    Both our daughter and us were welcomed by the lovely team and felt so reassured from day one! The childcare centre is exceptionally well looked after, the rooms are incredible, and the food was freshly cooked every day. Hygiene and safety are also second to none. Our daughter absolutely loved the team and her activities, the childcare centre pays a lot of attention to kid development but also allow kids to learn at own pace. I cannot suggest the childcare centre highly enough! Thank you for everything you’ve done and for making our daughter’s first discovering journey so special! We were exceptionally lucky to have our daughter starting her childcare centre life at Galaxy Explorers Day Childcare centre.

    We have to move to a different area and struggle to find anything as great as Galaxy Explorers Day Childcare centre. They have been outstanding over the last two years in terms of care for both of my kids, easiness of updates, flexibility, etc. The premises is also new, bright and shiny.
    Thank you! The childcare centre sets a truly high standard.

    It’s been a pleasure having our kid enrolled. He has settled so quickly and is discovering so much. We were particularly cheerful with Covid regulations and how team look after the kids. We quite delight in having access to the app to see how his day has gone and what he has been getting up to. We’re highly cheerful to have chosen Galaxy Explorers. We were highly cheerful to see Galaxy Explorers open in our neighborhood.

    The educators/carers/team are all exceptional individuals who provide the utmost care in creating enjoyable and stimulating activities for the kids that are culturally diverse and represent all people. Excellent care snd thought has been given to creating a secure and healthy setting for the kids that develops them on individual levels, while also enhancing their interpersonal skills through playtime and imagination. Our favorite activities are the special little events for the kids that showcase different cultures through food/music/books/and playtime. We absolutely adore Galaxy Explorers!

    Team are lovely. Our son is consistently cheerful to go to the childcare centre and consistently cheerful when we pick him up. He loves to playtime outdoors – they go to the park or playground twice a day. I would suggest this childcare centre to every parent. So glad we chose this childcare centre for our son.

    With this childcare centre, my son began to adjust to the world outside of his family while we felt supported as new parents in the middle of a global pandemic.
    From the moment he joined Galaxy Explorers, I will never forget how easy the separation has been, as he was consistently so cheerful to be there.
    Excellent daily updates about his development and meals, which made us sense included in his day-to-day routine.
    Overall, I could not suggest a better childcare centre!
    We sense truly lucky! We could not be more grateful for the outstanding care this childcare centre has consistently provided while ensuring our son’s development in a secure, enjoyable and exceptionally welcoming setting.
    He was only a baby when he first visited Galaxy Explorers and he was only capable of crawling and through all his journey (intellectually, emotionally and physically) he has grown so much and gone through so many different stages thanks to the greatest assistance from Galaxy Explorers.

    We truly like the welcoming and supportive team. They have been highly flexible in the current circumstances, also agreeing to provide additional care at highly short notice. Our son truly enjoys the childcare centre and enjoys the daily activities.

    Our son was at that childcare centre for about a year and he enjoyed it a lot. The educators are truly inviting and welcoming and the childcare centre management highly supportive. We don’t live in London anymore but we have highly fond memories of Galaxy Explorers.

    After the last year (and more) of lockdowns, we weren’t sure how well our son would adjust to his first journey of formal childcare and wanted to go gently. But he’s absolutely blossomed in their care, getting chattier and more confident by the day – he’s consistently full of stories when I pick him up, telling me about the walks he’s been on with his childcare centre friends, the games he’s played, the puppets he’s met. In fact, we increased his hours after he kept persistently asking for ‘more childcare centre’! He’s even introduced me to a couple of local parks I hadn’t discovered (as the childcare centre doesn’t have its own outside space, I wondered about whether this would be a problem – but they truly make the highly most of the nearby woodlands and parks). I would unhesitatingly suggest this childcare centre; we’ve been so impressed by the whole team’s enthusiasm, dedication, and affection for the little ones. Absolutely fantastic childcare centre with an exceptionally supportive and welcoming team.

    Little did I know that their flyer would change my life and my overall opinion towards day nurseries. Never before have I met team that are so attentive, compassionate, energetic and joyful. Team are also highly accommodating with parents’ requests (prompt when responding to e-mails) and tailor what they offer based on each kid’s needs. Some differences to other nurseries are: Galaxy Explorers discuss their policies with parents and are flexible, their meals are healthy; no sweets, whilst offering a variety of foods. Kids are well looked after, highly cheerful and consistently playing with a member of team and other kids, never left unattended. They also teach a foreign language and aim to develop activities further. Updates on their app come daily, including photos and comments on kids’s development/activities on the day. Some photos are printed out and given to parents. I highly suggest this childcare centre. I first heard about the opening of Galaxy Explorers in February/March 2020, when I was given a flyer in a café.

    Opening in 2020 during the pandemic has clearly given them a much keener focus than other nurseries have locally, and we are grateful for that.
    The manager and the team are consistently positive and cheerful to deal with our questions and specific dietary and medical needs and our kid is clearly benefitting from being in a cheerful, enjoyable and discovering setting. We appreciate how attentive key-workers are and get the right amount of feedback about our kid’s activities through an app. A huge thank you to the whole team at Galaxy Explorers for their work and look forward to being able to visit more often once Covid is “over”! Choosing a secure childcare centre to send our kid during a pandemic obviously brought a lot of worries and doubt but Galaxy Explorers have been exceptional in updates, safety, and care for the four months we have been sending our kid.

