Little Pioneers Nursery & Pre-School, Newburn

An amazing nursery, all the staff are lovely and always go out their way for each child. My little boy is autistic and each and every member of staff has helped him come on so much since he started. They have been such a blessing to both my kids that go there. Honestly couldn’t recommend this nursery enough.

We’ve been using Co-op Childcare Newburn Day Nursery for over six years and couldn’t ask for a better nursery. Both our children have loved coming here, the team are amazing, open and welcoming. The facilities are great and the children are encouraged to be independent and confident.

Fantastic nursery, my little boy loves going every week, he enjoys everything about it from the lovely friendly and caring staff to the fantastic fresh, healthy and diverse choice in meals. My daughter also enjoyed attending this nursery before she went into school, can’t recommend it enough!

Our son has attended from 9 months old. Through the initial settling in period and transition to the older rooms, he has been supported and looked after. He loves attending nursery now and has a great relationship with staff. They do lots of new activities with the children to keep them entertained and have a lovely environment for him to thrive. He loves the large outdoor space and spends a lot of time outside. They also take the children out locally for walks.

Our boy started at the nursery when he was 10 months old. He is now 27 months and is really thriving and I think this is due to all the experiences he gets at nursery. He is always so happy to be there, from the start to the end of the day. The ladies are all really attentive and listen to anything we want them to know about our child, for example, he went through a phase of bad eczema and they all followed his plan perfectly and it didn’t take long for his skin to improve. I recommend the nursery to everyone I know and I am so happy that my child attends here.

My son has been going to Little Pioneers Nursery for 4 days a week for nearly a year now, and we couldn’t be happier. The staff, facilities and care have all been excellent, and I have seen my son thrive, developing skills and friendships. The learning goals are tailored to my son’s interests and they stretch his skills in fun ways and the staff are happy to accommodate, eg using cloth nappies. They even managed to get my contact napper to nap! We’re completely happy with our choice to send our son here.

My son started attending Little Pioneers Nursery back in October and has been welcomed with open arms every time he attends. We have both found that the staff in our son’s room got him to settle so well they have adapted well to looking after him and are very understanding of his everyday needs. This is especially noticeable when we collect him, he is often settled and is smiling away.
The girls do an amazing job and deserve a lot of credit.

We have always had a friendly reception, my son loves coming and seeing his ‘teacher’s’ and friends. He loves the activities they do with him. Helpful staff, they have been very supportive to us during difficult times at home.

I very much love the nursery for my child. The staff are excellent and really care for the children. The activities are well-planned and thought out. The food is varied, and the outdoor space is great. The only flaw we have found is there seems to sometimes be a lack of communication between staff, be it for business or another reason, and sometimes getting a message across from one person to another is difficult, for example, it took quite a few sessions for the message of not having a nap time to become on board, due to staff communication (however, I do understand they are busy!). I do also wish there were more photos put onto the gallery to view at home. Aside from this and the occasional item of clothing being sent home to the wrong person, we haven’t had any big issues. Staff have been more than helpful in his original settling in and are excellent when it comes to making him feel comfortable and happy. I would recommend and have done to anyone.

The team are fantastic! My son has been attending the nursery since he was 1, so has been through every class. The development, support and reassurance from the whole team are brilliant – even getting food ideas from the member of staff in the kitchen. We’ll be so sad to leave in September when he goes to school.
