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
Reply from Richelle Cook, Owner at Explorers AveleyThank you so much for your lovely review.

We absolutely love hearing that your daughter feels part of the family at Explorers Aveley and that she's excited to come back each day to play and learn. That sense of belonging is exactly what we strive to create for every child, so your words mean a great deal to us.

It's wonderful to know she enjoys the outings and shares her experiences at home - those moments of excitement and storytelling are so special. We're also very grateful for your feedback about the app. We truly value suggestions from parents and will certainly take your recommendation on board as we continue to improve our communication tools.

Miss Jade, Miss Sarah and Miss Lianna will be so pleased to hear your kind recognition. We'll be sure to share your comments with them - it will mean so much.

Thank you again for your support and for being part of the Explorers Aveley family.

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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started here in September and I couldn't be happier that he is there. It's so hard to think of them without you and wondering if they are ok but I just know he is so happy and loving his time there. He waits at the door in the morning excited to see who is coming out to collect him and that is
because all the ladies there are so lovely!
The regular pictures and updates are great and you can see from the amount of activities everyday that they are discovering so much.
My son has really come along in eating independently and his speech is amazing.
I can't say enough, so thank you everyone at Explorers.
Reply from Richelle Cook, Director at Explorers AveleyThank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We're absolutely delighted to hear how much your son is enjoying his time at Explorers and that he looks forward to coming in each day - that means the world to us. It's lovely to know you're finding the updates and photos reassuring and that you can see his progress in confidence, speech, and independence. We're so proud of how far he's come! Thank you again for your kind words and for being such a valued part of the Explorers family.

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.

The staff here are honestly the best! They go above and beyond for all the little ones and are extremely attentive to the needs of the children. Since my daughter started in April, she has always looked forward to going to nursery with all the thoughtful seasonal activities. They do very well in encouraging
exploring, independence and early learning. For example, my daughter now feeds herself at meal time very well and has improved in her cup coordination.
A lovely community and as a first time parent, it can be nerve wrecking sending your little one to nursery but all the updates, attentiveness and communication from the staff puts us at ease. They also give updates to what your child has eaten during the day which helps me as a parent because, I can encourage her with the same types of meals at home to switch it up. The nursery is always clean and well kept too, which is a major thing for me.
Amazing nursery and **brilliant staff**!! Keep up the great work :)

Cannot fault this nursery. It took us a while to find one that we felt an instant connection with. From our first visit over a year ago, until now, it has completely solidified why we chose this nursery for our son (and daughter who will be starting in September). There are so many skills that our son
has learnt whilst playing and learning at Explorers, and he has all the fun whilst doing so, the updates on the app show! Communication is perfect and the team are so welcoming and accommodating. 10/10 - highly recommend

The staff are amazing and always helpful. When my child had his settling period all staff were comforting towards him, which helped ease him into nursery. Highly recommend Explorers. Great nursery. The garden area is slightly small however having the park right outside is very beneficial.

Two of my three grandchildren attend Explorers with a third waiting to join when old enough. Our experiences have been so positive. Both grandchildren enjoy different activities, one is an avid craftier and the other loves the outdoors. Explorer's offers everything to suit the individual child. The
staff are always kind and welcoming and more importantly fun and the kids love them. In all the drop off's I have done not once has there been any reluctance from either grandchild to go in with a big excited smile on their faces. To me that says it all! Thank you!
Reply from Richelle Cook, Director at Explorers AveleyThank you for your review of the nursery. We are delighted that your family are having a positive experience with us. We are fortunate to have families return to us and that means a lot to us as a team.

I want to say thank you for the positive impact the nursery has had on my son over the past 3 years. I have observed significant growth in my child's confidence and development of knowledge. The nurturing approach of the staff has been invaluable and I truly appreciate that. Additionally, I am grateful
for the detailed reports regarding his activities and learning process including moments when accidents occur. The communication provides me with reassurance knowing that my child is in capable hands. Thank you for providing him with such an environment filled with love and care.

