Our Son absolutely loves going to Little Pioneers. The team at the nursery have made such a big effort with him to make sure his transition between the different rooms has happened with ease.
We can really see how much he has developed since going to nursery. Even learning things such as "What is electricity"
and the difference between Carnivores and Herbivores! We were genuinely surprised and happy with how much he is learning.

I feel the nursery has come a long way, and the level of support / ideas we have received with helping my son and daughter settle into nursery has been absolutely amazing. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff at Little Pioneers they will always do what they can to help, and in particular Grace,
and Chelsea as key workers we have had for both children they have been absolutely outstanding. They have created a lovely relationship and bond to make them feel comfortable and happy at nursery:)

Simply the best! The staff are brilliant, they really do care and know the children so well. The facilities are great and the activities are fun, engaging and ever-changing, the children have a brilliant time! The biggest plus for me is the love and care they've shown to my child over the years and
my child see's them as extended family and will be so sad when it's finally time to go off to school.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot recommend this nursery enough. My son has been at little pioneers all the way from the baby room up to pre school 3 full days aweek and is starting school in September.
Since his first day the staff have gone above and beyond. The range of food which is cooked fresh on site is great and
he really enjoys all the meals there. His key workers have always really taken the time to get to know him, his needs and routine and handovers are always in good detail. The app they use is great also so you can check what they are up to in the day.
All the staff are great and so friendly and helpful. My son has SEN and the support he has gotten is amazing.
The nursery was only built a few years ago so the facilities are really good.
Thank you all for all your hard work!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been going to Little Pioneers for over 2 years and he has a great time. He is learning so much, making lots of friends and is always being supported to reach his next milestone. He is currently in the pre-school room and is encouraged to become more independent. The staff are all amazing
and genuinely care about my son, and they put in lots of effort with different activities, songs and games. He has a variety of different food every day and the menu changes with the seasons. I find the day rate is expensive but this is the case at all nurseries in the area, plus you can use funded hours here.
Overall I would highly recommend Little Pioneers as a safe, friendly and fun nursery/pre-school.

Very happy with all the staff at Emersons Green little pioneers. My little one has some health issues and needs and they are extremely accommodating for this, they are getting themselves booked in for a training course for his health issues and have made sure we have a health care plan in place for
my little one. The team are outstanding in every aspect and I couldn't be happier with my choice to put my children in their care.

Our daughter loves it at Little Pioneers Emerson's Green, where she has been since she turned 1. She is soon to turn 4. She gets excited on going in each morning, and has strong bonds with her nursery practitioners. Her communication and eating has come on significantly since being at nursery, and we've
been very happy with her going there. It will be sad for us when she time comes for her to leave to go to school, but we will have fond memories!

Our son loves coming to nursery at Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school, Bristol Emersons Green. The staff are wonderful and kind and have really helped him to grow his confidence, learn and develop new skills and have lots of fun too, he always looks forward to going in. We get lots of great updates
on his development and also love hearing what he has been doing, which gives lots of new ideas for play at home too. The app updates are great and we also love the regular events and fundraisers that happen.
We're very happy with the nursery and highly recommend it.

After a troubled time when we have to take our daughter from nursery due to staff shortages with short notice, the nursery now seems to run smoother than before. Staff are always keen to help and our daughter loves to go and is enjoying to be there. Highly recommended.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We LOVE Little Pioneers! The Team at Emersons go above and beyond to make sure our little boy is happy, healthy and content to be there which really helps me as a parent to worry less as I know he is in the best hands.
The nursery itself is clean, modern and full of fun things to play with and my little
boy always walks through the door happy to be there. The activities planned are stimulating, engaging and have really enabled his motor skills, speech and development to be complimented which is noticeable at home as well.
As someone who works within safeguarding, the security/safeguarding of my child was the paramount factor when choosing a nursery and I can hands on my heart say Little Pioneers excel in this area. The secure entrance, intercom system and CCTV are all huge benefits to the setting. Every incident/accident/concern is always recorded and I'm always informed in an appropriate timeframe. I could go on and on about LP but truly it is an outstanding setting!

Absolutely amazing staff at the nursery. Have made my son feel so welcome and felt so at home there. Knowing that my son can go and talk to anyone of the staff within the room is an absolute credit to this nursery. They genuinely care about him, and also my family. Could not be prouder of my son being

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We're very happy with the care and attention my child receives at Little Pioneers Bristol Emersons Green. The staff are incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and experienced. They truly understand the developmental needs of young children and create an environment that encourages learning, exploration,
and growth. Every day, my child comes home with new things they've learned, whether it's a fun craft project, a new word, or a song they've learnt. The facilities are bright, clean, and safe, with plenty of space for the children to play, learn, and interact with each other. I love the variety of activities they offer- everything from creative play and music to outdoor adventures and structured learning time.
I also appreciate the improved communication between the nursery and parents. Regular updates, pictures, and feedback keep me informed about my child's progress and well-being, and I always feel confident that they are in good hands. It's been a great experience for our family.

Only ever had positive experiences. The staff are fantastic. The nursery itself is very well maintained and has everything a child needs. My child is very supported here and has learnt so much. They have very much benefited from attending the nursery as their social skills have improved as well as their
learning. My second child is due to start here soon and I am confident that they will benefit just as my eldest has.

Little Pioneers Emerson's Green have been amazing in looking after my daughter. My daughter has grown so much since joining the nursery in May 2024 and that is down to the experience she has at Little Pioneers. Her key worker is thoughtful and cares about her needs and her development, and the team
in Babies all have a good relationship with my daughter. She gets hearty and healthy meals everyday and always has a good time at nursery.

Amazing Preschool also supported not just my son but also looked after me at Preschool while I was undergoing treatment for cancer. He just simply loved going there and was smiling when I took him and when I collected him. The teachers were amazing and my friends for life, well recommended preschool.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.897)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.897) out of 10 for Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school, Bristol Emersons Green is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.947 for Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school, Bristol Emersons Green is calculated as follows: ( (216 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 226 Ratings = 4.947
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.95 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-school, Bristol Emersons Green is based on 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 100 number of registered child places is 20. 19 Positive Reviews ÷ 20 = 0.95
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
