Welcome to Little Explorers Cornwall LTD – where curiosity leads the way and every day is an opportunity to learn, grow, and play. With nurturing settings in both Grampound Road and Newquay, we offer safe, welcoming environments for children aged 0–5. Designed to feel warm and familiar, our spaces help little ones feel secure and confident as they begin their early learning journey.
Our Ethos and Approach
We believe the foundation for lifelong learning is built in childhood. That’s why our ethos is centred around embedding learning in positive, memorable experiences—those little moments that spark a lasting passion for discovery. We encourage children to explore the world around them through play, nature, creativity, and imagination.
At the heart of everything we do is the belief that every child is unique. We nurture confidence and self-worth by celebrating each child’s efforts, encouraging independence, and creating a space where they feel heard, valued, and supported.
Spaces That Inspire Growth
From calming baby rooms to light-filled preschool spaces, every part of our settings is thoughtfully designed to meet children’s developmental needs. Whether it’s sensory play, outdoor adventures, or quiet moments of reflection, we create an environment where learning feels natural and joyful.

Rooted in the Community
We’re proud to be part of the local community here in Cornwall, working closely with families to provide consistent, high-quality early years care. Whether children are exploring the woodland area in Newquay or enjoying cosy storytime in Grampound Road, they’re part of something special at Little Explorers—a place where little moments lead to big learning.
Real Stories, Real Success

This nursery has recently undergone major renovations and provides a great service for babies through to pre-school. The children have a wide variety of play areas, although the 'mud kitchen' appears to be a favourite. Well worth a view if you need child care for your child .

Our daughter joined Little Explorers in January and settled in quickly. Her confidence has come on leaps and bounds, as well as her language skills and singing! We've often had trouble getting her to eat real food at home and that's another thing Litle Explorers have worked with us on, she is now happier trying new food and sitting down to eat. Highly recommend!

Happy to recommend Little Explorers. My daughter has only been there a few months, but has settled in really quickly and is extremely happy to be there. All the staff are really friendly and welcoming and whilst I had the usual parental anxiety at leaving my child initially, I need not have worried.

I am over the moon after hearing how my daughter Lilly has settled in so well after a few weeks at Little Explorers. She always looks forward to going in & I have no worries at all about leaving her, especially when the staff are all so lovely & welcoming!

My little girl has been here for almost 2 years and loves going. It's a fantastic nursery, amazing staff and a great environment for children to learn, play, develop and grow, I would highly recommend this nursery. A really welcoming environment with a wonderful outside area for the children.
