  • Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-School Finchfield, Wolverhampton
Ofsted Rated Outstanding (March 2020).

Co-op Childcare Finchfield has a large, busy and modern nursery, complete with an outstanding team who are all committed to meeting your child's development and care needs. Your child will also love being able to take their nursery teddy bears home for the weekend to go on exciting adventures.

The nursery is Green Eco Schools accredited, a programme that sees children make little changes that deliver big environmental differences. They are big on safety which is why ALL their staff are paediatric first aid trained. They use 5 Little Pioneers to help share their core values with children, from encouraging them to be independent to expressing their feelings.

They have a ParentZone app which keeps parents updated on how their little one is getting on at nursery with photos, assessments and even toilet training progress! They have a growing area for food which they also end up eating and have regular visits to a local care home.

Their local history comes to life at Finchfield as their children regularly go on trips to the park near the nursery and visit historic buildings there.

Very happy with this place. Staff are brilliant. Myself and my partner were worried about whether our son would settle as he is very clingy, but he loves nursery and the staff have helped him develop beyond what we expected. Great job to all the staff.

Outstanding nursery. My little one enjoys going there. Staff are very kind and helpful, update about what my child is doing, what he’s eating, what activities they are doing. I would recommend to every parent. Thank you for great service.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From 2016 this nursery has become part of our family. Amazing staff especially pre-school I couldn't use anywhere else. I like the updates I get through the app which makes pick-up and drop-off fast and efficient. They do go above and beyond to make sure my children are comfortable and happy. The learning
starts from the minute the children walk in and I feel this is very beneficial for when children start school as it's already then a learned behaviour.

The nursery has managed to get rebranded, decorated, updated with minimal disruption to the children's days incorporating the workmen's activity into daily learning activities.
The staff are always helpful and very easy to approach and the daily updates on my children is comforting for me to know that
they are settled and happy.
The nursery keeps parents up to date with anything to do with outbreaks providing updates and specific guidance going that extra mile to support families.

My son loves his time at the nursery, he has been coming since he was 7 months old. He always leaves looking happy and worn out by all the excitement he has had! His walking and coordination have come on massively!
We are so happy we went with our guts and chose to bring him here - 10/10! Everyone,
all the staff from room managers to assistants to office based are so lovely and take time to speak to you if you need to. The app is a brilliant tool too and is used very effectively. Makes it easily accessible and quick to communicate in the working day. Always recommend this nursery to all my friends in the area in case they know someone looking!

Very pleased with the nursery in general. Staff are always friendly and welcoming. My child is always happy when I pick her up. The regular updates on the app are very helpful to see and monitor how she is getting on during the day. I always feel comfortable discussing any worries I have and nursery
staff are always supportive.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Firstly I would like to thank three members of staff in particular for helping my child settle into nursery, they have made him feel very welcome. Secondly, I would like to thank another two members of staff for settling him into his room and developing wonderful bonds with him. They have helped him
develop more and become more confident in himself. My child loves coming to nursery and is always asking for his keyworker. I would definitely recommend it to family and friends as we have always had a lot of positives with my child being in this nursery. All staff are friendly and positive.

The staff at this nursery are excellent, very attentive and take an interest in children's care and development. Our son's key worker also gave thorough, constructive and detailed feedback on our child's day at nursery. Our son has flourished since his time at this nursery and has grown in confidence.

Review from T L (Mother of Child) published on 19 May 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My twins have been going here for nearly a year now.
They were lockdown babies/toddlers, so we're very shy around new people and very attached to me. I was so nervous about sending them to a nursery.
The nursery has been amazing to the 3 of us, putting my mind at rest and bringing my children out
of their shells.
They are doing very well developmentally and have gained confidence during their time here.
They've recently moved down into Preschool, and the transition went smoother than I expected.
The staff in the rooms and in the office have all been very helpful and supportive with any issues we have been dealing with at home.
I couldn't recommend this nursery more, my children are happy and safe and enjoy their time here.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been attending the nursery since April 2020. He has gone from the baby room all the way through to preschool. He has come on so much and I really do believe this is due to the dedication of the outstanding staff the nursery has. They go above and beyond always. My son has always enjoyed attending
nursery so it will be sad when he moves in September to start reception but we can not thank the staff enough for the hard work and care they put in.

Review from Mandeep K (Mother of Child) published on 31 March 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter turned 2 at the beginning of March this year. After a couple of visits, we were more than happy with this being our chosen nursery. We got the classroom of our choice and the days and times we wanted to send our little girl. Today, was the 3rd day of settling her in, the whole process was
explained from the off. Everyone really made her feel welcome and I did too. Being a full-time mum, everyone was telling me to be ready for a crying baby when I have to leave, I told them, it will be me crying not my girl and I was right. Today, I was to leave her for an hour, when we got to the classroom, she let me take off her hat and went straight to the room manager and gave a cuddle, let her take her coat off, and off she went to play. Didn't even look back at me. I'm so glad she loves it, and that's because of the team and staff making her welcome. Next week she starts properly and I'm praying for the same enthusiasm from her moving forwards. Thank you again.

Review from Carol D (Aunt of Child) published on 29 March 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My experience with this nursery stems from approx 6 years. My daughter is now 8yrs old and we still attend to collect my nephews that are in pre-school. Over the years the standard of care and evidence of an excellent learning environment has excelled. I continue to recommend this nursery as I feel
that the staff thrive on providing experiences that bring out the best in every child. The importance of sharing with parents and jointly supporting the children's learning is deemed essential for their growth and I totally agree with this ethos. Our experience enabled my child's (and now my nephew's) primary learning and development to be fun and the foundations of lifelong learning. Thank you to all key workers past and present.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son really enjoys attending nursery and we have noticed a big change in his communication and development. His key worker works well with him 1:1 and really makes an effort to understand him as a person and she always tries to push him out of his comfort zone. I would highly recommend this nursery
to anyone that wants a welcoming and safe environment for their child.

My son is in the little creators room and myself and the family have noticed how much he has progressed in his new room. He's such a bright and active young boy and the activities and games carried out in the room challenge him to build his confidence, improve his speech and well being with others and
participating in group activities. The staff have been so caring and supportive with any specific needs in terms of allergies or medical conditions and it's a huge relief knowing my son is in good hands.

My son has really come along since attending Co-op Childcare Finchfield, I was nervous for my son to start nursery but I had nothing to worry about. He loves it and the ladies in the baby room are great. They were even lovely to me when I got upset at drop-off before I went to work. My son always eats
so well at nursery too and I love all of the updates I get on the app.

My child has been at this nursery since 11 months of age. Every member of staff I have encountered has been knowledgeable, friendly and professional. The staff take your child's interests and needs into account to help them develop and thrive. You are kept informed about your child's development and
any issues. The staff go above and beyond. I'm really happy with my chosen nursery.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.955)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.955) out of 10 for Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-School Finchfield is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 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 26 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 4.955 for Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-School Finchfield is calculated as follows: ( (298 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 311 Ratings = 4.955
  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 Finchfield is based on 26 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 114 number of registered child places is 22.8, which has been reached with 26 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.
