Review of Curious Explorers Day Nursery and Pre-School Fleet from K C (Mother of Child) published on 18 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We started our son at Curious Explorers at 10 months old, the staff are so caring and lovely that it just made me feel comfortable taking my son each day. In the baby room you get constant updates throughout the day and pictures which helps to put you at ease! The activities they provide are great, especially their mother's day and fathers day. I would definitely recommend the team at Curious Explorers.

Review of Curious Explorers Day Nursery and Pre-School Fleet from Heather C (Mother of Child) published on 27 October 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our son was a Curious Explorer from 11 months old until the week he started school so we have experience of the baby room, toddler room and the preschool. I am so glad that we were able to secure a place at Curious Explorers and my son had the most wonderful 3 years there. We knew from our initial visit that this was where we wanted our son to be cared for and learn. All of the staff were warm and friendly and all of the children looked so happy and were clearly having a wonderful time! Having looked at other settings i really felt that the level of engagement between staff and children and the warm homely friendly feel really set Curious Explorers apart from other options. My son bonded well with staff, made lovely friends, ate super home cooked food, learnt so much and enjoyed so many experiences, activities and opportunities. I would highly recommend Curious Explorers to others, we really miss being there!

Review of Curious Explorers Day Nursery and Preschool Crookham Village from Rebecca G (Mother of Child) published on 18 September 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been here since a year old and just graduated from pre school she has loved it all, the staff are fantastic and the children go out regularly to forest school. She loved the cows in the fields behind and was very happy to go to preschool, she built great connections with the staff. I really can't fault this nursery and preschool. The manager is always quick to reply to emails and tries her best to accommodate additional requests. My daughter always comes home and tells me about so many activities, her learning has come on such a long way with the teaching they do and support they provide.

Review of Curious Explorers Day Nursery and Preschool Crookham Village from R D (Mother of Child) published on 16 September 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has just finished preschool having started with Curious Explorers Crookham Village when she was one. I can't speak highly enough of the care, support and kindness the Nursery has given over the last three and a half years. The Nursery itself looks out onto fields and the garden between the main building and the preschool cabins is great- full of play equipment and activity zones. The rooms are all bright and welcoming and full of books and toys to entertain and introduce the kids to learning. The meals provided are nutritious and varied. Finally the staff are all wonderful- warm, friendly, professional and experienced. There is also a real culture of supportive learning and development- making sure the children are as ready as they can be for big school. I always felt so happy leaving my daughter in any of the staff's care. I can't recommend Curious Explorers highly enough.

Review of Curious Explorers Day Nursery and Pre-School Fleet from Alexandra S (Mother of Child) published on 13 September 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We kept our son at Curious explorers from 11 months until the week before he started school and are so glad we found it.
The team is extraordinary- they love and nurture the children with tailored learning including additional support and necessary referrals.
Daily handovers are done with a smile, and incidents are well handled with clear communication.
The environment is safe and fun and well organised with lovely outdoor learning opportunities. My son adored the food and had a lovely friendship with the cook because he enjoyed eating everything she made so much.
We are going to miss the team as much as our boy will. We know that he was loved there and we saw the efforts put into his development by the staff.

Would recommend to any local parents.

Review of Curious Explorers Day Nursery and Pre-School Fleet from Emma H (Mother of Child) published on 28 August 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has been going to this nursery since she was just one, and honestly, I can't imagine a better place for her to have spent these early years. The staff are all so caring and kind and its such a comfort as a parent to drop your little one off and know they're in such good hands.
The manager, is absolutely wonderful. She's warm, approachable, and you can see how much she cares, not just about the children but about the whole team. She has created such a wonderful, welcoming atmosphere and its always the warmest welcome at drop-off and pickup!
Over the years, I've watched my daughter grow in confidence, make friends, and have such great opportunities at Curious Explorers. We will always be so grateful for the wonderful care and love she (and her older sister) were shown there and what a huge part this nursery has played in our lives for the past 5 years.

In summary, we can't recommend Curious Explorers highly enough!!

Overall Experience

We couldn't be happier with the care our daughter received at Curious Explorers. She spent almost three years progressing from the baby room through to pre-school and she is now thriving and ready for school. The staff are all professional, caring, and fun and the nursery itself is well equipped in a lovely homely setting. I would highly recommend it!

Overall Experience

My son attended the baby room of this nursery and absolutely loved it! It is a lovely home-from-home environment which was a great transition for my baby. The staff members were so kind and caring, I always felt at ease when dropping him off. The staff keep you really up to date with what they are up to during the day. Would definitely recommend it.

Review of Curious Explorers Day Nursery and Pre-School Fleet from L R (Mother of Child) published on 7 August 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son loves his days at nursery and really looks forward to going.
The team are fantastic! They are really friendly and professional, and you can tell that they enjoy what they do, the kids love them.
The facilities are great and the setting is perfect for my son. He loves being outside and it's great that they get out as much as possible.
We are sad that he will be leaving soon, but want to thank the team for looking after him and teaching him so well, especially throughout the pandemic, it couldn't have been easy but you made it look effortless and we really appreciate it.

Thank you, he will miss you all lots!

Overall Experience

Wonderful, caring staff characterise this nursery. They must have a low turnover because some of the staff also cared for my eldest several years ago. The baby room is well run with a fantastic range of activities and the garden provision is a highlight. I would not hesitate to recommend Curious Explorers.

Review of Curious Explorers Day Nursery and Pre-School Fleet from V D (Mother of Child) published on 28 August 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son only attended Curious Explorers for a term and I was worried if it was the right thing to do putting him in a setting for such a short time. The team were fabulous in helping him feel settled and he found lots of new friends to spend time with.

The team were very aware of his interests and playmates and allowed him to transition between two rooms and outside so he could be with his friends.

I really appreciate the effort the owner made to make a space available for my son to attend. She was always a constant face in the nursery and ready with a warm welcome for parents.

My son will be attending school soon and it’s lovely that some of the friendships he has established in the nursery will hopefully continue.

Reply from Alicia Lesch, at Curious Explorers Day Nursery and Pre-School Fleet

Thank you for the kind words. I wish him all the best at school and know he will be loved as much as he was by all the staff and children at Curious Explorers.

We are extremely happy with Curious Explorers. The staff are enthusiastic, caring and passionate about 'their' kids.
We have seen the nursery/pre-school develop significantly under current ownership.

We feel our child has benefitted greatly from attending.

Review of Curious Explorers Day Nursery and Pre-School Fleet from Christina (Mother of Child) published on 17 October 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter has been attending Curious Explorers for the last four weeks and she has settled in very well. The staff are very caring and flexible ensuring that our daughter's individual needs are catered for. The nursery is very clean with great spaces for all ages and the garden is very large and well used which was a key consideration of ours when deciding on a nursery. The staff do all sorts of different activities with the children to deliver a varied and interesting day for them which was another important factor when we were deciding on a nursery. The nursery uses an app called Daily Connect to keep you up to speed with what your child is doing during the day and it is so lovely to see pictures and know what your child is doing and much easier than papers or books at the end of the day.

An outstanding nursery. My son loves going, is happy, well stimulated and continues to develop both socially and mentally. The staff are kind and caring and communicate well. The setting provides everything my son loves and needs! The garden provides great space for playing and even growing their own lunch! Meals are home cooked and even my fussy eater loves them!
