At Little Pioneers St Edwards, they work together with parents to make sure that each child has the support they need by having close relationships with their parents and guardians. They have regular workshops, parents' evenings and forums.
They have 5 Little Pioneers who help share their core values with children from encouraging them to express their feelings to making a difference in the world. They have a ParentZone app which keeps parents/carers informed about life at nursery with photos from their day, assessments, meals eaten and even toilet training progress!
They are big on safety and that's why ALL their staff are paediatric first aid trained. They are silver eco schools accredited, a programme that sees children lead the way in making little changes that deliver big environmental differences.
They are also big on happy children so they have areas for growing food (and eating it), regular visits to local care homes and take care of each other and the world.
Located on the outskirts of leafy Selly Park in Birmingham, Little Pioneers St Edwards provides high quality, innovative childcare for children up to the age of five. The nursery is set in a converted Victorian school with its own Forest School nearby.

About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- Working parents of children aged 9 months to 2 years can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery stretches funded hours across 52 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 52 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 21.9 hours are covered each week. Hours beyond this, including the early and late parts of the day, are charged at the standard rate.
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

Fantastic, five-star, lovely clean nursery, my child loves learning and his speech has become so much better due to attending. He is in a routine going to nursery, a nice lovely place for my child and any other child to attend.

We were initially recommended St Edwards by three different friends who all said how great the staff were with their babies. From our first visit to look around at every drop-off and collection we know we made the right decision. Our daughter has been attending since 9 months and you can imagine how hard it is to leave your only child with strangers. Well, the team in the baby room made it that much easier. The whole team and all those that have come and gone, we can't thank you enough. You're all amazing people who have helped our baby grow into this amazing young woman and we know she wouldn't be as confident and cheeky and understand love if it wasn't for you all.
If anyone reading this is looking for a recommendation we can't stress how much, if you are in distance, you won't regret sending your child to St Edward's.

Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school, St Edwards is a fantastic Nursery I would recommend to anyone and everyone. The settling in process was made easier for my daughter (and me!) as it was well thought out by such caring staff. Nothing was too much trouble. I moved my daughter to a nursery closer to home but moved her back instantly as the alternate nursery wasn't a patch on Little Pioneers. All staff are approachable, professional and clearly love what they do. I leave my daughter there knowing she is cared for, happy and loved. The Nursery hosts several events on Saturdays so parents can attend and see their children in the setting. It is just wonderful and I will forever be grateful for the care given to my daughter.

This is a lovely nursery with professional and supportive staff who really care. Our daughter has been attending for three months and we've felt incredibly reassured by the whole process. The team are always happy to listen and help. They always take on board any feedback in a positive manner and deal with queries proactively. Our daughter has a wonderful time each day and we could see straight away how the environment and the approach to learning have aided her development. The nursery and the staff have been really good in how they've dealt with our daughter's dietary requirements, which gives a lot of reassurance as a parent. We would highly recommend this nursery!
It is just fantastic. The staff care so much and work so hard to look after the children. Our little one is making excellent progress in all areas, from social to educational.

Most importantly of all, she has fun! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend, and look forward to sending our new arrival there in a few months’ time.
The nursery is lovely and all the staff are friendly and approachable. My son has been there for 10 months and has just moved up to the second room. They made the transition from maternity leave to being back at work much easier for me as I knew he was happy whilst he wasn't with me.

The nursery is lovely and all the staff are friendly and approachable. My son has been there for 10 months and has just moved up to the second room. They made the transition from maternity leave to being back at work much easier for me as I knew he was happy whilst he wasn't with me.
He has come on leaps and bounds in all areas of development since starting there and is becoming a very confident little boy. They know exactly when to encourage him to do more and become independent.
It's also a massive bonus that everything is included in the fee, we don't have to worry about sorting nappies or sun cream etc... It makes the mornings much less stressful.

This nursery is truly amazing. They go above and beyond! The staff really do go the extra mile. Both my boys have been at this nursery, my youngest still is and there have been moments for my youngest where he’s struggled as he has additional needs, they have made sure he’s happy and got a environment that’s suits and calms him during moments where he’s upset. Couldn’t think of leaving our son with any team more support than this lot.
My son absolutely loves going to nursery and loves the staff who are caring, thoughtful and fun. The outdoor space, which my husband describes as a ‘Mediterranean garden’, is exceptional. The staff are tuned into both my son's needs and the parent's childcare needs, always looking to help wherever...

