Welcome to Explorers Day Care Nursery

About us

Explorers Day Care Nursery is an Ofsted-rated outstanding nursery (inspected July 2022*), owned by Jenna Whitaker. We are open from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday to Friday.

Based on a working farm, we strongly believe in the holistic benefits of the natural world, ensuring that our farm, Forest School and enabling outdoor play areas are an integral part of each day at Explorers.

Prior to becoming a nursery, our beautiful stone building was home to a dairy unit where Ray Simpson milked dairy cows and farmed the 150-acre estate for many years. In 2004 mum of five, Jenna, opened Explorers Day Care, giving the building a new lease of life and creating fantastic memories for all of our children and their families.

We would love to welcome you and your family to have a look around our beautiful, inspiring setting. Give us a call and book your visit today!
