Review from Sophie L (Mother of Child) published on 1 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started here in April it was her first nursery setting and she's never been apart from me before. She's taken to the team so well and they all have a genuine care for the children which really shows.
My daughter has flourished and gets excited and happy whenever I say to her she's going
to nursery this morning which means so much.
Her development is coming along nicely and the staff are always so helpful and welcoming.
I viewed 9 nursery's till we found young explorers chobham and im so glad we picked them for my daughter. The only downside is it's a little commute for us so hopefully we can keep her there for a while and my boss is understanding for me to be late logging into work after the nursery drop offs.

The manager and her team provide such a lovely, homely setting for the children. Our son has absolutely flourished with Young Explorer's passionate and dedicated team. The crafts are fabulous and each week there is a wonderful theme and new words to learn. He has loved it. Thanks so much to the twinkles
team.

Absolutely lovely nursery. Great staff, always friendly, supportive and helpful. My son is always happy to go to nursery and has grown so much since attending. My son had definitely found his voice and confidence since joining Young Explorers a year ago.
Highly recommended!

I cannot praise the nursery, staff or management more highly. My child was well cared for and very happy to attend. Communication was excellent during the very trying times of Covid. The nursery helped to equip my child for school and have wonderful community relationships.

Thank you for the review and for mentioning covid, it was such a strange time, especially at the beginning. We tried to ensure the impact was minimal to the children to give them the most normal…read more

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We’ve sent both of our children, with our youngest still going there now. This nursery is by far the best one we viewed when looking with our oldest. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and will help you every step of the way. My kids have both loved it there. They have such a lovely set-up, and
the bonus is that they’re based on a school site, so you also get help when they’re old enough to move on. So glad we found such a good nursery so close to home!

Wonderful preschool. 2nd child to attend here, and both experiences wonderful. Very warm and supportive for both settling in periods. Amazing team, so friendly, caring and fun. We couldn't be happier with our choice of preschool. Highly recommend.

Fantastic nursery! My son is settling in so well, his speech and communication has come on leaps and bounds since attending. He’s gone from a shy child to becoming more outgoing and keen to be involved; this is all thanks to the amazing staff and environment they create for him on a daily basis.
Reply from Sue Kearney, Owner at Young Explorers @ Cobham
That's such a lovely review; thank you so much; so pleased that you are happy with his progress and our planning of activities.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We absolutely love Young Explorers! My 3-year-old daughter has been going since September and has settled in really well. They’re all amazing with her, and she comes out every afternoon wanting to stay!
They’re also really good with the things they teach, we viewed a lot of nurseries, and it was more
like a play setting, only whereas Young Explorers really work on getting the kids up to speed and ready for school without them even realising.
Would definitely recommend it to everyone in the area. We couldn’t find a better place for our daughter.

Thank you for your review and for highlighting how we teach through play and prepare for the transition to school. Very much appreciated.

Review from S B (Mother of Child) published on 7 February 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both my children have attended Young Explores from September 2019 - February 2022.
The staff go above and beyond to make sure the children are well cared for and have activities tailored to all their needs.
Both my children have loved attending, and I know when I leave them, they are happy and settled,
creating new memories and having fun. Both my children run to get to nursery, and our disappointed when it’s not a nursery day
The way the children develop school readiness in preschool is fantastic.
The children are always learning through play but at their own level and pace.
My youngest suffers badly from asthma, but the staff have the skills, training and knowledge to deal with her condition. Making her feel calm and safe.
The nursery constantly updates its resources and rooms.
Staff are always on hand to help and communicate with.
I have worked in the childcare sector for 10-years, and Young Explorers is one of the best nursery’s I have come across.

My daughter absolutely loved her time with the Young Explorers team; she was happy, well cared for and thrived in her social and learning skills.
The team were welcoming and always planning new exciting crafts and activities for her to take part in. Great effective communication from the team on a
daily basis. Highly recommend this pre-school to local parents needing term-time childcare.

Current Review Score: 8.2 (8.156)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.2 (8.156) out of 10 for Young Explorers @ Cobham is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.2 out of 5 from 1 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 5.000 for Young Explorers @ Cobham is calculated as follows: ( (11 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 11 Ratings = 5
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 3.156 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Young Explorers @ Cobham is based on 1 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 = 3
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 32 number of registered child places is 6.4. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 6.4 = 0.156
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
