We've had such a positive experience with this nursery, and I honestly can't thank them enough for the support they've given both me and my son.
From the very beginning, the staff have been incredibly welcoming, kind, and approachable. It's always felt like a safe and happy place for my son, which
made a huge difference to me as a parent. Communication has been excellent throughout it's always been easy to get in touch, and any concerns I've had have been listened to and acted on straight away, which really shows how much they care.
The progress my son has made since attending has been amazing. His learning and understanding have come on so much, and I truly feel that he is now confident and fully ready to start school. The support and encouragement from the team have played a huge part in that.

My son attends Children's 1st in Birstall, and I honestly couldn't be happier with the experience we've had. From the very beginning, the staff have been incredibly welcoming, supportive, and attentive, which made settling in so much easier for both of us.
A special mention has to go to Esha and Sara,
who have been absolutely wonderful with my son. They are caring, patient, and genuinely invested in his development. It's clear they take the time to get to know each child individually, and that really shows in how comfortable and happy he is there.
I also really appreciate how consistently they keep me updated through the app. It's reassuring to see what he's been up to during the day, from activities to meals and general progress. That level of communication makes a huge difference as a parent.
The nursery itself is lovely-clean, well-organised, and full of engaging resources for the children. The facilities are excellent and clearly designed to support learning through play in a safe

Today's visit to your open day nursery in Sutton in Ashfield was wonderful.
The staff were very welcoming and informative.
The lucky children who attend have a wide range of activities etc to keep them occupied and happy in such spotless, pleasant and caring surroundings.
It felt like home from

I can see why our grandchild loves coming to nursery.
A huge thank you and well done to you all.

I'm very happy that my daughter is attending the Lindens Nursery School.
Teachers and Management are very well spoken, carrying and always approachable.
Me or my husband always gets a summary of the day when we pick our girl up.
During the week we get photos to see what is she doing.
Whenever I
wanted to double check how she is doing or just ask a question I have never felt unheard.
Today( at the opening day) I was able to meet future teachers and explore the rooms and the garden( which are beautiful).
There are so many activities happening daily in the nursery, and we can't recommend it enought.
Our daughter loves it. And so do we.

My daughter started in September 2025 in one of the toddler rooms and she absolutely loves it. Settled so well and she can be quite anxious/quiet so I was really nervous to start off with but she loves every single staff member that works with her not just her key worker and they are all so kind and
caring. Everyone is so accommodating, understanding and supportive. I couldn't be more grateful to have found such a wonderful nursery. Will always recommend to others and have any future children attend here.

We've had a really positive experience with this nursery. The staff are incredibly caring and attentive, which has made a huge difference for our child. Since starting here, he has come on so much in his development, and it's been wonderful to see his confidence grow.
One of the biggest signs of how
happy he is there is that he's always excited to go in. It gives us real peace of mind knowing he's in such a supportive and nurturing environment. We're very grateful for all the hard work the team puts in.

We are extremely grateful for the outstanding care and support our child has received. The team has been incredibly patient, understanding, and attentive, especially in helping her with potty training alongside her neurodivergent needs. They have taken a truly personalised approach, adapting strategies
to suit her pace and ensuring she feels comfortable, safe, and encouraged at every step. The consistency they've helped establish between nursery and home has made a huge difference in her progress.
What stands out most is their genuine compassion and commitment. The staff go above and beyond to create an inclusive, nurturing environment where every child is supported to thrive. Their communication with us as parents has also been excellent - always keeping us informed and involved. We've seen a significant boost in her confidence and independence, and that is largely thanks to the dedication of the team. We couldn't recommend them highly enough.

We have always felt welcome in the nursery ever since we came for a visit for our little girl. Everyone at Children's 1st St Peter and St Paul's is professional, polite and has a passion for their job. If we could choose again to send our little girl to a nursery we would absolutely choose St Peter
and St Paul's again.
She comes home safe and sound, well-fed and cared for every single time. When our friends start having children we will be recommending them to come to St Peter and St Paul's.

Choosing a nursery is such a massive decision, but Blossom Tree has been the absolute best choice for our family. From the very first day, the staff made us feel completely at ease. The environment is so nurturing and vibrant my child comes home everyday show casing new skills and communication gestures.
What I love most is the genuine care the practitioners show. They really take the time to understand my child's unique personality and interests. It feels like a little community rather than just a nursery. I can go to work with total peace of mind knowing they are safe, happy, and thriving!

We have been part of Farley Sparsholt Outdoor Nursery School since 2015, and over the past 11 years all three of my children have attended this incredible setting.
I can honestly say it has been one of the best decisions we've made for our children. The outdoor, nature-based environment is something
truly special - it builds confidence, independence, and a genuine love for learning in a way you just don't see everywhere.
The staff have always been warm, nurturing, and incredibly attentive. They take the time to really understand each child as an individual, and the care and passion they show shines through in everything they do.
What's been equally lovely to see over the years is how much the nursery has grown and developed, while still keeping that same family feel and high standards it's always been known for. It's clear a lot of thought and dedication has gone into its journey, and it continues to go from strength to strength.

I can honestly say, hand on heart, that this is one of the best nurseries around! My little boy has been attending since he was 9 months old, and the experience has been phenomenal. All of the staff in every room are attentive, amazing, and full of so much joy. You can really tell they truly love what
they do.
My son absolutely loves going; he has developed such an amazing connection with everyone. They greet him readily at the door and adapt to any needs I put forward without question. Even on days when he wants me to walk him all the way up to his room, they are always accommodating and say yes.
I really cannot thank them enough. He has only just turned 2, but I am already dreading his last day here! Every member of the team goes above and beyond-I cannot emphasize this enough. From the practitioners to the office and catering staff, everyone is incredible. I whole-heartedly recommend this nursery 1000x over and always will

We joined Children 1st in Newark Town back in January 2023 with our eldest, and since then all three of our children have attended. We can't speak highly enough of Children 1st, every member of the team goes above and beyond, and our children have truly thrived in their care. What has stood out most
is how the nursery has continued to improve year after year. The staff, the activities, the communication, and the overall environment have all grown stronger. It's been reassuring to see each of our children supported (each with a different need), encouraged, and genuinely cared for. We feel confident every day that they're in a setting that keeps getting better and better. Thanks Children 1st
