We are super pleased we chose Little Explorers for our son who started in their brand-new baby room back in August 2022. Nearly 2 years on, our son is still thriving in every aspect of his development as a result of the nursery and the excellent facilities, spiral curriculum and activities that the
staff have carefully planned to encourage every child in their care. My son loves turning up daily to see his friends, and each of the happy, friendly and caring members of staff. He particularly loves all of the extracurricular opportunities that have been offered as well as being outside playing, regardless of the weather! We have recently had our second child and look forward to his journey with little explorers too.

Thank you for your lovely review. Your child was the first baby to start in the baby room, and it has been lovely to watch him progress into the preschool room. We look forward to welcoming your new baby soon.

Wonderful, little nursery with really friendly and welcoming staff. Our son likes going to nursery and even talks about his practitioners at home.
Nice, spacious room for the older children, not too cluttered and clear. Always changing topics and offers on the shelves.
The outside area is divided
so the young and older kids play with age-appropriate toys but also come together at times and play happily in the wooded area.
Very happy my two sons have been/are enjoying a wholesome time of their day here.

My son has been at the nursery since a particular staff member took it over and I have to say she and all her team are amazing! My little boy has thrived here and although he is about to start his school journey in September I am hoping to schedule half-term care for him here once he does start school
as their support has been, well I don't even know if I can put it into words. My son has thrived under their care and is so ready for school thanks to them. His key worker had been amazing at communicating with me how my son's progression is going and ways that I can help him. They spend as much time as they can outdoors which is great and organise special events for the children such as the recent visit from a professional who brought in lots of animals for the children to hold and learn about. They are constantly improving the setting and are just all incredible people.

Our son has had the most fantastic time at Little Explorers, we couldn't recommend them enough.
They host a range of activities, either nursery-led or sourced with brilliant other companies.
They serve really yummy family/child-loved food too.
If you have a child with additional health needs too
you can be reassured that the care plan is followed and prioritised.
All of the staff are so friendly and really love/care for the children.
You have regular updates, photos, videos on the app which is really lovely to see.
I hope they get the Ofsted outcome they deserve as they really are a fantastic nursery.

I would recommend Little Explorers to anyone who wants their child to feel safe, valued, cared for and know they will be looked after just like you would at home. Just like anyone I was nervous about leaving her at a nursery but right from day one knew it was the right choice.
My child is greeted
with a friendly smile and open arms every day and I can tell just how happy she is to be there.
The team are fantastic and all clearly know her well, even the staff in different rooms are able to greet her and she recognises them.
The baby room is just amazing, the team is so loving and nurturing and goes out of their way every day to make her feel safe and happy.
The outside area is fantastic. They have lots of equipment and toys and always have fun activities including lots of messy play during the week.
My child loves the meals and I love they are homemade!
Overall I am so happy with my choice of nursery and can't recommend them enough.

I am so glad we chose Little Explorers for our daughter! The setting has a lovely homely feeling to it and I cannot talk highly enough of the staff. My daughter has come along so much since starting and her confidence is always growing, the staff put 100% into everything! The staff are always informative,
understanding and helpful, the setting is well equipped, there are always lots of exciting activities, it’s safe, the meals supplied are great, and I recommend this setting to anyone!

My little girl came here from a previous nursery and the girls at Little Explorers settled her in so well, I couldn't have asked for any better care from the girls working here. Even though she's at school now she still talks about nursery and coming back to nursery she loved it so much.

Thank you so much for your kind words. Was a pleasure to have her at our nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.640)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.640) out of 10 for Little Explorers Day Nursery 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 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 7 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 4.940 for Little Explorers Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (80 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.94

  • 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 4.7 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Explorers Day Nursery is based on 7 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 = 3.7

    • 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 7 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.
