My Daughter loves spending time here, she only attends one day a week at the moment but she has come on leaps and bounds and she loves learning different things. The staff are so helpful and her key person is very knowledgeable and really puts my daughter's needs first.

Overall Experience

My first visit to the nursery blew me away. I wasn't intending to put my child in any earlier than him turning a year but after seeing the set up and the friendly and informative staff I was looking forward to seeing my child be a part of a wonderful nursery. I love how caring and genuine they are. My child has developed so much and I love seeing how happy he is and the support I get from the staff is something else. Always go above and beyond. Highly recommend this nursery!

Overall Experience

My son has been with this nursery for two years. The nursery staff have supported my son with achieving so much from developing his speech and also with his eating. Staff let me know each day how he is doing. I would highly recommend this nursery. Staff also developed themed areas to help settle my son into each room as he has grown from baby room up to the pre school room

Ever since starting nursery my little boy has come on amazingly. He loves coming home and telling me what he has been doing with his friends and the activities they have been doing. His key worker has also helped us when it comes to extra help and support with his speech. I absolutely admire and appreciate all of the staff.

I am very happy with the care my daughter receives at this nursery. Her development has come on massively and has learnt so much since starting here. She has made some great friendships with the other children in her class and all of the staff here are fantastic.

Review from Sarah-Louise H (Mother of Child) published on 19 July 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been attending the nursery since before he was 1, moved into the preschool last year, and is now due to graduate and go to primary school. We have absolutely loved our time at Hetton House / Little Pioneers!

As a parent bringing our first and only child to the nursery was a scary prospect, leaving him in the care of strangers, but the staff at the nursery quickly eased our fears, and we felt comfortable with them right away.

The nursery and preschool are structured really well with the age brackets, and the staff come up with some fantastic learning play activities. As a parent, I have always felt heard and my feelings respected. It is clear that every member of staff cares deeply for the children, be it the manager, girls in the rooms, the cleaners, or the cook. They all take the time to make them feel special and cared for, and that's all any parent can ask.

We will be sad to say goodbye to everyone at Little Pioneers this September, and we're so grateful we chose them.

Overall Experience

A lovely little nursery that really adds a personal touch. All displays inside are eye-catching and engaging. All of the staff are brilliant and are always eager to tell you about your child's session upon pick-up. Also, a variety of play activities that are stimulating which is fantastic. The app is an added bonus to keep you involved when you're not there.

Overall Experience

My daughter visits the holiday club in nursery when she is off school in the holidays. She’s thoroughly enjoyed her time over the Easter holidays and has looked forward to coming in each day we’ve had booked. The girls always welcome her and greet her like she hasn’t been away for a few months. She loves the chicks and Easter-themed activities this time.

Overall Experience

Little Pioneers in Hetton has been so caring towards my little one, they have really nurtured her and helped her to develop. It is so lovely to see how all the staff in the setting know her and how well they know her. Her key worker talks so warmly about her character and personality and points out little things to us, like a book she’s really enjoying. The nursery is well organised with great communication showing us what our little has been doing and what her next step is. The environment itself is also very well organised and beautifully set up. No wonder my little one loves it so much!

Overall Experience

I sincerely appreciate how helpful and fantastic the members of staff of Little Pioneers Nursery and Preschool are. They're absolutely supportive. Not only do they give daily feedback about my daughter's activities, they also support her to overcome her challenges. My girl has really improved ever since she joined the nursery and I'm awed by how fast that has happened. My second daughter would be enrolling soon. I've got no concerns whatsoever about the nursery. A wonderful place to register your little ones. I'll definitely recommend Little Pioneers Nursery and Preschool.