We have found Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school - St Edwards (Selly Park) and the staff in the baby room incredible. They are caring, kind, loving and supportive of our son and he loves every moment of nursery. The transition process was very streamlined and fitted our family's needs. We love seeing what our son is doing each day and how staff have helped with his development in the few months since starting. A wonderful nursery we’re very happy with!

Playground facilities are child friendly and the learning outcomes are very impressive as we are hearing new words at home.
Both of our daughters are at Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school - St Edwards (Selly Park), they have been since they were 9 months old and my oldest will be leaving to start school in September.

Both of our daughters are at Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school - St Edwards (Selly Park), they have been since they were 9 months old and my oldest will be leaving to start school in September. Little Pioneers have been brilliant with both of our girls. They both seem to enjoy their time there and the oldest speaks very fondly of the staff. My youngest has some additional health considerations and the staff and management could not have been more supportive and reassuring. The communication from the nursery as a whole has always been very good.

Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school - St Edwards (Selly Park) has been an amazing setting for my son. They are really caring and have looked after him so well. Everyone knows who he is and has such a personal response to his development and learning. I would recommend this nursery to everyone. My son has very specific allergies and the chefs have come up with exciting and delicious food for him every week, as well as giving me an ingredient list at the end of every week so we can track any new allergies.
My son started at this nursery during the lockdown and it felt very safe leaving him there. While I hadn't seen the room he was in I knew the staff and his key worker as I meet them and had a chat when dropping him off or picking him up. I could tell they had built a rapport with him as he was...
My son started at this nursery during the lockdown and it felt very safe leaving him there. While I hadn't seen the room he was in I knew the staff and his key worker as I meet them and had a chat when dropping him off or picking him up. I could tell they had built a rapport with him as he was happy to go with them after only a few days. We get photos and updates on the parents' app daily and calls as and when required. We also know that they are very creative with the different activities they do with the children and have a great range of play areas. They also spend quite a bit of time outside which I really think benefits the children hugely. The nursery itself is so secure which gives me a lot of comfort, knowing he's safe when there.
This is a fantastic nursery which my daughter always looks forward to. The staff are amazing and the food provided high quality. The facilities are clean and well organised with a lovely outside space.

Fantastic nursery with incredible staff. Both of my children attend and we couldn’t be happier with the nursery. The staff provide a variety of activities to get the children involved and accommodate to all children. They provide love and care when the children are upset and celebrate with them when they succeed. The nursery is very clean and the food is healthy and very tasty as well as providing lots of variety. Parents are kept informed and involved. Cannot recommend this nursery enough.
Great nursery, trust them with my child 100%, all members of staff are accommodating and show interest in what my child likes and dislikes. I'd recommend to anyone and wouldn't use any other nursery myself.

My little one loves going to nursery every day and comes home happily discussing what she did at nursery that day. I cannot fault the nursery and how they have dealt with the difficult twelve months we've all had.

I highly recommend Little Pioneers - the staff are caring, loving to the children and enthusiastic, children are always busy and out in the garden and the activities are well thought about and I am impressed with the detail and effort put into it. My son loves the food and playing with his friends. His teachers are very understanding and even when he's too excited and misbehaves I have always had the opportunity to talk to someone about it and to understand their point of view and efforts to play with him in smaller groups, I didn't feel my son was ever left out or labelled. I am so thankful to everyone in the preschool room for all the care and love. Thank you.

My daughter attends full time, currently in the pre-school age group. She thoroughly enjoys her time there, she speaks positively about all the staff and I have been impressed with how well they know her and her likes/interests. They have lots of opportunities to play but I have recently been really impressed by the focus on learning and getting them ready for school routines. My daughter always comes home with new facts she has learnt about the world around her, as well as showing improvement in her literacy and numeracy skills.
My daughter goes to this nursery and has for the last year. The staff are so friendly and extremely helpful. My daughter absolutely loves going into nursery and has developed in so many areas. Any questions or issues I have are always dealt with professionally. A load of hard-working dedicated...
