Our daycare service provides a safe, nurturing environment for children aged 05, with structured activities aligned to the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum. Qualified staff ensure individualised care, fostering social, emotional, and cognitive development through play and exploration.
Preschool
Our preschool programme focuses on school readiness through age-appropriate learning activities. Using the EYFS framework, we develop literacy, numeracy, and creative skills via imaginative play, art, and technology, preparing children for seamless transitions to formal education.
Outdoor Play
Large, purpose-built outdoor areas encourage physical development and creativity. Children engage in messy play, gross motor activities, and nature-based exploration, all designed to stimulate curiosity and social interaction in all weather conditions.
Key Worker System
Each child is assigned a dedicated key worker who plans individualised learning journeys, tracks developmental milestones, and maintains open communication with parents. This approach ensures consistent support tailored to each childs unique needs.
EYFS Curriculum
We deliver the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum through play-based activities covering seven key areas, including communication, physical development, and expressive arts. Daily observations and planning ensure progress is monitored and shared with families.

Our 18 month old daughter has been going to Tipton Explorers since April 2021. We reserved her place there in February 2020 to start September but due to Covid and working from home we delayed her start date twice. They were very accommodating and totally understood, and still kept her place open for her. We were reluctant to send her with Covid, but we’re also desperate for her to get used to mixing with other children her age and encourage her social development as Covid meant she spent nearly all of her life in lockdown with no interaction with others, and decided to get her in to nursery
