Explorers Nursery at QE

My son has attended Queen's Kindergarten since he was just under a year- he absolutely loved it and the staff make it like a second home. He’s always happy and the updates during the day show just how much fun they get up to!

We are thrilled with our experience at Queen's Kindergarten. The space is incredible, the facilities are beautiful, but it's the staff that make it so special. They are all so fantastic with my daughter and make her time fun, educational and varied. We are so happy with the care they provide.

Our little boy started at Queen's Kindergarten when he was 11 months old. I searched high and low for somewhere that I was happy to send him and that looked like a happy, colourful environment for him and the minute I met the amazing ladies at Queen's, I was sold. He has come on leaps and bounds since being there - he is so much more confident and loves going there two days per week. The staff are genuinely the most caring and compassionate ladies - I feel completely at ease leaving my son in their care and we receive lots of wonderful photos and updates throughout the day. I couldn't recommend it more highly.

We moved our son to Queen's Kindergarten in January of this year. He settled quickly and is still super happy to go. The staff are amazing and we are kept up to date on his progress. The daily updates and photos are great. The outdoor and indoor space the children have is amazing. My son recently had a stay in hospital and the staff have been nothing but accommodating and have gone out of their way to get him back to nursery and ensure the environment met his temporary needs. I was sceptical about nursery as a whole but Queen's Kindergarten has put any doubts I had to bed and I could not recommend them enough.

Our son started at Queen's Kindergarten, at 8 months old and even though it was only for one day per week at first, we could immediately see a surge in his development. His general confidence and curiosity to explore in new surroundings improved and this is undoubtedly due to the care and stimulation provided by the staff. Our regular updates (online and in person) are so reassuring and informative. I was so worried about him starting nursery at that young age, but he really loves it, in fact, he hasn't cried once when dropping him off! Very impressed and I'd certainly recommend.

Honestly, a fabulous nursery. My little girl has progressed unimaginably over the last nine months of being there. The staff are the most kind, happy and caring team. My little girl smiling and reaching out for them every morning, makes me so happy to drop her off. The activities they do are so exciting and interactive, all age appropriate and I love how there are monthly themes to their learning, even from such a young age. The location and facilities are fabulous. I love how they can go for safe walks around the main school facilities, to see all the nature in the area and occasionally use the pool (an activity my daughter loved!) The lunches look so nutritious. The staff are all so attentive to my daughter's needs, it really makes going to work so much easier knowing your child is being cared for by such an amazing team. I couldn't recommend the kindergarten enough!

My daughter has been at Queens Kindergarten for eight months and has loved it throughout. She settled really quickly and it was clear the staff really understood her - what she liked, didn’t like, what she was good at and the things she struggled with. She is my youngest so we have settled children into a lot of nurseries before and this has been the best experience by far!

Wonderful nursery with amazing staff who look after the children very well. My son attended three years ago and now his younger sister is enjoying attending. My daughter is very happy to go in each day and always comes away very happy too. The staff know her well and set up tasks to suit her interests.

My son has been attending Queen's Kindergarten for the last year since he was eight months old. He has flourished in their care and he is so happy to see them every morning at drop-off. All the staff are incredibly friendly, attentive and competent and the food, facilities and activities are second to none. We receive daily updates through the Tapestry app which provides a lovely window into his day and allows for interaction with the nursery staff too. I would highly recommend this Kindergarten to anyone!

The Kindergarten team are warm, welcoming and give my son lots of opportunity to grow and develop in a structured environment where he has clear direction, can socialise and learn social rules and expectations. He is excited every day to attend, which says it all.

Our daughter has been going to Queen's Kindergarten for six months and we’ve noticed a massive improvement in her social, language and motor skills. She is very happy when we drop her off and we get regular updates about her daily care and activities throughout the day on Tapestry, which is easily accessible online. Our daughter has a lactose intolerance and staff have been able to source lactose-free and dairy-free alternatives so our daughter is accommodated. The vast grounds at Queen's mean that our daughter has regular trips outside to explore the secret garden and playground.

This nursery is fantastic, my second daughter has just started with them and, as I expected, they have been exceptional. They communicate regularly throughout the day, the facilities are excellent and children thrive in their care. Highly rated.

Queen's Kindergarten is a wonderful setting. The facilities are amazing and the hygiene regime is second to none. The staff are amazing, extremely welcoming and helpful. My child has delayed language and they have been so accommodating and supportive in his development, happy to work with other health professionals and on a one to one basis with my child. I couldn’t have asked for more. If you are reading this and considering Queen's Kindergarten for your child, we really did our research and struggled to find a better setting for our little boy.

Queen's Kindergarten is a wonderful setting with amazing facilities and a lovely staff team. The children are able to take part in a huge amount of different experiences and activities, and parents are kept up to date with what their child has been up to via a really useful app. They go out for daily walks and spend a lot of time enjoying the great outside space they have. We feel that the staff really know our daughter and her personality/likes/favourite things etc. They certainly seem to have a lot of fun together! The staff are also really helpful and accommodating when we need extra days due to work commitments. My daughter is the second child that has attended - she loves the staff and is incredibly happy and settled, for which we are incredibly grateful. We would definitely recommend Queen's Kindergarten.

Both of my children have attended Queen's Kindergarten and both have loved it. The care and attention that all the staff show the children is wonderful. They are excellent at uploading pictures of what your children are up to and are fantastic at communicating if they need to get in touch. The activities they do are always really creative and fun. My favourite thing about the kindergarten is the smile on my youngest’s face every time we arrive. He quite literally runs into their arms and it gives me absolute confidence that I can fully recommend this kindergarten. My children love it.

The staff are wonderful and will cater to any individual needs of your child.

After a negative childcare experience prior to coming here, I was a bit nervous about how my little girl would settle. But from day one, the staff working with the children have been so friendly and kind, ensuring that our little girl happily bounds in each morning. They do a range of activities and are always smiling and positive. I enjoy the app updates. Mainly, I feel confident that when my little girl is upset, they look after her. A weight has been lifted, and the daily pressures of parenting are slightly eased(!) by not having to worry about her during the day. Thank you.

I would recommend them to anyone, my daughter's very happy here and her happiness is, in my opinion, the best review they could receive. I'm very grateful for all they do for her and the confidence they have given her.

The Kindergarten is fantastic, from the moment I first left my son I felt confident that he was in good hands. He has settled in amazingly and will now happily go to one of the girls for a cuddle and breakfast and wave goodbye to me. He is involved in a range of activities, including the school birthday meal, Christmas meal, messy play, craft activities etc. We have received a number of homemade products which is lovely. The parent app is fantastic and gives a good overview of the day, as well as photos. Highly recommended, your child will be in superb hands.

At times I do feel as though my little boy is spoilt rotten (which is fine by me!), in the early days he has been bathed, hair washed and dried and cared for as one of their own. So much so at times he asks to go home with the staff and not me! He has made lots of friends and always talks about the staff when at home.
