Creative Explorers Day Nursery - Hornsey
from J B (Mother of Child) published on 16 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My twin daughters loved their time at Creative Explorers, which they attended for 2 years (from 1.5 to 3.5 years old). They formed close connections with their key workers and still talk about them fondly, especially Christel in their last pre-school room. I always felt that the girls were in safe hands

and well provided for - attentive and caring staff, stimulating and varied activities, great new resources, nutritious food. Communication was good and the nursery seemed well organised. An all round positive experience, for which we are very grateful.

Creative Explorers Pre-school - Crouch End
from Stella C (Mother of Child) published on 30 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Wonderful experience. From the very beginning I felt reassured that my child was being well cared for in a safe, nurturing and healthy environment. Creative Explorers quickly became an extension of our family and a real example of what community should look like. My child loved their time there, made

lifelong friends and felt happy and supported.
The trips, outdoor space, thoughtful activities, and special events all made her time there rich and memorable. I believe Creative Explorers gave our child a beautiful start in life and were good partners in raising a child who respects others, understands boundaries, knows the importance of sharing and learns with patience.
Thank you for the amazing years of care, guidance and support. We are already missing you so much!

from Sarah S (Mother of Child) published on 2 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Creative Explorers is just the best nursery, and I can't recommend it enough! From the very beginning, the nursery was exceptional at answering any questions we had and ensuring that we were well prepared for our daughter's first day in the baby room. I was anxious about my return to work but the brilliant

communication put me at ease. My daughter started with Creative Explorers at 9 months, and she is now coming up to her 2nd birthday. She is a happy, confident, inquisitive and caring little girl, and I am so grateful to all the staff at Creative Explorers for creating such a warm, engaging, and supportive environment for her to grow in. The staff know her so well as an individual, encouraging her interests and helping her develop socially, emotionally, and intellectually. We couldn't have wished for a better start to her early years, and we feel so lucky to be part of the Creative Explorers family.

Reply from Jodie Hedley, Parent Engagement Manager at Creative Explorers - HarringayThank you so much for your beautiful feedback. We are truly delighted to hear how much your daughter has thrived since joining Creative Explorers. It means so much to us that she is growing into a happy, confident, and curious little girl - that's exactly what we hope for every child in our care. The team will be so pleased to hear your kind words about the support, communication, and the individual attention we've given to your daughter. We're so glad that being part of the Creative Explorers family has given both you and her such a positive start to these important early years. We're very grateful you've shared this with us, and we look forward to keeping in touch with you all.

Overall Experience

From our very first visit we knew Creative Explorers was something special. We couldn't have wished for a more loving and supportive nursery for our little one. It's been incredible watching them grow in confidence, curiosity, and happiness in such a warm and joyful environment. The whole team feels

like an extension of our family, always going the extra mile to make each child feel valued and cared for. We're especially grateful to 4 of the ladies - such gifted practitioners who have made a lasting impact on our child's life. While our eldest has now moved up to the Preschool site, we're so pleased that our youngest will be starting in the Baby Room later this year - we couldn't imagine them going anywhere else.

Our daughter started at Creative Explorers in Oct 2023, aged almost 3, and is now leaving for school having absolutely thrived. She's loved the outdoor area, Nature Day on Tuesdays, and the many thoughtful trips, from local adventures to the Science and Natural History Museums. The caring staff have

nurtured her curiosity and confidence. The management team have been brilliant, always supportive and responsive. We're grateful too to the chef, who has gone above and beyond to provide safe, delicious food for her coeliac needs. Creative Explorers has been a warm, inspiring, and safe place for our daughter to flourish - we will miss it so much!

Overall Experience

My son loves Creative Explorers. The staff are wonderful and he's come on leaps and bounds in their care. In the toddler room the ladies went above and beyond every day. Now he's thriving in the pre-school, with all the brilliant staff. He loves library club, sports club and playing in the amazing garden,

as well as the trips around the local area. With the sports days, summer parties and other events that the team put on, Creative Explorers feels like a real community.

Reply from Jodie Hedley, Parent Engagement Manager at Creative Explorers Nursery - Crouch EndThank you so much for your wonderful feedback. We're delighted to hear how much your son is enjoying his time with us and thriving as he's moved through the rooms.

Creative Explorers went above and beyond with their summer party. Plenty of thought went into this event with play areas for all age groups, keeping the children entertained. The food and drinks were amazing. We cannot thank you enough for inviting us to such a cool party. My little one has grown so

much as one of the explorers at the school and he will miss the staff dearly. You have made a big impact on his life and will never be forgotten.

Overall Experience

My son loves going to nursery, but the two things I would love to see more is for them to have more nature experience and for the food to be organic specially fruited a veggies. Other than that, you're doing a great work.

Reply from Jodie Hedley, Parent Engagement Manager at Creative Explorers Day Nursery - HornseyThank you for your feedback.We're delighted to hear that your son loves attending nursery - I can see that from his smile everyday.I wanted to clarify a couple of points from your review, all of our children go outside every single day, and many of our branches also have dedicated nature days, where children spend the entirety of the day outdoors exploring and learning. I wonder if your comment does not fully reflect the experiences of all our families so if you'd like to learn more, please do feel free to contact me. Regarding food, we always try to use organic ingredients wherever possible. However, we do not actively promote this, as supply issues can sometimes prevent us from providing 100% organic meals at all times as that may lead to disappointment. I would welcome you into our kitchen to discuss this with our chef so they can clarify just how much of our produce is fresh and organic. We appreciate your feedback and would like the opportunity to clarify things for you!

Overall Experience

I can honestly say that choosing Creative Explorers has been one of the best decisions we've ever made for our son. From the moment we first stepped through the doors, we were struck by how warm, welcoming and full of life the setting is - and our experience since then has only reinforced that first

impression tenfold.

The staff are nothing short of extraordinary. Every single team member we've met has shown a genuine love for what they do, and it shines through in the way they care for and engage with the children. Our son loves all the teachers & adores his key worker, he beams when he sees them. It's not just childcare - it's a second home, filled with laughter, creativity, and nurturing support.

One of the things I've been most impressed by is how well the team know him as an individual. They've taken the time to understand his little quirks, his interests, and his needs - and they tailor his experiences so thoughtfully. Whether it's sensory play or outdoor adventures.

Reply from Jodie Hedley, Parent Engagement Manager at Creative Explorers - HarringayThank you so much for your kind words. Were absolutely delighted that Creative Explorers has been such a positive experience for your family. Its wonderful to hear how happy your son is and how connected he feels to his key worker and the team, that sense of belonging is exactly what we strive for! Were so glad you feel supported and that his individual needs and personality are truly seen and celebrated. Thank you for being such a valued part of our community.
