Review from Steph L (Mother of Child) published on 15 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
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 is. His key worker is amazing and is always ready to answer my million questions. The weekly round up on the app just shows what a great range of activities are available for the children to experience.

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.

Overall Experience

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

After a recommendation from other parents we know they're sending their children to the Little Pioneers in Swindon, my husband and I decided to send our child there too and we could not be happier!! Our child is enjoying spending time with the other children as well as the practitioners, enjoying the activities, and is always happy when we go in every morning!! My child is happy so we are happy too!! I would definitely recommend the Little Pioneers in Swindon to other families we know with children!!

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

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.

Review from Zuzana T (Mother of Child) published on 9 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We have been extremely happy with this nursery and the care our son receives here. From the very beginning (since 9months old), the staff have been warm, welcoming and genuinely invested in his wellbeing and development.
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.

Our experience with the nursery has been fantastic since our child started. The transition period was handled with so much care, which really put our minds at ease as parents. 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.

Weve been with Little Pioneers for approx 3 years now and have never had any issues at all. All practioners are very professional, excellent communication across the entire nursery staff and very well aligned with the English Curriculum.

It was a no brainer when we were choosing a nursery for our second child.

Review from Emily G (Mother of Child) published on 9 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
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 playing an active role in his development as a happy, settled, independent little boy.
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.

Overall Experience

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!

Overall Experience

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!

Review from Laura S (Mother of Child) published on 9 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
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 interesting displays and a good amount of play time activities.
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.

We have had 2 children now attend little pioneers and couldn't ask for a better setting. The kindness and attention of each member of staff has helped our little ones to thrive. They take a personal approach with each child and have excellent communication to us as parents. I wouldn't want my children to go anywhere else!

Overall Experience

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 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!
