Little Explorers

My son needed some extra support transitioning into nursery when he first started and the staff were fantastic at meeting his needs.

Big shout out to Sam, Kira, Sophie and Vicky. My child loves them!

The team take the time to get to know each child and tailor their approach to their needs. They focus on fun and learning and make sure the children are school ready in the pre school room. They love them like they are their own

I moved my son to this nursery after an unsettling environment at his last nursery and he has been welcomed with kindness from all the staff. You know your child loves nursery when they go in with a smile and a big wave - emotions he never displayed at his old nursery. Within a week of my son being here, his communication has seen a massive leap which is due to the staff positively engaging with the children.

This places costs a little more than local nurseries, but well worth it to know your child is being looked after well.

My child enjoys going to nursery, since being at Little Explorers we never have tears about going in, which speaks volumes to me. They are very good at posting Daily Dairies and Observations. It's really lovely to see how he is progressing while he is there. The staff all seem caring and professional and look after the children well, knowing their little personalities and support them to reach their goals.

It's so much more than a nursery-it's a community that truly supports both children and parents.

We are so grateful for the wonderful experience our child has had. From the very beginning, the staff have shown such warmth, professionalism, and genuine care. It's been amazing to watch our child grow in confidence, curiosity, and independence during their time here.The nurturing environment has made every drop-off easy, knowing they were in safe, loving hands.The team go above and beyond to make each child feel valued, heard, and encouraged. Whether through creative play, outdoor learning, or early literacy and numeracy activities, every day has been engaging and enriching.Communication has always been excellent, with regular updates, photos, and support that have made us feel truly involved in our child's development. We've especially appreciated how individual needs are respected, and how positive relationships have been built not only with the children, but with families too.Saying goodbye is emotional, but we leave with such fond memories and immense gratitude. Thankyou!!

My son is now is toddler Room and is continuing to thrive thanks to all their hard work, dedication, love and care they show each and everyone of the children. It's a beautiful nursery and I feel more than happy when I drop him off in the mornings.

This nursery is a refreshing change from large, corporate-style nurseries. It has a warm, family-like atmosphere, thanks to its dedicated, long-standing staff. The team consistently goes above and beyond, making me feel heard, valued, and never rushed when discussing my child's needs.

My daughter is currently in the toddler room with a member of staff, who was also at the nursery when my now eight-year-old attended. She is an incredible asset to the team, always making me feel that she is just as invested in my child's happiness and development as I am. My daughter absolutely adores her and all the other staff.

The nursery's managers work tirelessly to create an environment where children can be happy and thrive. Despite them being busy, they always take the time to talk with both me and my daughter.

This nursery has given my sons a strong foundation for school, and I have no doubt it will do the same for my daughter. I couldn't be happier with the care and support they provide.

Excellent, attentive, great early feedback. In the short time our daughter has been there she has really flourished. They have made great efforts to get to know her and adapted their care for her.

The team at Little Explorers are just so wonderful! They have always gone above and beyond to support and develop our little one. They are very knowledgeable and experienced. They have a wonderful rapport with the children which reassured us from day one. They are by far the best nursery we have sent our daughter to and greatly deserve the 'Outstanding' grading from Ofsted. Thank you!

Little Explorers has genuinely been a revelation for both of my children. They love it and thrive there - this is down to the incredibly hard-working, nurturing staff. They make miracles happen everyday.

We found Little Explorers after a false start with another nursery. From day one, it's been an exceptional experience all around. The induction was brilliant, my son was happy and I was left feeling confident that he would be safe and well cared for. The senior staff know all the children by name and are happy to stop and have a chat and I love that so many staff across all the rooms are involved in the children's care. My son is quite full-on for his age and I've appreciated the ongoing conversation with the team about ways to manage various behaviours. His social skills, motor skills, problem-solving and communication have all developed noticeably as a result of the support he has had at Little Explorers. The team have gone out of their way to accommodate us when I've needed additional hours at short notice (they can't always do this, but have been very helpful). We are absolutely delighted to have found Little Explorers and consider ourselves very lucky to have a place here.

I would recommend Little Explorers 100%.

Our child is very happy there.

Outstanding nursery. A wonderful family feel, both of my daughters flourished here. The team made great headway with their development and ensured they were nurtured in a caring environment. Would highly recommend.

My son has been at Little Explorers for over a year now and he has been very happy there. I have found the staff to be wonderful, energetic, friendly and very accommodating. They have worked well with me on any special requests that we may be working on at home. And offer me great support and advice when I have asked. My son has thrived there and I think there is a great balance of learning and playing and especially playing outside.

I love the little extras that happen there, like Christmas concerts, sports days and Easter parade. I don't know many other nursery's that do that. It makes the parents feel included and great that the kids have a big group project to work on.

I can tell that he feels very loved at school, and I trust the teachers completely. I will be very sad to be moving on to big school later this year.

Our previous reviews for this nursery have always been exceptionally positive, with little or no cause for suggestions for improvement. Sadly, since the new ownership we feel there has been a significant drop in the quality of administrative communication from the office - i.e. numerous emails not being responded to. We were also not informed that our child was being introduced to pre-school and only found out weeks later. Also, not having a sports day, particularly after such a difficult couple of years and missing out on so much already, simply because the staff have too much admin work to do now is unacceptable. Despite the many negatives now, we feel the practitioners continue to be hard-working, committed and interested in the development of our child. We also previously really liked the app and being able to share photographs and experiences of our child that the practitioners showed an interest in. This has never been suggested or encouraged since the change.

Amazing nursery. My husband and I have been so happy with the staff, great facilities and excellent care for my child. My boy is so happy there. I cannot recommend you enough. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming.

Our daughter absolutely loves attending the nursery. In the mornings she literally runs from the gate towards the nursery staff. The entire staff is extremely attentive, caring and polite. They always provide us with a detailed overview of our little one's day. I am amazed by the various structured, interesting and educational activities they provide on a daily basis. The space they have is used in the best way possible. The other most impressive thing is they have a kitchen and provide freshly cooked food - something we never had with my other child's nursery and I had to bring cooked meals which then would get microwaved - something which I am really not fond of not to mention the option of dry sandwiches. The cleanliness - is beyond amazing! Support with initially changing nappies and subsequently toilet training - amazing! Thank you!
