24 February 2026
When first looking at nurseries I was struck that the good ones seemed to either be competent or warm. Coop Bristol exuded competence. In the 1 1/2 years since I joined, any potential doubts about warmth have been drowned out by the stronger impression of kindness & compassion which seems to be the
continuing source of their competence.
Examples
- all dirty/soiled clothes are bagged up and hung on the children's pegs or placed in their bags - rarely are clothes lost which I now recognise as unusual among nurseries
- "poor behaviour" is directly handled, usually with some real efforts to understand things for both parties. My children have been on both sides of this.
- nearly everything is noticed - I've been told about bruises i didn't know my children had
- the comms app is always and promptly filled in with daily updates, and semi regular reports on progress are completed.
The two possible cons are
- central roadside location
- it's very popular/big

Lovely nursery - the team are great, and both of my boys are really settled, making friends and enjoying their time at Little Pioneers. My older boy is in pre school and I'm so pleased with how much he's learning, and how socially confident he is. My younger boy started about six months ago - he's
got such a lovely bond with his key worker and the other staff in the baby room, it's really lovely to see.

Little Pioneers is an excellent nursery where both of my children have been very happy. The staff are patient and caring with lots of experience and enthusiasm to back it up. My children actively look forward to their nursery days which tells me everything I need to know.

Little Pioneers Nursery and Preschool are brilliant! We've got both our children there now and they both love it and are thriving due to the commitment of the staff and facilities they have.
The staff there really do care for each child and its great to see them building trusting relationships
with the children in their care, even the kitchen staff are known to the children! We've been so happy we were able to get our children in here and it has/will set them up for hopefully more success as they move into school

My little one has been at the nursery for a couple of months now, and has settled in so well. The staff have been welcoming and warm, and have made the effort to get to know us. The activities are fun and varied, there is a great amount of indoor and outdoor space for them. The food choices are
healthy and nutritious. They have developed a lot since they started, due to interacting with the other kids, staff and the activities that they can participate in. I would recommend to anyone looking for a nursery!

The nursery has had a huge and entirely positive effect on both our young boys. The wonderful staff are attentive, kind and loving towards the children, and they work so hard to make the kids feel welcome and to make us parents feel secure. Our boys have both found themselves at nursery and have
both developed great relationships with other kids and the staff as well. Couldn't be happier.

Our daughter has been happy every day at nursery since she started 6 months ago. The staff are welcoming, attentive and caring in every way. We couldn't be happier with our daughter's childcare.
There is such a lovely atmosphere and fun activities for the children to enjoy.

Lovely nursery with amazing and dedicated staff, who treat your child as if they are your own. They have looked after both my children and I would keep choosing them. They are attentive and informative. My Son has a great time when he's there and made some really nice friends. Highly recommended!

My Child has enjoyed their first 2 months at Little Pioneers. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. There's always a detailed handover at the end of the day and a welcoming smile on arrival. All food is cooked fresh on site and all dietary requirements are met. The children are separated by age
groups in separate rooms but mixed at times for activities, breakfast and going out in the garden. My child has thrived so much since attending here. Highly recommend.
18 March 2025
We are very pleased with Little Pioneers. Our son has a lovely time and is very well cared for. The staff all know him by name and make him feel welcome. They do a nice range of activities which are fun and help his development. I'm very impressed with the on-site kitchen and our son loves the
variety of food. The outside areas are really nicely done and great for playing outdoors. I definitely recommend this nursery.

Little Pioneers is a wonderful nursery. My daughter has been attending for just under a year now. I was very anxious about leaving her in someone else's care on my return to work. I needn't have worried- the staff were very caring, lots of cuddles, affection and encouragement in this time of
important transition. She's a very poor sleeper but somehow manages to sleep there and happily eats the varied menu. She's come on leaps and bounds since first attending and seems to enjoy a nursery day as much as a home day. Lots of activities and toys to play with. The children go outside to play regularly, which my daughter absolutely loves. I would have preferred a nursery was a large garden but given the central location, they have made the best with what they have. The staff update you on pickup every day, which I find useful.

A fantastic nursery with wonderful staff. Our son has a great time there every day, enjoys the garden, activities, and food, and clearly has a great relationship with the staff. He has progressed through several rooms in his tone there and all have been excellent. I would highly recommend this
nursery to anyone.
12 March 2025
Lovely, caring staff and great setup of the rooms. Lots of outdoor time for my son and a very handy location. He has lots of fun at nursery and can see him developing every day! Very happy with it all.
19 April 2023
I have always had a very positive relationship with staff members, they always make my son feel very welcome and on days when he does not really feel like going, they always take their time settling him.
He has a lovely bond with his room adults and loves talking about them and his day when he
comes home.

A wonderful nursery with fantastic, friendly staff. My son has been at the nursery since October 2022 and he absolutely adores it! I cannot fault it. Thank you to all the staff for all their hard work. I would definitely recommend the nursery.
31 March 2023
Excellent childcare setting. Warm, friendly and really knowledgeable staff, very inviting environment with fantastic resources. Great food and amazing communication with both management and the staff in the room. My daughter is so happy here and is excited every day to come to the nursery. The staff
always take the time to make her feel special and have really taken the time to get to know us as a family. They've really supported her confidence and development.
31 March 2023
My daughter has been diagnosed with Autism recently and she has been attending this nursery for the past 2 years. Her progress has been carefully monitored and adjusted according to her needs. Staff are very helpful, friendly and always there for the kids! The nursery is well-equipped!
31 March 2023
We absolutely love this nursery. All the staff are always really kind and enthusiastic. You can tell they truly take the time to get to know the children and their personalities. They always give fun updates at the end of the day about what our son has been up to. They always come up with fun
activities and send photos of the different sensory trays they create each day.

My daughters have been attending the nursery for 2 years and I can't recommend it highly enough. The girls are so well looked after. All the staff have been fantastic. I was anxious about leaving them but the care they get and the fun they have put me at ease immediately. One of my daughters
struggled a bit more with the separation from me and the help the staff gave her was above & beyond. They were great. The office staff are also brilliant and so helpful.
12 December 2022
My son has attended this nursery since March, and really settled in, staff are always lovely, and he really seems to enjoy his days there. He has since moved to the toddler room and all has gone smoothly. The updates on the app are great and really help settle any nerves about how their day is
going.
