Explorers Gidea Park

We've had such a great experience at Explorers. It's well-organised, fun, and perfect for kids to enjoy themselves safely. My daughter loves coming here and is always excited for the next visit. Definitely one of our favourite places!

Honestly can not fault this nursery.

My daughter attends and the nursery are amazing. Her transition wasn't the easiest but they supported her every step of the way and worked alongside me to ensure we were settling at her pace. They also reassured me when my daughter was upset during drop offs.

She is always well cared for, changed regularly and the app is updated every day before she leaves nursery. The staff are really good at encouraging independence and I have noticed a big change in my daughter. While at nursery my daughter has a pe lesson each week and a counting kids session at no extra cost and these are defiantly something she looks forward to.

The staff are nurturing, attentive and supportive and my daughter looks forward to her nursery days to see her teachers.

Something that really stands out to me is how well they know my daughter. Every pick up they tell me something funny she has done that day or something she has done well as well as expressing any concerns.

My daughter started explorers in April 2025. She could only say 5 single words on her first day. And a year on and still at the nursery. She has come on leaps and bounds. She knows all her friends names at the setting she can count 1to10 she now can tell me what she wants where before was a struggle.. I'm so grateful to all the staff at explorers for all the support they have shown me and my daughter.. and all the continuous work that has been put in place. This is a great place for your child to develop the skills they need before they move on to reception at infants school.. explorers is a little second home to my daughter she Frist in and lady out lol so I would recommend this setting to everyone. That's thinking off a nursery for there child or children

Our son has been attending Explorers Gidea Park since January 2025 and there has never been a single occasion of dissatisfaction of any kind. The manager, Leanne is exemplary in her approach, she is kind friendly (always upbeat, laughing and smiling), accommodating and super supportive, I do not know how she does it, always promptly responding and reassuring. The entire team is kind and they simply provide a superior space for children's growth and development in learning through play. Our son loves going here and he cannot wait each morning (5 days a week) to go in, that for us is all the evidence we need of what a lovely place this is. Raddika, his key worker, is always kind and supportive she understands our child well and always has a smile on her face. Overall we are very grateful to the team and all they do and cannot thank them enough :)

Unfortunately didn't have a good experience here. Manager here was not very friendly. My daughter used to be very unhappy here so im so glad I took her out. She used to come home very unclean you can tell they didnt take care of her (nose not wiped and all dried up!). She is in a much better nursery now.

We have had such a positive experience with this nursery. The staff are caring and attentive and always go above and beyond to support the children. My daughter especially thrived in her final year as she was preparing for primary school. She was given homework books, weekly reading folders and writing practice which really helped her transition confidently into reception. There are also plenty of varied activities that kept her engaged and happy every day. I am very grateful for the dedication of the team as they truly set children up for the next stage of their learning.

Sadly, it is now time for them to move on to reception, but I will always be grateful for the amazing start they had at Gidea Park Nursery. Thank you to all the staff for making their early years so special.

My child's first nursery and he absolutely adored every single one of them!

Can not thank everyone enough for the time, support effort and love they have for both the children and the parents.

Thank you all again for looking after my baby

Thank you Explorers Gidea Park!

The activities are creative and educational, and the environment is always clean, safe, and welcoming. I truly feel at ease knowing she's in such good hands. Thank you for everything you do!

We are very happy that our child is going to Explorers Gidea Park. He looks forward to go everyday. The staff is so caring. The entire team is amazing. We are informed about our son's daily activities through the app. We look forward to send our second child to Explorers Gidea Park as well.

My son and daughter have been privileged to have been under the care of the most amazing nursery teachers at Gidea Park Explorers. They grew in leaps and bounds into the most confident little kids. I recommend this nursery and cannot stop singing its praises about how caring, fun and attentive they are.

I will be sad when my son has to leave here in the summer. Thank you to everyone at Explorers Gidea Park!

Explorers, Gidea Park are absolutely fantastic, they are so good with the children. My daughter loves it here. She comes home with wonderful arts and crafts, singing and talking about her lovely friends and carers. Daily feedback at pick up is never too much trouble and the daily updates on the app and in person are great. Would recommend this preschool.

They organise various activities throughout the year and help the children learn through play and other activities.

This is a lovely pre-school, I am really pleased with the care and support my daughter receives here. The staff are fantastic, kind and my daughter is always happy there. She has made lovely friends and has lots of fun, there is learning through play and songs and she comes home singing some really creative songs, or with painting and bakes! Would definitely recommend it here.

I was very reluctant to send my son to nursery as he was 2 and a half and had very limited speech. But I have been so impressed with the level of care and support received since he started in September. He is always so excited to go and the staff are incredibly helpful and friendly. It has really helped put my mind at ease when leaving him in someone else’s care and have really noticed an improvement in his development since attending the nursery. Couldn’t be more pleased with our choice of nursery.

This nursery was my child’s first nursery and she was extremely nervous at first! But thanks to the brilliant staff she’s settled, learning, making friends and goes to nursery happily! It’s also good for me to pictures they upload and hear about her day, thank you to three members of staff in particular.

My son joined Explorers Gidea Park in late October once a week for 3 hours. I saw that he enjoyed it very much that I kept increasing his hours. The staff are absolutely brilliant and always communicate whenever asked questions. For every parent, our kid's happiness matters the most. So, I highly recommend this nursery to anyone who is looking for a friendly setting for their child.

Very lovely and welcoming teachers who are very patient and understanding with children. Found the facilities to be ideal and great activities for the children. The location is also ideal, very quiet and relaxed.
