Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-School, Newbiggin

Thank you so much to all the staff involved in teaching her and taking care of her.

My son is currently attending the preschool and has been at this nursery since he was 7 months old. He has come on so much and is reaching all his targets and more. I cannot thank all the staff for helping him achieve all he has and getting him ready for school. He has made friends for life here and loves it. My eldest son also attended here from being a baby until leaving for reception. He also came on leaps and bounds. Amazing nursery and staff.

The staff go way and beyond their child care services. I am very happy with my daughter's progress since starting the nursery. She loves all the staff members and loves going to co-operative childcare Newbiggin Hall. I will be sad when it's time for her to start big school - keep up the fab work ladies xx

It took a while for my child to settle in at nursery, but now has a great bond with the key worker and is happy to be left, the key worker is really lovely, my child enjoys the time at nursery and the activities they do, my child's development is definitely progressing faster since joking the nursery, I have already recommended the nursery to an in law and their child will be starting here too.

2) Once I had terrible situation when I came to nursery in unexpected time and saw my son topless outside the nursery in a cold day because the alarm test and he had a fever so they didn't cover his chest to take him out which caused his lung infection and asthma for 3 days.

My little boy has been at this nursery since he was 9 months old. The staff are great with him. He has come on loads since starting pre school. My little girl will be starting at this nursery in December. I couldn't recommend this nursery enough.

This is a fab nursery, I cannot thank everyone enough with the care and support they have given to both me and my child. She looks forward to coming to nursery which is so nice as a parent so see. This is largely to do with the staff and the environment. My child has come on loads, all of her social and educational skills have come on leaps and bounds. The care is personalized, my child was a very fussy eater and staff have spent time with her to encourage her to try new foods. I cannot recommend this nursery enough.

My child had a great time at nursery and learnt a lot in his time there. He was always welcome and was given all of the help and support that he needed.

Absolutely loved this nursery, he's come on loads since been at nursery. Staff so friendly and wonderful with all the children and look after them as if they are their own! Highly recommend this nursery!

I have had all of my children in The Co-operative Childcare Newbiggin over a 6 year period and I have never had reason to complain. The facilities are great and the children from baby to pre-school get to take part in activities they wouldn't get in all nurseries. The girls/carers have all been very attentive with all my children and open to any suggestions during parents evening.

The co-operative nursery has helped develop my son so much. I can't thank the staff enough. He is a confident little boy who is very sociable and loves meeting new people. All the staff have gone above and beyond to help my child with his toilet training. It's great how they got him involved in tasks and making rewards charts. I've received so much support and advise from the staff which has helped me with him at home.

Very informative, great photos and recording enables us to keep a good track of my son's development.

It's great that one teacher does one to one with you when you pick your child up, the whole team have been an amazing support network not only for my two children, but also myself. The Co-op team have given my children a fantastic start to education.

I was first recommended the nursery for my middle child. He was 2 years old, non verbal and i was struggling. The nursery straight away assigned him a knowledgeable and understanding key worker. The nursery worked closely with speech and language and went above and beyond for my son, teaching him sign language which helped him progress to verbal communicating. My son attended school for 2 years and they ensured he was prepared for school. I now have my youngest child attending. My youngest is very shy and has a few medical concerns, allergies, eczema and asthma. I love that i do not have to worry when i take him as he is well looked after and they cater to his allergies, preparing all food appropriately. I could not recommend this nursery more.

I have only ever experienced good practice from the nursery and the staff, It has been a relief knowing both children are in the best care I have found, the children all seem settled within the setting and with key person.
