Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school, Hetton

She is going to miss everybody so much!

All staff go above and beyond to make the environment feel warm, secure, loving and a wonderful place to be for all of the children to flourish in their development. My daughter has attended this nursery for a while now and makes the most of her time when there, she is always provided with outstanding activities pushing her development to her full potential to always learn something new. She has also made some lovely friendships with her peers which, is always lovely to see as well as hear her talk about them and her day what she has done too with them. She has also made lovely strong relationships with the girls within her set room and feels comfortable and secure to approach them for help when she acquires this. Korrine the manager is lovely too she always goes above and beyond for the children, her staff and the parents too and always wants the nursery to be the best living up to its outstanding rating which it certainly does. Thank you so much everyone!

Outstanding nursery - I cannot speak highly enough of it. I am so incredibly grateful for the care and support my little girl has received. She has come on amazingly since starting here, both in confidence and development.

The staff are fantastic and always so approachable, which makes such a difference as a parent. My little girl absolutely loves coming here, which says it all. She is currently in the Little Creators 1 room and the staff there are a real credit to the nursery. I recommend this nursery to everyone!

We've had such a wonderful experience at Little Pioneers. The staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and my daughter has thrived under their care. A special thank you to all in Little Creators, especially Bev and Grace, who have looked after her so closely - their kindness and attention have made all the difference.

All 3 of my children have been through this nursery (with 1 still there). I have zero bad words to say about them, the girls are incredible and so amazing at what they do. My youngest settled so quickly when she started, huge thanks to Amy for being so amazing with her! And my older 2 who have just moved over to school, still absolutely love this place! It brings them so much joy to do the drop offs with me on the morning, to see all the amazing staff who still treat them like family. Shout out to Emily for being so awesome when they're shouting through the window to her, to get her attention! And to Korinne who still supplies them with sneaky sweet treats when they invade her office haha! And Steph too, who has had such a significant and massive impact on our family, something we could never thank her enough for! All of the girls who work here (not just those I've mentioned), are nothing short of amazing, and we'd recommend this nursery to everyone!

Fantastic nursery. My son loves his days in and that's mostly down to the amazing staff who have brought him on so much since he started attending. We look forward to getting the updates whenever he's there because he's always having such a good time.

Fabulous nursery, my son loves it! Staff are very friendly and always provide updates on your child's day both verbally and on the App. Good variety of meals on the menu. I would recommend this nursery.

Staff are friendly and approachable and do their best for the children within the nursery offering a range of experiences and learning opportunities. Kept up to date with development and learning adapted for children's interest.

My twins attend this nursery & they've came on so much since they started. The staff are so patient and caring with them and ensure they always feel comfortable. They always have such fantastic activities for them to do & also have a great outdoor space. The nursery is clean & the management are so helpful.

All the colleagues go above and beyond and offer an amazing provision. My little girl loves attending here and has made lots of lovely friendships. She has made wonderful bonds with the colleagues in her room.

My grandchildren started this nursery in June and October of 2024. They've come on tremendously since joining. The staff are amazing and I can see how much my grandchildren love coming here. They've both made friends with both children and staff. It's definitely one of the best decisions my daughter and son in law have made - sending the children here. Highly recommend!

Our grandson has complex needs and they go the extra mile for him can honestly say in the past year they've realy brought him on you can see the changes in him they're so friendly and keep you informed in everything they do with him well done great place

We've had my daughter in this nursery from the age of 1 and she will be here until she is 4. From day one we were reassured that our daughter was well looked after and having fun with constant updates on the app. She has absolutely thrived and developed so much in the 3 years she has been here. We could not recommend the this nursery enough.

Both of our children have attended the Little Pioneers in Hetton, our little boy since June and then our little girl since September/October and it's the best decision we've ever made for our children. They've come on so much since they started, our little boy comes out with words he can only have learnt at nursery and our little girl is a bubbly, talkative little girl. They've helped to encourage our children to try new things (including food, our son is fussy with food yet he's trying everything here!) and supported them giving them all the tools they could need to help them progress. I can't recommend this nursery enough. We looked at a childminder and opted for here instead and wow; we are so glad we did!! The staff are amazing and you couldn't ask for better staff, the whole nursery team are fantastic! Thank you Hetton Little Pioneers.

My daughter has attended this nursery since she was 9 months old and I wouldn't have her anywhere else! It's a fantastic nursery and my daughter has developed amazingly in this environment. The staff are amazing at recognising a child's strengths and where they aren't so comfortable/confident. The staff work with them to develop those areas where they are less confident and work at their pace and comfort level. What a brilliant nursery!

Friendly staff and very stimulating environment. The app is great for daily updates. My little boy settled here straight away and made bonds with the staff very quickly after starting this nursery.

Wonderful nursery, compared to other nurseries we viewed this one seemed the most welcoming and engaging for little ones and were so glad we sent our son here as he absolutely loves it! Staff are so friendly and accommodating too!

My daughter has come on leaps and bounds since attending here. Staff are so attentive and supportive with the additional needs she requires. My child absolutely loves attending and has a special bond with the majority of staff.

The menu is great and has really broadened her palette!

My child has been attending the nursery for 15 months now. The staff are amazing and supportive towards my child and myself. My child has come on leaps and bounds whilst at the nursery and I can't wait to see how much more she learns throughout her time there. Additionally, the staff have been incredibly accommodating when it has come to needing to change days and times of sessions. They have also been great with allergies.
