Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-School, Rathvilly (Northfield)

But what truly makes this nursery shine is the manager - she is the heart and soul of the setting. As the manager, she knows every child by name, always welcomes families with a warm smile, and creates a truly nurturing atmosphere. My son absolutely adores her! I've recommended this nursery to many of my friends, and now that I'm expecting my second child, there's no doubt in my mind - we'll be coming back here again without hesitation.

I have two children currently at this nursery and couldn't be happier with the care and attention they receive. My older child started later than average at this nursery due to moving house and had been referred to speech and language due to late speech. Since starting here his speech has come on leaps and bounds. He really looks forward to his nursery days and who can ask for more really? The staff are kind and patient and develop real connections with the children and the entire staff create a real family environment.

The new app is very good too, easy to use and we get a lot of updates of what they are up to.

My child really enjoys his time at the nursery. He's well cared for and the teachers do a fantastic job of keeping him engaged in various fun as well as learning activities. The nursery is very well managed and secure and we are kept informed and updated on various things via the app.

I honestly can't thank the nursery staff and management enough for how great they are with my son. He has come on leaps and bounds since starting Rathvilly, especially with his talking. He has a lot more confidence and he's made lots of friends. I never have to worry if he's safe and I know he's always taken care of and well looked after whilst he's there. The range of activities and learning are amazing, he's always doing something new. Thank you to all of the team at Rathvilly!

Overall we've had a really positive experience with Rathvilly Nursery. All the staff have been friendly, lovely and have always gone the extra mile to make our child feel comfortable and happy. Our child was shy, sensitive and our concern was that the nursery was too big for her but she is absolutely thriving and loves going in. She often asks to go which is such a relief as a parent to know she enjoys her time there. All the staff in the baby room and little creators have spent time getting to know our childs personality and meeting all her needs. I recommend this nursery to all our friends. So happy we picked Rathvilly. Wendy has done a great job and staff seem happy and enthusiastic to be there! Thanks to all the staff you make such a difference!

The children spend time indoors and outdoors, which they love... especially exploring outdoors and playing in the sand and castle gardens. The manager and the team's hard work has definitely done wonders for our little ones.

My daughter enjoys her nursery family in Rathvilly. She developed her confidence and became comfortable socializing with others. The teachers gives their best support to my daughter and for that I am greatful.

All of the staff around the nursery are friendly and welcoming, we receive regular feedback on the app from activities taking place each day, photographs and events going on. He spends his time engaging in various activities and there is a huge variety of resources available for all of the children. Would highly recommend Little Pioneers, Rathvilly!

Would highly recommend.

The team are so friendly and welcoming every day. They are also really understanding and have excellent communication. My child seems to really enjoy nursery, reaching out for his key worker every day we drop him off no tears. We get a great update verbal at the end of the day too.

The staff have ensured that my son has settled really well into the nursery and have made us feel very welcome. The key worker is always really welcoming to me and my family members who collect my child.

Both of my grandchildren have been full time at Rathvilly since they were babies. They are 4 and 2 1/2 respectively, now. They are settled and happy, never bored and full of interesting experiences to tell me about. The staff know them well and are genuinely interested in their well being. The boys are confident and stimulated. As a carer I couldn't have wished for a better, more supportive nursery.

Lovely nursery, my little boy is so happy to attend and loves all the staff in his room. I get excellent feedback on pick up and they are always very accommodating if things need doing differently. It's always a friendly welcome and nothing is too much.

The school feedback software supports multiple languages and provides parents with a very convenient communication environment.

My son changed nursery when we moved house he found it hard at first but the teachers and management at Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-School have helped him to settle in nicely and now he has loads of new friends. They have been a big help.

My son loves going to this nursery he is well settled. Staff members are really nice. The nursery has been recently refurbished and looks fab and clean. Nursery manager is going above and beyond to ensure everybody is happy childrens, parents and also staff members. Communication is great and I love the app they are using, keeps me up to date during the day as well as with the coming events.

This form asks me not to include specific names so I won't but as parents we have every confidence in our child's safety and development with the current nursery general manager in place as she takes every opportunity even when she's clearly busy to get to know our son and ensure he's okay. She also on numerous occasions has been involved in the classroom which is so nice to see as not many people with a "general manager" like role, will get their hands dirty with kids, usually they hide away in an office but this Individual goes above and beyond for our son and other kids and we thank her from the bottom of our hearts for her commitment to her role.

Great nursery, my son has settled in brilliantly and found his friends and peers very welcoming. He is coming on in leaps and bounds with his speech, great communication from all staff and friendly too.

My kids have attended 2 nurseries before Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-School, Rathvilly (Northfield) and by far Little Pioneers is the best. The nursery manager leads by example and is a gem of a person. What I love most is how each staff is dedicated to their work and offer a loving atmosphere to each child. What is really heartwarming is the patience and dedication towards children with special needs.
