I highly recommend this nursery and will be signing my daughter up too. The staff are friendly and helpful. They helped wean my son off his dummy and now his speech has rapidly improved as well as him learning to share with others. But more importantly, he absolutely loves it there and loves getting
ready and going to nursery - his excitement makes me a contented mother!

My daughter absolutely loved going here. Shes moved on to big school now, but she still talks about her time at the nursery constantly. Staff communication was amazing. The app is really helpful to know whats going on with the kids while theyre there for the day. Thank you!

My daughter joined this nursery in April 2020 and left in July 2022 and I must say she had a fantastic time there. As parents, we were incredibly happy with the staff and her overall experience. Management changed in the last year, which we were initially nervous about, but the new staff were great
and worked so closely with the previous staff and parents to ensure a smooth transition for the children. Staff are extremely caring. My daughter has developed beautifully while there and was prepared very well for reception.

My daughter had the best time here. She was well looked after and enjoyed every day. Staff are very attentive and caring. The app is brilliant in keeping you informed about exactly what your child has been learning/doing during the day - especially when your little one doesn't give much away! I also
have a nursery learning journey now as a keepsake to look back on in years to come.
Lots of lovely memories. Surprise Easter bunny appearance, cooking, singing, painting, outdoor visits, mud pies from mud kitchen, robot reg and a lovely graduation ceremony at the end. I loved that parking is just right on the door step which makes pick up and drop of a nice experience too. Finally, this place really prepared my daughter for big school. She is a quiet girl who struggled to leave my side in the beginning of nursery. The transition to big school was so smooth. Thank you Explorers.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.947)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.947) out of 10 for Explorers Gidea Park 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.947 for Explorers Gidea Park is calculated as follows: ( (181 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 190 Ratings = 4.947

  • 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 Gidea Park is based on 16 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 32 number of registered child places is 6.4, which has been reached with 16 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.
