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.

The staff are friendly, helpful and approachable and my son has built up some lovely relationships with them. It is almost a shame when his birthday comes round and he has to leave his keyworker behind and form a bond with someone new in the next room, though all the staff are lovely so this doesn't take long.
He has recently moved up to Preschool and every morning he looks forward to going to Preschool to see the staff and his friends.

They promote a collaborative, team working, supportive culture and environment with parents, carers and other professionals. They’re an exemplary role model for nurturing and developing children’s growth. Can’t praise this childcare enough.
My son started a month ago and the staff have been fabulous in his transition from home to nursery. They keep me posted via the nursery app about what he eats, drinks and things he does at nursery. All the staff are friendly and caring and bubbly! He couldn’t be in better hands, thank you Pioneers!

My eldest transferred here in January after her nursery closed down and I can honestly say it was the best move for her. She was instantly so much happier and willing to go to nursery. They take such good care of her and I have started my youngest there this week.

My son has been at the nursery since he was 9 months old and he's now nearly 3. The staff are absolutely lovely and really connect with the child and parent. I always know my son is going to have an amazing day there and his development has been really strong. The facilities are great, especially since the recent renovation! He always gets a great variety of meals and often gets to help make cakes and biscuits to take home with him. We're planning on keeping him here all the way to preschool before he moves into primary school as we're all so happy with the nursery.
Excellent care provided to my little one. He loves it too, makes drop off easier and piece of mind for the rest of the day. Very friendly polite staff and managers.

The nursery also uses an app to update you on your child's day. It's brilliant, as you can see what they have been doing, and what they have had to eat, and if there's anything going on in the nursery that you need to know about. It also allows you to communicate with the staff too.
This is a fantastic nursery that I fully recommend.
Both my children are very happy at the nursery. All the staff have helped them both settle in over the years and they always made sure my children meet their full potential.

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.
As a mum of 2, I know what things are important to families and cascade these thoughts and feelings to the team so they get a true understanding and empathy towards our families.

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!
