Little Explorers - Royal George Road is a day nursery in Burgess Hill providing care for children from birth to five years old. The day nursery is open from 7.30am to 6pm, Monday to Friday, all year round, and accepts government funding for eligible children.

The inspector reported that staff are kind and caring, forming positive relationships with children in a friendly environment where they settle well. A well-thought-out curriculum is in place, and children were seen to make good use of resources. The report noted that children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are supported well and that parent partnership is strong. Parents told the inspector they appreciate the care their children receive and feel they can raise any concerns with the management team.