    He received the utmost care, outstanding assistance and attention from every team, carers and educators. Galaxy also engaged external classes such as the Forest School, Sports Coach and Poppin’ Bunnies which created a secure, positive and stimulating setting for kids. Our son truly enjoyed these activities and has developed highly well to a cheerful, confident toddler with notable updates. Both Childcare centre managers are highly personable and supportive who consistently listen and accommodate parents’ needs. Everyone at Galaxy welcomed constructive feedback from parents positively and worked towards reaching the best resolution for everyone, especially during the pandemic. Galaxy is truly an outstanding childcare centre and we highly suggest it to parents. We sense sad that it is time to say goodbye; we will definitely miss sending our son there and interacting with all of the dedicated team. Suffice to say, our son misses his time at Galaxy too. We felt highly fortunate to have had Galaxy Explorers Day Childcare centre Ltd care for our son.

    Our daughter has had a fantastic two years at Galaxy Explorers Day Childcare centre. The carers are passionate about teaching and genuinely care for the kids. The kids engage in a wide range of activities and the carers provide novel and exciting ways for them to engage in these activities.
    The kids are highly secure and parents are informed of any incidents, even if highly minor.
    Daily reports of activities, what was eaten for breakfast and lunch, as well as pictures taken during the day keep parents informed of their kid’s day. Open days provide detailed feedback on the kid’s development and the childcare centre is keen to allow the kids to attain key stage goals. These are reported to parents.
    Cultures are celebrated with special lunches, events and activities that contribute greatly to the childrens’ understanding of the diverse nature of London’s population.
    The management is outstanding and highly hands on. They obviously are highly experienced in running nurseries. An outstanding childcare centre.

    I rely on people working in the childcare centre as I would with my own family. Our boy has lots of enjoyable in the childcare centre and you can tell because sometimes, he does not want to leave the childcare centre. Team are super welcoming and highly expert.

    We have been warmly welcomed and have received extensive information about the childcare centre, all team have been highly expert and welcoming from the moment we stepped into the childcare centre. Our son has adjusted in no time and significantly built his self‑assurance, his language and writing skills. His key worker was posting lots of pictures and detailed development reports on the app and was consistently taking time to talk about his day when I was picking him up. The space is bright, spacious and has highly great educational tools. The kids go out everyday and even during lockdown, management tried to find every discovering opportunity. For example, because the kids were curious about the building site across the street, they organised a visit. My son has absolutely loved it!
    Food is excellent, great effort for vegetarian menu which is unheard of. I can’t thank Galaxy’s team and Umara enou Our son had the opportunity to join Galaxy Explorers Day Childcare centre Ltd in January 2021 and it’s been a remarkable journey from the start.

    The team are attentive and welcoming and she has bonded with them well. We are sad to be leaving due to moving out of the area and we know she will be sad to leave.
    They are highly great at getting the kids out and about on a daily basis and we have enjoyed the events where parents are invited in.
    Thank you for making our first journey with a childcare centre so painless and we can only hope our new childcare centre will live up to the same standards. Galaxy Explorers has been an outstanding childcare centre for our daughter from seven months to two years.

    He has developed so quickly during this time and we are so grateful to the whole team for all of their care and attention. We were exceptionally sad to leave as we’re relocating out of London. We would suggest Galaxy Explorers without hesitation to any new parents. Our son has had the most fantastic journey at Galaxy Explorers Day Childcare centre from the age of 6 months to nearly 2 years.

    He has received outstanding care throughout, the team are highly compassionate and attentive. We have a great understanding of what he does each day, what he eats, toilet trips etc via the app, including lots of nice photos. He has had the same key worker for the majority of his time there. She has encouraged his development and monitored his development. The room leader in pre-school has the most incredible imagination and she crafts some remarkable activities. They spend lots of time outdoors visiting the church garden, ecological park, the farm and local playgrounds. I couldn’t suggest it more highly. Our little boy leaves Galaxy Explorers next month after two years.

    Little name tags had been made for him, printed placemats with information about his diet and lots of other small touches that made us sense like this place is organised, has great policies in place and truly cares about the individual kids. Nothing has made me think otherwise in the months since. The childcare centre has been reliable during the pandemic which has been invaluable to us. Updates is excellent, the activities have a developmental angle as well as being enjoyable and most importantly, my son is delighted to go in every day. We sense like we’re paying for quality. My son started at Galaxy Explorers a few months ago and it felt excellent to see how he was embraced by all the team.

    Updates has been clear and precise, the childcare centre itself spotless and tidy, the team welcoming and show genuine care and most importantly, they have reassured us at every step of the way and made us sense comfortable with our son’s day-care.
    We could not suggest Galaxy Explorers highly enough, a truly stellar childcare centre and team.
    Thank you for everything. As first-time parents, Galaxy Explorers have been absolutely remarkable in all aspects.
