Your Co-op Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school Dewsbury and their children love playing outside in their science garden, complete with a bug house, compost bins and space for growing plants and veg (don't worry, they'll clean them up before it's time for home!).

They are big on safety which is why ALL their staff are paediatric first aid trained. They also have 5 Little Pioneers who help share their core values with children, such as encouraging them to express their feelings and making a difference in the world.

They hold the Green Flag Status Award (the highest possible) in the prestigious Green Flag Eco-schools programme which is an internationally recognised award where children lead the way in making a difference to the environment.

Their ParentZone app keeps mums and dads informed about life at nursery and includes photos from their day, assessments, meals eaten and even toilet training progress!

They have three bright and spacious rooms; one room for younger children up to two-years-old, one room for two to three-year-olds and a final room for more active three to five-year-olds. All rooms have direct access to the outdoors allowing children to freely move between their rooms and the garden whenever they wish.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Absolutely love the nursery and staff. My son has really thrived in his time here. The staff are welcoming and very friendly. As a first-time mum it was hard to leave him but as soon as he started I knew he would be taken care of amazingly. I would recommend the nursery 100%.

My Son loves going to nursery, he has learnt how to use his knife and fork at nursery. He sings 'Wind the Bobbin Up' when we pull into nursery and gets excited. The staff at the nursery are brilliant with him, I see him wanting to cuddle the staff when he is leaving just like he does with his family.
It is very reassuring.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son is now in his last month of Preschool at The Co-operative Nursery after over 3 years there.


I currently work in education and I can agree completely with the Outstanding grading but outstanding every day. The staff are superb and a special mention to my son's key worker, who is brilliant.

He has come on leaps and bounds with his learning and is now ready for primary school. The staff are superb and I will certainly be sending my next child there and recommending it to my family and friends.


Thank you for The Co-operative and the brilliant staff.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I can not recommend this nursery highly enough. My little boy has been going here for 3 years since he was 9 months old, and I knew from the initial visits and settling in days that this was the nursery for us. The staff are all very welcoming, friendly, approachable and professional and the play spaces/rooms
are all bright and colourful and well equipped for play and learning. Even from day one, there have never been any concerns with leaving our little boy there as we know he will be well looked after and have his needs met. Communication between the nursery and parents is excellent - always a quick bit of feedback at pick up time to say how the day went plus regular parents evenings to go over progress and a chance to see their files. My son loves going and has progressed well with his learning over the 3 years. He has a good relationship with his key worker and I know we will all be sad when it comes to leaving for school in September.

The teachers are very positive and teach the children good manners. They help in all activities, feeding, changing nappies and potty training and much more. It’s a safe and secure environment.

Review from N B (Mother of Child) published on 8 February 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Superb communication and support from staff. I have especially enjoyed the advice provided to help me help my 3 and a half year old at home. My 5-month daughter will also start soon and the registration etc has been stress-free, quick and very reassuring. We have been blessed with this nursery and I
would recommend to any new parent.


As a way of improving support, I would ask for a more coordinated approach to homework for pre-schoolers. It is provided, but a more structured programme to support activities taking place at nursery would be very helpful. I appreciate the children are young and it is better not to place pressure on them to complete but my daughter enjoys the activities and looks forward to presenting her homework. The weeks we have submitted homework, the nursery has been very supportive and complimentary and I know this really helps develop my daughter further. We thank the nursery for these opportunities.

The service and care that our son receives is excellent and we are very happy.
The staff always have innovative ideas, learning and development activities that can be tried at home and at nursery.
Our son's development has moved forward so much with the support of the Dewsbury team.

I would like to thank my daughter's key person and the butterfly room for giving my daughter more confidence, for example, helping her on the obstacle course outside.
My daughter loves the nursery and tells me her key carer is her best friend.
Thank you for caring for my daughter and helping her
to be the bright, confident child she is today.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was naturally very anxious looking for nursery provision for my little boy. After all, I was making the all important decision of moving him from the daytime comfort of grandma's house to the hands of an external care provider. They say first impressions count. I instantly knew on our first visit
that The Co-operative Childcare Dewsbury Moor was the one or us! It was clean, warm and welcoming. The atmosphere felt happy, calm and safe. The building is neat and smart and all rooms were well organised. The toys, equipment and furniture were all good quality and good condition. All members of staff are always pleasant, professional and caring. There appears to be a good staff to children ratio. Overall I'm impressed with this nursery.

My son attends the nursery and he absolutely loves every minute of it ... he has a really close bond with his key worker which I think has really helped with his moving from the baby room and up. His speech has developed a lot since starting at the nursery and they provide so many activities for him
to try and do and when I pick him up they inform me straight away of all the things he's done and it makes me so proud.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.699)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.699) out of 10 for Your Co-op Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school Dewsbury is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.699 for Your Co-op Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school Dewsbury is calculated as follows: ( (135 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (6 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.699
  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 Your Co-op Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school Dewsbury is based on 12 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 49 number of registered child places is 9.8, which has been reached with 12 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.
