Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school, St Edwards (Selly Park)

We couldn't be happier with choosing to send our daughter to this nursery. Everyone at Little Pioneers St Edwards is so friendly and takes the time to explain everything about the way the nursery operates and how your child is settling in. It's apparent that all of the staff know and genuinely care for my child. This meant the world to us when she first started. She loves going to nursery now.

I was so nervous going back to work and leaving my 1 year old with strangers. St Edwards Little Pioneers couldn't have been better. They were on the end of the phone when I was worried, and gave regular updates on the app during those first few difficult weeks. I really appreciated it. My little girl is now absolutely loving it, I love hearing the updates about what she has been doing when I pick her up, and how busy they all seem to be all day. I love spotting things she's picked up at nursery, especially dancing and new words! The staff seem happy and unstressed when I pick her up too and good security measures at the doors to get in and out and attentive to health and dietary needs. They seem to do purposeful educational things every day. The setting is nice as it is an old infabt school so purpose built for little ones. Overall I couldn't be happier. Thank you to everyone at St Edwards for looking after and educating my little girl.

Really pleased I chose little pioneers for my 2 year old. The staff are kind, gentle and fun, my daughter loves her days there and the interaction we have with the team there is great. A warm and welcoming environment with lots of learning, play, outside exploration and celebrations. The inclusion of food/snacks and nappies makes mornings that little bit easier. As a working mom I don't need to worry about my daughter in the day and know she is having the best time with her pals.

An outstanding Nursery! Wonderful facilities and even better Staff. The staff are a credit to Little Pioneers, our little boy has come along so much and it's so lovely to see how fast his development is coming along with his recent arrival there. The girls are very welcoming and helpful with any questions you may have. They create beautiful bonds with the children and it really helps you feel comfortable and confident when leaving your little one with them after your time on maternity. The meals are beautifully catered, my little boy seems to be really enjoying mealtimes. Thank you ladies!

Brilliant staff warm and friendly my daughter really enjoyed her time at this nursery we haven't had any problems. Out daughter has had only positive experiences and happy memories whilst being there.

A big thank you to my childs second family, for helping her gain a strong base to follow being herself.

My son began here in September at 15 months and settled well within a couple of weeks, despite never being away from me previously. He is always happy to go into nursery and has good relationships with all staff, which helped when he moved to the next room recently, he took the transition really well. The app is fab for keeping parents updated and it's wonderful to see all the wonderful activities he is immersed in, both inside and outside. He enjoys all his food and took to sleeping there really well and is in a great routine. I couldn't ask for a more positive start for him and I'm really glad that I chose this setting for him.

We're moving home soon and will have to leave, as we'll be too far and I know we won't find another nursery as good. Thanks for everything you've done my son.

My daughter has attended for the last four years, and she has learnt so much and has become a very confident little girl who loves going to nursery each day. She is more than ready to go to school. The staff are brilliant.

Since the day my children arrived they have been taken care of superbly. We have been with Little Pioneers for 6 years and have never had any cause for complaint. during Covid they were kind, professional and caring. The staff who look after our children have been wonderful, each child is cared for individually and they are taught the value of friendship and each other. The teachers are simply remarkable, they love and care for the children who adore them back. Can't recommend highly enough, a lovely professional, safe and caring place.

My daughter can be shy sometimes but is very happy at nursery. She feels safe and is able to express herself.

They were so patient when we first started and our daughter struggled a little with settling in (as expected) and were keen to try lots of different ideas to get her settled. My daughter now shows us both out of the room at drop-off, keen to get on with her day. Even when there have been little issues we have found it easy to raise and resolve these. Lastly, the staff are so dedicated and genuinely passionate about getting involved with charity and community events, we honestly couldn’t ask for more. Thank you.

Our daughter had a lovely time at Little Pioneers Nursery. She is very well looked after and cared for. She has made many friends, learned a lot, and become much more confident. She has enjoyed taking part in activities at the nursery for Christmas and Mother's Day. She also likes playing in the garden and on the equipment there.

The recent, very successful Mothers' Day party in Big Learners was a fabulous event. I thoroughly enjoyed it and the staff should all be congratulated for excellent arranging and hosting. The children were also wonderful company. Many thanks for this lovely memory for me and my son.

Staff have been helpful with the transition of being a first-time mom and leaving my child. They have been nothing but patient and consistent and are extremely attentive to my child’s needs, and that’s all I could want as a mom, knowing my child is being taken care of. All staff are nurturing, passionate and patient, thank you.

The nursery and staff welcomed my daughter very dearly. She has settled well now and is loved by all the staff. During her admission to the nursery, staff in the admission team helped her on boarding faster and smoother. Very informative during the first day and very professionally handled.

My daughter loves Little Pioneers. She has been attending since she was in the baby room and now is now in pre-school - she is bonded with all staff. There is a broad range of activities inside and outside, as well as great opportunities for parents to get involved.

My daughter has been here for 3 and a half years, from 10 months old right up until starting school. There has never been a day she hasn't wanted to go in or a day she has come home unhappy. She's made great friends and has always been cared for, stimulated and fed well. Even when there have been niggly issues, we've always been able to raise them easily with the staff, and things have been resolved. It's a lovely setting that I would recommend.

Would highly recommend Little Pioneers to anyone looking for a wonderful, caring nursery environment.

Staff are really caring and make every day for our child a really great experience. They've been very accompanying for our child's allergy requirements too, which we were a bit worried about initially. Can't fault them at all.
