Early Years Specialist Apprenticeship

At Creative Explorers we aim to encourage and support children to use their creative thoughts and put them into practice through everyday play experiences. We want our children to explore and discuss ideas and feelings with us in an environment that is safe and loving. The nursery is spread across 2 sites the baby & toddlers and a seperate preschool for over 3’s, both equidistant from Hornsey overground station and within a 5 minute walking distance from one another. Both are bright, promote free flowing play and have specialist learning areas run by qualified and experienced staff. We also provide fresh daily home cooked meals & snacks that cater for every child’s dietary requirements. We follow the NHS guidelines on nutrition & are proud to be working on the “Healthy Early Years London – First Steps” award by the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan for our outstanding menu and contribution to raising healthy children. We comply with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) whilst recognising that all children are individuals and have ever changing and emerging needs and interests.
