Day Nurseries Owned by Explorers Day Nurseries

Incredible nursery with amazing, caring staff. We've sent 2 children here all the way through to primary school and never had any issues. Our children had an amazing time and learned to be independent during their time here. Highly recommended.

Thankyou Explorers for continuing to ensure my child is happy and safe at all times.

We've had such a great experience at Explorers. It's well-organised, fun, and perfect for kids to enjoy themselves safely. My daughter loves coming here and is always excited for the next visit. Definitely one of our favourite places!

Honestly can not fault this nursery.

My daughter attends and the nursery are amazing. Her transition wasn't the easiest but they supported her every step of the way and worked alongside me to ensure we were settling at her pace. They also reassured me when my daughter was upset during drop offs.

She is always well cared for, changed regularly and the app is updated every day before she leaves nursery. The staff are really good at encouraging independence and I have noticed a big change in my daughter. While at nursery my daughter has a pe lesson each week and a counting kids session at no extra cost and these are defiantly something she looks forward to.

The staff are nurturing, attentive and supportive and my daughter looks forward to her nursery days to see her teachers.

Something that really stands out to me is how well they know my daughter. Every pick up they tell me something funny she has done that day or something she has done well as well as expressing any concerns.

My daughter started explorers in April 2025. She could only say 5 single words on her first day. And a year on and still at the nursery. She has come on leaps and bounds. She knows all her friends names at the setting she can count 1to10 she now can tell me what she wants where before was a struggle.. I'm so grateful to all the staff at explorers for all the support they have shown me and my daughter.. and all the continuous work that has been put in place. This is a great place for your child to develop the skills they need before they move on to reception at infants school.. explorers is a little second home to my daughter she Frist in and lady out lol so I would recommend this setting to everyone. That's thinking off a nursery for there child or children

Our son has been attending Explorers Gidea Park since January 2025 and there has never been a single occasion of dissatisfaction of any kind. The manager, Leanne is exemplary in her approach, she is kind friendly (always upbeat, laughing and smiling), accommodating and super supportive, I do not know how she does it, always promptly responding and reassuring. The entire team is kind and they simply provide a superior space for children's growth and development in learning through play. Our son loves going here and he cannot wait each morning (5 days a week) to go in, that for us is all the evidence we need of what a lovely place this is. Raddika, his key worker, is always kind and supportive she understands our child well and always has a smile on her face. Overall we are very grateful to the team and all they do and cannot thank them enough :)

Marvellous setting. Clean with caring staff. My granddaughter is happy and has developed so well since joining this nursery last year. Thoroughly recommend.

We're very grateful to the team for the support they've given our daughter and for helping her grow in confidence and independence.

We're so happy with this nursery and the wonderful care our daughter receives. The staff are warm, nurturing, and genuinely dedicated to the children's development and happiness.

She has grown so much in confidence and independence since starting, and she comes home excited to tell us about her day. The environment is safe, engaging, and well organised, and communication with parents is excellent.

We're truly grateful for the amazing team and would highly recommend this nursery to any parent.

My son this year will be sadly leaving Explorers. When he first joined Explorers he he had difficulties talking and understanding (late learner) I was so worried about him as he is very clingy child and very picky eater but Explorers is like a second home for him and the only place he is comfortable without me. He has developed so much and learnt to try to eat new foods he has started talk and I can see the huge development. I just don' t know how we will cope without Explorers and we will certainly miss the staff. Everyone gave extra care and attention.

Such a lovely nursery. Nice separation by children's age and ability. One visit and I knew it would be right for my child. The staff manage transitions well. Communicate well. Share regular photos and updates. You really feel comfortable with leaving your child with people you know care for them in a space the kids enjoy. Only 'downside' is replacing lots of messy clothes but it honestly reflects in how many wonderful activities they get to do. My child's speech, development, potty training. Everything. Has been so well supported by everyone who is part of the team at collier row explorers

The Staff are brilliant ,I know my son is always in great care . He loves attending .Staff are really supportive . My son has learnt so much , and loves his teachers . The nursery is a lovely place with lovely staff . Would highly recommend .

Our Daughter is part of the family at Explorers Aveley, she Enjoys her time at Nursery and always excited to go back to play and develop. The App is easy to navigate but requires some better functions personal to Children ( recommendation only) she loves going on outings and comes home talking about her day. Three staff members that stick out for us are Miss Jade, Miss Sarah and Miss Lianna

We've had a really positive experience with this nursery since our son started. Like many toddlers, he found the initial settling-in period emotional, and as parents we were naturally anxious but the team handled it with so much care, patience and professionalism that it made a huge difference for us.

The staff took time to understand him as an individual, supported him through separation, and built trust at his pace. He now goes in happily, talks about his day, and clearly enjoys the activities and relationships he's forming there.

Communication has been excellent. The app updates and observations are genuinely reassuring and help us feel connected to his day. We also really appreciate the support with his language development (we're a bilingual family) and the collaborative approach with routines and milestones like toilet training.

Most importantly, the staff clearly care about the children. We're very grateful and would absolutely recommend this nursery.

I recommend Explorers Collier Row for all parents who want their kids to join. The staff are absolutely lovely, caring, and always welcoming to both children and parents. They take the time to understand each child and make them feel comfortable and included.

Both of my children are so happy to attend and genuinely look forward to going in every day, which gives me great peace of mind as a parent. The team create a warm, supportive environment and you can really see how much effort and care they put into what they do.

Thank you to everyone at Explorers Collier Row for everything you do, it truly makes a difference

As someone who has tried 3 different childcare providers with my first child, I can definitely say Explorers is top quality!

Ever since our little boy started at Explorers at the beginning of September, he has settled in quickly and seamlessly. We specifically chose this Montessori program because of its excellent reputation with babies, toddlers, and kids. The dedicated staff have not only made his days fun but have also shown great care towards all the children. Looking at the photos of his activities throughout the day is truly the highlight of my day. Knowing that I can drop him off and head to work without any concerns is a huge relief and fulfills every parent's wish. We are immensely grateful to the staff for the positive impact they have had on him in such a short period of time. When we pick him up, we see his smiling face every time - that's all we could ask for. A big thank you to the amazing staff at Explorers nursery.

Unfortunately didn't have a good experience here. Manager here was not very friendly. My daughter used to be very unhappy here so im so glad I took her out. She used to come home very unclean you can tell they didnt take care of her (nose not wiped and all dried up!). She is in a much better nursery now.

I can't say enough, so thank you everyone at Explorers.

My little boy started Explorers at the beginning of September and has settled in straight away and has loved every second and I put it down to the amazing staff that make their days so much fun and are so caring towards the children. Seeing the pictures of my sons day and what he has been up to is the highlight of my day and I can drop him off and go to work and have no worries which is what any parent wants. Can't thank the staff enough for what they have done for him in a short amount of time! He is even trying foods that he would never try at home which my husband and I are so grateful for.
