Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-School, Seaham

I’ve developed a strong bond with the girls who care for my daughters. They are extremely professional but also very down to earth. The role they play in my daughters day to day care is just fantastic. There is always some new skill they come home with and it’s reassuring for me as a parent to know my girls are safe, well looked after and are thriving. This is down to the Manager and her amazing team.

After being so anxious for my child to start nursery as he was born during the coronavirus and was very clingy at home he’s settled really well and the staff in the baby room show a lot of care too to a point he’s cuddling the staff and I don’t even get a look when I drop him off.

The staff in the nursery are so welcoming not just to the children but to the parents, they help you with any issues you have, they encourage children to come out of there comfort zones. My daughter was shy on her first few weeks and wouldn’t talk to anyone, she now doesn’t shut up. They have encouraged my son to talk more loudly and engages with others more. I love the updates they put on, on a daily basis of what they have been up to and have they have had to eat. The nursery is like a home from home and I’d recommend to anyone who asks about it

Fantastic nursery, goes above and beyond. My little boys speech is amazing for the age he is thanks to the nursery. He has come on amazing. Teaching him everyday skills. Ie playing/sharing. Manners. Using a knife and fork.

Staff always seem very friendly and happy on a morning. They greet all the children with a smile. My little one is always very excited to get in on a morning. He comes home and says/does things that are new that he has learnt at nursery which always amazes me.

We have been so impressed by the staff at Little Pioneers. They clearly know our child really well and take her likes and dislikes into account when planning activities and interacting with her. They have promoted her development really well and been hugely supportive through changes in her home life.

Absolutely wonderful nursery, friendly staff, the food always smells delicious, the learning resources are amazing and my son always asks when it’s time for nursery again. 10/10 recommend this nursery to everyone

My son loves attending nursery! He is so happy and is constantly learning new things, I want to give a special shout-out to his Nursery Worker! She is amazing at what she does and makes him feel like he is at home! She is always there to welcome him and sends me such lovely pictures and observations. The girls all work so hard and always have a big smile when we arrive to drop him off.

My daughter has been attending since April 2022 and loves it. I was worried she would struggle to settle only attending 1 day a week but she settled so fast. The staff have taken time to get to know her and genuinely seem pleased to see her and interested to hear what she has been up to. We love being invited in for parties so we can see her in the nursery environment. Would highly recommend.

Both my daughter and my son have attended this nursery after the abrupt closure of the nursery they did attend. Staff found them a space and made both children welcome, making the transition incredibly easy. My son and daughter both adore the nursery and although my daughter is now at school, she still loves to visit. My baby is constantly being well looked after, he does various activities throughout the day, he’s fed to a high standard and the girls always make a fuss of him. I’d not go anywhere else and recommend the place to anyone. I travel a distance to get here and don’t quibble at all it’s well worth the trek. Exceptionally grateful for the love and peace of mind.
