Overall Experience

My little one goes to the preschool and enjoys it there so much. All staff are kind and caring and interact with the children really well. I have no worries when he attends for the day. My youngest is starting this month and know she will be well looked after and love it too! I highly recommend this nursery and preschool!

Review from G K (Mother of Child) published on 8 April 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
This nursery is the best around and you can see as it has an 'outstanding' award in terms of service it provides. We have been with Little Pioneers for all the way through from the baby room up until preschool. The activities that are organised on a daily basis are stimulating and fun for the children. The refurbishment that took place has resulted in eco-friendly equipment and bright airy rooms.
The outside space is well maintained and the toys to play with are all in a fantastic condition.
Meals are provided that are substantial, healthy and nutritious.
The staff are all super friendly and it has been a joy to bring my children to this well run nursery.

Bravo to all the staff!

Overall Experience
My son has been coming to your nursery for two years and he loves it.
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.

Overall Experience

This is an amazing warm open and honest childcare provider. Little Pioneers go above and beyond for my son every day; they’ve become extended family - that I adore.

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.

Overall Experience

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!

Overall Experience

Absolutely amazing staff. They have all made my son feel welcome and comfortable especially two staff members in particular. He looks forward to every day at Little Pioneers and I couldn’t feel more at ease about leaving him with such competent, highly trained staff who always have smiles on their faces.

Overall Experience

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.

Review from Kirsty H (Mother of Child) published on 4 April 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

We have two children currently at the nursery. We have used other nurseries in the area and seen many. This nursery is by far one of the best in Swindon. The facilities are excellent. The staff are well qualified and really help with child development at all stages. Both our children are extremely happy and enjoy attending. The management team is very open and welcoming. They are always available to talk if needed.

Review from Zoë (Mother of Child) published on 1 February 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My 3-year-old loves this nursery, and so do I. It was a big adjustment for her to go to nursery, but the staff are fantastic, and they make her feel at ease and comfort her when she's upset.
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.

Tracy Rundle Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2003
Tracy Rundle

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.

Leanna Banovic Job Title: Deputy Manager Joined: 2012
Leanna Banovic

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!
