Children 1st Meir Park Nursery School

My son has been attending Meir Park Nursery since he was 12 months old and all the staff that I've had interactions with and all of his key workers/apprentice girls have been fab. When he first started the nursery he was having some trouble with his sleep and they were understanding, supportive, and reassuring and did everything they could to help which made the transition so much easier for us as a family. My only improvement would be to keep parents up to date daily via an app with more pictures/observations of the little ones. I do ring and check in every day in the afternoon to see how he has done with his sleep and his lunch, and it would be a lot easier if I could see it all updated on an app. I know he does some great activities during his time there and I'd love to see more photographs of him with his friends and partaking in the fun activities more.

My son has just finished Children 1st @ Meir Park and I couldn't have asked for a better experience for him! He's attended since he was 10 months old and is now 3 and a half and the entire team have set him up brilliantly to continue his journey in education. They are all so kind and caring, plan lovely activities and give individuals the room to grow. Going to miss the nursery a lot!

My son has been attending this wonderful nursery since August 2022. All staff are warm, welcoming professional and friendly. All rooms are clean, bright and full of activities for the children to learn and have fun. We receive a daily diary, which I love to read and the app is updated with photos and milestone achievements. Communication on events, funding etc is great. My son has developed since attending and he has a great relationship with his key workers. In the morning there is a breakfast basket for 'parents on the go' to use and at home time the children can collect a healthy snack, little touches like this show the nursery goes the extra mile. The food menu is amazing and my son loves to try all of the different meals on offer. Thank you Children's 1st Meir Park.

So glad we found Children 1st nearly 2 years ago now. Our son currently attends and our daughter will be starting in a few months. All staff are kind and caring ensuring children are safe while learning new things. The rooms are clean and organised with different outdoor spaces accessible and appropriate for the respective age groups and the kitchen always has wonderful smells coming from it. Daily diary and detailed handovers from staff alongside photos and videos of learning objectives lead to a good reflection of your child's activities of the day with plenty of artwork to put on the fridge! Thank you for keeping the toddler busy, well-fed, and happy!

My son has been attending since November 2023 and has settled in really well. From our very first visit, we felt comfortable and were immediately sure that this was the right nursery for us. We didn't even visit any others! The staff are friendly and welcoming and I always feel like they know us personally. The activities are great and we can see how much our little boy has developed already. I love to see what he's been doing each day and what delicious meals he's had. We've never had any problems and I feel confident that he's well cared for and safe. Fantastic nursery, would recommend to anyone.

The menu for the children is very varied and we’re very jealous when we see what they’ve eaten some days! I dread the day we have to leave to go to school! An amazing nursery!

Absolutely amazing nursery, from the moment I viewed the nursery I knew it was the right choice for my son. Since attending his development and confidence have grown and the attention to detail and activities they conduct are just amazing. The staff always go above and beyond, and you can see how much the children bond with the staff.

My son goes to the nursery and I cannot express how lovely it is. He has come on leaps and bounds since starting, the nursery itself is impeccable. It is clean, the children’s care itself is amazing, they are very well looked after, the meals they have, the learning, the observations you can see and also what they have been up to in their diaries, everything about it is outstanding. The staff are lovely, also always there to help you and greet you always smiling and happy, I couldn’t wish for a better nursery for my son to go to!

My son has attended since September 2023. It's always hard to leave your children with other people but as he now walks in without crying it's much easier! Although he only attends two days a week, his sleep, eating habits and interaction with other children have all improved. The nursery is always clean and facilities look good. My boy particularly loves grabbing the raisins as a snack on his way out, it's a great car snack on the way home so I think this is a lovely idea!

I couldn't fault them! Thank you so much.

My son has been at the nursery for almost 2 years. The staff from the kitchen staff, the receptionists, the nursery teachers even the maintenance man. The nursery is full of such lovely and welcoming people. My son has come on leaps and bounds since attending. They put so much time and effort into the topics they teach the children. They’re so trustworthy, would recommend them to anyone!

Our child has attended the nursery for around 3 years with it being close to home. We are very lucky to have such a great nursery on our doorstep. We were worried at first that our child wouldn’t integrate well etc. All the usual concerns a parent has when their child joins a nursery however it has been a great process so far. The staff have always been amazing and always communicate with us very well; they have also always been very flexible if we needed an earlier start or something like that. As a result of how good the nursery has been, we decided against moving our child from the nursery to preschool as we would’ve had to move him again due to the school we want our child to go to not having preschool. Overall we are very happy.

They are always polite, friendly and professional. I am kept up to date with my little boy's day and his development. He is thriving and loves going to nursery.

Wouldn't send my daughter to anywhere else. She loves nursery, the staff are so lovely and attentive. Facilities are excellent, clean and the activities are varied and keep her stimulated. It's lovely to see how far she's progressing and that's a testament to the nursery and their hard work!

My child has been attending children 1st @ Meir Park for over a year. The nursery is amazing all the staff are so friendly, welcoming and enthusiastic. I am always greeted with a smile and when I collect my daughter am told all about her day. I have never had any issues at all, communication is good and I can relax knowing she is being well cared for. The facilities at the nursery are fantastic, my daughter has thrived since attending!

The staff are all wonderful at what they do, the relationship with the children is genuine and my daughter comes home bursting with lovely things to tell me from her day. There are always fun events throughout the year, seasonal activities and most recently the nativity play which just showed everybody’s hard work and dedication to the children. I feel my child has grown so much in confidence during her time here and is always excited to return the following week. There are always new things to learn and the communication between the nursery and parents is also great. I would recommend to anybody and everybody. Leaving your child in the care of others is hard, but I can honestly say I’ve never had to worry when she’s here. Thank you to everyone at Meir Park, I’ll be sad when we have to leave for school!

My daughter loves attending here, she asks to go to nursery on her 'non-nursery days', the staff are excellent and the rooms are brilliant for the children. Everything from the food to the staff is 5 stars. I love how as parents we are kept up to date with developments. Highly recommend this nursery setting.

My son's been coming here since early summer and has absolutely thrived since joining! He’s quite a shy little one at first and all the staff took great care and patience in helping him settle in. He always comes out with the biggest smile on his face, telling me he's had a great day. He has developed a close relationship with a few members of staff and is always talking about them at home. The food always sounds delicious and my son says everything is yummy! There is a wide variety of activities done each day and it's nice to see what he has been up to with what he brings home. His confidence has come on loads and he is learning new things every day. Would recommend the nursery to anyone, you're always made to feel welcome and nothing is too much trouble. They are super flexible and always on hand to help! 5* all round.

Thank you so much for giving my child a great experience.

We feel lucky to have got him in there.
