Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter loves Little Pioneers nursery. The staff are wonderful and in particular Emily, Julie and Gemma who my daughter mentions a lot when talking about her day. She always seems to have a lot of fun, but seems to be developing a lot with things like drawing and writing which is amazing.

Review from C A (Mother of Child) published on 29 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As parents that older children both attended a childminder, we were nervous of sending the youngest to a nursery however, within a few days of starting we knew we had made the correct decision. The staff are incredible, you can see that they haven't recruited just to fill roles but have found the most
caring, passionate staff that care for children as soon as they walk through the door. Everyone is kind and friendly. They all know our son by first name and he genuinely squeals as we enter the car part waving goodbye to his siblings before we have even parked. The food is nutritious and varied and there are multiple activities daily. I really like the app due to being able to contact the nursery quickly and easily, as well as the real time updates and pictures of their day.

I cannot speak highly of everyone involved in this nursery - the Office Managers , staff and the Nursery Practitioners that look after my daughter. The environment is wonderful, both inside and outside, but what makes it so special is everyone involved in the nursery. They are always in good spirits,
friendly, caring, willing to help and listen. I feel so lucky that my daughter gets to spend time with them all and am never worried about her in their care. Could not recommend enough!

Dear Little pioneers team,
Thank you for a wonderful first month of our nursery journey. I truly appreciate the immense hard work you put into creating such a promising and nurturing environment for the children.
As a first-time parent, it was very difficult for me to send my child to nursery. But
you took the time to understand my fears and supported me at every step - through settling sessions, timely check-ins, and regular reassurance. This helped me build a trusting relationship with the nursery administration and staff. Kudos to your patience and thoughtfulness in building that trust with parents.
I can see the positive energy within the team, and it makes me very happy to send my child each day. My child is beginning to build trust, settle in, and enjoy being at nursery - and that gives me great peace of mind
Thank you

Review from Lauren A (Mother of Child) published on 20 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started nursery at the beginning of September and, although she can still be a little unsure at drop-off, she always has a wonderful day once she's settled. All of the staff in Little Adventures have been amazing - so calm, patient, and supportive with her, and also helping to settle our
nerves as she begins her nursery journey.
We're really grateful that we can drop her off knowing she is well cared for, and it means so much to receive updates throughout the day, along with photos of her enjoying time in the garden, engaging with books, and taking part in activities. Thank you for making the start of her nursery experience such a positive one.

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.733)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.733) out of 10 for Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-School Kingsgrove is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.8 out of 5 from 5 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 4.983 for Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-School Kingsgrove is calculated as follows: ( (57 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 58 Ratings = 4.983
  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 3.75 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-School Kingsgrove is based on 5 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.5
    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. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 20 = 0.25
  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.
