Elm Park Explorers is an amazing, clean, safe, fun and well-resourced nursery. Our little girl loves every moment that she attends and regularly comes home with arts and crafts that she has created. She always has a smile on her face and this is a testament to the management team and all staff looking
after the children. As a parent, knowing your child is safe, warm and having fun whilst learning is everything we look for. Thank you for continually making our little girl smile and helping her on her development journey.

A truly brilliant nursery, which my son loves! Great staff that always have time to give an update at the end of the day. Friendly and clearly love the kids. My son enjoys both structured activities and free playtime as well as trips out in the local area. We see him staying there until school age.
Best nursery in the area. Five stars.

My little one started at Explorers when she was approaching nine months. In the four months she has been attending, the team have been excellent and I have returned to work knowing my daughter is having the best time and being extremely well cared for. Myself and my husband have been kept up to date
constantly and communication with the Bell Room Team and her key person has been outstanding. Would not send my daughter anywhere else, I don't think she would let me!

My daughter started at Explorers Elm Park when she was 5 months old and is now 15 months and going full time. I could not have asked for a better nursery; they keep you up to date with their day through the app, they send pictures and observations and always have great activities for the children. She
has developed so much and is really enjoying it. The staff are all very caring and update the parents regularly on their children's progress. Thanks to all the staff at Explorers Elm Park.

Great nursery, I can see my daughter developing even though she only goes one day a week on Thursdays. Staff are attentive and very friendly which is a big plus! Management can be reached easily and if any concerns these are addressed at ease.

At first, I was reluctant and had mixed feelings about my baby going to nursery at all. After a couple of months, I only regret not taking her earlier! I am so happy and pleased with this nursery! She is always so happy and over the moon to play and have fun! They are always busy exploring with lots
of well-thought-out activities. She absolutely loves messy play (my personal favourite are creative ones because they get to keep their masterpieces). I cannot praise them enough, entire team is all hands on deck! There are updates and regular reports about your child and their progress too. Hence I cannot recommend it enough! The absolute best! Keep up the good work!

Absolutely love Explorers Elm Park and all the staff. They are all so welcoming to my son. It is so obvious they adore him, and he adores them back.
The updates throughout the day are so reassuring, and it’s lovely to see what activities they have done.
I would highly recommend Explorers!

I highly recommend this nursery. We moved my three year old son here in March and he settled immediately. All of the staff have made him feel so welcome and cared for, as well as providing us with lots of reassurance. The facilities and activities are amazing, management are very helpful and well organised
and the level of communication is exceptional. He loves to tell us about his day and really looks forward to attending.

My son started late February just before his second birthday. It was a big decision during these worrying times but from the moment we viewed and the owners showed us around we were put at ease straight away. Explorers is a breath of fresh air. I feel lucky that it came along at a time we desperately
needed it. The app is wonderful and we are kept up to date. The food sounds lovely and the activities look brilliant. I’m really pleased that the nursery has a garden too, as we didn’t expect that. Thank you for making us, our son and our older daughter on pick up, who loves a chat, feel welcome at Explorers Elm Park!

Reply from Richelle Cook, Director at Explorers Elm Park

We are delighted that you are happy with the nursery and that you all feel welcomed. We strive for a 'home from home' environment and a massive thank you for choosing an Explorers nursery.

My son has been at Explorers Elm Park now for a few months and he absolutely loves it! The staff are amazing and very understanding to anxious parents leaving their child in their care. The regular updates through the day are brilliant and the communication at drop off and pick up times is wonderful.
I can already see a difference in my son, he learns something new every day and loves telling us all about his day. The setting itself is lovely and creative. Perfectly clean and a comfortable and safe environment for all children attending.

Elm Park Explorers have been excellent from the start. The team are great at communicating and are always warm and friendly. My son clearly enjoys his time here and is becoming increasingly confident and communicative at home too. I feel at ease knowing he is cared for and supported so well by the nursery.
The regular app updates and photos, as well as the development observations are great. The site is welcoming, clean and has plenty of activities/equipment. Highly recommend.

This was our first experience of leaving our daughter outside our family circle and we obviously had concerns on how she would deal with this. However, the staff were brilliant in dealing with our concerns and the updates received on the initial day and even now, what we still receive throughout the
day are very good, this also gives a good insight into seeing what they are up to. The staff are very good and the setting is ideal with plenty of activities available, also its reassuring to see how close an involvement the owners of the nursery have on a daily basis. Our daughter absolutely loves going there and we had seen a noticeable difference in her progression since we put her into the nursery, so another plus point for us.

Thank you for your kind comments and I’m delighted you have trusted us to care for your little one. The app is a wonderful tool for us to keep in touch and share the day with you!

My son has been attending the nursery for one month now and he absolutely loves it! The staff are all lovely and you can tell they care about their job. They are extremely tentative, caring and helped my son settle into the nursery very quickly, which has put my mind as a parent at ease. I am constantly
updated on my son’s progress throughout the day and it is nice seeing the variety of activities that are provided to the children. Would highly recommend!

My little boy has recently started with Explorers Elm Park and I cannot tell you how pleased I am to have picked this nursery. The staff are absolutely amazing with him, and the care he receives is fantastic. The nursery itself is also amazing with a garden and three floors which are all full of great
toys and bits for them to play with. The nursery also uses an App that enables me to see how my boy is getting on, including seeing pictures and videos of how much fun he is having. They also tell you what and how much he has eaten, outings and naps etc. It's great and good to just be able to see what he's up to, without having to call. The staff are always doing so much with him including painting and sensory play. As a first-time mum, going back to work is a daunting time but the staff have settled him in so well and have made me feel so reassured. I couldn't recommend Explorers Elm Park enough.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.972)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.972) out of 10 for Explorers Elm Park is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.972 for Explorers Elm Park is calculated as follows: ( (210 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 216 Ratings = 4.972

  • 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 Explorers Elm Park is based on 18 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 42 number of registered child places is 8.4, which has been reached with 18 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.
