Review from Danielle D (Mother of Child) published on 2 July 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
When I first enrolled my daughter in the nursery it was during covid and I was heavily pregnant with my second child from then on the nursery staff have been amazing support as well as friendly and pleasant.
Due to the staff at Explorers Elm Park I have managed to get on to certain waiting lists to assess her suspected ASD without the help of the staff I feel I would still have not got anywhere in the diagnosis process.

She loves attending the nursery and due to how helpful and understanding the nursery have been I enrolled my youngest child before the age of 2 so he could also enjoy the nursery experience and both children love the setting and the staff

Review from S H (Mother of Child) published on 15 June 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

When choosing a nursery for my daughter, no others compared to that of Explorers Elm Park. We were very impressed with the space, facilities, resources for the children and the professionalism and friendliness of staff. We couldn’t be happier with our daughter's development since she started. We love that she gets lots of different experiences, such as the weekly sports coaching. Every member of staff has always been caring, understanding and supportive of any needs or issues. Communication through the app is convenient and the regular updates give me reassurance. Most importantly, I know my daughter is safe and enjoys attending; she always talks about what she has done at the end of each session.

My daughter is so happy at this nursery. She has been attending since she was a baby. Everyone is very good and cooperative. The manager is the best. The support that she provides is exceptional and she is so understanding. She is doing an amazing job as a manager. I would not go anywhere else. It's a top nursery!

So happy with this nursery. The staff are lovely. The nursery is such a loving and caring environment. My little girl gets so excited in the morning to go and at the end of the day doesn't want to leave. I couldn't have chose a better nursery for her. She is learning so much every day. Her development is amazing.

Overall Experience

This is such a lovely nursery. The environment is friendly, supportive and encouraging. My daughter has attended the nursery for two years and loves going! The staff are great and keep me up to date on her progress throughout the day. The activities the children do develop their social, communication and creativity skills whilst always having fun. 10/10 from us! Great value for money too.

Review from J T (Mother of Child) published on 3 April 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son has attended Explorers for around a year and a half now and absolutely loves it. Great location and lovely members of staff who are patient and helpful.
He did go through a phase of some bad habits, unfortunately; however, Explorers noticed this and raised their concerns to my attention. We sat down together and put a plan in place of different methods and exercises we could do to overcome this. He has developed so much with his speech, listening and understanding. I really appreciated this from Explorers, especially his key worker and the manager.
Love that they rotate their themed activities fortnightly and do activities such as teaching them the importance of brushing their teeth. My son loves sports day, baking and anything messy play!
You get updates on the app about your child's day and sometimes photos of what they've been up to.

I would highly recommend this nursery!

Overall Experience
I am so happy that we chose Explorers Elm Park to take care of our little girl. Over the last two years, she has grown into a bright, sociable, inquisitive little girl and I have no doubt that the setting and staff have had a huge impact on that. I am often complimented on her speech, how polite she is, her ability to count and make sense of her surroundings, how quickly she took to potty training, all of which I feel have been supported by the nursery.
The updates on the app give me reassurance as a parent and I love the pictures of her taking part in all the activities! I can see she has a lovely little routine, with the freedom to play and learn.

I feel that Explorers has absolutely met her needs as a baby growing into a toddler and I am confident that she will be more than ready to start school next year. If I have another child, I will be applying for a place for them straight away!

Overall Experience

My nephew has been attending Explorers at Elm Park for over 2 years now. I often pick him up from nursery and he is always so happy and tells me that he has had a great day. He absolutely loves robot reg and the football coach. Most of the staff are very helpful. His key worker is great and takes the time to tell you how he has been. I find the app so useful and love seeing the pictures of him enjoying himself and it is reassuring to see what food he has eaten and how much etc. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience

Elm Park Explorers is an amazing, clean, safe, fun and well-resourced nursery. Our little girl loves every moment that she attends and regularly comes home with arts and crafts that she has created. She always has a smile on her face and this is a testament to the management team and all staff looking after the children. As a parent, knowing your child is safe, warm and having fun whilst learning is everything we look for. Thank you for continually making our little girl smile and helping her on her development journey.

Overall Experience

My little one started at Explorers when she was approaching nine months. In the four months she has been attending, the team have been excellent and I have returned to work knowing my daughter is having the best time and being extremely well cared for. Myself and my husband have been kept up to date constantly and communication with the Bell Room Team and her key person has been outstanding. Would not send my daughter anywhere else, I don't think she would let me!

Overall Experience

My daughter started at Explorers Elm Park when she was 5 months old and is now 15 months and going full time. I could not have asked for a better nursery; they keep you up to date with their day through the app, they send pictures and observations and always have great activities for the children. She has developed so much and is really enjoying it. The staff are all very caring and update the parents regularly on their children's progress. Thanks to all the staff at Explorers Elm Park.

Great nursery, I can see my daughter developing even though she only goes one day a week on Thursdays. Staff are attentive and very friendly which is a big plus! Management can be reached easily and if any concerns these are addressed at ease.

Review from Katarina P (Mother of Child) published on 3 November 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

At first, I was reluctant and had mixed feelings about my baby going to nursery at all. After a couple of months, I only regret not taking her earlier! I am so happy and pleased with this nursery! She is always so happy and over the moon to play and have fun! They are always busy exploring with lots of well-thought-out activities. She absolutely loves messy play (my personal favourite are creative ones because they get to keep their masterpieces). I cannot praise them enough, entire team is all hands on deck! There are updates and regular reports about your child and their progress too. Hence I cannot recommend it enough! The absolute best! Keep up the good work!

Absolutely love Explorers Elm Park and all the staff. They are all so welcoming to my son. It is so obvious they adore him, and he adores them back.
The updates throughout the day are so reassuring, and it’s lovely to see what activities they have done.

I highly recommend this nursery. We moved my three year old son here in March and he settled immediately. All of the staff have made him feel so welcome and cared for, as well as providing us with lots of reassurance. The facilities and activities are amazing, management are very helpful and well organised and the level of communication is exceptional. He loves to tell us about his day and really looks forward to attending.

Both my daughters go to this nursery, one is three and the other eleven months! They absolutely love it here and are always coming home with art work. The baby has settled in very well and the staff have been great from the start. Both girls are so happy here and the staff are great.

Review from Charlotte G (Mother of Child) published on 13 April 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son started late February just before his second birthday. It was a big decision during these worrying times but from the moment we viewed and the owners showed us around we were put at ease straight away. Explorers is a breath of fresh air. I feel lucky that it came along at a time we desperately needed it. The app is wonderful and we are kept up to date. The food sounds lovely and the activities look brilliant. I’m really pleased that the nursery has a garden too, as we didn’t expect that. Thank you for making us, our son and our older daughter on pick up, who loves a chat, feel welcome at Explorers Elm Park!

Reply from Richelle Cook, Director at Explorers Elm Park

We are delighted that you are happy with the nursery and that you all feel welcomed. We strive for a 'home from home' environment and a massive thank you for choosing an Explorers nursery.
