Overall I like the fact that my child attends here. The staff (including all groups) Have been nothing but friendly, professional and always make me feel assured regarding any matter that may occur in my child's well being and education/play.
My child is in their second year here now, and they have enjoyed their experience so far. I would recommend any other parent that lives within in the community to take their child to Explorers.
My only critique would be on very rare occasions a lack of communication may happen on the parent mobile app. Which in our experience the occasions have not been serious.
I'm also glad that being able to leave a review and rating to an organisation which will ensure that children's safety and well being are being monitored.
From a happy parent :)

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.

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.

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!

Providing a holistic, nurturing environment where every child can thrive is at the heart of what we do, and it's lovely to know that this has made such a positive difference for your family.
Sarah and the whole team truly appreciate your feedback and continued trust in us. It's a joy to see your boys grow in confidence, curiosity, and happiness each day!

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.

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.

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 positive experience and your little one is enjoying his time with us.

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!
We moved our child from a different nursery as he didn't settle there (for 18 months!) and I just wish we would have moved him sooner. Previously he wouldn't entertain a conversation about nursery, cried at every drop-off and stood with his head down at pick-up. Here he walks straight in, doesn't...
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 extremely lucky to have a dedicated manager who has developed positive relationships with our families - hopefully making it feel 'home from home' for the children.
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...

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.
