Curious Explorers Day Nursery Fleet is located in the heart of Fleet, very close to the high street.
The nursery cares for children from 3 months old up to 5 years old.
It is a lovely setting with light rooms that all has access to our large garden where children can play and grow their own fruit and vegetables.
All of the children have the chance to move around the nursery's five rooms to learn new things in a safe and fun way.
Staff ensure children's social, personal and communication skills are developed via the nursery's many fun activities and child-led play opportunities.
The nursery has highly qualified, caring staff, looking after children between the ages of birth and five years of age.
All children are able to develop their full potential at their own pace.
Children can eat healthy, well-balanced and delicious food prepared at the nursery.
An online learning journal tracks each child’s progress and can be accessed by parents and carers.
An online care journal keeps you updated about your child's care through out the day.

- Description
We observe children very closely on a daily basis.
If there are symptoms or signs that causes concern we will address it firstly with the parent/s.
We will then work alongside the parents to see if we can manage the concern
Once we have gathered enough information we will ask for support from outside agencies and the local authority.
If a parent thinks their child may have special educational needs they should talk to the manager or key carer who will then organise a meeting with the SENCO who will follow our procedure as stated above.
