Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-School, Ashton Court

Overall it has been a really positive experience for all three of us.

Staff are really caring with the children, the halo aid in key milestones, communication is great and they give us a summary when we go to collect our child, we have also been given tips from the staff to help our child's progression at home.

Great nursery!

My son has been going here for past 2.5 years and it's been absolutely brilliant. There is always fun activities which he looks forward to go to. He has made friends and the carers are brilliant, can't recommend more as all you need to know that your child is in safe hands when ur at work.

I have always liked this nursery for many years and I remember how it used to run before coming privately owned, I think the staff they have there are truly a credit as they go above and beyond their job description to ensure the children are happy and safe, there are a few things I would definitely change, understand the new legal requirements, but days out to the park the library , having fire fighters, psco etc come in should be mandatory, especially in older children, considering the outside is small, for green room the oldest children staff have a day out as a last goodbye, more staff is definitely needed so current staff are not overworked, brinf back food play with actual real food especially in younger children for things like messy play, honest opinion staff deserve a pay rise especially as they go out of there way and for specific days like culture days staff use there own funds this should be funded by nurseries, be family run not all about money.

This is truly one of the best nurseries in the West Midlands. Don't be misled by the old-style building-inside you'll find the kindest, most caring, and warm-hearted team. Our family has experienced their exceptional care firsthand, and we are so grateful for everything they have done for our little one.

We really appreciate all the love and support our child received here, and we'll definitely miss seeing your friendly faces. Thank you for creating such a nurturing environment

My son started in September. The staff use an app to keep us up to date and let us know immediately of any concern. The children take part in a wide range of activities indoors and outdoors. They are also fed a range of cold and warm foods to nurture their pallettes. My son loves being there, is very fond of the staff and is learning a lot.

My daughter started at Ashton court in September 2025 and I can say that I am so pleased I chose this nursery since she is so excited even at the mention of going to nursery. It has been a very caring environment for her, there's always someone there to give her a cuddle if she's having a bit of a wobble at drop off which puts me at ease. She has made so many new friends and i have noticed she is starting to become more vocal since attending Ashton court. I look forward to see her further progression and I am always impressed by the activities and the progress checks that are keeping me updated.

My son has been at Ashton Court for over 3 years, and it has been a really positive experience for him and for us! The practitioners are really friendly, caring and very supportive, they know my son very well and always know the right way to support his development. They always respond to his individual needs and invest a lot of time in coming up with new ways to engage with him. It is a happy, bright, friendly environment, I am kept informed and receive lovely photos and updates regularly. Very happy with the nursery, staff are hardworking, devoted, professional, kind and very caring and would highly recommend. Thank you all and many thanks to Blue room for helping my son transition to the new room, he seems very happy there!

Our son has been attending this kindergarten for the past three years, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. The teachers and staff are incredibly kind, professional, and genuinely care about each child's well-being and development. Over the years, we've seen our son grow in confidence, curiosity, and social skills, and we know the nurturing environment at this kindergarten played a huge role in that.

When attending his first few days at the nursery, my son was very unsettled, however he has gain confidence whilst being there. My son enjoys participating alongside with other children and gained him the boost that he needs although I strongly feel when relating to the app, I am not notified of any pictures relating to my son.The app could improve on posting more pictures. Overall I feel the staff and management are doing a tremendous job in looking after my son, so thank you very much.

Over the festive season, the nursery put on a breakfast with Santa on a Saturday morning. It was a really good event. Ticketed and older siblings were allowed to attend. Good range of breakfast cereals, yoghurts, sausage sandwiches (including vegetarian), juices, tea, coffee and hot chocolate. Santa came to visit everyone in each room. Then after breakfast we were able to go into the Grotto to talk to Santa who also gave a present. There was colouring to keep the children entertained and they also played with the toys in the room. For our first breakfast with Santa experience this was a relaxed event and thoroughly enjoyed by myself and my two children who attend Ashton Court. The staff volunteered to help out and I hope it's an event that is repeated again.

However, we will be sending my daughter in a few week's time, so we’re happy enough with the care provided. Another thing that has disappointed me recently is there are fewer photos on the app. I understand this is due to staffing issues, but what they capture is great! The most important thing for us is that our children are happy and developing and they are! This is why we will continue to send all our children here.

We couldn't be happier with the care provided by Ashton Court. The staff care for our children as they would their own with an abundance of love and kindness. Both my children love their time at nursery and it is clear to see how beneficial it is being for their development. The staff constantly update the activities on offer across the rooms, as parents we are kept involved and there is a real focus on child lead learning.

I am so glad we decided to send our children to Ashton Court as it feels like leaving our children with family.

Feel like even though she's settled with key staff she can still struggle with others. Feel that other staff could interact more.

Great experience my son loves coming to nursery. The staff I cannot fault all of them are really friendly all the time.

Amazing with my daughter, she loves going to nursery.

I have been with Ashton Court for over 5 years now through my 1st and 2nd child. The staff throughout have been wonderful and really got to know my children. My girls have really felt at home here and have created really lovely relationships with staff over the years. The social development I saw in both of them has been incredible. I completely trust everybody here and think everybody does a fantastic job.

They all deserve a massive thanks for their efforts. My daughter still misses her nursery and teachers because it was like a second home to her.

We have two daughters at the nursery and both of them are always happy to come in. The staff are fantastic! Always goes that step further to create an amazing atmosphere in each room. We really love the fact that kids take part in many Montessori - based activities. They learn something new every day. We feel super confident as parents to leave both our daughters with the staff. Each day we pick them up they don't want to go home. I think that means something! I highly recommended it! It make us feel like we were at home.
