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.

For the past two years, Gidea Park Nursery has truly been a second home for my twins. They have learned so much and grown beautifully with the support of the wonderful staff. My daughter, who is autistic, has been given a safe, caring, and encouraging environment where she was able to progress and thrive. The team have always been patient, kind, and dedicated to the children's needs. 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.

Can't fault the nursery here at all. 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

My daughter absolutely loves going to this nursery and all I have is praise for all the staff that has taken there time to support my daughter since she started in April if anyone is looking for a nursery i would 100% recommend Explorers

I couldn't be happier with the care and attention my daughter receives at Explorers! The staff are incredibly nurturing, friendly, and professional. Since starting here, my daughter has grown in confidence, learned so much, and genuinely enjoys going every day. 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!

Explorers Gidea Park is amazing! The staff are kind, caring and understanding. My little one hasn't been going to nursery for very long and struggled to adjust to being away from me at first. She now lights up as we head to the entrance and walks in by herself. Her speech is improving and she sings more nursery rhymes when we are back at home. I can't express how pleased I am with how her experience is going. I get regular updates about what is going on in the nursery setting and any activities my daughter has taken part in. Thank you Explorers Gidea Park!

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.

We could not be happier with this nursery. We moved our son here over a year ago after a not-so-good experience at another nursery and the staff were incredible from the start and continue to be so! Staff are friendly, trustworthy and my son is comfortable with everyone in the setting. It’s a small setting so you know all staff very well as they take turns in welcoming/sending children home every day. The activities provided are always varied, the external clubs that come in (sports club and phonics with robot reg) are all included in the fees which is amazing. They encourage such healthy eating which has definitely impacted my son day to day in a positive way too! 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.

The staff at Explorers is fantastic. My daughter loves it there and she felt comfortable from day one. They keep you updated at all times and maintain good communication with the parents via the app and in person. My oldest daughter also attended this nursery and she loved it too. 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.

Although my daughter is only a few months in this nursery, I want to tell you that I am very satisfied. Taking into account that my daughter comes from a family where not much English is spoken, I have seen a lot of changes in behaviour and in speaking, which makes me extremely happy. The staff is very kind, professional and I feel safe when I know her there. I strongly recommend this nursery to all parents who want to know that their child is safe during the hours spent away from them.

My child has settled very well at Explorers Gidea Park after a few weeks of crying. The manager and staff have supported his settling in period with great success and have constantly communicated (via the app) his day to day activities, which has been a huge comfort. He is constantly asking to go back to his preschool now, to play with his friends, and is always asking where his teacher is. As parents, this is a huge positive and we were lucky enough to find the perfect preschool for him.

Having experienced different nurseries over the last few years, having two kids, I was extremely impressed with the level of communication; with daily updates on what the children have been doing. It’s so lovely to see what they have been doing and how the interact without parents around. It is a lovely setting to get them ready for school. My daughter absolutely loves her phonics with 'Robot Reg', football and science week. We will be sad to leave. However, I feel she has been given the tools to transition into school well.

My little girl attends this nursey Monday to Friday, full days, and she loves it. She is always happy going in and coming out. The staff are so friendly, helpful and the activities they do with the children are amazing. There is always a new focus for the week and the children love it. As a full-time working mum, I don’t always get to drop off or collect my little one, but the communication between home and the nursey is outstanding. The app is so simple to use, to message the teachers, and I'm always receiving daily updates on what the children have been doing. I would highly recommend this nursey to everyone.
