Reviews for Raising Explorers

Happy to say the pickup service has been a lifesaver to me. My children go to Sandylane Primary and they get picked up and taken to Raising Explorers and I pick them up after work. My kids have been taken care of well. They charge a very expensive rate which I wouldn't be able to afford if I didn't get government help, but I think it is well worth it as my children also get help with their school work and most importantly picked up from school and therefore the value for money is well worth it. I would recommend to anybody else who can afford it for their children to send to this after school club.

I worked in the NHS as a midwife in Birmingham and have moved back home to Bradford last year and started to work at BRI. As a single parent, I needed a childcare facility that was flexible and provided pick up and drop off service for my children. I wanted a place where my children would not sit idle or spend all their time playing games. I wanted it to be a place where they get support with their education as my son is particularly weak in maths. I always felt guilty that I am having to work long hours and struggle to balance time with my children and work. Juggling everything has been particularly hard after I moved back to Bradford as a single mother. Raising Explorers has been a dream come true. My children absolutely adore this place. The afterschool care, hot halal meals, combined with support with their madrassah and academic studies has just redefined what an afterschool club should be! I have never come across anything like this when i was living in Birmingham. The staff here really care, and they truly want to help you. The facilities are unbelievable, the place is deceptively huge. Unique facility offering huge value to the children of our community.

Alhamdulillah for the halal food options at this childcare center! As a single parent, it's a relief knowin' me child's dietary needs are met. Raising Explorers not only offers quality care but also respects our halal preferences, makin' it a top choice for us in Bradford.
