Creative Explorers Pre-school - Crouch End

Thank you for the amazing years of care, guidance and support. We are already missing you so much!

Great nursery place for my daughter. Super attentive and loving staff. Facilities are remarkably good- clean, new or like new, outdoor spaces on-premise, tidy. The learning journey of my daughter was well documented, and we kept a fluent and close contact with the staff at all times. I Highly recommend.

Our daughter started at Creative Explorers in Oct 2023, aged almost 3, and is now leaving for school having absolutely thrived. She's loved the outdoor area, Nature Day on Tuesdays, and the many thoughtful trips, from local adventures to the Science and Natural History Museums. The caring staff have nurtured her curiosity and confidence. The management team have been brilliant, always supportive and responsive. We're grateful too to the chef, who has gone above and beyond to provide safe, delicious food for her coeliac needs. Creative Explorers has been a warm, inspiring, and safe place for our daughter to flourish - we will miss it so much!

My daughter loved this nursery - particularly the preschool room (Crouch End branch) with its lovely big outdoor space and nurturing staff. We felt very lucky to have found a caring preschool that encourages creativity and play-based learning. Attracts great families too and my daughter has made some lovely friends.

Creative Explorers went above and beyond with their summer party. Plenty of thought went into this event with play areas for all age groups, keeping the children entertained. The food and drinks were amazing. We cannot thank you enough for inviting us to such a cool party. My little one has grown so much as one of the explorers at the school and he will miss the staff dearly. You have made a big impact on his life and will never be forgotten.

Wonderful, caring staff. Great outdoor space and so many different activities and learning opportunities. My daughter attended Creative Explorers Nursery from a year old and moved to preschool last summer. Not long after they received the outstanding rating which was cool! We are very happy with her care and her development here. Every day she comes home happy and tells us about her day. Management is also fantastic and extremely quick to respond to queries, changes to schedules, or concerns. I feel like everyone here is working to constantly get better and better. I would recommend this preschool to anyone in the area.

Creative Explorers Preschool is a brilliant nursery. Our son thrives there. Such caring and welcoming staff. Great facilities and activities, such as sports club and forrest school. And there is the most amazing garden where children can play, be creative and have lots of fun.

The staff put a lot of care and effort into what they do and I am really glad we found Creative Explorers. We will miss it as she is about to head into reception but Creative Explorers has prepared her well for the next steps. I would recommend this preschool without hesitation.

My daughter has been at the Creative Explorers Preschool for the past year and will be starting school in September. We have found it to be an excellent nursery and would not hesitate to recommend it to other parents. The staff provide a loving and caring environment and work hard to provide the children with activities that are both fun and educational.

My daughter has attended both the preschool and baby and toddler sites at Creative Explorers Preschool since September 2018 and she is just about to finish her time at preschool in August 2022 having been there since June 2020. We cannot speak more highly of the whole nursery and recommend it to all parents and carers researching childcare settings without hesitation. The preschool site is fantastic, with a wonderful garden and outside area that the children love. They do excellent creative and academic activities that really help the children to flourish. They offer incredible support to parents as well and communicate promptly and efficiently. We get regular updates on our child's day, which is always lovely to receive! The staff take their time to really get to know every child and their family. At times the staff have felt like parents to us as well, due to their kindness and caring nature. It really is a wonderful preschool and we will be forever grateful to them for their impact on our child.

My eldest son has just graduated from Creative Explorers preschool to start reception. He's been with the Creative Explorers since he was 10 months old and I couldn't have a better experience. My youngest son is currently in the baby room and is thriving in a loving environment. The care they give each child, at each stage of their journey is exemplary. The pre-school facilities and staff are fantastic and they were instrumental in getting my eldest ready for school. They were constantly finding new ways to creatively engaged the children with learning. I was particularly impressed with how they approached the BLM movement earlier this year with the children and the celebration of London PRIDE. In terms of getting them ready for school, the attention to the emotional and educational needs was paramount. My eldest had a seamless transition to primary school and that was really down to the staff at Creative Explorers.

I love Creative Explorers day nursery and do recommend to all parents. My daughter has been in C.E nursery for 2 1/2 years now and she is just thriving. She is very well looked after and talks about her teachers and friends all weekend. Before Creative Explorers I had my daughter in two different nurseries on separate occasions and both of us were not happy with certain aspects of both the nurseries. However on the first day of our show around my daughter at 2years old said “mummy, this one” and we have both been really happy since. The staff are so caring and always talk nicely and professionally. We always get a warm welcome and have never had any issues or concerns about anything. My daughter is always full up on there delicious food and they always change my daughter and keep her clean. They Have a big beautiful garden with all the resources and always get parents involved in fun events. They do their best to keep both children and parents happy and managers are really approachable.

My son thoroughly enjoys going. They even go the extra mile with plenty of events and special visits from various people such as the police, dentist and firefighters. My son has learnt some amazing things about all different cultures and traditions since being there.

I personally think the best way to describe the nursery, with their atmosphere, the staff and even the fellow parents, its like a family and we are very honoured to be part of it.
