Latest Reviews for Little Explorers - Janes Lane Day Nursery & Pre-school
25 February 2026
What a fabulous nursery! Our grandson has been attending for 2 1/2 years and is so happy. He has made lots of friends, is thriving emotionally and academically. Every member of staff is fully invested in each child, their interests and needs. As grandparents who are very involved in our
grandsons life,we have built excellent relationships with the staff and love being included in days when families are invited into the setting. The recent addition of forest school is fantastic, the children love to explore new surroundings and have the opportunity to try new things and test their abilities. Cannot praise Jane's Lane or its staff highly enough.

My son has been attending Little Explorers Janes Lane for two years now and he absolutely adores his time at nursery. Drop offs are so easy! He has truly flourished there and the nursery is by far the best it has ever been, with caring, consistent staff, healthy food (that he actually eats and
enjoys), and an lovely intimate setting. The garden area is well equipped for the size and my son loves the recent addition of forest school, venturing out to Bedelands nature reserve to explore each week. .

We have our son at Little Explorers - Janes Lane Day Nursery, we are so pleased with the manager and the team, for really turning the nursery around. Our son is happy and thriving. There are many activities and we really love how they foster independence.

I would highly recommend this nursery. My daughter started here when she was 10 months old and settled really quickly. It's clear from seeing the interactions that she loves the team here and that they really do care about the children. In the 8 months she has been here, there have been several
changes, mainly in management/staff. However, we were always kept informed, and open discussions of any concerns about the changes were encouraged.
The team actively encourages parent input into how best they can help with areas of development for their child with "focus weeks", and the parent app allows us to see photos of what they've been doing in the day. It's clear the staff are invested in the children's development.
The food is freshly cooked, healthy and has a varied menu - my daughter will often have a 2nd portion!
The team organise great activities for the children during the day and also events for parents to join in with as well - allowing the team time to also get to know the parents better.

Both my daughters (3 & 6) have attended Little Explorers and absolutely loved their time there and all the staff. There have been lots of changes over the last year but these have been positive and it is a lovely environment for the children. All the staff are amazing and provide excellent
activities for the children also feeding back to us regularly. They have home cooked food every day and cater for all needs.

Our two daughters have been in the nursery since they were a year old and they have loved every second of it! The staff are so friendly and caring, really focusing on each child's individual skills and passions. There are regular updates throughout the days and this has been so lovely to keep up
with everything they are doing!

Both of my children (3.5yr/1.5yr) attend Little Explorers at Janes Lane and they are so happy there. I would gladly recommend it to other parents looking for a small and nurturing setting.
There has been a lot of positive change over the last six months, instigated by new management and led by the
lovely manager and deputy. Indeed all of the staff are lovely, genuinely caring and much adored by the children. My son absolutely devours the meals and everything they make in cooking club. While management and the team come up with endless fun and enlightening activities for the children both inside and outside. Curiosity, kindness and enthusiasm are all thoroughly and thoughtfully encouraged. As parents we are updated with lots of photos, notes about their day and invitations to family events.
The weekly visits from a sports development company to develop skills related to sport, hand/eye, team and fitness also stand out in addition to the schedule and the kids love it.
