My son has been attending Young Explorers since he was 11-months-old. He's now nearly 3. The care he has received for the past 2-years has been so personal and individual to his needs. He's not only looked after, he's educated, cared for and loved. We couldn't ask for better people to be part of our son's life.
The facilities are great, and I know I can talk to staff if I have concerns regarding my son.
I’d very highly recommend it.
He has nutritious meals and snacks whilst there.
They do lots of activities which he really enjoys.
Every time I’ve collected her, she’s loved every minute of being there.
It’s even better now I can see her daily progress in the new app they have for parents.
Staff are very friendly and approachable. My daughter comes home with a wealth of knowledge and has really had a fantastic enabling environment at her preschool to allow her to blossom. Activities and toys are tailored to children’s interests to ensure learning is fun. Food provided for the children is always healthy but yummy; even my fussy eater will eat it. Overall, a very pleasant and great place to send your little ones
This nursery has been fantastic from the very start. Our daughter has been poorly on and off with her tonsils for over 12-months, the staff have been amazing and very supportive. The staff are very helpful and fully committed to supporting the children. I would 100% recommend this nursery to all of my family and friends. I honestly wish I had found them sooner, so my older children could have attended here.
My daughter has been attending Young Explorers for a couple of years now. She started in the baby room and is now in preschool. I have always liked the staff and the way that the nursery is run. She really enjoys going. We had a few issues this time with her moving from the toddler room to the preschool room, which I think was because she was so settled and had a really good bond with her previous key worker. The staff have been really good with her and helped her settle into the new room, and I feel they have invested a lot of time and effort into making her feel welcome. She is now forming bonds with the staff and children there. Was lovely to see her skipping out this week saying she had a lovely day. Lovely nursery. Would definitely recommend it.
I currently have a daughter that attends Young Explorers, and my eldest daughter also attended until she was three. My younger brother and sister also attended this nursery, and my nephew now also attends too. I have equally had friends bring their children to the nursery. With the amount of people I know to come through this nursery should speak for itself. The staff are amazing and make you feel safe and comfortable in leaving your children with them. And to say my daughters have thrived in their care would be an understatement. They have come so far in their learning with a huge credit of that from going to Explorers. I highly recommend this nursery to anyone needing childcare.
My daughter struggled to settle in the nursery; she was really upset when I used to leave her. Even though it took her a while to settle, the staff persevered with her and were always friendly, professional and welcoming. She loves coming to nursery now and asks when can she go.
My son has gone here for 7-months roughly; he loves coming here every day. Every day he comes home with a huge smile on his face telling me about the fantastic day he’s had whilst being at nursery! I would 100% recommend this nursery to any parent who feels scared to let their child go to nursery. They keep you up to date with everything on the app, tell you about the child’s day and make you feel at ease. Since going to this nursery, my son's development has increased massively, and his speech is amazing.
Both of my children have used Young Explores, and I have never had any problems regarding either of them. Both of my children loved going here, and the staff are always helpful and friendly. This is a fantastic nursery.
We just love and trust Young Explorers Childcare, and we are so happy with our choice.
The nursery has been very helpful in the development of my child. Friendly staff, who have created a home away from home for the children and pay good attention to their individual needs. My child is now confident to communicate with others. Thank you to every staff member who has created this family-friendly atmosphere for the kids and parents.
My daughter attended this nursery some years ago and absolutely loved it - now my son has started. The nursery staff are always so friendly and helpful and make learning and development fun. They do so many different activities for the kids, and it’s lovely to see through the app. Highly recommended!
Fantastic nursery; very glad I decided to send my child there. They treat every child definitely in regards to learning and don’t force others to progress on to something before fully understanding the task.
My little boy has been going to this nursery since he was 8-months-old. They have always done a great job with him. If we have any worries they were always hands on to sort. My little boy is now in preschool, and he'll be getting ready for school next year; it will break my heart when he has to leave. He's made so many friends and always talks about his days at nursery. Sometimes he doesn't want to go, but once he's there, he doesn't want to leave.
Can’t fault the nursery or the staff. Always do the best for the children, and the nursery itself is a beautiful environment, and my son always enjoys going and is excited to attend every day. The facilities and learning are great, and my son has come on leaps and bounds since attending the nursery. Would highly recommend this nursery to anyone with younger children.
Couldn’t wish for a better nursery for my boy. He loves it, and the staff and facilities are brilliant! He has been going since he was 9-months-old, and he is a little star of the nursery, from what I have been told. Couldn't wish for a better place for him to go!
My child has attended this nursery since 2015. With a busy and hectic lifestyle like many parents, Young Explorers have always gone out of their way to cater for me and my child. Nothing is too much hassle, clean and friendly environment, and very much reliable and trustworthy staff. I feel more at ease knowing my child is looked after and safe there, and although there can be cheaper child care options elsewhere, the price for the services are fantastic. Special shout out to the after school staff, who are absolutely excellent, and as for one lady, she has always looked after us and made sure everything is ok. The new owner I have had a few dealings with already and can honestly say I'm very impressed with her rapid response and actions whenever I've needed help or any question's... thanks!
Highly recommend!
I shall be sending my second son to this nursery!
Young Explorers staff are amazing with my little girl. They have brought her on so much. She could hardly talk when she first started here, and now she is thriving in every way. She absolutely loves going to nursery now! Always so excited to play with her friends and see all the staff that take care of her. Fantastic nursery; would definitely recommend it!
