Thank you for your lovely review. We are delighted to hear that your child enjoys coming to nursery and feels happy with us!
My son is in special needs, nonverbal, still in nappies, and I know very well that their job is not easy at all. He often has a lot of meltdowns that are very hard to manage, but the patience, love, and dedication of the staff have been extraordinary. They have always been right by his side, making sure he is safe and well. I am incredibly grateful to you for giving him the chance to be included with the other children and to feel so happy.
This nursery is not just a daycare, it is a second family to us. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you do.
Thank you for your truly heartfelt review and thank you for your trust, support and appreciation-it is a privilege to be part of your family's journey.
The nursery is really good with my child she gets well looked after i give them a 5/5 star rating would defintely 100% recommend this nursery to any parent in need of a really good nursery to put their child in.
so welcome and reassured us he was in good hands.
Our son has been attending for 4 months now and never wants to leave . They have a wide range of different activities throughout the day. A large selection of toys and books and a warm and comfortable environment.
A wide range of homemade food options go down a treat with our son
All the girls in the baby room provide regular updates and are brilliant and engaging and every morning when he see Chloe he gets so excited which is so nice to see providing us with relief leaving him for the day .Emma, Teds key worker goes above and beyond her role keeping us updated on his development and reassures us he is developing well.
The nursery has stay and play sessions where we can see the environment which have been brilliant and so nice to him and the staff bonding .
We are so glad we picked this nursery.
My child is in the baby group and is delighted to attend every morning to the nursery. Activities are amazing and help developing my baby skills so much. I'm so grateful for all amazing staff who is passionate about delivering the best service! Fully recommend it to everyone!
So happy we sent Teddy to this nursury the girls have been nothing short of amazing for him.
Teddys first day he was upset leaving us for the first time but after 2-3 days in the nursury he's waving us off with a smile on his face going in which just shows how happy he is being there. Thanks to all the staff at the nursury 10/10.
Our boy absolutely loves going to nursery. All the staff and management are so friendly and professional in everyway. I feel at ease when handing over our son as I know he will be cared for 100%. The amount of activitys the children have keep them busy and this also helps are son with his motor skills. I can see a difference in our boy already with the way he's able to stand for longer periods and walk easier from one couch to the other.
What can I say. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone. I have two little boys that go here and the service I have received is excellent.
As a teacher, when I initially looked for nurseries I was very fussy and was looking for somewhere with a holistic approach. This nursery does this all and has supported both my children to develop well.
The manager (Sarah) also breaks over backwards to accommodate both my sons and has recommended things to support both my boys in accessing the best quality provision.
Both my boys really enjoy going to nursery and are happy to walk in the door. They receive a great mix of quality provision, freshly cooked meals as well as support with their emotions.
I would highly recommend this nursery!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review and kind words. We're absolutely delighted to hear how happy your boys are at the nursery and that you've felt so well supported by our team. Providing a holistic, nurturing environment where every child can thrive is at the heart of what we do, and it's...
My daughter has attended the nursery for just under a year and it has been the most rewarding time seeing her do all new things which she has learnt in nursery and all the friends which she has made.
The nursery as a whole including staff is beyond amazing. All the staff are welcoming and amazing with the children.
My little boy started explorers January 2025 and will be leaving end of August 2025.
He will be really sad to leave and miss all his teachers and Friends. The relationships he has built with all his teachers and the manger of such a short time has been amazing and to help him grow, to get him ready for big school.
The nursery is very active on the app keeping us posted on food, activities, learning journal, events, accidents etc.this puts your mind at ease once dropping them off for the day. If feels like a safe environment especially the front door system that they have works very well.
The communication between staff and parents I feel is very efficient too. Staff work with you and your child in so many ways it's been so lovely to form relationships with the staff. Can't thank them enough.
I am currently pregnant and will be hoping to enrol my new baby some day, couldn't recommend the nursery enough.
I am well pleased with the school, honestly. The management are so friendly and nice. My children love going to school and I see improvements on a daily basis. I so much appreciate the app. It is one of a kind. Explorers Day Nursery Bootle is simply the best. God bless the manager and staff. Greater heights.
Thank you for your review. We are pleased that you can see your child developing and having a positive experience with the staff. We know that parents like the app to engage with the team and see what the children are experiencing while they are with us.
Our little boy looks forward to going to his sessions.
They send regular updates with regard to his progression and daily updates with regard to what he has eaten/slept/nappy changed.
