Little Explorers Nursery, Grantham
The most valuable resource we can give children is our time and attention
At Little Explorers, we believe that every child is unique, and we encourage each child to find their talents through play and exploration. We offer a unique and superb outdoor learning and adventure space for children to explore and enjoy the wonders of water, sand and mud.
We are particularly proud of our sensory area, which is used for 1:1 focused learning, and is a relaxing space for those who may need some sensory reprieve from their main room or if a child would just like some quiet time. We also run an after-school club for up to year 6 children (11 years).
Our Vision
To change Children’s Lives for the better. Little Explorers provide a stimulating environment full of awe, wonder and curiosity where children are able to learn through play.
About Us
Our nursery is enriched with awe, wonder and curiosity. We are a play-based setting and everything we do as Educators is through child-led play. We plan in the moment based on children’s interests and as Educators provide resources to support and enhance their learning.
Our aim is to provide a safe, secure and happy environment where children can grow and flourish. You can view a virtual tour of our nursery here.

In Their Own Words
“We have loved having our daughter at Little Explorers! The management & general staff are friendly, approachable, understanding, supportive and always listen to concerns or queries no matter how small they may be, it's never too much trouble.
She has gained a lot in her time there so far and also been supported with personal changes outside the setting at home that could be more unsettling than it is to her without staffs understanding and patience when she’s in their care. We have seen massive leaps, especially in her confidence and social skills, she now runs in and doesn't look back!
From what we have seen they give 110% to all the children to bring out the best in them and most importantly, they have fun!
Never had any issues! I feel comfortable in knowing she is happy, safe and enjoying herself whilst developing skills ready for school next year without it being a strict "structure" type Pre-school. Thank you so much!”

“Wonderful nursery - staff have been very supportive in helping our son, not just with his day to day needs but with his speech and development as well. He wouldn’t be where he is now without all of your support. He loves coming in to hear what activities he is doing on that day and talks about them when he comes home as well. Staff are always approachable with any queries we have and have all taken the time to get to know him well and help him with his routines.
Thank you to you all.”
