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.

He loves the staff and the children. He has always been confident but we’ve noticed further development within a matter of weeks.
There’s a great range of food for the children and we get to check this on the website (although it should be updated more regularly in the day).
Clean nursery inside and you can tell it’s looked after and has new equipment.
Thanks for making going back to work easier and my little man is loving his time there!

We are offered opportunities to get involved with providing feedback on how things are run and invited to parent meetings to discuss with others.
Over the last year, we have felt confident that our child is happy and cared for on a daily basis, with individual needs catered for. Development activities are provided to help them grow and act independently.
I would recommend to everyone.
The staff are always so good with my child even when he struggled to settle in. They were very patient with him and reassuring to myself.

It’s great having the ParentZone app as I can see what she’s done during the day and can also see photos of activities she’s been doing.
I can’t thank the nursery enough for going above and beyond to ensure she’s happy and taken care of.

All staff apart from one, are friendly and approachable and I feel like my children enjoy their company and feel safe with them. I have a few issues with one staff member who I feel is rude and judgemental. But this staff member's behaviour is not enough to put me off keeping my children at the nursery because it is, on the whole, a loving and educational place for my children to be cared for.
The staff are very good and our child is very happy there.

The staff are very good and our child is very happy there. The only thing I would note the nursery down is billing - The process is still prone to human error which has led, at times, to having to query the amount we have been billed. Most parents with children at nursery will agree that times are probably tight and receiving a bigger bill than expected can be stressful.
My daughter has been attending Little Pioneers full time since she was 8 months old and will leave for school in September this year. The nursery staff are amazing - nurturing but also instrumental in getting her ready for school. Often she comes out with things I know can only have been taught...
My daughter has been attending Little Pioneers full time since she was 8 months old and will leave for school in September this year. The nursery staff are amazing - nurturing but also instrumental in getting her ready for school. Often she comes out with things I know can only have been taught through nursery, the planets, science stuff, writing her name, even getting her coat on herself, doing up zips etc. The nursery staff are also always on hand to tell you what to do at home to help development. The food is great, varied and they also teach the children about healthy eating alongside manners. The garden is a bit small but they recently had it done and there is all you need including an allotment type bit and a rabbit! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the nursery to anyone, total peace of mind that my daughter is well looked after and most importantly happy and having way more fun than we could provide at home 5 days a week!

My daughter has been at the nursery for nearly 4 years, overall I am happy with the nursery, the staff, the care provided and learning opportunities. Communication is good and my daughter has loved her time at the nursery. There has been quite a lot of staffing changes during my daughter's time at the nursery but that is understandable and expected. I think updates on staffing changes could happen quicker than they do.
From working in the childcare sector myself I know the importance of finding the right nursery for my child.

From working in the childcare sector myself I know the importance of finding the right nursery for my child. It’s just had a lovely feel about it, I could see the children engaged and happy and having fun with the staff. Now my son attends here, I love having the regular updates on the app to see what he is doing that day, he always eats and sleeps so well too! I get the feeling the staff genuinely care and love my son and he always comes home happy and with a new skill he has learnt. Would highly recommend if you want a nursery that you can feel the love and commitment throughout.
Great environment and caring and friendly staff. Time is always taken to talk through my child's day.

A really good nursery with great activities, facilities and staff. Both my girls went here. Their system prepped my eldest really well for Primary School. The kids are all always kept busy. They always seem to be having fun. Communication regarding my kids is good too.

The staff and management have always been extremely helpful and friendly. Our daughter has really enjoyed her 3 years at the nursery. Preschool especially is well organised and forward thinking. During her time there our daughter has grown up so much and is now so aware of the world around her.
Staff are friendly, helpful and seem to genuinely care for the children. My little boy seems to have formed a bond with key staff which is lovely to see - I couldn't leave him somewhere he wasn't happy!

I like talking to staff and hearing all about what he's been up to when I collect him after work - its good that they take time to do this even though it is clearly a busy time of day for them. Also, the new app is great for seeing what's happening during the day - its especially nice when photos are uploaded showing them doing activities.
So thrilled so far with the care and friendship provided by the nursery. Our little girl seems to have enjoyed her days so much so that she is exhausted from the fun. It's fantastic to be updated using the ParentZone app, especially with photos and development updates, reassuring you during the day...

My child loves going to Nursery and hands over to any member of the team with ease. He has come on in leaps and bounds since starting last year and we cannot recommend the nursery high enough!

Let's put it this way - today when I picked up my lightly paint-splattered child from nursery, he was engrossed in playing, but when he noticed me, ran over and hugged me, then he ran back to his key person and hugged them.

Let's put it this way - today when I picked up my lightly paint-splattered child from nursery, he was engrossed in playing, but when he noticed me, ran over and hugged me, then he ran back to his key person and hugged them. This is basically everything I want from his nursery education. Activities, socialisation, and adults with whom he feels happy and secure.
We are very happy with the nursery - my eldest child (who is now 6) went to the nursery from 8 months old and our youngest who leaves to go to school in September, has been in since he was 6 months old. Both children have been extremely happy there - happy children mean happy parents!
