Review from Sarah R (Mother of Child) published on 2 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter goes to nursery here and absolutely loves it (as do we!) the staff are amazing, friendly, they spend time doing activities and outings with all the children. They do baby ballet/sports/cooking and outings to the park/shop/library. My daughter has made friends, learnt lots and flourished since being there. The setting is small, clean and welcoming and all food is prepared on site with lots of yummy healthy options for breakfast, dinner, tea and snacks. They offer the 30 hours free funded sessions. Well done to all the staff and keep being amazing.

Overall Experience
Everyone at Little Explorers is amazing with our little boy. He has been attending since he was 9 months and has grown into an amazing, well rounded boy.

The facilities, learning and food are always great. Jack doesn't stop talking about how much he loves the staff and how fun he has each day. He receives so much encouragement from the whole team. Special mention to Charlotte & Jax for working with him to emotionally regulate during difficult situations.

Overall Experience
We moved down from London in April so needed to find suitable childcare. We visited 3 nurseries and this felt like the best fit on paper and in person. My son was interested in what was going on when we had a tour and wiggled down to explore. Elise showed us around and she spoke to my son (which none of the other nurseries did!).
He was in the baby room for a while after a few settling in sessions and I could tell he was well cared for. He's now moved up to the toddler room and every day is a good day for him. There's so much to do. I love hearing what he's been up to, how he's eaten etc
It's so lovely because all of the staff seem to know all of the children.

I couldn't be happier with his care.

Review from Kimberley P (Mother of Child) published on 22 September 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We LOVE Little Explorers Royal George Rd. The whole team are brilliant and we couldn't have asked for a better preschool experience for our little boy. He left preschool last week and is ready to start school, and that's all because of the team at Little Explorers. He's been so emotional about leaving all his friends and key workers and it's been wonderful seeing him grow such beautiful bonds with everyone. We were fortunate enough to have a member of staff as our SEN lead at the preschool and she worked closely with our son on his speech development, she was brilliant with him, so attentive and patient. He loved her. We also had another member of staff as one of our key workers and he absolutely adored her. She always made an extra effort to play with him, listen to him and help him learn, helped develop his speech, and always gave him the best cuddles when he felt overwhelmed or overstimulated. Our son will miss them dearly. I'd happily recommend Little Explorers to anyone

Overall Experience

Little Explorers have been amazing with our son, he has autism and ARFID and not only did the deputy manager help and support is through getting his assessed, diagnosed and then an EHCP ready for him starting school, but they have also gone above and beyond to make him feel safe and happy at nursery and finding ways for him to feel included in what every way he is able. His speech, social skills and emotional regulation have all come on massively during his time at Little Explorers and will miss his favourite teachers immensely.

Overall Experience
My son has attended this nursery from 1 till now and he is leaving to go to school next month.
Over the last 3 years the staff at this nursery have been amazing when looking after my son as I had some anxiety around his eating/choking.
The communication was great and the care and attention they gave to my son was brilliant. Encouraging him to try different foods. My son always comes out happy and loves the puzzle competition he has with two other kids.
They know him very well.
The nursery manager is always available and I see her a lot out on the floor, the children know her well and she is hands on which is lovely to see so thanks.
If I have any queries she always is efficient in communicating with me.
This nursery journey for my son and I has been wonderful. And all the staff are very polite and friendly. The room is open and they always have fun activities and outings arranged.

What a lovely place.
