children to this nursery. I leave always satisfied and without worry, as I know my children will be well taken care of while they're with the staff at the nursery. I'm thankful that I chose this nursery for my children.

hard work!

that some of the original staff are still there now with my youngest 8 years later! The staff are all very friendly and well loved by the children. There are routines in place and the children seem to thrive because of this. It's a big thumbs up from me.

staff there are absolutely incredible. It took her a little while to settle in when she first started going but once she was settled she really looked forward to going every day and I never even got a goodbye when she walked in the door every morning. This is all down to the staff and the care that they gave her every day. I cannot praise the staff enough there and thank them so much for turning my daughter into a confident little girl for when she started school.

children on an individual level, and it's lovely to hear what he has been up to during the day (and reassuring to know that they pick up on the same learnings, behaviours and quirks that we do at home!) Our whole experience with First Steps has been during the pandemic and they have handled it incredibly well, communicating with us throughout and keeping us updated. I still feel like we've managed to get to know the staff despite all of the restrictions. We would happily recommend First Steps to anyone looking for a reassuringly caring nursery setting for their child. Staff go above and beyond to support us as working parents and their flexibility is so appreciated.

well as providing them with lots of fun! Now my little one has moved up to the toddler room and is again having the best time. The outdoor space they have to explore is fab and she comes home every day with more and more new words and experiences!

the day. Communication with the staff is great and the children engage in so many wonderful activities. It really is a lovely, family focussed nursery. The staff are an absolute credit to the nursery. I’ve already recommended this nursery to a few people. Thank you for your hard work.

was great in guaranteeing the safety and wellbeing of our children.
I often recommend First Steps Nursery to family and friends for its great quality in delivering childcare in a beautiful environment.

fantastic - so welcoming, knowledgeable and are going above and beyond in these strange times. Our daughter has grown up and learnt so much since she’s been there. I feel completely confident that she is in the most capable hands and that she will have the best time engaging in so many different activities. Thank you for making my daughter (and me) so happy. I would highly recommend First Steps to any parents!

nurturing of all the children. They are responsive to requests we have made re changes to routine and even offered us advice when we have asked for it. They have taken the Covid adaptations seriously and it has continued to feel like a safe and friendly environment.
I would recommend them to anyone and am full of appreciation for their hard work.

this one to be a cut above the rest. It's welcoming, homely and everything I'd want for my son growing up. The range of activities they do with the children inside and outside keeps little ones occupied for hours. Their daily sheets help us see what they have been up to, eaten and slept which is very helpful. During the current climate, the girls are still so upbeat and happy and my child loves it there. We have recently moved out of the area but still choose to drive the extra 30-mile round trip to take him every day before work as I couldn't imagine him anywhere else. So, a massive thank you to you all for helping Baby learn and grow, you're doing an amazing job keep up the good work.

started at 6-months-old and has just left ready to start primary school. We will miss not dropping off the children and wish the nursery every success in the future.

in the local countryside. It’s all about personal relationships at First Steps and every day for 3 years we got meaningful firsthand feedback from staff on how our son had spent his day and we always knew that he was loved whilst there.

I would recommend this nursery highly.

was where she would come. The staff are lovely and welcoming, the children are happy, the food variations are great, the setting at the end of the lane is fantastic. I particularly love when they get them all wrapped up for a walk in the fresh air down the lane. She loves to tell me about the animals they have seen that day. I was worried with her being so young that she may not get cuddles (I had heard some nurseries don’t allow this) but I was very wrong, there’s plenty to go around. The day sheet you receive daily telling me what she's been up to is great also. A fab nursery where the staff enjoy being there and don't see it as a means to pay the bills, they genuinely care about the children.

there were any worries we always had full support from the staff.
