from Jennifer R (Mother of Child) published on 19 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My little boy started explorers January 2025 and will be leaving end of August 2025.

He will be really sad to leave and miss all his teachers and Friends. The relationships he has built with all his teachers and the manger of such a short time has been amazing and to help him grow, to get him ready

for big school.

The nursery is very active on the app keeping us posted on food, activities, learning journal, events, accidents etc.
this puts your mind at ease once dropping them off for the day. If feels like a safe environment especially the front door system that they have works very well.

The communication between staff and parents I feel is very efficient too. Staff work with you and your child in so many ways it's been so lovely to form relationships with the staff. Can't thank them enough.

I am currently pregnant and will be hoping to enrol my new baby some day, couldn't recommend the nursery enough.

Overall Experience

My daughter has attended the nursery for just under a year and it has been the most rewarding time seeing her do all new things which she has learnt in nursery and all the friends which she has made.

The nursery as a whole including staff is beyond amazing. All the staff are welcoming and amazing

with the children.

Overall Experience

Both our children go to this nursery, and have done since over a year ago when my eldest was just turning 3, and youngest was 1.5. They love it, and the staff are so amazing! My eldest does have some struggles and they are so kind, patient and communicative with us to ensure she thrives. My eldest leaves

for school in September and she has learn so much and is in such a good place to start her academic journey. I can't say thankyou enough to this wonderful nursery. They put so much effort into a graduation for the leavers too. My youngest will be upping to 4 days soon and I know she will love that!

Explorers Lydiate provides top care for my daughter. My daughter has attended the nursery since 9 months of age and is now 3. The staff are all absolutely amazing and go the extra mile to provide the best possible care by keeping you informed of progress, milestones and by providing stimulating and

amazing daily activities. My daughter loves attending nursery and her confidence has improved massively too, she loves all of the staff. I would highly recommend Explorers Lydiate.

Overall Experience

I chose this nursery for my daughter as me and her dad loved the general feel of the nursery and staff, they are all so friendly, accommodating and genuinely care about the needs of the children. However they didn't have the hours available when we first went to look around and we settled on another

nursery. We withdrew my daughters place at the other nursery before she had even started due to some concerns we had. The difference between explorers and this other nursery was eye opening. One lady was amazing in sorting a place out last minute. I love how they update you via the app throughout the day with the things she has ate, drank, the activities she has completed and if she has slept or not etc. It really puts your mind at ease. The food always looks delicious from updates on the app. They even gave out little Christmas bags with presents and keepsakes inside for her. I loved this gesture as it meant that every child had a present to open on Christmas day regardless.

Overall Experience

This is, hands down, the best nursery you could wish for! The staff are absolutely dedicated to their job and love what they do, the facilities are always clean and cater to all ages with special attention to sensory requirement. They have regular fun activities, including personal development and constantly

update us parents with observations. Since my child has been here, he has developed in every aspect and truly loves attending his nursery. As a mother who suffers with PTSD after a traumatic pregnancy and my son having a brain condition, it means the world that they take extra special care of him. The morning staff I owe special thanks to as they have been absolutely amazing, especially one member of staff, in particular, who is a credit to the company. Would always highly recommend, thank you for all your hard work and dedication to our children and their development.

from Jenny A (Mother of Child) published on 27 December 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

As a first-time mum, I was anxious about putting my son in daycare however after visiting the nursery/settling in sessions, I felt much better about the decision and was impressed by the care and attention given. All the staff have made us both feel welcome which has made our new routine much easier.

Our son has progressed massively since starting here, his comfort and confidence are clearly visible when attending. Several times when collecting our son, we have been told about what he has done that day and the staff member has told me how proud they are of him; the staff have such lovely bonds with the children. We are kept well informed around personal care throughout the day and activities that the nursery will be hosting, e.g. charity/Christmas events (via an app). I highly recommend this nursery, the staff and managers should all be proud of their achievements and commitment to childcare as they provide such a happy and supportive place for our children to develop.

