    The ladies are lovely consistently give feedback if necessary, they consistently go out of their way to help you and they are consistently available on the app. My daughter can be quite challenging, however, they make sure the right things are in place for her and the only downside I think is you should be allowed the option to send your kid in with a packed lunch rather than them only being allowed the dinners that the childcare centre provides, but overall I’m a very cheerful mummy. 2 out of 3 of my kids attended here and my 3rd kid is due to start in September.

    We, as a family, haven’t got a bad word to say about this childcare centre. My son had been to another childcare centre and would cry and not say a word. Since being here, his speech has professed so far. We can’t thank the team enough! My kid loves going to school.

    I adore that they take the kids for outings to purchase fruit and veg for example. They teach the kids to prepare food/cook, wash and dry up after themselves. No complaints. The team are so nice, the accounts team are so supportive.

    All the childcare centre team are really great with kids. They have different activities for kid development. The kids learn a lot from the childcare centre. All the team are outstanding and extremely nice people. Best childcare centre so far in the Aveley area. My kid is consistently cheerful to be in childcare centre.

    My son currently has special educational needs and is supported by outside agencies with his development and Explorers have been cooperative and keen to work alongside them to help my son development. They use the Famly App which is excellent to keep you updated on your little one throughout the day and seem to be cheerful to chat about any concerns you may have as they arise. They do plenty of activities with the kids to keep them stimulated and provide a substantial meal at lunchtime. Due to my son’s speech delay we were very apprehensive about him attending a childcare centre but the team at Explorers have gone above and beyond to reassure us. My son looks forward to going and absolutely loves it there. My son has only recently started at Explorers Aveley but we are already very impressed with the professionalism, kindness and commitment of all the team.

    They are remarkable with the kids and parents. Our son absolutely loves all of the team, and so do we. They are consistently willing to help, very accommodating and consistently supper welcoming. We are so cheerful we found Explorers.

    as a first-time parent I felt so anxious leaving my son in someone else’s care but within the first 2 days he had settled in so well and his face lit up every time we have taken him since. He was 14 months old fast forward to today he’s now 3 and our daughter is 1 and a half and she’s also been attending the setting since she was 9 months old. They both adore it.

    Team are attentive and considerate of each kid’s needs and attentive when required.
    They’re easy to approach when you have a concern or need something to discuss.
    My two like many toddlers are very fussy eaters yet at childcare centre, they eat everything. The app is very informative and is regularly updated so you know pretty much everything your kid had eaten and done throughout the day. So reassuring.

    It is with such a heavy heart that we have to leave but as we are relocating to Australia next week we know how to search for a new childcare centre there that our kids will hopefully adore just as much. Where do I begin..

    They are super accommodating and reliable. They have an open door policy which is so important for when your little ones start. My daughter has been in this childcare centre since she was one and is now three years old. She has consistently been really settled, learnt so much and is really confident. She has developed her speech so much through childcare centre and I never have worries about her being there. Even as a fussy eater, the team really encourage her to eat well. Cheerful mum!
    My son has recently started and I was really worried about how he would settle because he can be quite fussy. But given how incredible the team and setting are, he has settled amazingly. He has taken so well to the new setting and even after his second session, he has started warming up to other people outside our small family! I couldn’t be more thrilled!
    Thank you Explorers Aveley! You are honestly more than what any parent could ask for! The most incredible childcare centre with incredible team.

    Thank you. My son since he started to go to childcare centre, he is very confident, we can see major developments in his trust in relationships.
    He learned every day, new steps in his evolution, he’s confident with himself and everyone.

    Each day is a school day for the kids with so much to learn and so many varied activities and she consistently goes in with a big smile on her face. This childcare centre is incredible and my granddaughter absolutely loves it.

    As nervous parents (and starting during covid), the management and team could not have supported us better in the transition!
    Our daughter is now four and has absolutely loved being at Explorers. The space is lovely and calming with everything they need. You can tell how considerate they have been with the toys/books provided and areas made up for the kids. They take the kids on outings regularly and absolutely adopt a kid-centred approach.
    Team are attentive and attentive and build a excellent rapport with parents, both at the door and via the Famly app. They listen to any concern and her key person is consistently updating observations and discussing development and development.
    We could not be more pleased with the setting, and most importantly, our daughter has consistently loved going and has thrived there. We’ll be sad to leave when she starts reception – but would suggest the setting to anyone! Our daughter started at Explorers Aveley just prior to turning two, back in 2021.

    By far the best childcare centre I’ve seen. Consistently doing excellent and different activities with the kids. My son has been there for nearly two years and never had a problem, will be very sad to leave come September. Outstanding service as consistently.

    I am very lucky that my daughter attends this childcare centre since October 2020. Incredible Team, you can see how much they care about each kid in the childcare centre. At the end of each day my daughter speaks with enthusiasm about all the activities she did all day. Very thankful that we found this childcare centre! Best Childcare centre in Town!

    He consistently goes in and leaves with a big smile on his face, he has progressed massively in all aspects since attending. The team are incredible and very welcoming. I adore that you get updates all throughout the day of everything they have done and eaten which is exceptional. I cannot fault this childcare centre at all, my little boy loves going.

    They are very creative with the activities and discovering methods. The team are welcoming, and the management is excellent! They are consistently there to answer any questions. The food provided is very great. I would highly suggest this place for any parent! My son enjoyed each day in that childcare centre.

    They have PE class every week, they do phonics and meditation.
    It has helped my daughter so much to improve her updates skills and to have a lot of friends.
    I highly suggest it. Lovely childcare centre, very welcoming team.
    I adore this childcare centre because they are not doing just the basics.

    The app they use is really informative as well. We are moving soon but will still travel to this childcare centre as I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else. Cannot fault this childcare centre, both my kids adore going and they have helped loads with my son’s speech.

    He absolutely loves it. The team are so welcoming and they are consistently evaluating each kid’s development and the parents are informed of their achievements and goals. He adores all the team there and the contact system they use for parents is excellent. I would highly suggest this childcare centre to anyone. Our son has attended this childcare centre since September 2022.

    He is loving it! The team is very welcoming; the place is spotless and bright. They have a excellent menu, and the app keeps up updated on what he is doing during the day. Excellent value for money, and I will highly suggest Explorers! My son started childcare centre in March 2021 after all lockdowns and just before his 2 nd birthday.

    I was told about this childcare centre and told nothing but great things. I sent my son there Sept 22, he has come on leaps and bounds. The team are consistently sharing pictures (with my consent) on the APP. I see what he eats and any wow moments, no matter how big or small. They venture out to parks and fruit stalls and make our kids very independent. The team are lovely and welcoming. I had some personal issues and they have been so adaptable and attentive! I wish I knew of Aveley explorers with my first born. Where do I start?
