  • Little Explorers - Royal George Road Day Nursery & Pre-school, Burgess Hill
Little Explorers Royal George Road is thoughtfully arranged into three rooms: babies, toddlers, and preschoolers. The nursery is designed to feel homely and comfortable, allowing children the freedom to explore their surroundings. The team carefully creates the room layouts, taking inspiration from the children’s interests.

The practitioners possess extensive knowledge of the three prime areas of learning and the four specific areas, which are integrated into a wide range of activities and provocations. These activities are designed to engage the children and extend and develop their existing knowledge.

The nursery features two outdoor spaces: one at the front and an additional sensory garden where children can experience growing and planting. The gardens are set up daily to engage with the children’s interests and are suitable for all age groups.

The wonderful team of caring, compassionate practitioners creates a happy and exciting learning environment where children can thrive.

The children truly "love" their day at nursery and are always eager to share their experiences with Mum and Dad.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son has been at Little Explorers Royal George Road for 6 months and is now 12 months old. He's been so well supported by the members of the baby room, they took such great care when he was first settling in and really helped us adjust too with thoughtful handovers and clear asks (eg when to pack
extras of things!).
A particular thanks to one of the staff who has always been particularly helpful when I come to pick up my son in my wheelchair- always taking the time to make sure I've got his bag and belongings balanced before securing the baby- the extra care is really appreciated!

Reply from Hannah Harber, Parent Liaison Advisor at Little Explorers - Royal George Road Day Nursery & Pre-schoolThank you for taking the time to leave this wonderful review! I love the food too, whenever I visit the nurseries I always make sure to arrive at lunchtime so I can have a little plate! We put a lot of work into our menu, working with a nutritionist to make sure that every meal is both delicious and nutritious! If there are any team members in particular that you would like to mention, please do email me on hannah.harber@isteplearing.co.uk - reward and recognition is something of great importance to us, and we love to celebrate our practitioner's hard work!

Our little one absolutely loves Little Explorers. She enjoys it so much that she asks to come and says she's not in. The staff are all lovely and really accommodating. The food is fantastic to the point she will eat multiple plates of food. Overall we are really happy with how she's getting on, the
friends she's made and how much she's learnt.

My child has settled into nursery beautifully and we are very happy with the keyworkers.
We have noticed how she has developed in her communication and have noticed how settled she is here. We look forward to watching her grow and develop over the coming weeks, months and years. Thank you for all that
you do!

Review from Claire L (Mother of Child) published on 8 October 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little boy has been at the nursery for over 2 years now, he is non-verbal so things are difficult for us. A particular member of staff at the nursery is amazing, she has gone above and beyond for us, and I really don't know where I would be without her. Her guidance and help with our child's journey
have been second to none, and I really don't think I would have known what to do. My child loves going to nursery, when he sees two particular members of staff his little face lights up, all the staff are amazing with my child, but he does not want to go to everyone. Another staff member is the one mainly with him on a daily basis now and she is also amazing, if I could take both these two staff members with me to the next school I would. Thank you so much for everything.
Reply from Hannah Harber, Parent Liaison Advisor at Little Explorers - Royal George Road Day Nursery & Pre-schoolHi there - Wow, what lovely comments!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter absolutely loves the nursery, she settled so well and looks forward to going, all the staff are extremely friendly, caring and engaging with children and parents. My daughter has taken a warming to a particular member of staff, who is amazing with my daughter, she's taken the time to help
her settle into the nursery and my daughter constantly mentions her at home. Enrolling into nursery was super easy and the management are always at hand to answer any questions. I am so pleased I chose Little Explorers for my daughter.
Reply from Hannah Harber, Parent Liaison Advisor at Little Explorers - Royal George Road Day Nursery & Pre-schoolHi - thank you for taking the time to leave this lovely review. It's wonderful to hear that your child has transitioned to nursery with the help of our team. We put a huge emphasis on that settling-in period, as it can be stressful for children (and parents!) to start at a new nursery, so it's really great to see that it is working.

Our little girl has really thrived at Little Explorers. She walks in with no problems to a very friendly team which indicates to me that she enjoys it so much. A huge thank you to the ladies in toddler room.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.866)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.866) out of 10 for Little Explorers - Royal George Road Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.866 for Little Explorers - Royal George Road Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (294 Excellents x 5) + (38 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 335 Ratings = 4.866
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Explorers - Royal George Road Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 28 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    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 40 number of registered child places is 8, which has been reached with 28 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
