Excellent, well-run nursery that both of my kids have been so happy at. My eldest has just left to go to school and spent 4 very happy years here, always so keen to go each day. His experience in every room has been amazing with great staff that made him feel so comfortable. My youngest has just moved up to the toddler room and had the best experience in the baby room, such brilliant, nurturing staff who she formed such strong bonds with straight away. From day 1 she's been so happy to go to nursery every day and is just as happy in the toddler room. Have recommended this nursery to my friends and would recommend it to anyone in the Farnham area!

Our youngest has just finished at Curious Explorers. We moved out of the area and kept him in the setting for a further year because of how settled he was and how amazing the team are. We could not be happier with the care and service offered at Curious Explorers. It truly felt like an extension of our home. The manager and Deputy were easy to talk to and communication was always good. The baby team was amazing with our little one and we honestly felt like they loved him as much as we do. Always greeted him with big smiles and excitement and was full of cuddles when he was upset, to begin with. He has loved all the activities and outings. The use of the app to see what he's up to through the day has been great and such a comfort when I was anxious. His observations and photos in the app have been amazing and we will get this printed to keep the memories. He enjoyed boogie beat sessions. It's a small setting where you get to know all the team. We loved it here.

Both of my children have been through curious explorers and have had such a lovely time. The staff are friendly, caring, and caring for the children. My children go in with a smile every day and come out beaming. The manager and her team do an amazing job and I'll miss them all when we leave. Highly recommend this nursery.

I have had two children at Curious Explorers, with my youngest now about to head off to school in September. I feel very lucky to have found Curious Explorers, the staff are kind, caring, and supportive of the children. They create a lovely homely environment full of fun and laughter. Both of my children have absolutely thrived at Curious Explorers, they've always felt comfortable and safe with the staff, and as a Parent, I could honestly not ask for more. With my eldest, the nursery was great and helped me get my son's EHCP in place before he started school which was a massive help. They supported my son with his autism diagnosis and helped him with 1-2-1 support making sure my son's needs were always met. We have enjoyed being part of the Curious Explorers family and they have played such a special role in our children's lives setting them up perfectly for the next step to school. I know my daughter will miss the staff terribly.

My husband and I will always be so grateful that we chanced upon Curious Explorers for our youngest daughter. She was born a week after the lockdown and, possibly due to the circumstances, was always nervous & very clingy. The warm and friendly atmosphere at CE is exactly what we needed. The close-knit staff body are so kind & caring, & has played a large role in nurturing our daughter into a confident and enthusiastic child, who is now fully prepared for school. In addition, all members of staff are so approachable and they've always accommodated any requests we've made for the odd early start. A plethora of activities are incorporated into each day - we're never short of stories about what's happened each day. I really can't rate CE high enough and can say with complete confidence that any other parents we know whose children have attended would say the same. Thanks to the manager and your fabulous team! We'll miss you!

We have had two children come through the Farnham nursery with our eldest just leaving. Our experience as a family has been wonderful. The team in each room are very supportive and our children have both built positive, caring relationships with them. The management bends over backward to accommodate changes in days/hours and has been a huge help even with last-minute requests.

Both my children thoroughly enjoyed their time at Curious Explorers Farnham. The staff works hard to create an environment that nurtures a love for learning with care and kindness at the heart of all they do.

Both of my daughters attended Curious Explorers and had a great experience. The staff are attentive and nurturing and the environment is enriching with lots of activities laid on to let the kids learn and explore.

Wonderful nursery. Nurturing, gentle, and reliable environment to leave your children. Excellent preschool education and developmental support. Kids are ready, confident, and excited for school. Wonderful meals.

A nurturing and lovely nursery. A very small chain, which places the well-being and experience of children at its heart. Staff are excellent and the nursery places a lot of emphasis on staff development and training. The result is that staff seem to stay on, giving the children and parents stability. Staff know the children really well, care for them and support their development. Forest school is a lovely extra bonus, as is the general flexibility (extra days, hours as needed). Would strongly recommend.

