First Friends Day Nursery - Wootey
from Fiona S (Mother of Child) published on 12 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

I couldn't ask for more from this nursery! My son loves every day he attends. There are always new activities to interest him. The staff also communicate really well, my little one was unwell recently and emotional on returning to nursery, they put me at ease letting me know he had settled and was having

a good day.

Review of
First Friends Day Nursery - Denmead
from Stacey W (Mother of Child) published on 12 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My daughter has been at the Denmead setting since they opened and absolutely loves it, as do I. Staff are all friendly and really give off that family vibe, so much so that my daughter calls for some of the staff when she is upset at home. I love getting the weekly updates & pictures, and the outings

they've started doing are so sweet, something for the kids to get extra excited for. They're always doing such creative activities anyway. I'm a big fan of mixed age children in one room, I really feel like that progresses my child's development...learning from her older friends, and learning how to be careful with her younger friends.
My daughter almost runs through the doors without even saying bye to me some days because she can't wait to get in there and get involved in whatever they're doing that day.
Cannot reccomend them enough, I know my daughter is in great hands there, and the amount of fun she has makes me feel less guilty about working.

Overall Experience

My little boy has been going to First Friends at Denmead since June. He absolutely loves his 3 days a week. When we ask him are you going to nursery today he says yes and does a little happy dance - what more could you want.
He loves all the teachers and gets excited to see them & see what exciting

activities they have planned. His development has come on leaps and bounds and that's because of the time and care they put into each child. Thank you first friends

First Friends Day Nursery - New Milton
from Lucy B (Mother of Child) published on 11 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My daughter Nora recently moved to this nursery from another. We were extremely nervous about moving her to a different location but the nursery manager and staff have made the transition such a delight. She is so much happier in this new space where she gets to run around freely and be outside whenever

she wants. It's made us so happy to see her thriving and all she talks about is running around and playing with the dinosaur. She loves it here.

First Friends Day Nursery - Eastleigh
from E P (Mother of Child) published on 10 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

We'd like to say a big thank you to Claire for all the support she has given our child since becoming his key worker in September. It has been lovely to see more of his observations recently - they really give us a window into his day and help us feel connected to his progress.
We've also noticed that

he seems much more confident, both in nursery and at home, and we truly believe Claire's calm, caring approach has played a big part in that. We're so grateful for the time, patience, and encouragement she has given him.
Thank you, Claire, for all that you do.

Overall Experience

My little one has been here for a year and a bit now, and they are just thriving at First Friends Alton. And I truly put it down to the incredible members of staff here - they've gone above and beyond from the very beginning. Every single person is so attentive and personable, really paying attention

to not just the children but working with the parents too. I can't thank everyone enough, I recommend First Friends Alton to every parent looking for a place to send their little ones. Thankyou!

from Isabella M (Mother of Child) published on 10 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

I can not thank you enough to the staff of Denmead first friends for being so caring and understanding with my daughter recently my daughter has not been so much herself recently and the staff have made her feel so much more comfortable and spending time with her for example when she is sitting by

herself in book corner a member of staff will sit with her to make her still feel like she is apart of the group. Makes me as a mother feel so at ease that she isn't alone and they always keep me up to date with what's going on so grateful to the staff.

Overall Experience

First Friends Alton are an amazing team of early years specialists. They have made my son feel welcome and safe since day 1. He has been there just over a year now and he loves going in every day. The activities are inclusive, fun and educational, he loves telling us all about his day. We love all the

programmes they run especially mindfulness as this has helped our son understand his emotions really well. We are kept up to date with his progress and love the hand overs at the end of the day hearing what they have been up to! We couldn't be happier with our choice to send our son here.

First Friends Nursery School - Basingstoke
from M U (Grandmother of Child) published on 15 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

This nursery is outstanding. The care and attention each member of staff give the children is fantastic. You could not find a more safe, fun and caring nursery to leave your child. The staff form a great relationship with the children, and are very hands on. The children get plenty tof fresh air playing

outside and the security is excellent. Daily feedback is consistant and they are always keen to tell you the highlights of your childs day when you collect them.
Highly recommend.

Overall Experience

Our little one has been at First Friends for 2 weeks and I cannot believe the difference in his behaviour since moving him from another nursery. He is always super happy to go in and we cannot thank the team enough for welcoming us to this lovely place. He tells us all the time how much of a fun day

he has had. The best decision we have made for him and us. Thank you all.

from Benedicta C (Mother of Child) published on 12 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

I am genuinely happy with my child's progress so far. But I wish there would be a better way of giving information about what to expect and what is going on. I always check the the app to find out when school starts for September 2025 session and couldn't find any information. I had to call the school

and I was advised to check social media. What if I am not on social media?
I sincerely wish information is shared either in a messaging group app for parents or the app.

Overall Experience

Absolutely fantastic nursery. All the staff are so friendly and helpful. My son settled in so quickly and absolutely loves it there. He's offered 5 nutritious meals a day and staff are happy to adapt to his routine. They've been especially supportive of his naps which have changed as he gets older!

They do lots of play outside and always do fun activities! My son comes home happy every day!

Overall Experience

Even though my daughter has only been at Denmead for a month and she absolutely loves it. She runs in every day and on some days without a 'goodbye' for mummy or daddy. The care and warmth she receives have already made such a difference in her confidence. I'm so grateful to the manager and her colleagues

for creating such a nurturing and fun environment. They are all so amazing!
