We can't praise or recommend Creative Explorers Day Nursery enough! Our son started around 12 months old and he went full-time until we moved to a house in a new area a year later so sadly meant he couldn't continue otherwise we would have kept going until he needed to go to school. We already knew
this at the time, but it's really put into context how brilliant Creative Explorers is now we have joined a new nursery who are good, but simply do not compare! What we especially loved was how creative they are with the kids - truly impressive attitude to enabling kids to be curious and the crafts we saw them doing were fantastic. It was reassuring to know that while we were working, they were having so much fun too. The Famly app is excellent so we could see all the pics and updates throughout the day. The menu was impressive too. But our favourite part of the nursery was hands down the staff - they are wonderful, so caring, and we genuinely felt they had our son's best interests at heart. Always.

I have sent both my sons to Creative Explorers and have been using them for childcare for five years. They are an incredibly special place and I have felt so secure and happy about the love and care they have given my children. The staff are kind, fun and loving. I would absolutely recommend Creative
Explorers to anyone!

The staff of Creative Explorers Day Nursery has been extraordinary with our two kids, and they both enjoyed their time there very much! Started in baby room and all the way through pre-school, having fun in the newly refurbished, big garden and playing all the amazing activities the teachers organised
for them! I keep recommending this nursery, good value for money and very supportive management! Thanks Creative for the nice years, for the precious teaching and the care towards our children!

Creative Explorers Day Nursery is a fantastic place for your child or children. My first born was one years old when he started in the baby room and to this day we think it's the best decision we made. At Creative Explorers Day Nursery they focus on your child's needs and the variety of activities they
have is unparalleled. They are really advanced with their teaching methods, have fantastic facilities in both sites, toddlers and preschool and have extremely enthusiastic, professional and responsible staff, who genuinely care about every single child and their development. I can go on forever about how good they are. I'm so happy my child goes there. I have suggested Creative Explorers Day Nursery to many of my neighbouring friends and I am pleased to know that my second child will be starting her exploration at Creative Explorers Day Nursery from September 2021, it is time for her new adventure.

I sent my daughter to Creative Explorers when she was one. All I can say is that’s it’s such a terrific nursery! The kindest staff who were so nurturing it totally put my mind at ease. She settled so quickly and loved going each day. They take them out to the park all the time and do the best indoor
activities, lots of singing/dancing/messy play. My little girl thrived there, slept well, ate well and developed so much. Her speech came on so much! I’m so sad we have to take her out, the only reason being we are relocating out of London. I’m worried I will never find another nursery as good as Creative Explorers. It’s just wonderful.

Of all the nurseries I saw, Creative Explorers Day Nursery stood out for me because it was warm, friendly and caring. My daughter started there at age 13 months until she was over 3 years old. She bonded well with the staff who were attentive and showed genuine care. They use Tapestry, the online journal,
which was a great way to communicate with parents and to get a sense of what they do at the nursery. She loved all the activities and formed close friendships with other children. We were sad to say goodbye.

Creative Explorers Nursery has been recommended to us by a friend, and we have not regretted choosing them. Both our children have been attending this nursery since they were 13 months old. They are now both at the preschool site and they love going there every day. The newly updated garden is just
amazing, children do a lot of activities outdoors. Management, teachers and other nursery staff are all very helpful, caring, and pay a lot of attention to our children. Wish them all well.

Creative Explorers is a very happy and nurturing environment, and the staff really care about the development and wellbeing of all the children. The communication is fantastic, both at the end of the day with key workers and other staff, and from management and via the online learning journal. Our son’s
key worker in particular has so much time for his development and teaching, and they have a lovely relationship. He talks about the staff and the other children when he’s at home, and always seems very happy to be there.

My daughter has attended this nursery since October 2018 and she absolutely loves it there. The staff are ever so helpful and friendly. My daughter really likes the staff and her friends at nursery and mentions this a lot at home. The nursery has an online platform that parents can access via a specific
code. This platform has frequent updates and pictures as well as videos of your little one which is brilliant. Highly recommend this nursery.

The staff are great, good communication and nothing is too much trouble.

We couldn’t be happier with Creative Explorers and the teams. Both of my sons attend the nursery and preschool and they are so caring and attentive towards them.
My smallest had a difficult time settling in and they honestly couldn’t have done more in making this transition as smooth as possible for
all of us.
Really appreciate all they do for our family.

Our son has been attending Creative Explorers since May 2018. He began in the babies room and is now attending the toddler 1 room.
We feel that Creative Explorers is a very special place. The staff are very friendly, loving and caring. The settling in processes are handled with great sensitivity.
The children are kept very engaged through inventive activities and wherever possible trips outside. We are particularly pleased with the level of communication we have with staff regarding our son’s day to day development.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.911)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.911) out of 10 for Creative Explorers Day Nursery - Hornsey is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.911 for Creative Explorers Day Nursery - Hornsey is calculated as follows: ( (164 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 180 Ratings = 4.911

  • b) 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 Creative Explorers Day Nursery - Hornsey is based on 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 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 65 number of registered child places is 13, which has been reached with 15 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
