Review of Kids 1st Quorum from Nicola C (Mother of Child) published on 15 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We are so pleased with our experience with Kidz 1st Quorum. Since our daughter started in December 2024 she has come on so much and has gained a lot more confidence and made some lovely friends. The staff are welcoming and friendly and we feel reassured that she is in safe hands for the day. There is a great range of activities each day which are age appropriate and help their development. She always comes home and tells us about what's she's been doing and particularly loves the painting, messy play and playing in the home corner. We also love that the children get to spend a lot of time outdoors in the garden. As well as getting updates on the app, the staff always provide a helpful update at the end of the day on what she's been up to as well.

Since my daughter joined last September we've had a really positive experience. All of the staff are great and any issues we've had our dealt with so quickly. It feels like there's always fun activities to engage the kids and the staff really care. It's lovely seeing how much our daughter has progressed while attending.

Review of Kids 1st Quorum from Keira H (Mother of Child) published on 14 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Brilliant nursery. The team are warm, patient and genuinely care about the children. The centre director is fantastic - nothing is ever a problem for her, no matter how silly the question, and the same goes for every member of staff in the rooms. They've supported our toddler through big milestones, including early potty training (and unfortunately biting!!) with so much consistency and encouragement. Communication is excellent, behaviour is handled calmly, and the whole place has a really supportive feel. Couldn't ask for a better environment.

Forever a great experience at pick ups, always a personal touch to show me they really care & have bonded with my child/ren.
I love hearing my childs stories of what they have done with their day and who they have spent it with, including their friends and staff with whom they have such a special bond with!

Review of Kids 1st Hexham from Stephanie S (Mother of Child) published on 14 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I couldn't be happier with this nursery. After taking my daughter out of a previous setting where she struggled to settle, I was naturally quite anxious, but the staff here have been incredible from the very beginning.

She settled in so quickly and now genuinely loves going, which says everything. The team reassured me so much during those early days and made the whole transition feel easy and supported.

The staff are so kind, patient and attentive. They've really taken the time to understand her, especially around her allergies, and have been brilliant at making sure she is included in everything.

What I really appreciate is that they still give her the same choices as the other children when it comes to food, just adapted safely for her. The food is always great, and it's such a reassurance knowing she is well looked after and not missing out.

As a parent, it gives me real peace of mind knowing she is in such a safe, caring and supportive environment.

Review of Kids 1st Wynyard from H I (Mother of Child) published on 14 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Both my children have attended kids 1st wynyard and I have never felt so at ease going back to work and leaving my children in the care of the whole team.. from management to the girls/boys in the room and the cooks they all go above and beyond for the children.. Regular updates and always on hand if I have any worries about anything. Nothing is to much for anyone. My youngest is a fussy eater and the cooks always ensure there is something that they will eat if they refuse the meals. Would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.

The settling in sessions are the nicest experience to meet the team and see the types of things your child will do.

My 10 month old son has been at Kids 1st Hexham for 3 weeks now and I already know we made the right decision in enrolling him here. All of the staff are so caring and I know he gets the best care when he's there. All of the food is freshly made and the menu choices are incredible. The app updates that we get through the day are really reassuring and make the working day easier knowing he's ok.

Overall Experience

Our little boy is in this nursery full time and he absolutely love it. The staff are lovely and friendly and we always get an in depth hand over at the end of the day. We are so impressed with the facilities of the nursery and the activities carried out. We are also blown away by the variety of food offered daily. We were a little anxious about putting him in full term due to work commitments but it's been such a great decision and he has come on leaps and bounds since joining last May. Couldn't recommend this nursery enough. Hannah and the team go above and beyond.

Review of Kids 1st Quorum from Victoria R (Mother of Child) published on 30 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our daughter has been here since she was 9 months old and she's now almost 3 and we've had nothing but amazing experiences with the nursery. It has a real family feel to it as you get to the know the staff and really can see how much they care about the kids they look after.
My daughter is so ahead of her age and i put it down to the teachings, support and guidance she has been given from the nursery and staff. They are outside as often as possible (weather permitting) and the garden and facilities are something that really stood out to us over other nurseries, the size of the rooms and play equipment also drew us in.

We are putting our new daughter in there come October and feel at a massive ease knowing how well she will be cared for, i honestly couldn't rate hannah and her team more

Overall Experience
I Highly Recommend this nursary.
Our daughter has been attending Kids 1st Quorum since she was 2 years old, and we are extremely happy with the care she receives. The staff are wonderful and have created a welcoming and comforting environment.
We would like to give a special mention to:
Sarah
Annabelle
Tia
Kayleigh (both of them!)
They are all especially great and always go the extra mile. We were particularly touched when they organised a cute nativity songs showing for the parents, which was a lovely.

We couldn't be happier with our choice and highly recommend this nursery to other parents.
