Amazing experience at Creative Explorers. Our child started at just 6 months and is just leaving now to start school. Throughout he has experienced a loving, safe and nurturing environment. We would highly recommend Creative Explorers to all parents.

Our daughter started her experience at Creative Explorers when she was only 1 year old. Creative Explorers has had a brilliant and caring space for our daughter since she started until now when she is 3 years old. For this reason, we would highly recommend CE to those who are looking for a great nursery in the area. We also would like to take this opportunity to thank the staff members at CE for the care and attention our daughter has received over the last 2 years. Your help and support were crucial to get our daughter ready for a big school! I know she will miss you all so much!

I highly recommend Creative Explorers. My daughters are/have attended the Gisburn Road and another site and the preschool. The environment is nurturing, kind and fun across all sites, and the staff are amazing.

Our two-year-old daughter adores her nursery! We had a rocky start as I was the main carer since her birth, so her settling took a while, but the management and staff were very attentive to our concerns. She now is so excited to go every morning! It is lovely to see her thrive, develop her social skills and make friends. Her appetite became much better too.

Absolutely fantastic nursery. My daughter is thriving here. The staff are great, and there is such a wide variety of activities the children take part in. My little one is so excited to tell me about her adventures when I pick her up. Would 100% recommend this nursery to anyone in the area.

The thing that sets this nursery apart is the staff. Every single one of them has gone above and beyond to support, engage and care for our little boy (and us). He started when he was 16 months old and found it really hard to be away from me initially. The staff were amazing at helping him to feel comfortable in his new environment, they made him a book with pictures to show his journey from home to nursery and back and made sure they planned activities that reflected his interests. Fast forward five months, and he now asks to go to nursery every day! The creativity and resources they use to introduce the children to different themes/events are wonderful. He is flourishing there, and I’m confident he’s in the best hands when he’s away from home - plus the app gives me all the info about his day with pics/videos of what he’s been doing. I was initially worried about the lack of a garden, but they go out to different places (playground, allotment, ducks) all the time which is even better. We’re very happy!

Creative Explorers is a brilliant nursery, staffed by loving people who care deeply about the children they look after. Our experience was positive, with our little boy staying there from 9 months until 2.8 years, transitioning from the baby room to the toddler setting. There are lots of weekly activities for the kids to keep them busy, and the app makes it really easy to see what your little one is up to during the day. We only left because we are relocating and we were really sad to do so.

My son attended Creative Explorers Pre-school one and two from the age of 2 until he left aged 4 to start school. He started as soon as we moved from Zurich. We chose Creative Explorers mainly because of the caring attitude we observed from the staff, who were a constant support to my son and us throughout his time there. The staff were patient, kind and attentive to my son and helped and encouraged him to develop his social and other skills. My son thoroughly enjoyed going to nursery and the friends he made there. We were impressed with the interesting and wide-ranging programme the pre-school had to offer, constantly seeking out new and engaging activities for the children. We were sad when the time came for my son to leave Creative Explorers, but we were reassured by all the support they gave us to prepare for primary school. The staff really make a huge effort and go above and beyond to provide a positive experience for the children and parents.

Our daughter started Creative Explorers when she was one. She’s built confidence and has learned lots of new things, which we never had time to teach her at home, and she built a wonderful relationship with her teachers. While she’s been looked after by different teachers at different stages (T1, T2, P1 and P2) everyone has been absolutely brilliant and very caring and managed to always put her at ease. The management have been very accommodating and flexible with our requirements. I would highly recommend Creative Explorers.

Our son went to Creative Explorers from when he was twelve months to three and a half years old, full time, five days a week. Creative Explorers was a wonderful, engaging and caring space for our son. He made his way up from the baby room, toddler room, to preschool. Staff were very attentive towards our son’s emotional and developmental needs and worked with us as parents to nurture him. He made lots of great little friends and grew and flourished into a confident little person. We appreciated how the nursery provided parents with photos and videos of things they were doing, regular updates of his development. There were always new activities and he learned a lot about different countries, cultures, animals, plants and etc. which he would come back home and talk about. I would highly recommend this nursery, enough that we already plan to send our second child there next year!
19 September 2023
Our daughter has just graduated from Creative Explorers after three years, full time. We could not recommend them highly enough. The staff are hardworking and incredibly caring. The communication and the way they supported new parents like us has consistently been excellent. We feel very lucky. Our daughter misses everyone so much.

