Little Explorers - Janes Lane Day Nursery & Pre-school

My daughter loves Little Explorers! Having moved her from another nursery, the difference is remarkable. Little Explorers really care about each child individually and are constantly doing fun but educational activities. Her key worker asks me what I'd like to focus on and currently she's preparing my daughter to welcome her baby sister.

The food is fantastic, my daughter mostly finishes every meal (if not seconds) and I love the relationship the chef has with the children, involving them in some of the cooking/baking.

They tend to be outside as much as possible, she's hardly picked up any illnesses from other children in the course of a year which shows how well this is handled by the nursery when a child is noticeably unwell.

Couldn't recommend more.

A huge thank you to Jenny who plays a massive part in the learning and well being of the children.

The manager is lovely and approachable, all the staff are! I feel comfortable knowing my daughter is there and having as much fun as possible.

What a fabulous nursery! Our grandson has been attending for 2 1/2 years and is so happy. He has made lots of friends, is thriving emotionally and academically. Every member of staff is fully invested in each child, their interests and needs. As grandparents who are very involved in our grandsons life,we have built excellent relationships with the staff and love being included in days when families are invited into the setting. The recent addition of forest school is fantastic, the children love to explore new surroundings and have the opportunity to try new things and test their abilities. Cannot praise Jane's Lane or its staff highly enough.

My son has been attending Little Explorers Janes Lane for two years now and he absolutely adores his time at nursery. Drop offs are so easy! He has truly flourished there and the nursery is by far the best it has ever been, with caring, consistent staff, healthy food (that he actually eats and enjoys), and an lovely intimate setting. The garden area is well equipped for the size and my son loves the recent addition of forest school, venturing out to Bedelands nature reserve to explore each week. .

I'd throughly recommend the nursery

We have our son at Little Explorers - Janes Lane Day Nursery, we are so pleased with the manager and the team, for really turning the nursery around. Our son is happy and thriving. There are many activities and we really love how they foster independence.

The team organise great activities for the children during the day and also events for parents to join in with as well - allowing the team time to also get to know the parents better.

Both my daughters (3 & 6) have attended Little Explorers and absolutely loved their time there and all the staff. There have been lots of changes over the last year but these have been positive and it is a lovely environment for the children. All the staff are amazing and provide excellent activities for the children also feeding back to us regularly. They have home cooked food every day and cater for all needs.

Our two daughters have been in the nursery since they were a year old and they have loved every second of it! The staff are so friendly and caring, really focusing on each child's individual skills and passions. There are regular updates throughout the days and this has been so lovely to keep up with everything they are doing!

The weekly visits from a sports development company to develop skills related to sport, hand/eye, team and fitness also stand out in addition to the schedule and the kids love it.
