"I have nothing but praise for this fantastic nursery. My daughter has gone from strength to strength since she started at My Little Explorers. She comes home absolutely buzzing, has had the most amazing opportunities and her confidence has skyrocketed. The grounds are beautiful and there is so much for children across the age range. The staff are incredible and my youngest is excited to start after hearing lots from her sister."

"We have been with the MLE nursery since it opened and absolutely love it. The setting has a wonderful space for the children, and all the staff are so nurturing. Our son comes home buzzing every day, often teaching us about the interesting facts he's learnt!"

"We’ve been so very lucky to have been with MLE since they opened and attended the Stay and Play sessions before this - I am full of admiration of Sam’s work and the ethos of MLE. I have had experience of another outdoorsy nursery in the area and MLE far surpasses this one - both with its care and attentiveness and also its safety, activities and grounds. This setting is a truly superb environment for young children to spend their early years and my two have thrived there. With such caring and invested staff members, I have always felt fully confident that they are very well looked after.
Each of the age related groups has excellent activities to develop their skills and learning and I am regularly taught all about nature and fire safety and will ask to do our own forest school related activities at home. My children love being outside and have grown hugely in confidence since being at MLE. My eldest particularly enjoyed her beach day too.
The baby and toddler room have been fully supportive of sleep patterns and potty training, helping again to support personal development. This is such a wonderful setting that encourages risk taking, creativity and, at the same time, is fully nurturing and supportive."

"My son has attended this nursery for a year now and loves it. The staff are so caring and wonderful and I really feel like they get to know and understand the children as individuals."

"My son started the nursery just after he turned 2. It is a unique and wonderful setting offering children the amazing opportunity to learn and be themselves amongst nature. I have always felt he and myself have been fully supported as he has gone through different developmental phases. Staff are kind and knowledgeable, ensuring the best possible care for all the children at the setting. My son has come a long way since the beginning and he absolutely loves coming into the forest school at both sites. He loves the staff and considers them all 'his friends'. They encourage his learning, meet his needs, guide him to share and be kind, and they treat him as they would their own - which is all any parent could ask for when entrusting the care of their child to another. The setting is like one big family - staff, children and parents."

"I’ve been very happy with sending both of my children to MLE, the staff are all so friendly, and they have always been so accommodating.
My son has also attended one of the summer camps and thoroughly enjoyed himself.
I especially loved the efforts made for the older children to visit the beach for the day in the summer!"

"My two children have loved their days at MLE and I enjoy picking them up filthy, tired but happy. The staff are all very caring and nurturing. This is a fantastic place for young children to be wild and free out in nature."

"I can't recommend My Little Explorers enough! My little one loves it. I was apprehensive about going back to work and her being at nursery all day, but when we arrive she just toddles off excited to start her day of play and adventure. No tears at the gate ever (first time this has happened, third child lucky). The staff are wonderful and the ethos behind the nursery is so healthy. So much outdoor fun, with mud play, bug hunting, and story time under a tree. We've found the saying, 'no bad weather, just bad clothing' to be totally true. If you get all the gear then there's no issue in winter, they still absolutely love it."

I was concerned about the cold and wet but this does not bother her one bit."

"All three of my children have gone here. Literally the best start to their lives. Confidence, love of nature, fire safety, dexterity, love, happiness, resilience."

"Our eldest has been with MLE since it opened and she absolutely loves it! It is such a happy place to be with incredibly passionate and caring staff.The activities they organise are varied and imaginative, with different themes every week, all inspired by nature and the beautiful forest setting. Our daughter comes home buzzing from her adventures in “the big woods” and her confidence has come on leaps and bounds. We are so glad we have been able to give her this opportunity and look forward to our youngest joining the MLE family next year."

"A warm, friendly, nurturing environment - my daughter has absolutely thrived during her time at My Little Explorers Toothill. The staff have always been wonderful, the environment is simply brilliant - I could not recommend this setting more highly!"
- Natalie. T
"Our child commenced attending this nursery upon reaching the age of three. This decision proved to be highly advantageous. He consistently returns home in a state of contentment and exhaustion. We have observed a remarkable transformation in his conduct, with all aspects improving at My Little Explorers. Our child has experienced comprehensive skill development, resulting in enhanced self-assurance in both individual and social settings. The nursery team consistently demonstrates a welcoming attitude and stands ready to provide comprehensive information and address any inquiries we may have. We wholeheartedly recommend this nursery."