I had a great feeling about the Creative Explorers Day Nursery as soon as I chatted with the staff and saw the rooms. I was right to go with my gut and my daughter was with Creative Explorers from the baby room until pre-school. She really thrived there, had a really lovely group of friends and the staff have been fantastic. The environment is warm and nurturing with good structure, clear direction for the children and a focus on play. I felt the menu and good choice was great, it’s cooked fresh on site, with lots of variety and regular snacks. My daughter built lovely bonds with her key workers as well as other staff members and she knew she could turn to them if she needed quiet time/support or help with anything. Overall she loved her time there, and she is missing it already. She is very well prepared for school. Thank you to all the wonderful staff.

My son attended Creative Explorers preschool from 2021-2023 and we absolutely loved it! The teachers are amazing, the garden is massive and full of fun and the curriculum they focus on means that my four-year-old son is going to reception knowing how to read level 1 books, basic maths and loads of interesting facts about geography, life sciences, religion, physiology, etc. I couldn't have asked for a better place to get my son ready for primary school and we will miss Creative Explorers so much.

Our child has been at Creative Explorers Nursery and Preschool. We couldn’t be happier with the experience - the staff is amazing, caring and lovely and there are always lots of creative and fun activities. The management team has always gone above and beyond to support and accommodate us and our child.

My daughter started going to Creative Explorers Day Nursery when she turned one and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The staff at the nursery are amazing. They are always welcoming and show genuine care for the children. She never cried, not even on the first day, and the room transition from T1 to T2 was seamless. The facilities are also great - plenty of toys and activities for the children to enjoy. My child is learning something new every day and I can see improvements in their learning and development. The nursery also keeps me informed about my daughter's progresses. They are easy to contact and always available to answer my questions. Overall, I had a wonderful experience at Creative Explorers. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a nurturing, educational environment for their children. We will be relocating to another country in a month and I am aware that it will be very hard to find an environment that is as good for my daughter to grow and develop.

Choosing a nursery can be intimidating, as are the first few weeks of starting! When I first enquired at Creative Explorers Day Nursery, I didn't find the initial conversation with top management welcoming. But I am pleased that I persevered and enrolled our daughter. It was important to us to find somewhere stimulating and fun but also, fundamentally, a safe environment. In turn, we found a nursery where the staff were incredibly nurturing, supportive and caring (especially during transitions, sleep and potty training). During her time at Creative Explorers, our daughter developed from a shy, reserved little toddler to a confident, independent pre-schooler. She's been taught valuable lessons and made incredibly strong bonds with other children and staff. The nursery are constantly putting on new activities and events for children and parents. So much energy and effort goes into everything they do! We have had consistent communication through apps, calls and daily feedback. We would highly recommend the nursery to others.

My son loves going to Creative Explorers Day Nursery and talks about the activities they do in class when he comes home in the evening. The staff are caring but also can be firm and ensures they instil discipline and the right values in the children. Creative stands out for the events they organise for the kids, from summer parties to bringing in animal/insect handlers (the kids were super excited) to getting the local policemen to talk to them about what they do. They even brought in real reindeer for the Christmas parties. It's the thought that goes into these that makes them exceptional.

Cannot rate this nursery highly enough. My daughter started at 9 months old, during Covid and they made the whole transition effortless. She absolutely loves going to nursery and her development has been incredible. All of the staff care so much for all the children. It really is a small family! My daughter has a food allergy and they have been great at managing this.

Great nursery. Loads of activities and good outdoors. Our daughter has become a little lady in the time spent here. All her teachers couldn’t be more helpful and kind. I’m really grateful for all you’ve done. My daughter will miss you all! Thank you.

Creative Explorers Day Nursery is a wonderful nursery that my son has really benefitted from. All the staff, from the carers to the management are fantastic and genuinely have the children’s best interests front of mind all the time. My son has loved going there and has flourished under their care. For me, the best aspects of the nursery (apart from the care provided by the staff) are the variety of creative activities offered (from discovering new countries to cooking) and the nutritious and healthy meals provided. The reason I have given four stars for facilities/outside space and resources is because there is no outside space dedicated to the nursery and the inside space is fairly compact; however, the children are taken out every day (weather permitting) and there is some indoor play equipment. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the nursery to any parents.
