Children 1st Meir Park Nursery School

My son has attended the nursery from 6months old. He has always enjoyed nursery and will often ask if it is ‘nursery time’ at the weekend. During the past 3 years he has grown in confidence, knowledge and understanding. Each room offers a tailored EY curriculum that is exciting and inviting. My son's current room is always set up for each area of the Early Years, including a fantastic creative area (which he particularly enjoys). I also like how homework is set and books sent home, allowing me to build on what he has learnt about that week. All staff at the nursery are friendly and provide a safe and secure environment. They are always available to speak to before and after the nursery day, which as a mum, is lovely to hear about what type of day they have had. Parents' evening allows time to talk about your child. The nursery manager is really approachable and knowledgeable. The EY log app is a great way to keep a track on my son's progress and I enjoy having regular updates sent to my phone.

My child loves going here. Her key worker and all the staff are brilliant and I get regular updates on how she is doing. The online app is great as you get lots of information plus videos and pictures of how your child is progressing.

My daughter has only been at the nursery for a short while part-time, but the staff have helped her to settle in well and she seems to enjoy it. I love the activities on offer to her and how clean and comfortable the facilities are. Although slightly more expensive compared to other nurseries, this was by far the best nursery local to us and I am very pleased we were able to get a place for our daughter.

The menu offered to the children is excellent and is rotated weekly so I know that my daughter is enjoying variety each time she goes. My daughter loves the food and often has an extra portion! I only wish I could stay for lunch myself.

My son loves the nursery and has a good relationship with the staff. The online record of my son's achievement is excellent. It also allows me to see how happy he is at the nursery through the picture which accompanies the observation. The meals provided are varied and my son eats it all so it must be tasty too. At Christmas, my son came home with a canvas painting of his hand and foot, I love things like this as it’s something that can be kept for years.

My son started in September last year and instantly loved it there. He would genuinely prefer to be there than at home.

Children 1st @ Meir Park is a fantastic nursery school, their support, friendliness and dedication to looking after your kids, like they were there own, makes it the best place to be! Would definitely recommend they’re brilliant.

Brilliant day nursery, the facilities and staff are excellent. My daughter loves going. It's great that she gets to play outside most days, she loves to be outside playing and even gets to go out when it's wet because of the canopy which some nurseries don't have.

Staff are always extremely friendly. My son waves me off in the morning and runs into his room beaming with joy. It makes going to work easier knowing he is so happy and well looked after.

The staff are excellent with the children. I have a 3-year-old daughter who attends 2 days a week and she really enjoys her time at nursery. I also have a 5-year-old daughter who attends 3 earlys a week before school. The staff are excellent and you can approach them about anything and they are always helpful.

Can not recommend this nursery enough. They have been brilliant from the first visit and never failed to impress me since. The nursery has a very homely welcoming feel and all the staff are very friendly and helpful. The range of foods that are served throughout the week are very healthy. There is a large range of activities and outdoor play on offer. My son loves going and always has a smile on his face when we arrive. The staff always put the children's needs first and I feel 100% comfortable leaving my son in their care.

Since my daughter has been with Children's 1st Meir Park Nursery she has absolutely thrived! I feel totally comfortable leaving her here on a full time basis and take comfort in how much she loves all the staff.

Children 1st @ Meir Park is a very welcoming nursery. My daughter has developed and flourished during her time here, making lots of lovely little friends whom she talks about often and fondly. The learning environment offers lots of choice and is adapted to her needs. The Early Years log is also a fantastic resource where staff update it with pictures, videos and commentary about my daughter's development on a very regular basis. The staff make everyone feel very welcome and always provide detailed feedback. It was the best decision we made to apply for a place for my daughter. It has prepared her for school and learning in general.

Children's 1st @Meir Park offer outstanding care for children. My daughter is extremely happy every evening when she comes home and can't wait to talk about all of the wonderful activities that take place. Me and my partner travel out of our way to ensure that she stays at the nursery after moving away from the City. I can't thank the staff enough for everything they do for all of the children at the nursery.

We also noticed the improvement in both our daughters' interaction with other children once they started at your nursery and other various skills came on in leaps and bounds throughout their time at your nursery.

Overall it is a fantastic, fun nursery and I am glad I chose this one for my daughter.

My daughter and son have attended here over the past 5 years. Throughout the nursery, the staff are very professional and nurturing. They are very respectful and understanding of parental wishes. They have catered for my daughter's diet on an individual basis and when she had particular dietary health problems which were being investigated, they were being very supportive. They provide a very stimulating and fun environment and take into account my child's interests, areas of development and personality. The warmth and loving environment provided gave/gives my child the confidence to try new things and grow to be their own little person, which is reassuring when you go off to work. I know I don't have to worry and appreciate the positive start that they have given my children throughout their foundation years. Priceless!

I have been using Children 1st at Meir Park since before reception year at school. Excellent nursery, staff are wonderful, facilities are great. My son has made many friends, enjoys coming to Children 1st and enjoys going out to Acorns. Enjoyed the graduation ceremony that the staff organised. Staff are great with the children and good with parents too.

The food always smells beautiful.

Lovely nursery overall. Thank you girls.

My children have enjoyed their time at this nursery. Friendly staff and good communication between staff and parents. I have felt very reassured that my children are well looked after. Will definitely recommend this nursery.
