Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-School, Stonehouse (Harborne)

I would not hesitate to recommend.

Great nursery. My daughter has come along loads with speech and many other things.

One problem - the company that runs the nurseries billing system is atrocious. Always wrong bills being sent, threatening emails despite payment. A shambles. The poor management comment below is just for the billing, not the Nursery manager themselves who is very very good.

The progress my child made while at First Steps Nursery was amazing but more importantly, her confidence grew and grew. The staff are extremely caring and nurturing and I felt completely at ease leaving my child in their care. The learning experiences that are planned each day are brilliant and I felt the staff knew exactly where my child was in terms of her development and strived to stretch and extend her development.

My child is very happy here and enjoys spending time withhis peers . They are always doing different activities and learning in the process. Hes loved every member of staff who have looked after him so far and i hope he continues to as he moves up.

Overall very pleased with my child's development, progress, and standard of care provided, my child is very happy and content at the nursery, the surroundings are like home from home.

For my surprise, all went so smoothly and good that he is asking on days he is not at the nursery to take him to. He absolutely loves it there. Always full of stories of what he did, friends he made...And I cannot be happier.

Amazing nursery. We get regular daily updates and photos through the app which is very useful. My daughter loves it there and the staff are great. I have no complaints at all, good food, great staff, amazing building and I feel they really do look after her as if it was their own child.

We have found this to be a friendly and caring nursery setting for both of our sons. All of the staff know all of the children and they care about parent input. Thoughtful and personal planning for activities, which are tailored to children's interests. The pre-school is particularly good, they have prepared and supported my eldest son so well through the transition to school. The Forest School is great, staffed with experienced forest school leaders who give the children a brilliant opportunity to gain independence and a life of the outdoors. Good green outside space with areas for each age group.

This is a great nursery - the staff took excellent care of our little boy. He loved going there. The outside space with forest school, mud kitchens and play areas are brilliant, spacious and very green. The rooms inside have lots of sensory areas and toys. This environment and the different planned activities gave him lots of stimulation. The staff were also very careful about his egg allergy. I felt confident leaving him in their care.

My two children have been attending this nursery for over a year now (Aged 2 and 4).

The nursery staff are a great team and both my children have blossomed, since being here.

From an educational point of view, their learning is both structured and varied but with lots of free play involved as well.

From a social aspect, I was worried at first about how my boys would fit it, not having been around many children their own ages. But again, their social development has grown substantially since attending this nursery, with both being confident and interacting with all the children.

Plus the outside space and forest school is a great way for the children to be outside in all types of weather.

They also give you daily updates on how the children have been throughout the day and monthly emails, with pictures and advising what key developments your child has met. A very good source of information and reassurance.

Would highly recommend.

The staff have continued to go that extra mile with both of my children's care. I have been a parent here for five years now and both of my children had individual health challenges, the nursery went above and beyond to understand and adapt to. They made me feel confident that my children were getting the best possible care whilst away from me. I cannot thank them enough.

Very impressed with my child's development! My child is able to use numerous words in sentences and surprises me what they have learned at the nursery. Excellent work with frequently showing the progress my child is making through email profiles, parents evenings and generally verbal updates. Would have loved the nursery to do primary school teaching as would not want my child to go anywhere else. Excellent flexibility, care and safety of my child. Really impressed with the outdoor activities and engaging my child in learning. My child enjoys going nursery as they are able to express this to me.

I'm really happy with the guidance my son has received and looking forward to my daughter attending in June.

Excellent nursery with lots of activities taking place each day. Staff genuinely care for the children and my son enjoys going. They are encouraging his potty training and he does lots of crafts and messy play. He is turning into a very confident happy little boy and has made friends.

First Steps Nursery is an excellent childcare provider. The staff are very welcoming and treats my daughter like their own. I would definitely recommend this nursery and use them again in the future.

The staff are wonderful with my daughter. She was shy when she first started but is now confident and settled. She looks forward to the nursery and comes home happy and exhausted every time I pick her up. Her carers know her well and delight in her progress as much as I do. They are the reason I feel so comfortable leaving my child three days a week.

My daughter has been extremely happy at First Steps. The staff are very caring and develop a strong bond with the children. There are lots of fun and educational activities and the outside facilities are excellent. The nursery has really helped my daughter to develop and she is now very confident and well prepared for starting school in September.

We have been extremely happy with the care provided by the staff over the last 1.5 years. The nursery has excellent outdoor facilities and the children are outside most days which our little boy loves.
