Review from Emily (Mother of Child) published on 1 February 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My little boy has only just started and we have found the settling in process to be great. They listen to you and take your anxieties about leaving your child into account and offer as many settling in’s and you see fit.

My son seems very happy here and the staff and learning environment is excellent. I looked around many nurseries and this by far was better than any nursery I saw. I knew instantly that my boy was going to be happy here.

We are so pleased with the attention and care our daughter receives on her three days at this nursery. I would totally recommend them. The staff are so good and I feel confident that my daughter is well cared for there. My eldest daughter went here too so we have used the nursery since 2013.

Both my children have attended the Swindon Hospital Nursery. From day one, I’ve felt at ease with how they will be looked after. They have a range of activities, variety of food and the staff are fantastic.

Overall Experience

Cooperative Nurseries of Marlborough road, Swindon, is excellent. The staff are very warm, welcoming and friendly. Both my children have attended this nursery and both have experienced excellent care. Although children are appointed a key worker, each member of staff still takes time to get to know your child.

Review from Clare F (Mother of Child) published on 25 December 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We have been so happy with this nursery. I am so glad I decided to enrol my daughter here because I genuinely do not believe there is another nursery anywhere that is as amazing as this one. My daughter is so happy here, she cries when it’s time to go home! I’m sad that my daughter is due to start primary school in September because she and I are going to be sad that we won’t get to come and see everyone at the nursery anymore! Staff are fantastic and it is like leaving her with trusted friends, as they really take the time and effort to get to know the family. Thanks Co-op. We love you!

Review from Sian Y (Mother of Child) published on 23 November 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

What a fantastic nursery! Every single member of staff has made our children feel welcome, safe and secure which is all we can ask as parents. Staff build wonderfully strong, lasting relationships and offer a stimulating, varied and challenging environment for the children. Our daughter comes out full of the experiences she has had and the friendships she has built, both children and staff. Staff report back to parents clearly with relevant information. I thought the recent Pre School information evening/parents evening was a very important part of our daughter's transition into the next stage of nursery. All staff do everything they can to help with any queries. We can not recommend this nursery highly enough, their team do an amazing job!

Overall Experience
The staff are always friendly and happy, they make me feel at ease and my child is always happy to be going to nursery. The staff are great at encouraging early years development and have introduced lots of new ways to help the children in ways which are fun.

The Co-operative Childcare Swindon Hospital Nursery have always gone the extra mile to help accommodate and I can honestly recommend to anyone!!

Review from Stephanie H (Mother of Child) published on 15 March 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Such a lovely nursery! Being an anxious mum, I am put at ease from the minute I step into the nursery, the whole team are lovely and always smiling. My son has come on leaps and bounds in his socialising skills and much more. It is clear that the children are the upmost important to all the carers involved and I'm so glad and grateful for all they do. I couldn't have asked for a better nursery. He has loved it from the start (9months now 3) and plus it's only over the road from my work so can be there in an instant if ever needed.

Review from Alexandra (Mother of Child) published on 1 March 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter had a lovely time at this nursery. Notably down to a handful of carers. She was looked after and encouraged to be her best.
The downside was the disorganisation of admin matters where I had to ask three times for a particular payment plan, which were ignored and things were forgotten quickly. Emails got lost. In the end, I couldn't be sure that things would get done unless I did them myself.

Overall though I felt happy leaving my little girl there and knew she was happy.

It's a great nursery. The car park can be slow to enter if you don't have a hospital pass, but care and learning for the children are the most important things and this nursery does that extremely well. I highly recommend this nursery to friends and family.

My son has been at the nursery since he was 9 months old and he will be going to school this September. We are very happy with the nursery. You can feel a personal touch as all girls from the nursery know a lot about my son and it helps a lot with his learning development. I would recommend this nursery 100%.

Review from H F (Mother of Child) published on 21 February 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I couldn't recommend this nursery enough. After a long time thinking about the childcare provisions within the area and extensive looking around at the nurseries in Swindon, I stumbled upon this nursery and I was really impressed with how informative they were on the telephone, as with any first time parent I was sick with nerves leaving my child, but they were fantastic and they really reassured me and didn't make me feel stupid that I was feeling this way.
My child is now in the pre-school room and has gone through all the rooms. My child has developed well in all areas of development and I feel this is down to the staff in the nursery.
There is a welcoming vibe from the entrance of the nursery right through to the kitchen. Everyone is always happy and shows an interest in my child. I feel these girls at the nursery are another part of our family as they have been a massive part in my families lives.

I could not thank them enough for the memories they have created!

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!
