Overall Experience

Explorers is simply wonderful! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, creating an immediate sense of comfort.The staff are incredibly friendly and genuinely care about each child, offering a homely, nurturing environment where little ones thrive. The meals and snacks provided

are nutritious, fresh, and varied, ensuring my son gets all the goodness he needs. It's clear that healthy eating is a priority. I love that the children help prep and make their own meals and snacks where possible, instilling good eating habits and learning great every-day life skills. The daily activities are thoughtfully planned, providing engaging, hands-on tasks that really stimulate their curiosity.My son is always excited to attend! It's obvious the staff know how to balance fun with educational value. Communication with parents is excellent. They use an app to give regular updates and photos, as well as being available at drop offs and pickups to chat. This nursery is an absolute gem

Thank you for your review! We are extremely lucky to have a cook that produces a great menu for the children. The children have the opportunity to self serve and prepare food which helps their independence and prepares them for school. We are very lucky to have a great manager and committed staff at the setting.

The nursery staff are fantastic and truly care about each individual child. The setting is spotless and they offer a wide range of food and snacks. The daily activities educate the children on day to day occurrences and my child's development has excelled since attending. I cannot thank the staff enough

for taking excellent care of my child.

Great nursery, really attention and caring. React and respond quickly to any queries or questions. Staff are always so friendly, positing and happy. The nursery is clean and well organised. No negatives to note - fantastic environment for young children.

Overall Experience

My son started at Explorers Collier Row in Sept 24. We can already see the impact of attending a nursery, he is able to play on his own, say a few phrases and interact with different people now. So happy we chose Explorers, the setting is split into three rooms that are massive and have so many activities

for the children to do. The staff are always lovely! Highly recommend.

Reply from Richelle Cook, Director at Explorers Collier Row

Thank you for you lovely review. We are very lucky to be able to offer the children ample space to explore their environment and enjoy their time with their friends. We are very lucky to have a great staff team who are dedicated in helping the children to develop and grow.

Overall Experience

We couldn't be happier with the experience. From day one, the staff has been incredibly welcoming, caring, and professional. They truly treat each child like their own, fostering a warm and nurturing environment.

The facilities are always clean, well-organised, and age-appropriate, and we appreciate

the variety of activities they offer. Our daughter has learned so much-whether it's from creative play, educational activities, or socialising with other children. It's clear the teachers are dedicated to not just daycare, but to the development and well-being of each child.

We love the consistent communication we receive and the occasional photo or update on how our child is doing. It gives us peace of mind knowing she's in such good hands. We would highly recommend it to any family!

Overall Experience

My daughter has been going to Elm Park Explorers since October 2023. All the staff are amazing! They are warm and friendly and provide updates on my child's day-to-day activities and development not only on the site but also during drop off and pick-ups which is reassuring. They can be contacted anytime

via message/phone and are so responsive with the sole priority of keeping children and parents reassured and happy. Every single staff make an effort with all kids to ensure the transition between each year and class from 0-4 is as smooth as possible.
Thank you!

The staff here are such a lovely team of girls, they look after my daughter so well. They teach the children a lot from learning colors and animals to getting school ready. My daughter’s speech has expanded a lot since going to this nursery, her tidying skills are on point, she loves playing with others

now, and she has made lots of friends. I would definitely recommend this nursery to others.

My son attends nursery every day currently in pre-school. He is happy to go in and has felt comfortable being there from when he was a year old. He has been supported by all staff members, and as parents, we have also been supported and always given information on our child at all times. He really enjoys

the activities in the setting and the extracurricular activities that the nursery provides, which helps his learning and development.

Overall Experience

My child was very unsettled when settling into the nursery, but all the staff of Explorers Collier Row helped made her feel welcome and at home, she soon settled in, which made me so happy. All the staff are like one big family, and their passion and love shine through their hard work, looking after

our babies, and helping them grow and develop. I would never send my child anywhere else. The resources used throughout the setting are next to none. My child has developed so much in the short time she has been there. As soon as you walk into the nursery, it is like home from home.

