My son started in the Toddler Room (T1) in July 2019. From day 1 the staff were really friendly and welcoming and he settled in very quickly. He loves going there and is always coming home singing songs and rhymes from throughout the day! The staff are lovely and I cannot recommend Creative Explorers
enough!

We have been so satisfied with Creative Explorers. It has been a perfect fit for our son who has really thrived and is always happy and proud to put on his nursery bag to head out in the mornings. In just a short amount of time, we have seen great developments in his independency. Our son talks about
the nursery teachers when we are at home, which is a true sign of their attentiveness and great care. As parents, we have never had any qualms leaving him in their care, and it is a joy to pick him up and see him happily playing along with his friends.

Our son has been attending Creative Explorers since he was 10-months old and we are delighted with the level of care he receives. The staff is incredibly kind, supportive, caring and patient with the children and they come up with lots of creative activities. They also take the children out every day,
to the local park or to see ducks by the canal. We always receive detailed feedback at the end of the day. Our son absolutely loves going there and has built a strong relationship with his key person. I highly recommend them.

Creative Explorers are amazing! The staff are so kind and caring, and they always provide a fantastic range of imaginative activities for the children. Our daughter is so happy there, and she learns so much; she even runs from the car to nursery every morning as she is so excited to go to nursery.
The
communication with parents is also excellent; we get detailed feedback every day, and we love seeing the updates on the Tapestry app.
We couldn't be happier with the nursery.

I can't express enough how fantastic Creative Explorers Day Nursery is: I've never once felt apprehensive or worried about leaving our son in the care of any staff member and after a terrible experience at another nursery, they've been a complete breath of fresh air. Every staff member is lovely: we're
greeted warmly at drop-off and pick-up and it's obvious that our son has a whale of a time there. He is content, happy and very affectionate with the carers and in particular with his key worker who I must give a big shout out to. The care and attention she takes to relay tales of the day and how much she enjoys spending time with him means a lot to us. There are so many activities for the children to get involved with and the nursery takes care to involve the parents and family- we had a wonderful time at the recent Christmas party and his first Sports Day last year. Most importantly, Creative Explorers listen to your needs and always put the children first. Thank you, all of you.

Both my children attend the two Creative Explorers Day Nurseries. We are so happy with the service and supper. All of the nursery staff are friendly and very child-centred.
Both my children settled well and quickly, and both boys have developed really close bonds to some of the staff. The staff are
always welcoming and happy to chat.
I am very happy and would recommend the nursery to my friends. In fact, two of my friends already use the same nursery! Which is great. We are looking forward to the reopening of the garden which I’m sure will be brill.

I have been thoroughly impressed by the care and support provided by Creative Explorers Day Nursery. My son loves going to preschool and has a full and rich creative learning experience. The outdoor facilities set Creative Explorers Day Nursery apart from other North London nurseries, especially in
Crouch End. They have outdoor play and other activities at least twice a day, rain or shine; exactly what the kids need. Keyworkers are committed practitioners and I have always been impressed by their patience and energy. A stable workforce is a key strength of this preschool. Creative Explorers is our home away from home.

We have felt supported and served by the professional staff at Creative Explorers Day Nursery. Our overall experience has been of a caring, dedicated, coordinated team. It is clear they think about the care they provide, work together to offer a range of activities and meals, give us regular feedback
on my son's wellbeing and generally make me and my husband feel confident that the best place for him, while we are at work, is with this nursery. For parents without family nearby in London, this is doubly valuable.

Reply from Reena Takhar at Creative Explorers Day Nursery - Hornsey

Thank you for the lovely review! It's a pleasure looking after your little one over the past few months and watching him grow and blossom into the confident, curious explorer he is!

Our boys love Creative Explorers. One went to the pre school the year before starting school and had a great time. The facilities are amazing with great outdoor space. Our youngest is currently in Toddlers and absolutely loves going in. The staff have all been brilliant throughout the different settings.
The owner is extremely helpful and lovely!
Having an early years teacher in the preschool is a particular bonus too.
Couldn’t recommend Creative Explorers more.

My two boys (1 and 3 years old) both love it at Creative Explorers. The staff are incredibly caring and I have never had any worry about my children when they are at nursery. There is lots of feedback about what the boys do during the day. The rooms are big and bright and the preschool has a lovely
garden. My 3-year-old is learning so much at preschool that he is constantly surprising me. I recommend the nursery to local people all the time and really can't praise it enough.

My daughter has been at the baby and toddler site since she was 11 months old (she's now 18 months) and I could not be happier with the care she has received there from all of the staff. Everyone has worked so hard to care for her and shown so much kindness and love. Leaving your child in someone else's
care is such a huge decision, but we have been so pleased that we found Creative Explorers and have only positive things to say about it!

Our experience with creative explorers has been nothing but positive. We have been made to feel very welcome and they have looked after our little one, the youngest there very well indeed for 3 days a week while Mum went back to work. We're now leaving London, otherwise would have stayed with them through
pre-school. Very professional, hardworking and flexible.

Our son attended both the nursery and preschool at Creative Explorers. He has developed a great deal during his time there and was supported by a great staff and a fantastic key worker. The Creative Explorers team did very well in providing a safe and comfortable environment in which our son could express
himself and play freely. We also appreciated the way they always kept us informed about his activities, interactions with the other children, his speech development and his meals. During this time he has come off nappies and we couldn't have done his potty training without Creative Explorers.

My son started the pre-school a month ago and in this time, my son is now out of nappies, which I found really hard to do myself. My son’s key worker, worked really hard providing support and advice in to how we could work together to accomplish this at home and at school.
He is socialising with people
and children so much more, which not only I have noticed. Already you can see how much my son has grown and it is all down to the staff of Creative Explorers, I am so grateful.


All the staff are so welcoming and have created such a warm and loving environment. Even when I go to pick him up, I have a chat with all staff and they can all tell me how my son has been, what they have been doing and have made my son’s first schooling experience so special.


The staff have a special talent of making my son feel so special every time he goes to school and has made me feel so at ease I can talk to the staff about anything. I feel this should be recognised.

Our son went here from the age of 1 and loved it. He initially found the transition from home quite challenging but the staff did everything they could to help him settle and he did get there eventually and he has grown into a confident little man who loves going to nursery. He has especially enjoyed
all the songs and dancing. They put on lots of special events including the hatching of ducklings this year! The baby journal allowed us the keep track of his sleep, eating and nappy changes. He was very fond of the food too and nearly always "ate all"! We found dealing with the management very straightforward - from booking a place, to paying via childcare vouchers to terminating the contract; this was always an efficient, easy experience and the nursery is quite obviously managed to a very high standard while retaining the personal touch of a family business. I can wholeheartedly recommend Creative Explorers. We cannot thank the whole team enough for all the love and care they have shown our son.

My child has really developed at Creative Explorers. My wife and I are in the creative industries so wanted a nursery that values creativity. Although he goes just 3 days a week, he can't wait to go in in the mornings and seems to really enjoy his days. The staff are really nice and well trained. The
facilities are really good too. They seem to do lots of interesting things, many creative. The big mystery is how they manage to get him to eat things we can't get him to eat like fish fingers? We have loads of nurseries in the Crouch End, Hornsey area so was spoilt for choice. We are really happy we picked Creative Explorers. As for cost, probably the best value for money in N8.

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.