Reply from Richelle Cook, Director at Explorers Lydiate

We are extremely lucky to have a caring and committed staff team who truly put the children at the heart of everything that they do. We know all of the parents appreciate the feedback at the end of the session and it gives the opportunity to build a bond with the team. The app is a valuable tool for communicating with the parents and keeping everyone updated about their child's development and day to day activities. I am glad you feel that you have made the right choice in nursery and we are proud to be a part of your child's journey.

Overall Experience

My child has been in Explorers since she was 2 and now she is 4 years old, she absolutely loves the nursery and all the staff there. Any problems I've had, they have been quick to sort it and keep updates on it.
Any accidents that occur are told very quickly via telephone or by the app
The app is

very good for updates etc., always updating what my child is doing, also very good for newsletters to keep updated with what's going on throughout each month.

Reply from Richelle Cook, Director at Explorers Kirkby

Thank you for your review. We are pleased to hear that your little one is having a good experience with us. The app gets lots if mentions in the reviews and we know that it is a great way to see what your child is doing during the day and keep families updated with events.

Overall Experience

Our son has additional needs and he struggles socially and with change. The team at Explorers are so caring and have helped him to develop so much. The manager has gone above and beyond in supporting us to ensure he has all of the correct input and future planning for his move to school next year. All

of the nursery staff are amazing, they understand our son's needs and have helped him to integrate with the other children more and help to comfort him when overwhelmed. We will be so sad when he has to leave for school, as he is so happy and settled at Explorers.

Reply from Richelle Cook, Director at Explorers Lydiate

Thank you for your review. The staff know how important it is to be active in supporting children with SEND and their families. We hope that careful planning and working in partnership with parents help promote the best outcomes for all of the children at an early age. It is vital to get the transition to school right for our families and we are lucky to have a caring and supportive team to help put support in place when needed.

Lovely welcoming staff. Safe entrance/exit.
Our little boy looks forward to going to his sessions.
They send regular updates with regard to his progression and daily updates with regard to what he has eaten/slept/nappy changed.
They often have special events on eg Halloween and Christmas.
Personally

experienced a few difficulties with the app.

Overall Experience

I chose this nursery due to the outside space for my child to run around in.
I am so happy with everything the nursery does with my child, I feel like he is better off for going here.
The nursery staff really support his funny little adventurous personality and he seems to thrive. They have really

helped him with his social interactions too and have helped him become a kind and caring boy.
They keep parents updated with what we can help at home with and what he is doing well in learning. All of his friends seem to be kind too based on the lovely stories he tells me on the way home.
He always wants to go to nursery even on the weekend so it must be a good place to be. I feel like I could discuss anything with the staff and they are really supportive in my tough times. They have taught me parenting tricks that have really helped too at home.
If you are reading this and wondering where to send your child, you will be safe and glad with your decision to send your child here.

Reply from Richelle Cook, Director at Explorers Bootle

Thank you for your touching review of the nursery. I know that the staff go the extra mile to help build supportive relationships with parents and to work in partnership and it's wonderful to read that it is your experience with the team. I am delighted that you and your child are having such a positive experience and your little one is enjoying his time with us. We are lucky to have a large, private garden which we are currently developing to enhance the children's play in the coming months.

Overall Experience

Explorers is an amazing nursery. My son has been attending since April this year. The staff and managers are top-tier, communication is excellent and I could not possibly feel more comfortable and secure about the setting. My son loves attending and it is evident that all staff make an effort to get

to know each child - even across the three rooms. My son's language and communication are continually developing, he is happy and confident. What more could parents want? My son's key worker is excellent and her commitment to my son's development is evident - as is the bond between them. She always gives us a good rundown of his day on collection which is really reassuring as a parent. The baby room staff are all brilliant, the updates on the app are regular and the learning activities provided are varied and fun. Can't fault Explorers. My son is in safe, competent hands!
