At Little Explorers, we believe children learn best when they are free to discover. Our Montessori-inspired approach, combined with regular forest school sessions, gives every child the space to grow at their own pace.
Based in the leafy heart of Clifton, Bristol, we provide exceptional care for children aged 3 months to 5 years in a warm, eco-conscious environment that feels like a second home.

"Our daughter has absolutely blossomed since starting at Little Explorers. The forest school sessions are her favourite part of the week, and she comes home full of stories about the bugs and birds she's found."
"The staff are incredible. They genuinely know and love every child. The Montessori approach has made our son so independent and confident. We couldn't be happier with our choice."
"Moving to Bristol, we were nervous about finding the right nursery. Little Explorers felt like home from the first visit. The eco-conscious values align perfectly with how we raise our children."
"Both of our children attended Little Explorers and both transitioned to primary school beautifully prepared. The key worker system meant they always had someone who truly understood them."
