Day Nurseries Owned by Explorers Day Nurseries

Communication with parents is great and we always feel kept up to date with how our son is doing. We are very happy with Explorers and would highly recommend it to any parent looking for a caring, nurturing and professional nursery. A big thank you to the whole team for everything you do!

All of our children attended Explorers, and this August our youngest children left to begin their journey at big school. It truly marks the end of a very special chapter for our family.

We cannot praise the nursery enough. The environment is always exceptionally clean, welcoming and well maintained. The staff are absolutely amazing, caring, nurturing and dedicated to every child. They have made such a positive difference to all of our children's early years, and we will always be grateful for the love and support they have shown our family.

The outdoor experiences provided are fantastic, giving the children plenty of opportunities to explore, learn and have fun while enjoying the fresh air.

We would wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a safe and caring place for their child. We have had such a wonderful experience, and although we are sad to be saying goodbye, we will always look back on our time here with very fond memories.

My son has learnt so much and I am so grateful. Explorers has helped with his speech and helped to encourage him to taste new food as he is a very fussy eater. I have seen such a big change. He absolutely loves all his teachers!! He is very sad to be leaving.

We have had a wonderful experience at the nursery. The staff are caring, kind and supportive, and have helped our child grow in confidence and learn so much during their time there.

The graduation celebration was beautifully organised and such a special way to mark the end of their nursery journey. We are very grateful to all the teachers and staff for their hard work, patience and dedication. We will always cherish the lovely memories made here.

Our son has been attending this nursery (in Station Parade) since Jan 2026 and the staff have been nothing short of fantastic, caring and accommodating for us. A big thank you to Rachel (manager), Sophie, Elaine and the rest of the team for all their hard work and commitment to providing the best care for all the children. I could list everyone's names but we would be here forever! I have made various requests over this year which I discussed with Rachel and Sophie, and they have always been patient, kind and attentive to our needs. I would definitely recommend this nursery and the lovely team. Thank you Explorers team, we are beyond grateful for all the support you give to our son!

The staff are attentive, caring and professional, always understanding and quick to help with anything we need. Our son loves playing with his friends, has become far more sociable, and has learnt so much in a short space of time. We'd recommend them wholeheartedly.

I'm so so glad we made the decision to send our boys here. A truly wonderful nursery and would recommend it to anyone. It's also a tardis so don't be put off thinking it's small from the outside!

My child is very happy at Explorers. The staff are very friendly and attentive. They provide a varied of activities and a good variety of meals throughout the day. All updates are available on the app which is very useful. I have no complaints at all. Explorers is a very well run nursery.

Both my son and daughter attend this Nursery and me and my husband are very happy with their experience there. My children enjoy going to nursery and are happy going in and being picked up. I feel the members of staff have a lot of care for every child and are very attentive. They keep us updated with pictures and logging my children's meals and how much they have eaten. If there are any accidents that occur they inform us very quickly. They are also great at teaching my children new things and giving the children activities which allow them to express themselves. We are very fortunate to have got our children places at Explorers Aveley.

We now have our 3rd grandchild at Explorers and couldn't wish for a better nursery environment. Our grandson runs in with such enthusiasm and sometimes doesn't want to come home, he has so much fun. He has made good friends, is confident and loves every minute. A big thank you to the kind staff for making his days so enjoyable.

As a first-time parent returning to work after maternity leave, I was naturally full of anxiety and uncertainty about sending my one-year-old to nursery. However, the team here made the entire transition so much less daunting. From day one, the staff have been amazingly positive, friendly, and always happy to answer any questions. What stood out to me most was how proactively they worked with us on my son's bespoke dietary requirements. They were extremely forthcoming with thoughtful ideas and solutions to ensure his needs were fully understood and carefully met, which gave me immense peace of mind. The quality of care is exceptional, every single member of staff consistently goes above and beyond. The daily activities are wonderful, with a fantastic balance of indoor and outdoor play, and it's a joy to see the little day trips and adventures they get to go on! My son has come such a long way in his development since starting, all thanks to the nurturing environment and dedicated staff

Our son started in November 25 and since then he has excelled in his speech and imagination! Even family members have noticed how much he has improved with his learning. He absolutely loves going to nursery he goes in with a big smile on his face and comes out even happier the staff are absolutely fantastic always there for us when we need them. We can't believe how much our son has developed. We couldn't have picked a better place for our son to grow and develop.

It's been amazing to see how much they have developed during their time here. Their independence, communication, and curiosity have all flourished, and we know that's thanks to the encouragement and dedication of the incredible team. Thank you for all the love, support, and hard work you put into helping our little one thrive. We couldn't have asked for a better start to their learning journey.

It has been a wonderful nursery experience , and my daughter has spent the last two years there. She has learned so much, become confident, speaks very fluently, and is always curious and eager to learn. We truly appreciate the care and support she received, and it has been worth every penny. Thank you for giving her such a great start.

Communication with parents is excellent, with regular updates about daily activities, meals, naps, and developmental progress. The nursery is always clean.

Absolutely amazing, my little one loves it there. They have really helped with her confidence and she is flourishing with their help and support. Everyone is so lovely, supportive and caring. Brilliant environment with lots of different things, very spacious. Couldn't be more happier having my little one at this nursery. Would highly recommend anyone's little one going to this amazing nursery.

Thank you all!

I couldn't ask for a better nursery and the support the staff have given my son . I'm sad he will be leaving soon . And wish the staff could all go with him to his new school . He loves every member of staff and attending . They all make a difference and are very committed to make sure the children learn ,have fun and kept safe . Thank you to all the staff .

Well done to all staff at Explorers; keep up all your hard work

My son started here just after he turned 2, he was a little reserved and not too happy about leaving me.. Staff have been consistently calming, kind and supportive and now he is happy to walk in for a fun session and comes out very smiley.. I feel the staff are very much there for the children and it's more than just a job, they care.. I am very impressed with everything - learning, communication, environment, staff, outings, hygiene, food, activities set up; everything! Thank you for what you have done so far :-)
