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.

My son has been attending First Steps Children's Nursery for about six months. Prior to this, he had never been cared for by anyone other than his parents. He has settled in well and now loves his time at nursery. The staff are like my son's family away from home and are clearly very close to each other and all love their work. I can't recommend the nursery highly enough, they do so much more than I have time to do at home and my son's development has come on significantly since starting nursery. Also, the nursery chef deserves a special mention! My son is very fond of her and the lovely meals she makes!
My child has been attending First Steps Children's Nursery for 5 months and I am so thrilled with how well she is looked after. The staff are all so friendly, caring, competent and enthusiastic. It is always a pleasure speaking and dealing with them.

The facilities at the nursery are fantastic (outdoor playground, hall, sensory room, outdoor classroom) and the children are kept very well occupied whether it is sunny and warm or wet and cold. The children do a range of fun activities and they all seem very happy and content.
The staff are fantastic, very professional and have a great relationship with my little boy of 22months. I couldn't ask any more from them. I feel very confident my little boy is getting the best care when he is there. He loves the nursery and that's down to the staff and the excellent provision...

My son started nursery just after his 2nd birthday. It was extremely hard for me to put him into a nursery. However, putting my child in First Steps Nursery is the best thing I have done for him and also for myself. His speech and behaviour has come on so well and he adores his teachers and friends. I couldn't be happier for my son to go this Nursery. The staff are lovely, genuine people and I believe they really do care about my son and it's not just a 'job' I think they have a passion for what they do.
Our daughter loves this nursery and so do we, she has come on leaps and bounds since starting in September and we couldn't be happier. They have also been amazing with her dietary requirements and all the staff are so friendly.
