Little Explorers's Reviews

Best Child care ever!

Couldn't be happier, or recommend Little Explorers enough!

Our son has just started school but has been with Little Explorers for years. He has grown so much in terms of confidence, social skills, and learning. Thushani and the other "Aunties" as how my son calls them are so nurturing, engaging, and caring. I couldn't have been more happy with leaving my precious baby with them every day, knowing that he was in great hands.

He has learned so much from Little Explorers, and made so many good friends who will now stick together in their new school, which is such a big win!

Our son used to attend another nursery before, but he began to refuse to go there and cry when we would drop him off, however since going to Little Explorers, he didn't want to come home when we went to pick him up!

Auntie Thushani, Uncle Gayan, Aunti Nachiko, and the rest of the aunties are the best!

The food my son was eating every day was also amazing! so varied and full of nutrition.

Communication was really good too, and being able to see photos and info on what my son was doing every day was very reassuring.

I wish I went to such a great family when I was little

Nurturing and loving

Little explorers have created a loving and unique environment for both my children to thrive in. Thushani and her staff continuously go above and beyond when it comes to the children's needs and development with their love and care which is invaluable. They are extremely accommodating which is reassuring as I work full-time. They also provide daily updates on the wonderful activities they have put together for the children including meals and nap times which is very helpful. The memories created over the last few years have been priceless. They have become family to us and can't thank them enough for everything they have done and continue to do for my girls.

Making everyday a fun and safe environment!

I cannot express how grateful I am with the nursery setting and incredibly kind Thushani who took care of my child since he was 2 years old.
From the moment we walked through the doors, it was clear that this was a place filled with warmth, care, and a genuine dedication to a childs well-being.
Thushani’s nursery is a true haven for young minds and a very safe environment that encourages learning through play.
Thushani and her team are patient, nurturing, and incredibly attentive to each child's unique needs.
My son adores Thushani, and I have seen positive growth in him since starting at this nursery. I always felt informed and involved in my child's progress.
I am so thankful to have found such a wonderful place for my child to thrive.

In the words of Tina- "Simply the best!"

Thushani and her husband welcomed us into their childcare setting back in late 2019 when I was looking around the local area. I knew right there and then that this nursery would be the one for us!
My daughter was there from 18 months to just recently aged 4 where she graduated from Little Explorers. I can't express my thanks and gratitude enough for these people. Although when I met them, they had just started out, they were more professional, passionate and hard working than other places I have known that have been going for years.
Thushani has such a natural and loving way with kids which can only come from the heart and from being a mother herself. Her team are also fantastic and I loved seeing the daily/weekly updates and observations of my daughters learning journal.
Thushani is so helpful and accomodating and has gone above and beyond to help me and my partner at short notice over the years despite her business increasing and many more children attending. I have laughed, cried and smiled looking back at all of my daughters photos and her learning record. You can't always get the perfect childcare for children but Little Explorers is pretty much there.
We will truly truly miss this place and would say to any parent enquiring- this is the best childminder/nursery in Harrow!!
Thank you so much to Thushani for everything xx Layla and family

Never responded

Met Thushani and discuss set up of planned childcare. She said she will send an invoice so I have an idea of the fees however she never did. I messaged her but still no response. It’s a shame bc my son seems to like her place.

Response by Little Explorers on 13/02/2023:

Thank you very much Pia for your review on Friday the 10th February. We replied immediately via Whatsapp to you to try and resolve the matter. Our understanding was that the fees were sent to you on the 10th December and we also did not receive any communication from you either as indicated in your response. It seems that communications from us to you and you to us were not received after the 10th December. Any issues would definitely have been sorted much earlier but unfortunately, it took you two months to let us know from the 10th December and we clearly understand that you might have been very busy to correspond with us earlier. I am glad that your son enjoyed his time here when you came to visit us on the 9th December and it is a shame that we were unable to meet the times that you required.
May we take this opportunity of wishing you and your son all the best.
Thushani on behalf of Little Explorers.

Absolutely Perfect

I highly recommend Little Explorers, Thushani helped us out at short notice and worked wonders with both of my children - my son learnt how to spell his name within a few short weeks and my daughter who can be really quite nervous around new people warmed to Thushani immediately. They were cooked fabulous meals and always came home telling me what a lovely day they had, the extra mile was always reached... My son even had his own birthday party and cake arranged for him, so much thought and care went into their time there and I was always kept updated (she takes absolutely lovely photos!) I will always be grateful to Thushani for their time at Little Explorers, my kids miss her lots and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone.

Excellent childminder

We needed a childminder urgently for a few weeks to take care of my little one who is exactly 1 year old. Thushani very kindly offered to help. It was incredible how quickly my daughter settled in with her. My daughter had never been outside our home much given that she was born during the pandemic and with all the lockdowns there was never much an opportunity for her to socialise.
Thushani took very good care of my daughter and went to great lengths to ensure she ate well and was properly engaged all day. She understood my anxiety with leaving my daughter for the first time and sent us pictures and videos of our little one regularly to reassure us that she was completely alright.
On the last day, my daughter even leapt to Thushani and that showed how fond she had gotten of her. This is truly the best care that she could've received. Thank you for helping us and little S out xx

Little explorers

Our daughter has been with Little Explorers for just over a year and we couldn’t be happier. They always went above and beyond to support us as and when needed. We felt it was a home away from home for our daughter and she was very happy there. Little explorers offer a very caring, nurturing, reliable and professional environment which we would highly recommend.

Reliable childcare

My boys attended Little explorers which is a home based setting; they immediatly felt comfortable with Thushani and they where in a relaxed enviroment. They had plenty of activites to do, Thushani kept me updated and was very proffesional in her approach. I highly reccomend Little explores.
