Review from Kristel R (Mother of Child) published on 14 February 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son has been attending this wonderful nursery three full days a week for nearly two years and I am happy to say he is now attending pre-school here.
I have nothing more than great things to say about the nursery and each and every member of staff here. My son absolutely adores them all. The nursery has wonderful facilities such as the secret garden, sensory room, and soon the forest school which I'm excited about! Recently they launched an amazing app which updates you throughout the day on what your child is up to, it has their learning journeys on it and all other reports. This is brilliant, I love it!

The staff have been such an amazing support for us throughout his time here, they were brilliant with his potty training, learning to walk and talk, how to play with others and his whole learning journey. I am happy to say he is doing very well and that is thanks to the team here. I feel so blessed that my son attends such a wonderful place. Thank you all.

Review from N R (Father of Child) published on 13 February 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our child has been attending this nursery for over a year now. We are very pleased with the staff, their enthusiasm, genuine interest. They maintain overall accountability in the form of daily feedback and regular contact with parents. They have recently introduced a mobile app based feedback with real-time updates including foods, activity, sleep times, learning journals and summative reports. This system has been greatly impressive for working parents like us to track the developmental progress of our child. Most importantly, our child loves the place here. The children are welcomed by staff in a caring environment and parents like us leave the place dropping off our child feeling very reassured to selves. We have had no concerns about food/ nutrition. We would certainly recommend this nursery to anyone.

Review from Rebecca (Mother of Child) published on 12 February 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Leaving my 10 month old was hard but the nursery made it as smooth as it could be. I've seen such a positive leap in her development already and its only been a month. She is undertaking activities I just couldn't provide at home all linked to the developmental curriculum. With the app updates I can see how she is doing over the day - from activities, to what she's eating and how much; sleeping; drinking and even nappy changes. I'm confident she is happy in such a spacious nursery with friendly attentive staff.

Reply from Claire Jones, Nursery Manager at My First Friends Rubery

Your feedback is much appreciated, we know how difficult a time this can be. It has been our pleasure to have been able to support you and your child in their transition into nursery.

Review from Helen P (Mother of Child) published on 12 February 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has attended My First Friends for 4 months now and I cannot fault the service I have received to date. My daughter is happy to be left with the staff members every morning, I have not had a single day where I have had to leave her crying (which is one of every parent's nightmares). The staff are always very friendly and I find it very easy to talk to them about anything I feel I need to discuss. The care they have shown for my daughter, and every other child I have seen them interact with has been outstanding. They use an app to show how my daughter is getting on during the day, putting my mind at rest when I cannot be with her.

Overall Experience
My First Friends is an excellent nursery, my little girl attends now and my other child was here from the age of 1 until he started school.

The nursery offers lots of learning through play inside and out. The layout is great too, the food is excellent.

Now they have a parent app you can log on and see everything your child has done at nursery.

Staff are great, very helpful, nothing is to much trouble.

I definitely recommend this nursery.

Fantastic nursery! My son has been going since he was just under a year, the difference in him since he started is amazing, he loves going. The staff are very approachable and friendly and the nursery has loads of activities to keep them entertained. Can't recommend them highly enough.

Overall Experience

Since joining my first friends my son has improved substantially in his development. The range of daily activities means every day is different and enjoyable for him. The staff are very supportive with any concerns and work closely with parents to help children develop and learn new things. The app used by the nursery means I can check up on my son throughout my day at work to see what he has been up to. All round a fantastic nursery - would recommend it to any parents.

Review from Siobhan T (Mother of Child) published on 2 February 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My two-year-old and one-year-old started at My First Friends in September 2017. My experience has been nothing short of fantastic - my daughters love going to nursery and have made huge strides in their development. The staff are friendly, welcoming and more than willing to speak to me anytime about how they are getting on. Transition between rooms has been effortless and the girls have been given settling in time before making the jump to their next stage. Feedback is constructive, detailed and allows me to have a clear understanding of how they are getting on.

When looking for a nursery for my daughters I wanted somewhere that felt warm and comfortable and My First Friends has this. I have recommended the nursery to friends already and look forward to my girls continuing their time there.

A fantastic nursery with wonderful staff.

Overall Experience

I would definitely recommend My First Friends Nursery (Rubery). I have a 6-year-old daughter and a 4-year-old son and both have attended the nursery from the age of 2. The children have always attended nursery with great enthusiasm and thoroughly enjoy their time there. They received a great boost with early learning while developing healthy social skills in preparation for school. As a family, we have been extremely happy and very appreciative of the great service and high level of care we have received from the Nursery and its staff.