My son has just finished at Curious Explorers and is about to start big school! I literally cannot praise this nursery highly enough, they have been absolutely amazing. From the homely facilities, through to the warm and loving staff, I have always had absolute confidence my boy was being cared for as I would at home. They were fantastic at updating me on how he’s doing and what he’d been up to each day, and always patient with me and reassuring if I ever needed to call to check on him! The activities they did were so creative and I loved hearing all about them, especially when they’d been out to the forest school. I recommend them to every parent I meet and feel very lucky to have gotten a place. Thank you so much to all the staff for making our son's journey from toddler to pre-schooler magical and making him (and me!) as ready for big school as he can be!

We have had such a positive experience at Curious Explorers Day Nursery and Pre-School. Both our daughters love their time here. The manager and the team are fantastic and so friendly and approachable. The forest school aspect is great. We would highly recommend this nursery.

We've had both our daughters at Curious Explorers, and have experience of the baby room through to pre-school. We've been incredibly happy with the care and attention the staff give to the children and the extent to which they keep parents involved and updated. The management team are also brilliant and couldn't be more helpful. Our girls have loved their time there and always come out with big smiles on their faces, full of stories about all the things they've been doing. Our eldest was really well-prepped for school, which I'm sure helped her settle in quickly. Forest school and book of the month (around which activities are structured) are real highlights. Would 100% recommend!

Our two girls have both been at Curious Explorers Day Nursery and Pre-School for the last three years and have loved every minute. All the staff are brilliant and we could not be happier with the care and attention our girls have received. I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough!

Curious Explorers Day Nursery and Pre-School offers a fantastic pre-school environment. The team have been extremely caring and nurturing. They are friendly, welcoming and very supportive and are always on hand to offer guidance and listen to a child’s needs. Our daughter has loved her time at Curious Explorers, she has grown and thrived under their kind care. The staff are fantastic and the food and activities on offer are brilliant. She will be going to reception in September but we will miss the team, we can’t praise them enough for the kindness and support they have shown us and our daughter.

Fantastic nursery. Our daughter (who has special educational needs) has made amazing progress under the care of this nursery. The staff have been amazing with her and have built excellent relationships with her. We loved that we could see what she has been doing through regular app updates. The food (cooked onsite, all fresh) has been great. We could not have wished for a better nursery to develop our daughters social, physical and cognitive skills.
07 August 2021
Curious Explorers has been a home away from home for our child for the past few years. It has great activities but its main quality is its lovely caring staff. They always put the children first and have been very flexible when needed. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend t a friend.

My son has been at Curious Explorers Day Nursery for just under three years and I have been so impressed with the standard of care he has received in that time. The staff are all fantastic and they all evidently really care about the children they look after. I have received updates regarding my son's progress throughout via the app. The photos, comments and progress indicators have all helped to reassure me that my son is a) getting a great start to his academic and social life and b) having a brilliant time. I do have an experience to compare as his older sister was at a different nursery before we moved house and Curious Explorers offer a superior experience for both the child and parent. I have no plans to have any more children but if I did I wouldn't hesitate to send them to Curious Explorers.

Curious Explorers provides a wonderful, small, caring environment for your children to grow in. Our daughter blossomed into a confident, happy, chatty girl. They really showed their strength during lockdown as they remained open, caring initially for keyworker and vulnerable children, and then for all children. The staff are so kind, enthusiastic, caring, creative and fun. Other highlights are forest school and wonderful food.
24 July 2020
Curious Explorers has provided an excellent daycare environment for my daughter over the last 3 years. The staff are always friendly and welcoming. It is well organised and they keep you well informed on events and your child's development and needs. My daughter is always happy going to Curious Explorers and talks fondly of the team. I have always felt confident leaving her in their care, and knowing it's a safe environment. She is always doing fun activities, and I love seeing and hearing about them. They are flexible when they can be and will try to support you wherever they can. They were fantastic at identifying my daughters speech difficulties at an early stage, providing activities at home and preschool to overcome this. I would highly recommend Curious Explorers, and appreciate everything they have done to help my daughter grow into the confident, happy child she is today.
