've had, nap times, nappy changes etc and some photos of what they have been doing across the week. The meals are also varied with 3 meals provided throughout the day, which was great for us as working parents.
I'd recommend this nursery to anyone considering it, it was the best we'd looked around and ticked lots of boxes for us.

Our son has been attending Little Pioneers Nursery Swindon since January 2023 and my husband and I have nothing but amazing things to say about the nursery itself and staff. They go above and beyond and have made our sons experience extremely positive. He adores going to nursery and speaks so highly of the staff. He has always been made to feel welcome and our second son will be attending when he is old enough also. We feel the nursery have catered to our sons needs and include real life situations such as becoming a big brother and created topics and activities around this. We are really grateful for how much the nursery have supported our son to continue to develop.

I have worked at the nursery since the day it opened in 2003 and have loved developing it into the amazing place it is today! I have over 30 years of experience in childcare and use my knowledge and experience to build the team and the nursery to be the best.

I was first introduced to the Little Pioneers nursery when I completed a placement here as part of my college training back in 2012. I thoroughly enjoyed my time, so much so that I applied for a position and became a colleague as soon as I completed my training! I have worked my way up from Nursery Nurse to Room Manager, Third in charge and most recently I have taken on the role of the Deputy Manger. I worked in the 2-3s and under 2 ages mainly. I am the nursery SENCO and enjoy supporting families that need a little bit more support for their child. I work full time so you will get to see me every day, I'm always happy to stop for a chat and if you need to pick my brains about something then I'm here for you!