They often have special events on eg Halloween and Christmas.
Personally experienced a few difficulties with the app.
I am glad to hear that you are having a positive experience with our team and that the environment is safe for children and staff at Explorers. The app is a great way to keep up to date on your child's day whilst they are with us. If you have any issues with the app please let your nursery manager know so we can help you get the most out of it.
I am so happy with everything the nursery does with my child, I feel like he is better off for going here.
The nursery staff really support his funny little adventurous personality and he seems to thrive. They have really helped him with his social interactions too and have helped him become a kind and caring boy.
They keep parents updated with what we can help at home with and what he is doing well in learning. All of his friends seem to be kind too based on the lovely stories he tells me on the way home.
He always wants to go to nursery even on the weekend so it must be a good place to be. I feel like I could discuss anything with the staff and they are really supportive in my tough times. They have taught me parenting tricks that have really helped too at home.
If you are reading this and wondering where to send your child, you will be safe and glad with your decision to send your child here.
Thank you for your touching review of the nursery. I know that the staff go the extra mile to help build supportive relationships with parents and to work in partnership and it's wonderful to read that it is your experience with the team. I am delighted that you and your child are having such a...
The staff are really lovely and can't thank them enough for all their hard work.
Would definitely recommend this nursery.
Thank you for your review. It is so pleasing to hear that your daughter is developing well since coming to the nursery. We are very lucky to have caring and dedicated staff who put the children first. Thank you for your recommendation!
The staff are always smiley and welcoming and all seem to know my child regardless if they are a regular in his room or not.
He loves the outdoor space, which I know he spends a lot of time in, and also enjoys the loan library.
The manager is always approachable and communicates promptly to queries. She's flexible and seems to go the extra mile to help out if she can.
We really appreciate the added extras (which are communicated in advance to make arrangements) like Halloween and Christmas events and the pumpkin carving competition. These things integrate Explorers into home life and vice versa.
Thank you for your review! It is really great to hear that your little one has settled well with us. We are extremely lucky to have a wonderful and caring team who know the children. We know how important it is to drop your child off and know that they are happy during their time with us. We are...
The nursery and all its staff are absolutely lovely. My son loves going. Walks in with a smile on his face and comes out the same. The food they provide is gorgeous. If they are hungry they without question get 2nd helpings. He's come a long loads since being there in September. Would recommend it to anyone.
Thank you for your review! Our chef will be pleased that her hard work to provide healthy food has been mentioned! I am pleased to hear your son is enjoying coming in to nursery and it means a lot to know you would recommend us to others!
10/10 for cleanliness.
10/10 for all the staff.
10/10 for the support.
10/10 for the safety.
Would highly recommend to everyone who's second-guessing on the right nursery for any child this is the one!
Thank you for your great review! It is really important to us to know that parents would recommend the nursery to others - it's a lovely compliment and a sign the team are doing something right!
My first daughter went to this nursery and changed into a completely different child (good of course), her speech and her development changed in so many ways, so when my second daughter turned two last June (2023), I decided to put her in here too, and even her speech is amazing and she has also changed in so many ways, so I’d like to thank this nursery.
We are pleased that you can see progress in your childs development. The staff plan some lovely activities and interact with the children to promote language. Thank you for your review.
Really happy with the changes at the nursery. All the staff are also really nice. My 2-year-old daughter loves going here; she has come on so much, and they have really helped a lot with her speech, so thank you very much to you all.
It is great to hear that you are happy with the nursery especially the staff. We are lucky to have a great team who care for the children and intract with them through different activities they plan each day.
My daughter started in November/December 2023, and I was so nervous about going back to work - she’s now a year old, and the staff have done a wonderful job with my daughter, keeping her development going. She loves them and she goes in without an issue; they know her so well, and I feel like I’m giving her to trusted people. The manager and two other members of staff have been fantastic at keeping her on track with milestones, and she’s come home with more skills than I’d hoped. She definitely learns and explores in the nursery, and they’ve been supportive of me as a parent with fantastic communication. I’m so glad I chose Explorers. I even love what they feed her, it’s a variety, and they keep it healthy for her. I’m so pleased with Explorers - five stars. Thank you to the other staff who’ve been great with my daughter too.
Thank you for your review. We know how important it is for parents to be able to see what thier child has been doing whilst at nursery and it is a great tool to see real time updates. We reviewed our menus recently to intorduce more healthy options and offer more variety. The staff are very caring...
