Hear from our Parents

  • "Sending our two boys to mini explorers is one of the best choices we made. Their development owes so much thanks to all the girls at the nursery. Henry & Alfie have such affection for everyone there, which has made us confident as parents that Mini Explorers is the right place for them. We have a great relationship with every member of staff, and we consider ourselves very lucky to know that in such a small place, so many amazing people form part of our boys lives. Thank you all!"

  • "My daughter started nursery when she was 3 months and 1 day old. She has grown up with minis and they have become a second home for her. I have never known of such wonderful staff members who genuinely care not just for your child but about your child. They are all truly lovely. The meals are well cooked and balanced with plenty of variety. The facilities are welcoming and well equipped. This is by far the best nursery in sandy and the surrounding area"

The nursery offer so many different activities and opportunities above those you would typically expect and go above and beyond expectation continually to keep it fun for the children. Thank you to each and everyone of the team I always know Archie is in the safest most caring hands when he is with you."

Our son loves going to nursery and is flourishing - this is thanks to the love and care given by all of the staff. They plan fun and exciting topics for the children and we love receiving his masterpieces. Thank you to everyone at Mini Explorers for taking such good care of our baby boy. Thank you"
