Little Explorers is a Grade 2 nursery, that provides childcare for children aged birth to 11 years, through its nursery, breakfast, after school and holiday clubs.
Situated in the knowledge quarter of Liverpool’s busy city centre, the nursery is accessible by car, bus and train. An ample car park means that there is no rush when dropping off or picking up.
With a holistic approach to child development, staff ensure that children are encouraged and supported to develop as a 'whole person' with varied interests and respect for others and their different backgrounds.
The menu is vegetarian and is cooked daily by the cook on-site. Children can bring in a packed lunch if preferred or lunches can be bought on a daily basis.
The children's play area is secure and wraps around three sides of the building offering excellent physical play and creative opportunities, especially in the mud kitchen. There are planting beds, giving children the experience of growing their own food and then cooking and eating it.
Inside the nursery, physical opportunities come from a range or areas including the large soft play area that is available for all children to use and access each week. Quieter time may also be enjoyed within the sensory room, with calming lights, must and natural malleable materials.
Little Explorers offers a safe, supportive, caring, interesting and fun environment. The service prides itself on its cultural diversity, with children attending from around the world, as their parent's study or work at the nearby universities and businesses.
Staff are qualified to various levels from degrees in early years education right down to staff starting a career in childcare undertaking Level 2 qualifications.

My child has attended Little Explorers day nursery since she was 12 months and she is now nearly two-years-old. She absolutely loves going to nursery and adores two particular members of staff. They are a credit to Little Explorers and both go above and beyond with making a fuss of your child, helping them to settle and also interacting and learning new things. My child has gone from crawling to running and jumping and is extremely confident in doing so. She also learnt some letters from the alphabet, counting up to six, lots of songs and her vocabulary is great. I feel Little Explorers and the staff have had a great impact on her development. Thank you to the manager and the great staff in both micro and mini rooms.

An absolute gem of the nurseries with absolutely brilliant staff. The activities, child development, learning, playing, literally everything is great here. You literally won't find anything better than this place anywhere near. It's very very clean, the food is good. The manager will help you with any question and will always keep in mind what your child's preferences are. Thanks for everything.
P.S. She also likes chocolates.

Little Explorers nursery is the best nursery for us in Liverpool. I want to find a safe and happy place for my 2 year old little boy when I am working.
I contacted many nurseries before and my boy has changed 2 nurseries before coming here. Little Explorers is really a good choice, staff here are very warm-hearted and patient to kids, they help me to do toilet training and teach my boy English, now my boy can speak some English sentences and sing English songs (we are from China, my boy's native language is not English). Meanwhile, he learns to be polite to other people. We really appreciate their care and help with my boy.

This nursery is shockingly magnificent. People are nice and always shine with a smile, kids are taught proper manners and the most comfortable price in the neighbourhood! A sterile clean area, weekly supply of goodies from local supermarkets for kids and parents, events and expeditions - it all will make your child happy. Little Explorers caretakers and managing staff with brilliant managers will always make sure your baby will feel happy, fed and entertained! I must not miss out the fact that with their meat-free policy of meals, kids always receive proper food and nutrition provided by their very own kitchen (approved as a trained and qualified chef).
I cannot thank staff enough for minding my daughter. She is always happy to go there and never sad when I pick her up to go home. Please, value people that work there - they are the real people around here.

My daughter has been attending Little Explorers since April 2018. I absolutely love it and so does my daughter! The staff are amazing. The learning and care she received are outstanding. As well as the nursery nurses being brilliant, the management and admin team are also so lovely too. The menu is really good and gets her to try food I wouldn't think of giving her at home. Overall I am pleased with my decision to put my daughter in the care of Little Explorers. I never have to worry about her care.

From the moment we viewed this nursery we knew our son would be happy and safe. Like all kids, he took a couple of weeks to settle into the routine but was supported and made very welcome by the amazing staff. He has thrived over the year and a half he has been there and as a result is a very confident, sociable and happy little boy.
Many thanks to the fabulous staff for helping make him who he is today.

My child previously attended childminders and I was very unhappy. I moved him to the nursery (Little Explorers) and he has progressed so much. Staff are very pleasant and understanding, always caring and making sure he gets the best out of every day.
