Amazing nursery. I have had my twins at this nursery since they were very little. The nursery has supported us throughout their development with how to help them progress. They communicate with us very well about the childrens day and what they've enjoyed doing. I always feel comfortable asking questions to the staff. The staff are lovely and caring and very, very approachable. Highly recommend this nursery!
My daughter is in the toddler room, which she loves, and has developed her speech a lot. I love the online app that shows me my child's day, and all the staff are lovely and always do activities to include the parents.
I would recommend this nursery. My daughter has been going here for over a year now, and she is developing very well with all the support the staff give her. She loves to go, she goes straight in without crying, and she loves all the staff there. So glad I put my child into this nursery.
My daughter was 9 months old when she started Young Explorers; she's now almost 11 months and absolutely loves it! The lovely staff helping her to settle in so well has made the anxiety of going back to work after maternity so much better. Apart from the odd day, she absolutely beams at whoever answers the door to take her inside, and you can see how excited she is to start playing. I'm always checking the app to see what she's eating, etc, and I love seeing photos of all the fun she's having! I would recommend this nursery to anyone; seeing how happy it's made my daughter spending time there is amazing.
Staff are always friendly and welcoming. My eldest child has loved every minute at Young Explorers, especially with one lady. My youngest is starting full-time next week after plenty of settling-in sessions to make sure she is settled. Overall, a wonderful setting where as parents, we feel comfortable leaving the children. Any queries we have had have always been answered quickly and effectively.
Wonderful nursery. All staff are very helpful. The new app has been created to help with communication where we are updated daily, pictures are shown of the activities of the children, and we also get all invoices through here. Nothing is too much trouble, and my little boy has been there for nearly two years and loves it.
Young Explorers is an exceptional nursery. They're amazing with my son; it really helped him come out of his shell and gain confidence! Their setting is beautiful and so relaxed! They have great communication and are always willing to help with any of my son's needs.
My little boy loves this nursery, which makes me feel he is being well cared for whilst I'm working. Always fabulous, friendly staff, and I feel they try to go the extra mile to ensure myself and my little boy are happy.
My children have been attending since April, and they love it. My daughter had severe separation anxiety, and the staff here dealt with this amazingly well. My daughter now really looks forward to going to nursery and always comes out smiling and can't wait to tell me what she has been doing that day. My son is in the baby room, so can't tell me anything yet, but he seems to love it too. The staff are brilliant at picking up when the children are unwell or need extra support in certain areas. I don't have anything bad to say. The toys are amazing, the activities are very well thought out, and I would recommend the nursery to anyone needing a place for their child.
Our little one has settled in amazingly and come on leaps and bounds since starting. She loves all the staff and happily goes in without a fuss. We get regular updates on the app with pictures of activities, and that really helps reassure us that she's okay! We are so happy with the nursery and everything they do to aid in our child's development. We would recommend to anyone.
The staff are excellent at handling children and very friendly to parents. They take their duties and responsibilities with kindness and empathy. The food is good, and you can tell my child is happy there. I will recommend your nursery to anyone who wants a place for their children without a doubt. All queries are handled with the utmost sincerity and openness. I will rate this nursery with not less than four stars and some five stars as well.
My daughter started nursing in April this year. Due to my daughter being a lockdown baby, she was very shy, emotional and quiet at the beginning of the first few months. The staff welcomed my daughter with open arms, and they supported my daughter on a daily basis, giving her so much conform and myslef when I felt emotional. Since April, my daughter has come such a lobe way with her words and singing and her knowledge has come on stronger than ever. My daughter now looks forward to her bedtime storybook from nursery and sits down and tells me that she's going to go to nursery and make new friends. The nursery reassures me with pictures, messages and phone calls. I appreciate each and every member of staff that make the effort to support my daughter on a daily basis.
After having my childminders closed down by Ofsted, I was left with no childcare. I had to look around and try and find childcare asap. I looked at several nurseries and just felt they weren’t right. I called up Young Explorers and explained my situation, they invited me up the same day with my little girl, I had a look around, and we both loved it. They had my little girl for some stay and play sessions, and she was able to start the following week, she’s settled in so well and loves all the children and staff. I thought she was advanced for her age already, but even after a short stay here, she seems even more advanced, having not been in a nursery setting before, I was apprehensive as to how she would go in and settle, but she literally walks in happily and comes home telling us how much fun she has had. Lots of fun activities that include the family too. Couldn’t praise the nursery enough and will recommend to everyone who needs childcare. Thanks for doing an amazing job guys!
I'm happy that my little girl is happy at the nursery She is always happy to go and meet the children and the teachers. She always came and said happily what activities they did. I am satisfied with the care shown by the staff.
Not only do they do a great job looking after my son, they understand that I’m a stressy mum and always keep me informed, happy to answer any questions and have been understanding when I have been struggling with childcare.
My son is 3-years-old, and he loves this nursery. Can recommend it to anyone with confidence. My child loves to go to the nursery, every day he asks me if we can go to the children! The personal is very friendly too!
My son has been going to the nursery since he was 10-months-old and even though he only goes once a week, every week he goes straight in with the girls and doesn’t look back! I love the app that they have recently switched to showing photos and updates of what is happening each day, and it’s clear the children are very loved and happy! Would highly recommend it!
He loves his nursery days!
I'd definitely recommend this place 100%.
Highly recommend Young Explorers Childcare to everyone who is looking for a private nursery. The staff are amazing and so friendly! Help to meet all needs that your children may have and help to bring their development on massively!
