Kids 1st Gosforth Reviews (86)
Over all time Kids 1st Gosforth has 86 reviews.
The pandemic has been handled excellently, staff wear PPE when children are dropped off/collected and have an efficient system in place to try and keep queues to a minimum.
My child completes a range of activities whilst at nursery, and is regularly in the outdoor area. There is a good variety of food offered.
The staff really make this nursery what it is, including the manager, friendly kitchen staff and room attendants among others. I can't thank them enough for helping to settle my child and provide stability during such uncertain times. There are nurseries closer to home, but I wouldn't think of changing!
Fantastic overall. Very friendly and welcoming staff, fantastic with our son and trust the staff implicitly. The management are fantastic also and we are very glad we made the decision to enrol our little boy here.
Kids 1st Gosforth is the only nursery I would trust to care for my child. They are kind, caring and have created a fantastic environment. I love being a part of this nursery and I am so grateful and thankful to every staff member, all they do for us and the time they take to involve us. Thank you!
The staff are caring and have a great understanding of our son's developmental needs and day to day likes and dislikes. They communicate his daily activities and have supported us through weaning, naps and potty training by implementing home routines. We are more than happy, our son has developed lovely relationships with each of his key workers as he has moved through the rooms. It is a weight off our mind knowing he enjoys every day there.
Kids 1st, in general, is an excellent nursery and as a parent, I am very happy with how my daughter is enjoying her experience. The staff are warm and welcoming both am and pm. They are friendly and provide a full detailed summary of how my little girls day has been, which is provided with written detail in her diary. The quality of food and activities is also another 2 areas I'm very impressed with. My daughter is very happy and comfortable with the staff and the environment.
Absolutely amazing nursery, could not fault it. I would recommend highly to anyone. The staff are so caring and friendly and put so much effort into everything they do. My daughter speaks very fondly of all the staff and how much fun she has here. Outstanding nursery in every way.
He enjoys the food and an alternative is always offered if he's having a bit of an off day. I can go to work knowing he's in safe hands and is having fun with his friends!
She is especially close to her two keyworkers and has made many friends. The nursery is outstanding in all areas but particularly the friendliness and professionalism of the staff.
I always feel at ease ringing to check how he is. I always feel well informed at the end of the day on how he has been, what he has been up to and how he has slept/eaten.
It's very comforting to hear he has been doing things he usually does with us (such as clapping, high 5, smiling, saying hiya, and grabbing his favourite food).
Since joining the nursery in January 2016, my daughter has been really happy and settled with the environment and staff. My daughter has shown a lot of care and affection by her Keyworkers and has blossomed in this environment.
I feel very happy that my kids are at Kids 1st Gosforth. The kids are so settled here and the staff adore the kids.
Excellent learning environment. Very supportive and professional staff. Great understanding of my daughter on a personal level - cannot fault.
Kids 1st Gosforth is amazing. It has exceeded all my expectations and I could not recommend it enough. My son has made some lovely friends and I am so happy with his progress.
The nursery is beautifully maintained and the leadership and management are fantastic. Throughout the nursery, there are a range of vibrant activities and toys that engage children and help them develop key skills.
Excellent nursery environment. Good security. Carer to child ratio, excellent. The environment enhances child learning. All round good atmosphere.
My son has thrived at this nursery and my daughter is also enjoying the same experience.
Since our son started nursery we've been really impressed with his development and the high standard of care provided by Kids 1st. Add to this the friendliness and care taken by all of the staff, we couldn't be happier.
Very pleased with the nursery staff and support for our son.
Our daughter has been attending the nursery for 6 months and we have been very happy with the nursery and the staff. They made her feel very welcome and helped her through a few tricky weeks to a place now where she's desperate to get out the house in the morning to go to nursery. All the staff are very friendly from the management and nursery nurses to the kitchen staff and the cleaners. I highly recommend the nursery.
We have used this nursery for both of our children, since 2011. We have always been very impressed by the extremely high standard of care. Our children have both always enjoyed attending nursery, have been very fond of the staff and enjoyed the range of activities on offer. There is a lovely, friendly atmosphere in the nursery, it is clear that the staff really care about the children - many of them still ask after our son who left over 2 years ago. Can't recommend it highly enough.

Meet the Team (1)
Hello, I am responsible for looking after the learning, development and welfare needs of all the children at Kids 1st Gosforth. I will help your child settle into the nursery and ensure that they thrive in a loving, secure environment.
I have worked at Kids 1st Gosforth since March 2012, as a nursery nurse, I was quickly promoted to EYP graduate and then Deputy Manager. Where I was later promoted to Centre Director. I have many years of experience in a leadership role and have my foundation degree in Education and Childhood Studies.
I am a keen hiker and at the moment I am trying to complete all the Wainwrights before I move on the Monroe's in Scotland. My other passion is musical theatre and I have two grown-up children and a small dog called Maggie.
