Curious Explorers is a registered Ofsted nursery setting based in Bromstone school on the outskirts of Broadstairs.

At Curious Explorers, we know that every child is unique. Our aim is to provide a happy, caring and stimulating environment where children feel secure, valued and excited to learn.

Our home-from-home approach means children can settle in at their own pace, build strong relationships with our team and develop the confidence to explore the world around them.

Welcome to Curious Explorers

Hello, I’m Lucy, the owner of Curious Explorers, and I would like to personally welcome you to our preschool.

Curious Explorers has been a very special part of my life for many years. I first joined the preschool in 2000 when I began my Early Years training and, in 2005, I was fortunate enough to take over the ownership. Since then, I have watched many children grow, learn and flourish, and have had the privilege of welcoming lots of families through our doors.

I have always wanted Curious Explorers to feel like a home from home – somewhere children feel safe, happy, loved and comfortable being themselves. We are a close and caring team, and we take the time to get to know every child and their family individually.

We believe childhood should be filled with fun, friendship, curiosity and plenty of opportunities to explore. Our children are encouraged to learn through play, develop their confidence and independence, and most importantly, enjoy their time with us.

Choosing a preschool is a big decision, and we want parents to feel just as welcome and comfortable as their children. Our door is always open, and we are proud of the warm little community we have created together.

We look forward to welcoming you and your little explorer to the Curious Explorers family.

Lucy

The Best Pre-school

Jayden wasn't there for very long, but he loved going and enjoyed every minute. The aunties are all lovely and really took the time to make him feel welcome. Their love for the job just shines out of them all. They worked with Jayden and helped him through his difficulties. I have noticed a difference in him.#

I can't thank you all enough and I honestly couldn't wish or dream for a better group of ladies to look after my son. I didn't worry about him once while he was there. We will both miss coming and seeing you all.

A Brilliant Pre-School

A brilliant preschool. My daughter enjoyed every day that she went there.

She had a great bond with all of the aunties and made lots of friends. They do so much with the children and my daughter learned so much while being there for 1 1/2 years.

So sad that she's had to leave. 100% recommend.

Thank You So Much For All You Have Done

Thank you so much for all you have done for Ada. She is going to miss your fun, kind and nurturing pre-school so much! As will us as a family.

Hopefully we cross paths again soon but for now it's goodbye.