Reply from Richelle Cook, Director at Explorers Collier Row

Thank you for your review. I am glad to hear that your child has settled in well to the nursery. The staff team work hard in welcoming new children and innvolving them in group activities with the other children.

I always have a very pleasant experience when picking my niece up from this nursery. The teachers always make sure to keep you informed at the handovers with how the child was throughout the day and post plenty of pictures and updates onto the app showing all the activities and achievements the child

gets up to during the day. Extremely happy with this nursery and would recommend it to everyone!

Reply from Richelle Cook, Director at Explorers Collier Row

The app is a wonderful tool and all those who use it in the setting comment how useful it is. We know how important it is for families to see what the childreen are doing whilst they are at nursery. Thank you for your recommendation!

Overall Experience

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!

Reply from Richelle Cook, Director at Explorers Gidea Park

We are so pleased that you are having a positive experience with us. We are extremely lucky to have a fantastic, dedicated staff team who put the children at the heart of what they do. We try to keep the childcare costs down and include as much as we can to broaden the children's curriculum and experiences with us! Thank you for your feedback.

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 nursery is very good and my daughter is enjoying the time with other kids and carers!
She is learning lots of songs, doing drawing and educational activities and her English improved far better since she started! Staff are careful and very knowledgeable about details and behaviour as they know

what my kid loves and what not!
Much more could be told but I truly recommend the Explorers Collier Row.

Reply from Richelle Cook, Director at Explorers Collier Row

Thank you for your review. I am pleased that you can see progress with your child's development. We are very lucky to have the access to extra curricular groups come to the setting that are at no extra cost to the parents and this helps us to develop our wider curriculum.

My now 6-year-old started here the first day it opened its doors and she loved it. My 1-year-old now attends and has done since he was 9 months old. I have all my trust in the ladies who look after him, he is loved within the nursery and I have so much confidence in the way they look after the children

I don’t worry at all. Thank you Explorers for putting my mind at ease having to return to work.

Amazing place, where kids are truly looked after and supported with their learning progress. Caring staff, safe environment and fantastic activities- everything you really want and need for your child. Safeguarding is a priority in Explorers. Playing area has been currently renovated and kids now how

extra room with lovely playing stations. You won’t find there noisy, flashing toys- but lots of natural texture, role-playing, Montessori, cooking and baking activities. Children are learning about phonics, gardening, and different cultures. And each day spend as much time as possible outdoors. Explorers team is simply amazing. Doing absolutely fantastic job! They will make sure your precious child is looked after and will communicate with you throughout the day if there is a need. They are caring and kids love them! Would highly recommend Explorers Collier Row.

Thank you for your review. It means a lot to the staff to receive feedback from families. The extension of both the garden and nursery are being enjoyed by the children which is fantastic!

Best nursery in the area!
My eldest went and he loved it never had any issues he didn’t want to leave. Currently, my other 2 kids go and they both love it so much that my daughter cried to go more days and the manager is so friendly and accommodating and managed to get her in for another afternoon

so she goes 4 afternoons a week now and she has come on so much since she has been going. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, my kids all adore them and even my eldest who’s now 6 still gets hugs every time he goes in with me to pick up. When I’ve needed additional sessions it’s never been a problem unless they are full. They do so many activities with the kids and get people coming in to do different activities with them too and they come out of the nursery telling me about what they got up to for the session. Going to be really upset when my youngest leaves for school but I 100% recommend them.

Reply from Richelle Cook, Director at Explorers Collier Row

We are all delighted that the children have a great time with us! Thank you for your lovely comments - it's really nice to know that the team are doing a wonderful job!

I can’t praise the staff here enough! They’re absolutely amazing! My son has been going here for longer than 2 years now and he’s so happy to go every morning. The staff are so attentive and welcoming. He’s always learning something new and his behaviour has improved massively since he started attending
