Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-School, Ashton Court

My son has been attending this nursery since he was 13 months old. He is now 2 and a half years old and I am very pleased with how the nursery is preparing him for school. I am pleased with how the nursery encourages parents to take part in activities centred around the nursery and children. I am also pleased with how they keep you up to date with your child's development. Overall, I am very pleased with the service I have received from Ashton Court First Steps Nursery in the last few years which has enabled me to carry on with my full-time education.

A lovely and friendly staff.

My daughter's always happy to be here.

Management in-house is excellent but I haven’t met anyone from the Co-op Childcare yet.

Very happy with this nursery. My child is happy and confident. Learning and interacting with other children. Has so much fun whilst being there. She does get upset in the morning when I drop her off but after the staff reassure her she is fine within minutes and is off playing. I would recommend this nursery and I have not a bad word to say about it.

Staff are very friendly and welcoming. My daughter enjoys coming to nursery and her immediate carers make her feel settled and happy. Very nice to see that the nursery manager is so hands on.

I would definitely recommend this nursery to anyone.

Staff are so friendly and approachable. Take time out to get to know children as individuals. Constantly keep parents up to date regarding child's progress and next steps.

First Steps is a lovely community and both of my children have been/are currently very happy here. Management is hands-on, all staff very approachable and helpful. They have a great gauge of reading children and noticing their tiny cues and their personalities emerging. It's a loving environment where children will blossom, giggle, learn and explore beautifully.

It's a good nursery, close to home and good staff.

My daughter absolutely loves going to nursery, she has bonded so well with all the staff who are always so friendly and helpful. They always take part in many different activities and she is so excited to tell me about her day when she gets home. My daughter's key workers always keep me informed about her progress which I couldn't be happier with. I wouldn't send my daughter to any other nursery and we will both miss Ashton Court First Steps when she starts school in September.

Ashton Court First Steps Childrens Nursery is a wonderful place, I feel happy knowing my daughter is cherished and taken care of, just like at home.

All staff are welcoming to both myself and my son. The whole nursery is nurturing and creates a homely environment for all children. My son has created close bonds and relationships with all members of staff and children throughout all age ranged classes. My son loves all the activities - especially singing and he is always bringing his experiences home to talk about.

My daughter is so confident and happy to come to the nursery. She is supported and learns how to interact appropriately with her peers. My daughter is beginning to show an interest with formal learning. Staff are supporting and encouraging my daughter's interests and helping emotional wellbeing during a period of transition.

I couldn’t be happier.

This nursery charges a very premium rate but if I was to rate them, they are very much below average. I would never recommend this nursery to anyone.

The nursery uses iConnect so I receive assessment reports, daily messages regarding meals, nappy changes and sleep. Which then frees up time for my child's Key-person/buddy to pass on WoW moments and personal achievements when I collect her each day.

Staff are very attentive and caring. My child gets bespoke care and attention. The indicators of being a great nursery is my child going to nursery happy and coming home happy and wanting to talk about it. Majority of the teachers have been there from early on in their careers and have successfully developed and continue to show great passion and enthusiasm for their vocation. You can clearly see it means something to them seeing their children grow and develop in a happy and caring environment. They work extremely hard. I just hope the nursery staff and management are looked after just the same, as I have been to many nurseries and you don't get the quality of care as you do here. To add, it's clean and vibrant and hygiene is of high standards. A testament to them, it's not used as a drop of centre, parents and staff do interact well with one another. I would definitely recommend.

We have always been really happy with the care at Ashton Court First Steps. Both of our daughters have been incredibly happy here and the staff have always been caring and excellent care providers offering support for any issues that might arise.

There are great teachers and your child will learn a lot from them and they are caring teachers and friendly students.
