Little Explorers Nursery and Forest School, Thornton

A great nursery with lovely, friendly, welcoming staff who adore children. My little boy absolutely loves going and doesn't want to leave! The garden is amazing, far better than anything I've seen at other local nurseries. They always have great activities to keep the children well entertained and they take them on excursions to local woodlands to explore- what more could you ask for? I highly recommend this nursery 😊

My son has attended Little Explorers for over a year and half now and he loves it! He never wants to leave at the end of the day and always wants to go on weekends! He has learnt so much and comes home with new skills every day that surprise me! The outdoor opportunities are incredible and the staff could not be more loving and nurturing! I know my little boy is learning skills for life that you can't achieve from sitting behind a desk and that is thanks to this nursery!

It’s not easy to leave your baby in the hands of others but it’s easy when they are nurtured as my son has been at little explorers! My little boy adores all the practitioners and the other children and has flourished in this unique environment, becoming a truly happy little man.

The owner is a good salesperson, don't be taken in by the spiel .
The children are well looked after most of the time but some fall through the gaps . Our little one left there unable to spell their name & only brought 3 pieces of art home in the whole 2 years but at least had a good time playing outside.

My children love coming to nursery, they're both thriving, and myself and both of them have a great relationship with their key workers. ❤️

Amazing nursery, both my son's attend and they are both extremely happy and have come on leaps and bounds, thankyou :)

Really nice nursery with a great team that run it! Garden is huge and lots to do!

THREE HOSPITAL VISITS FOR MY SON

My son was in their care and as a result had his latest hospital visit August 2021 which will be with him for the rest of his life. He could well have be left with life-long effects from a traumatic incident at Little Explorers and as a mum I just wish I had acted on the warning signs beforehand and taken him out earlier and this would have never happened.

My son was on a trike which had no pedals on either side just spindles, very loose headset and all three wheels were extremely wobbly. My son was at the front along with second child on the back of the tricycle and a third child pushing them both. Three children using that same tricycle in that condition in a professional setting ..….They fell off and my son being at the front I was told hit his head on concrete.
