At Little Pioneers Leamington their children's voices matter and that's why they focus on making sure that each child's key person can provide all of the support and advice that they need.
Their nursery team are big on safety which is why ALL their staff are paediatric first aid trained. They have 5 Little Pioneers who help to share their core values with children such as encouraging them to be independent to making a difference in the world.
They are big on happy children and so they have areas for growing food (and eating it), regular visits to local care homes and take care of each other and the world. They are silver eco schools accredited, a programme that sees children lead the way in making little changes that deliver big environmental differences.
They have a ParentZone app which keeps mums and dads informed about life at nursery with photos from their day, assessments, meals eaten and even toilet training progress.
The interior is split into three separate age groups; babies, teenies, and toddlers, with the addition of a soft play area and a sensory room, as well as a range of outdoor toys in the garden and a large wooden play structure that makes for fun physical play. They also have a pet rabbit, Spencer, who roams around whilst they children stroke him and clean out his hutch.

About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- Working parents of children aged 9 months to 2 years can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery stretches funded hours across 52 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 52 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 21.9 hours are covered each week. Hours beyond this, including the early and late parts of the day, are charged at the standard rate.
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

My son has been attending nursery since he was 8 months old. He's got a great relationship with all staff and is always keen to go to nursery. Since he's started, he's done lovely activities every week based on his interests. Feedback is always positive and staff are friendly.

The team in Adventurers have become like family to us and they have taken such great care of our child and taken time to get to know us, likewise, we got to know them and although I feel excited my son is developing and moving forward, I am also very sad to say goodbye to his team in adventurers.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery and its wonderful team. From the nursery practitioners to the management and chef.
Our experience with Little Pioneers has been nothing short of brilliant. Our son thrives in this nursery, the staff and the activities are amazing and his development has come on so well since joining! We couldn't be happier.

The communication is so thorough and the monthly updates help me to know they are supporting my daughter's individual needs and growth.
The staff truly seem to care for the children's well-being and the affection the children have for them says it all for me.

WiFi on the facilities has been down or on/off for the last few months and in the new room she is in now there is no proper handover to know how our little one has been doing, eating, sleeping or any issues she may have encountered during her day at nursery. We need to be pretty much interrogating the carer to have any updates.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Unfortunately, we are currently experiencing ongoing issues with our WIFI and are therefore struggling to post updates on Parentzone. Our IT department is working hard to resolve this, and we hope to be up and running again soon.
The staff are very conscientious and communicative and my child likes to attend this nursery. I have no concerns at all regarding her welfare or learning. Well done to all the staff! The only possible critique of mine would be that the decor is looking a bit tired and the whole nursery could do...

The only possible critique of mine would be that the decor is looking a bit tired and the whole nursery could do with a repaint and refresh.

Our son attends this Nursery and thoroughly enjoys himself on a daily basis, joining in with most activities throughout the day that gets planned for specific development. Our child’s development is often discussed with us and our child’s key person, along with having observations and home learning activities set, this helps the understanding of how our child’s development is growing. All staff are amazing, and can’t be faulted. Staff will always be friendly and approachable and help with any concerns/ worries about our child, they make us feel like part of the Little Pioneers family! The team are amazing!! We would recommend this nursery to all friends and family.

He enjoys the garden and the two rooms offer variety to his day he's not stuck in one room all day. Staff are friendly and get nice feedback at the end of the day.
We love this nursery. It's a wonderful place filled with a dedicated, and professional team providing exactly what we need for our child - a warm and caring environment fostering play and friendships as well as learning.

It's a great nursery, lovely staff and our child is always happy there. There's always room for improvement though. Sometimes it takes a while for the app to be updated or has things missing, but they're generally quite good catching up when they have the time or when we raise it with the staff....
It's a great nursery, lovely staff and our child is always happy there. There's always room for improvement though. Sometimes it takes a while for the app to be updated or has things missing, but they're generally quite good catching up when they have the time or when we raise it with the staff. It's more expensive than the competitors, and that's something I've already raised in one of the surveys. They're not flexible when swapping days in the week, even if they have availability, which is a shame, as we'd have to pay an extra day if our working days change.
We were happy when our daughter was in 1-2 and 2-3 years rooms although we had to constantly remind staff to update the app with relevant information. We also found that the handover can be frustrating as staff sometimes don't know if a child had their food, what they had and have they pooed etc....
Pre-school is overcrowded with a huge age gap which isn't accommodating for early pre-schoolers. Junior preschool or segregation to help younger preschoolers is necessary but the management doesn't seem to reflect on this. Safety concerns as anyone can let themselves in behind another parent and the door to preschool is unlocked. Happy to discuss further on a call.
Always feel like the nursery staff know my child on a personal level (despite there being so many of them) and are engaged with my child’s development.

Always feel like the nursery staff know my child on a personal level (despite there being so many of them) and are engaged with my child’s development.
I personally really like the app; there are lots of frequent updates of activities and meals and plenty of pictures and videos of the kid's day.
Recommend this nursery to everyone as I could rate this the best in Leamington.

Outstanding nursery, my daughter has been attending since she was 6 months and she is now ready to start school in September. The facilities in the nursery are excellent and they have a good amount of outdoor space and a soft play area. The staff know us really well and have been fantastic with helping my daughter learn and grow in confidence. I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough.
We have sent both of our children to Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school from when they were babies and they have been brilliant all the way through. All the staff are caring and our children love them and are very happy there.

Superb nursery. The staff are fun and caring and really seem to have our children in their best interest. They are patient and interested in learning about anything from home that might positively or negatively impact our son - always willing to help. Each day my son is entertained and learns through different activities whether that be arts, crafts, water, sand or soil play, books etc. If the weather stops them from being able to go outside, they can expel energy in their big soft playroom, giving another change in location for my son to explore. He comes home each day tired but happy!
