As a first-time mum, I was anxious about putting my son in daycare however after visiting the nursery/settling in sessions, I felt much better about the decision and was impressed by the care and attention given. All the staff have made us both feel welcome which has made our new routine much easier. Our son has progressed massively since starting here, his comfort and confidence are clearly visible when attending. Several times when collecting our son, we have been told about what he has done that day and the staff member has told me how proud they are of him; the staff have such lovely bonds with the children. We are kept well informed around personal care throughout the day and activities that the nursery will be hosting, e.g. charity/Christmas events (via an app). I highly recommend this nursery, the staff and managers should all be proud of their achievements and commitment to childcare as they provide such a happy and supportive place for our children to develop.

Our son has additional needs and he struggles socially and with change. The team at Explorers are so caring and have helped him to develop so much. The manager has gone above and beyond in supporting us to ensure he has all of the correct input and future planning for his move to school next year. All of the nursery staff are amazing, they understand our son's needs and have helped him to integrate with the other children more and help to comfort him when overwhelmed. We will be so sad when he has to leave for school, as he is so happy and settled at Explorers.

Explorers is an amazing nursery. My son has been attending since April this year. The staff and managers are top-tier, communication is excellent and I could not possibly feel more comfortable and secure about the setting. My son loves attending and it is evident that all staff make an effort to get to know each child - even across the three rooms. My son's language and communication are continually developing, he is happy and confident. What more could parents want? My son's key worker is excellent and her commitment to my son's development is evident - as is the bond between them. She always gives us a good rundown of his day on collection which is really reassuring as a parent. The baby room staff are all brilliant, the updates on the app are regular and the learning activities provided are varied and fun. Can't fault Explorers. My son is in safe, competent hands!

This is such a beautiful nursery which I couldn't recommend enough. My daughter has attended this nursery for the last 6 months and settled in extremely quickly thanks to the love and care from all the staff. Due to us moving house, my daughter had to transition into a new nursery which I was worried about at first but the staff here made my daughter so comfortable and welcome that she settled in very quickly. I cannot thank the Manager and the team enough for their input into her continued development. Each day she comes home talking about how much fun she had, reading and playing. My daughter is going to miss you all so much, thank you.

The staff make you feel very calm and collected when leaving your child with them. I couldn't recommend this nursery enough. The current Manager is top-tier, extremely helpful and understanding. All staff are friendly and approachable. My child adores it here, he runs in with no issues and is all smiles when he goes in and is all smiles when I pick him up! It is very reassuring!

My daughter attends this nursery and we have been so impressed with the support, care and development. She has come on so much with her communication and language skills with great manners. A great moment was seeing her use sign language! We are so pleased with how things are going and fortunate that we have secured a place for our son later this year.

If you want peace of mind when you leave your little one somewhere, then Explorers is the best possible place. Having previously had a bad experience with my eldest child in nursery, I was so apprehensive about sending my youngest little one somewhere new. The staff here are absolutely wonderful, you get updates throughout the day, a wonderful chat when you collect your little one and when you see how much your child bonds with the staff there, you know the care they get is just second to none. The food is lovely, healthy and varied - and the setting itself is spotless. My little one skips in and her development has been fantastic (especially her singing!) We have been there now for almost 3 years and the team are like an extended family. I would recommend this nursery one million times over!

My children have attended this nursery for over 3 years. All the staff are amazing, so kind and attentive with the children, not just the nursery nurses but the chef and cleaners too. Previously Parklands has now been taken over making it Explorers. I was a little apprehensive with new owners, even though I knew 'Parklands' needed improvement. We attended a welcome meeting where the managers introduced themselves and discussed future plans for the nursery. Everything they discussed has been done. I am more than happy with the changes and feel the nursery has improved massively. Each room has been renovated, uniforms and bags have been provided, a new app is used which gives me updates on my child, what she has been doing, what she has eaten etc. And further staff training. The managers are on the ball with paperwork and getting back to me with any requests. My little one has come on leaps and bounds and skips into nursery! Highly recommend!

I highly recommend Explorers Lydiate for everything they have done for my little boy over the last 18 months. He settled immediately and warmed to the staff and in particular built up such a great bond with his key worker. We have never had any issues at all. Since he started at Explorers shortly after turning one he came on rapidly with his development, particularly his speech. They have also played a massive part in his potty training journey and I owe how quickly he’s done this to the nursery for their encouragement after he saw his friends learning the same. The environment is really friendly, calming and safe and all members of staff are happy to spend time on drop off and pick up discussing how their day has been and their development.

My daughter has attended here for seven months now, and she loves it. The staff are so friendly, the owners are very approachable and professional, and it has recently had a refurb, which is looking wonderful. Would highly recommend!

Great nursery - my little boy loves it. Staff are well organised, and the nursery procedures run smoothly. A lot of time has been spent enhancing and renovating the nursery to create a calm, explorative environment for the little ones. As parents, we are kept well informed of current issues or news relevant to the age groups of the children, which is always useful. We are really pleased with the level of care provided. Thank you to the staff and owners.

Exceptional staff who are educating our granddaughters ready for school. Good communication via the app on what the girls have done on the day, along with food consumed. Management has been very good in accommodating the girls while their nanny is in hospital.

Honestly could not say a bad word about Explorers and their staff. From the nursery teachers to the chefs, everything is done with so much care and attention to ensure the children are happy, healthy, learning, and thriving. My little boy attends for two days and within the time he has been there he has developed so much. My son is always so happy going in and when I pick him up he has a beaming smile and is in a great mood, which solidifies that he is having the best time during the day. We love it so much, and know we made the right decision putting him into little explorers!

I am so happy with the start my son has had to his nursery, Parklands. The manager and all the staff are so approachable and caring towards my son and we have noticed him come on so much since starting there. Can't recommend enough.
21 June 2021
We moved our little boy to Parklands after a house move and he fitted right in, the staff are so welcoming and he has so much fun when he goes. We especially love the photo uploads from the day's activity.

Both my children have attended Parklands nursery - my daughter still being there, she did take a little longer to settle in than my son but now she absolutely loves it and asks every day “is it nursery today” which for me speaks volumes that she wants to go every day. All the staff are fantastic and really friendly, and I especially love all the effort and ideas that they come up with to support her development and teaching her different topics just a few recently mini beasts, healthy eating and looking after ourselves. I would highly recommend this nursery.

This nursery is a great place for children to learn. My daughter attended the nursery and now my son does and they love it. Each member of staff are brilliant and really do go the extra mile. I viewed a large number of nurseries and this stood out and I couldn’t think of any other place I would trust with my children. Now my daughter attends school I always receive comments on how confident and clever she is and it’s because she had a great start by attending Parklands Kirkby and it is definitely money well spent. Cannot thank all the staff enough.

I’ve used the services of Parklands nursery since 2015 for both of my daughters. Both have attended and received high-quality care and been very happy within the setting. The staff are open, approachable and put the children’s welfare first.
21 June 2021
Great service! I am very happy with the staff and nursery! My child cant wait to go there every morning; loves this lovely place. Thank you so much for everything! The staff are extremely helpful and very friendly.
21 June 2021
Our children have been at Parklands for 3-years and have loved every minute. The staff are caring and attentive, and the boys have come on leaps and bounds in their care. The outdoor space is fantastic, and they encourage outdoor play whenever the weather permits. They’ve also been fantastic since being able to open after the first lockdown last year and make sure the kids are in a safe environment every day. Highly recommend!
