Following a £1.2million Society investment in the redevelopment of six Your Co-op Childcare nurseries, we are very pleased to announce that five nursery sites are now fully refurbished and have joined the Little Pioneers family, with one looking to be completed in the coming months.
The six nurseries include Hetton, Seaham, Newcastle, Newbiggin, Tavistock and Newburn which will all sit under the Little Pioneers branding. We welcome them to the Little Pioneers family!
The rebranding of these sites in the North East will now see the Little Pioneers portfolio grow to 16 sites across the country.
But investing in these sites is more than just new signage, fresh paint, and new toys. Joining the Little Pioneers family means it keeps our parent’s priorities and children’s happiness at the forefront of our colleague’s minds.
The Little Pioneers approach is not just focused on academic and developmental achievements, but on building the qualities that best enable, building kind, conscientious, confident, and happy children. These values lie at the heart of the Little Pioneers ethos and are threaded through their practices every day.
Sally Bonnar, Chief Operating Officer: “We are investing significantly across our nurseries in the North East and we’re committed to creating safe and rewarding environments in which our children can develop and enjoy themselves, while also helping them to learn about the communities and world they are living in.
“The nurseries that have already been transformed look amazing and I can’t wait to see this roll out to our wider portfolio of nurseries in the near future.”
What changes will you see around the nurseries?
The indoor spaces have been redesigned to encourage natural curiosity, giving children freedom to explore, and the space to learn and grow.
New equipment in garden areas for outdoor play and learning, to help build independence and resilience. Plus new and updated parent rooms for families to wait and have a nice cuppa whilst picking up or dropping off their child.
Join an Open Day this Saturday!
All six nurseries will be hosting their Open Day this Saturday from 9am – 5pm, inviting local families to come and have a look around their new look nursery and talk about what has changed since becoming a Little Pioneers Nursery and Pre-school. This will especially be a big one for Little Pioneers, Hetton as they celebrate being awarded ‘Top 20 Nurseries in North East’ with Daynurseries.co.uk.
