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.

The care, kindness and...
The care, kindness and support she has received has been truly amazing. From day one, the team gave us the confidence and reassurance we needed as parents to leave our little one in their care, knowing she was safe, happy and loved.
They have played such a huge part in helping her become the happy, confident and independent little girl she is today, and we will always be so thankful for that.
When we had our second baby, there was never any question about choosing another nursery. We knew exactly where we wanted him to go. That level of trust says everything.
Thank you for being such a special part of our family's journey and for giving our little girl such a wonderful start.
The management team are...
The management team are fantastic - approachable, supportive, and genuinely passionate about providing the very best care. They always take the time to communicate with parents and make us feel involved and reassured.
It's clear that every member of staff truly cares about the children, and seeing how happy and settled our daughter is gives us complete confidence that she's in the best hands. We love the range of activities, the focus on development through play, and the positive atmosphere throughout the nursery.
We would highly recommend Little Pioneers to any parent looking for a caring, professional, and nurturing nursery. Thank you to the whole team for everything you do

Choosing a nursery for your child is such a huge decision, but this nursery has been absolute magic for our family. The staff are amazingly helpful, kind, and genuinely supportive.
They have been fantastic with my son on a 1-to-1 basis, and the change in him has been incredible to watch. He used to cling to my leg at drop-off, but now he just runs straight in to play with his friends! His confidence has grown so much.
The nursery itself is always clean, tidy, and packed with brilliant activities to keep the kids engaged. On top of that, the management team runs everything so efficiently, creating a safe, welcoming environment where I feel 100% confident leaving him every day. I can't recommend them highly enough!

As the carer and brother of a child who attends this setting, I can honestly say I have been amazed by the care and support they provide. The staff know him so well, understanding all of his individual needs, personality, and little quirks, which gives our family so much confidence that he is in...
The management team are always friendly, welcoming, and approachable, creating a positive environment for both the children and their families. Watching him grow and thrive here since he was a baby has been incredible, and it's clear how much the staff genuinely care about every child.
It will be a very sad goodbye when it's time for him to leave, but I have no doubt that I'll be bringing my own children here in the future. I couldn't recommend this setting highly enough!

When we had additional support from the early help team the management engaged and supported my son but as soon as they discharged the case the management have been disengaged, been lied to and completely deceived. If I could go back I wish I never encountered this childcare setting. My son has been let down massively.

Such an excellent nursery. Staff are caring, go above and beyond to ensure my daughter's happiness while she is with them and they take the time to know her really well. They are gentle with the children and encourage their interests and growth. The handovers are excellent, the food is gobbled down (not at home though!!) and the management team take on board all comments and act upon them, usually immediately. I am super happy with the transition from toddler to preschool and very grateful for all the effort that they put into my daughter.
Amazing nursery, amazing staff! My son has come on heaps and bounds since starting nursery and I truly believe it is because the staff are so understanding and clearly love the job that they do! My son started off very anxious but as the weeks go by he is more and more settled and it's down to...

My son started off very anxious but as the weeks go by he is more and more settled and it's down to great care from the staff. Thank you!
I love the app and the detail added. It gives me reassurance that she's eating well and is playing.

We love little pioneers Cheltenham. Our son is in Little Creators and asks to 'go to work' every day that he isn't in. Yesterday he said he wanted to see his friends and included Laura one of his teacher in his list of friends. He's so happy under their amazing care and support. Thank you everyone....

So proud of the confident caring intelligent little boy my son has become whilst he was at Cheltenhams little pioneers. He has the best start in life and is ready for his transition into school. I can't speak highly enough of the amazing staff and professionalism they have in childcare . My son has made some great friends who he plays with outside of nursery and has surprised myself and his mother with the knowledge he has from his learning. If you are considering sending your child to this nursery I can't recommend highly enough.
The staff at this nursery are incredibly friendly and helpful. As a nervous dad, I was hesitant about my little boy starting nursery, but the team has been absolutely amazing with him - and with me! Their support has made us both feel confident and at ease. I can't recommend this nursery and its...

Additionally, all her teachers are very caring, and she loves them very much. She excitedly tells us all about what she did at school. As her family, we will do our best to support her in improving her English because she loves to talk.
Staff members personal effort in preparing the Turkish vocabulary file touched us deeply
and made us feel once again that our daughter is in the right place and in safe hands.
We would like to sincerely thank all our teachers, staff, and the chef.

Our son has been attending Little Pioneers for six months, since he turned one. He has Down Syndrome and the staff could not be more supportive of his additional needs. His key people advocate for him constantly and are so proud of the progress he makes at his own pace. They have always ensured he is supported in the right way to join in with his stronger friends while also encouraging his development. They will always find a way to include him in activities and this has done wonders for his development. Little Pioneers is absolutely the right place for our son and I am so grateful to the staff for all they do for him and for us.
A genuinely lovely nursery with caring staff and a great atmosphere. Updates are given through the day and often there is a picture of what our little ones are getting up to. You can tell the staff work really hard to ensure the children are all having a great time and learning. The new-build...
Could there be more outside space? - yes.
Could it be closer to my house? - yes.
Are the constant roadworks a pain? - yes!!!
Could it be cheaper? - yes.. but I understand costs are going up and you need to pay for good staff. I don't feel that little pioneers are being unreasonable compared to other nurseries and the cost of childcare is a national problem!
But these are minor issues compared to all of the massive positives. I have no regrets!
My daughter initially went to this nursery she has now left and my son now attends. They have been absolutely brilliant with him! He has had some initially tough drop offs but the staff always reassures me that he settles quickly. They have had no problems supporting his contact naps and his...
My daughter initially went to this nursery she has now left and my son now attends. They have been absolutely brilliant with him! He has had some initially tough drop offs but the staff always reassures me that he settles quickly. They have had no problems supporting his contact naps and his general need to be held as he settled into nursery life. He clearly is well cared for and the staff seem genuinely proud of his achievements! Would completely recommend this nursery!

The staff have high standards for themselves and the environment. This means they are really committed to the children's experiences and learning opportunities. The communication through apps and handovers is excellent- we have been to other nurseries and this is the best we have had.
We are really grateful to have gained a space here; it is a little bit more expensive but it's
definitely worth it for the experience we are getting.