A very welcoming environment that has helped my daughter to grow confidently. The staff are very nurturing. My daughter loved every day going there and she learned a lot. What I loved was that they were always doing something outside at the park, the forest, the shops, horses and the local market. These
activities are brilliant for their little brains and encourage them.

I can't recommend Explorers Aveley enough! My little boy came on leaps and bounds and his speech and confidence came on so much whilst being there.
All the staff were lovely and responded to any queries quickly and also made sure measures were in place to make sure my child was safe in their care.

My daughter has attended for nearly 1 year and has enjoyed every day that she attends The range if activities they do are great everything is well planned out. Communication with parents is good as well sometimes thats one of the hardest points but staff always tell you about your childs day and upload
lots of piccys for parents to see overall would highly reccomend.

Both my child and I have had a great experience with Explorers Aveley. All the staff are extremely nice and organised. They know exactly what's going on with your child every day and any queries are answered ASAP. As a first-time mum, I was very hesitant at first when it came to nursery selection, but
Explorers Aveley was the perfect choice. My child has become very confident and looks forward to attending the nursery every day. My child loves all the variety of activities the nursery offers and has built a good friendship with all the staff and children.
Reply from Richelle Cook, Director at Explorers AveleyThank you for your review. We are very lucky to be able to take the children to the local park regularly and to visit the local shops and stalls.

I put my son in Explorers Nursery over a year ago, and can honestly say, it is the best nursery - he absolutely loved it. All the staff are so friendly and so helpful, the staff also take the children out to their local park or on little walks during the day, so they can explore the outdoors, which
I think is lovely. My son loved coming back and telling me all the fun he got up to whilst being here, the different activities they do, and he really enjoyed phonics day where they get to learn to sing and dance. Would definitely recommend this nursery to everyone with little ones. Absolutely amazing.
Reply from Richelle Cook, Director at Explorers AveleyThank you for your review. It is a real pleasure to know that your little one is having a great time and is sharing his news with you! The staff are great at planning exciting activities around the interests of the children and also taking the children out to the local fruit stall and the park is part of thier routine. It's great to hear that you are having a positive experience.

As a parent, it’s very daunting sending your little person to nursery. My child has been coming to Explorers for over a year, and what a year it has been.
The staff are absolutely amazing, and I can tell this with my beautiful daughter, she has come on leaps and bounds. She can count to 10, and she
is only 2 years old. The staff are fantastic at the job if that's what you call it, they are supportive and love the roles they do. My daughter runs into nursery happy, smiling and excited to be a part of her little school. Not only do they give great healthy meals - lunch, breakfast and snacks, they are so creative, and it says it in the name "Explore" everything through fun and creativity. I feel happy leaving my little baby in their care and know she is well looked after, safe, and most importantly, had a great time. Thank you, to Explorers, would highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking. Well done to all the staff, and a big thank you.
Reply from Richelle Cook, Director at Explorers AveleyThank you for your review. We are extremely pleased that the staff are recognised for thier efforts in making the children's day filled with good care and experiences to promote development. We like happy, smiling little ones!

Our daughter started nursery 2 years ago at Explorers Aveley and we couldn’t have asked for a better nursery. We know she’s in safe hands with people who love her so much and care for her welfare! Her teachers are so loving and take care of her dietary needs as she’s a fussy eater and her social/physical/mental
skills have come on tremendously. Highly recommend this nursery to all!
Reply from Richelle Cook, Director at Explorers AveleyThank you for your positive review. The team are very thoughtful with their curriculum and involves mindfulness for the children from a young age.

My youngest daughter went to this nursery for 2 years, and she thoroughly enjoyed it! The staff here are incredibly friendly and open to any quirks and individualities that your child (and their parents) brings to the nursery mix. I am an anxious mother and asked a million questions before she started
and requested all the considerations and they did everything they could to make me and my daughter feel at ease. They really took the time to nurture my child’s interests and are incredibly inclusive. We have moved from the area to be closer to our grandparents and the search for a new nursery has been made incredibly hard due to the high standard experience Explorers gave us. I’m still searching! I’d recommend Explorers to all without any hesitation. Thank you.
