I will start by saying that I have checked almost all the local nurseries for my 2-year old, and I was impressed by the premises of Little Pioneers. Newly build building, spacios, clean, fresh, large outside area, decent parking. The food is great, cooked on the premises. You take your child and pick
her up from her room. Other nurseries just hand it to you at the door step, no idea what is inside. The stuff is great, but changing quite a lot. For the admins I would like to mention that the nursery is quite invisible online. I searched all the nurseries I visited online, but this one somehow did not catch my eye, maybe because of too little pictures and descriptions. I only noticed it while driving nearby and decided to pop-in.

Always thrilled, my child always excited to come to nursery.
Drop offs - Always greeted politely, ask if child is ok.
Updates - App updated, if not made aware why.
Pick ups - Full handover of day.
Always clean and tidy, my child speaks highly of staff. He has come a long way since he started in
October 2023 and that is down to the work of the colleagues at Little Pioneers.
Highly recommend to any parent!

Hi this review is from when my daughter first started at the nursery, she settle very quickly.
The staff at pioneers are lovely, especially two members of staff whom me and my daughter adore very much. She has learnt so much and has a very big personality all down to the care of little pioneers.
The activities that are set daily are amazing. My daughter wakes up very excited for nursery and to see her peers. Thank you to all.

What a difference it has been since the manager has taken over. I did think it was run ok before but now I can see how a nursery is ment to be run being a first time mom I was oblivious to how things are ment to be run.
After attending a mothers day stay and play I've realised the manager is what
this nursery needs she cares about all the children and works along side staff to make sure their needs are met.
All the staff members at lanesfield are absolutely amazing can't fault them at all since day one they've always supported my daughter.

Very underwhelming feeling to conclude. I was so excited for my child to start here and my expectations have slowly been under met, as time goes on it's getting worse. I've addressed the same recurring issue time after time regarding another child. I've emailed and spoken verbally to the room staff
and nursery managers about my concerns, but not one person has come to me to explain what the course of action is to be taken, and what procedures are in place to prevent the issue from occurring again. I've called yet again today and the nursery manager was unaware an incident happened for the fourth time. My child is not happy here anymore, I'm unhappy leaving my child here and holding my breath when I pick him up to hear another incident has happened. My child is coming home with bite marks from other children and I'm expected to roll with it, I'm sure if my child was going into nursery with bite marks it would be a different story. A lot of things were promised at first but under-delivered.

My two sons attended this nursery. There is a high turnover of staff, the baby room is overwhelmed 99% of the time, always multiple babies crying or sitting unassisted, falling over hitting heads. Often I would collect my son and they would then say “Oh we were just about to change him.” Nothing against
the staff, I loved his key worker but the whole thing was off. Food is cheap and tastes horrible. I turned up one day to be told my bill was behind and they could not attend that day even though I had paid on the same day every month since we began. No warning from them at all. I was considering leaving and that was the final straw. I now have a childminder I found on a website, £50 a day as opposed to £70, home cooked meals, 3 trips a week, all included in price and my boys have progressed so much. It breaks my heart knowing my very forward 1-year-old was being held back so much. Within weeks of moving he was potty trained, counting to 20 and an all round happier child.

In my opinion, Ward Grove Nursery is the best nursery and I feel comfortable leaving my son with the team. Management in the reception are always welcoming and clearly display first aid staff and safeguarding leads on the wall so that parents can access all information. I am aware of safeguarding procedures
and feel that the team understand how to keep all children safe whilst us parents have to work. Particularly several members of staff understand my son's comfort and care needs when I drop him off in the mornings, which in turn helps him regulate his emotions. It is bittersweet that my son moves into the preschool room, but again I feel happy to leave him in the care of one particular care worker, as she has already made a good rapport with my son during the transition stage. Working with children is one of the hardest roles to do yet the team at Ward Grove make it look like fun. I hope they all realise how important they are to us parents.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.445)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.445) out of 10 for Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-School, Lanesfield is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.445 for Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-School, Lanesfield is calculated as follows: ( (149 Excellents x 5) + (66 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) + (7 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 238 Ratings = 4.445

  • b) 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-School, Lanesfield is based on 18 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 86 number of registered child places is 17.2, which has been reached with 18 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
