Review from K R (Mother of Child) published on 21 January 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My child has been at the nursery since he was 4 months old. He is just two and moving rooms to little creators.
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.

Overall Experience
My daughter has been coming to this nursery since the summer of 2021 and we absolutely love it. She is now in Preschool and the relationships we have developed with the staff are so lovely. I would highly recommend this nursery!
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.

Review from A C (Father of Child) published on 8 April 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Quality has decreased since our little one was moved to a new room, we don't feel she is getting the kind of attention she would need at this moment in time.

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.

Reply from Nicky Mawby, Nursery Manager at Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school, Leamington

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.

Overall Experience

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 with a repaint and refresh.

Review from S J (Father of Child) published on 21 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

My son loves coming to nursery. Although he attends once a week he still turns up happy and keen to go in. He does lovely activities based on what he loves and that's really important to me. 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.

Review from Patricia D (Mother of Child) published on 5 February 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review from Susheel J (Father of Child) published on 4 May 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
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. 2-3 years upstairs handover space is too small and unsafe as we nearly got knocked out a few times. Too many parents at once in a small area forces us to rush out without a proper handover. Improvement is necessary and parents need to have a larger space for professional handovers with relevant information handy from the staff.

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.

Review from Stephen O (Father of Child) published on 11 April 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Really great nursery with lovely staff that always have a smile when we pick them up, even after they’ve been chasing children all day long.
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.

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.

Overall Experience

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!

Little Pioneers Nursery Leamington Spa is a lovely nursery. All staff are happy to help and are willing to go the extra mile were possible. They have a good menu for the children and cater well for children with dietary needs. My son loves going to nursery and has a great time when he is there.

Overall Experience

I have been so impressed with this nursery since my children started here. My eldest has been here almost three years and each class he’s been in has been excellent. They’re particularly patient with the transition between classes and really helped him with his anxiety around moving.

Every member of staff is so caring and dedicated. I really couldn’t have chosen a better place to trust with the care of my children.
