  • Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-School, Newburn, Newcastle upon Tyne
Co-op Childcare Newburn Nursery is a purpose-built nursery that has been designed to a high standard taking the needs of the children into account. There are three main rooms within the nursery split into the following age groups: six weeks to 18 months, 18 months - two-years-old and two to five-year-olds.

They are big on safety which is why ALL their staff are paediatric first aid trained. They have 5 Little Pioneers who help share their core values to children from encouraging them to be independent to expressing their feelings.

They are big on happy children and they have areas for growing food (and eating it), regular visits to local care homes and a focus on taking care of each other and the world. They hold the Green Flag Status Award, an internationally recognised award in a programme that sees children lead the world in making little changes that deliver big environmental differences.

They have a ParentZone app which keeps parents/carers informed about life at nursery from photos of their day, assessments, meals eaten and even toilet training progress!

Co-op Childcare Newburn have a sensory room which is a beautiful indoor garden that includes forest music and sensory materials that your child can use as tools for imaginative play.

My grandson attends and is always happy to stay and always happy on exit. My grandson has been there for a few years and now that he is getting ready to start school, I think he will miss this place. He can hold a conversation and argue logically.

Lovely friendly staff who are always happy to help. My niece often comes home and talks about how much fun she has had and what she is going to do the next day.
She loves her reading books and really enjoys doing her homework. I sometimes collect from nursery and she doesn't want to come home.

My little boy has attended this nursery since being 8 months and he loves it. He is now in preschool where the care and education is great, his learning is extending week on week and the activities he talks about arranging, great. The nursery is very welcoming, clean and inviting. The staff are lovely
and all children are very happy. I would definitely recommend this nursery and will be sorry to say goodbye when my child has to leave for school.

My grandson has been coming to the nursery for just over a year. During this year he has come on brilliantly. The facilities are excellent especially the outdoor area he loves playing out and the outdoor space they have is amazing. All the staff are so helpful and caring and feedback after the day
is great. My daughter definitely made a good choice choosing this nursery and I highly recommend it.

Can't recommend this nursery enough. All 3 of my children have attended this nursery. All the staff are so friendly and helpful and they make my son's time there so enjoyable. I have seen first hand how the nursery has developed over the years and they definitely deserve to be acknowledged.

As an Uncle of a child who attends the nursery, I can honestly say what a fantastic place it is. From the lovely warm welcome you get from all of the staff and seeing the children flourish under their care is great. The day to day activities and the extras like weekend fayres etc is awesome! My nephew
absolutely loves the place and I would highly recommend the nursery to anyone.

I would totally recommend this nursery. All staff do their very best to make parents feel at ease when leaving your child. They facilitate stay and play days free of charge also induction days. This really helps as you are able to watch your child around the carers and you get a real feel of the structure
of their day. All the girls ensure you are informed straight away if your child is poorly/hurt. The girls look after the children as if they are their own. This is great.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.658)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.658) out of 10 for Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-School, Newburn is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 17 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 4.946 for Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-School, Newburn is calculated as follows: ( (193 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 204 Ratings = 4.946
  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 4.712 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-School, Newburn is based on 17 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.925
    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 108 number of registered child places is 21.6. 17 Positive Reviews ÷ 21.6 = 0.787
  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.
