Explorers Elm Park

Incredible nursery with amazing, caring staff. We've sent 2 children here all the way through to primary school and never had any issues. Our children had an amazing time and learned to be independent during their time here. Highly recommended.

Thankyou Explorers for continuing to ensure my child is happy and safe at all times.

We've had a really positive experience with this nursery since our son started. Like many toddlers, he found the initial settling-in period emotional, and as parents we were naturally anxious but the team handled it with so much care, patience and professionalism that it made a huge difference for us.

The staff took time to understand him as an individual, supported him through separation, and built trust at his pace. He now goes in happily, talks about his day, and clearly enjoys the activities and relationships he's forming there.

Communication has been excellent. The app updates and observations are genuinely reassuring and help us feel connected to his day. We also really appreciate the support with his language development (we're a bilingual family) and the collaborative approach with routines and milestones like toilet training.

Most importantly, the staff clearly care about the children. We're very grateful and would absolutely recommend this nursery.

As someone who has tried 3 different childcare providers with my first child, I can definitely say Explorers is top quality!

My son looks forward to nursery every day to see his friends and teachers. We would whole heartly recommend this setting for anyone looking for a great nursery for their children.

Our son started nursery shortly after his 2nd birthday, and it was a challenging time for both him and our family. He was very anxious, and the transition was not easy.

The staff at Explorers, Elm Park were incredibly patient, supportive, and understanding. They made every effort to accommodate his needs, including adjusting his days and hours to help him settle in more comfortably.

Just two months later, the difference is remarkable. Our son now walks into nursery with a smile, looks forward to his time there, enjoys a variety of foods, and has started building lovely friendships. We've also seen a noticeable improvement in his speech and confidence.

We're so grateful to the team for their care and dedication during such an important time in our son's development.

our son has been in Explorers since he was 10 months old and the caring and nurturing environment is exceptional. We were nervous about sending him to nursery but they've made the adjustments so smoothly and look after him so well. They are quite responsive to his needs and ensure that they communicate any changes to us in a timely manner. Loads of activities during the day and he seems well stimulated- on pick ups, he's very happy and chatty and usually has 'upgrades' that he's picked up from nursery.

I'm so grateful to everyone at this nursery for all the effort they make and how kind they treat our kids.

Explorers Elm Park is sensational! From the moment we had our initial visit, the staff were welcoming and kind. This has only continued as our daughter has attend Explorers over the past year. The staff communicate well with parents, they are nurturing and nothing is ever too much for them. They have gone above and beyond to help settle our child into a nursery setting. They come up with innovative and exciting activities for the children every day. They ensure that learning and fun is paramount for all children and I wouldn't want my daughter to go anywhere else. The manager is beyond supportive and will always listen to parental comments. I cannot recommend it enough and any children who attend are lucky to be there with such amazing people.

Generally, a great environment.

Our son has been with Explorers for over a year and the staff are all so caring and supportive of all the children. You get honest feedback from my child's day and celebrate the little wins he achieves each day. Great SEN support from all the team. I couldn't have got through without you! Always listening and they have time at the end of the day for you. Never rushed at drop or pick up. Love the updates on the Explorers app. You see what he's eaten and photos of the days activities. They take him and his classmates out on short trips to the cafe, park and library and have themed activities each week. Never the same thing twice! Well done all round! Highly recommended.

Explorers is simply wonderful! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, creating an immediate sense of comfort.The staff are incredibly friendly and genuinely care about each child, offering a homely, nurturing environment where little ones thrive. The meals and snacks provided are nutritious, fresh, and varied, ensuring my son gets all the goodness he needs. It's clear that healthy eating is a priority. I love that the children help prep and make their own meals and snacks where possible, instilling good eating habits and learning great every-day life skills. The daily activities are thoughtfully planned, providing engaging, hands-on tasks that really stimulate their curiosity.My son is always excited to attend! It's obvious the staff know how to balance fun with educational value. Communication with parents is excellent. They use an app to give regular updates and photos, as well as being available at drop offs and pickups to chat. This nursery is an absolute gem

The nursery staff are fantastic and truly care about each individual child. The setting is spotless and they offer a wide range of food and snacks. The daily activities educate the children on day to day occurrences and my child's development has excelled since attending. I cannot thank the staff enough for taking excellent care of my child.

We are happy with our child attending explorers. The staff are really welcoming, and proactive in addressing any concerns we may have. Communication is excellent, and they've taken the time to understand my child's individual needs and preferences. The nursery provides a stimulating and nurturing environment, and we highly recommend it to other families.

Thank you!

My now 6-year-old started here the first day it opened its doors and she loved it. My 1-year-old now attends and has done since he was 9 months old. I have all my trust in the ladies who look after him, he is loved within the nursery and I have so much confidence in the way they look after the children I don’t worry at all. Thank you Explorers for putting my mind at ease having to return to work.

I can’t praise the staff here enough! They’re absolutely amazing! My son has been going here for longer than 2 years now and he’s so happy to go every morning. The staff are so attentive and welcoming. He’s always learning something new and his behaviour has improved massively since he started attending the nursery.

What an amazing nursery I cannot speak more highly of it. Outstanding rating does not lie! All of my children have or will attend here as the staff, management and facilities are excellent. The communication with parents via app and at door pick up/drops is second to none. I would not trust them with anyone else. They take on board any requirements your child might need, which was important for me in particular with food. Excellent support when needed, and as a qualified teacher the educational aspect of nursery is outstanding, lots of age appropriate activities and learning.

We do look forward to the daily updates via the app, it’s so nice to see what they have been doing, eating etc throughout the day whilst we are at work.

Thank you to all of the staff for working to a high standard and making our nursery experience a great one.

In the few months our little boy has been attending nursery, we can see he is really happy and feels comfortable. We have felt at ease with his transition and have been kept up to date with his progress and dietary interests. He always looks very happy in the photos uploaded and the various activities he is involved in. Overall, we are extremely happy with the service and care that the nursery provide for both our children.
