  • Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school, Leamington, Leamington Spa
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.

Review from Sarah L (Mother of Child) published on 14 August 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Fantastic bunch of caring and loving staff helping our little girl flourish since she joined the nursery when she was 1.5 years old. Over the last two years, she has grown into a bubbly and confident girl with amazing knowledge and language.
We are very sad that she left preschool this week owing
to her next chapter as it's time for her to move on. She's already missing all the preschool staff deputy. The new manager has been really helpful and has adopted an 'open door' policy should anyone have any concerns. Special thanks go to everyone from all of us.

The Co-operative Nursery is so much more than just a nursery. This is not just because of the fantastic facilities and the home from home environment - although this helps - but because of the caring, dedicated and enthusiastic staff member who absolutely always go the extra mile to ensure our child
is happy, settled and well looked after. The nursery has never let us down and we always leave at the end of the working day smiling.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter loves coming to nursery. She regularly talks about her friends, key person and other staff in the Ladybirds room.
The staff always greet her well in the mornings, she is also very happy and confident when left at nursery.

Review from Samantha (Mother of Child) published on 10 February 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am no expert in childcare, but I know what makes me and my son happy. He had to have pyshiotherapy when he was born, and I was worried this was a sign that he would always be a bit behind with his development and learning. The nursery have shown me I have nothing to worry about, and they are teaching
him so much, it's amazing how they think of everything to cover all the subjects and topics. I genuinely feel that the staff care for my son and make him feel loved and happy, and I have loved both sets of staff that he's been with in butterflies group and currently the ladybird group.

It's so difficult to know you have made the right decision to return to work and equally as difficult to know when you have made the right choice in childcare!
My son started at The Co-operative Childcare Leamington Grove Nursery in October 2016, he was 10 months old. In this time, he has developed
so much and enjoys his time at nursery. The staff are fantastic and I could not thank them enough for all they do for my son! He is always kept mentally and physically stimulated, he is well fed and actively seeks reassurance when he needs it from his key workers. Next week will be his last week due to my maternity leave starting, but he will certainly return along with his baby sister in the future!

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.632)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.632) out of 10 for Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school, Leamington is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.632 for Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school, Leamington is calculated as follows: ( (223 Excellents x 5) + (64 Goods x 4) + (20 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 310 Ratings = 4.632
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school, Leamington is based on 25 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 117 number of registered child places is 23.4, which has been reached with 25 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
