This is the best nursery in the city. The staff are very helpful and understanding of the needs of the children. My son has improved in all areas thanks to their support and help. He is very confident and does a lot of activities. Very impressed by their work and care.

Absolutely amazing!
The staff go above and beyond to make my little girl feel comfortable. She loves going to nursery, as soon as I pull into the car park she gets so excited. Cannot recommend Child 1st Day Nursery and its amazing staff enough!

This is an amazing nursery! My child loves attending! He is developing way more than I expected because of the staff at Child 1st Day Nursery! Everyone is very attentive and understanding with the children and deals with sometimes difficult handovers very well!

Lovely welcoming staff - my daughter's development has come on leaps and bounds since starting at Child 1st Day Nursery a few months ago. She only does one day a week but we will be increasing her hours next year when eligible for funding as she has really taken to the staff there. The app is great
too with updates and pictures of how my daughter is getting on through the day which is ideal for a worrisome mum! Thank you to my daughter's key worker, she has a great bond with her - I like how loving and comforting they are with children when they get a bit upset. It's what every parent would want for their little one! Thank you, I recommend Child 1st (Stoke) to everyone.

Our son has just spent the last two years with Child First (Stoke) Day Nursery and he has absolutely loved it. He made lots of friends there and the staff were very good with him from day one. The nursery has made a lot of improvements with facilities within the last few months and is all the better
for it.
Our baby boy has developed into our little boy all ready for school now with the great help of the staff. The management have also been good with us in being flexible whenever possible around work and other commitments, if they can help you they will.
Overall, a cracking nursery which we would definitely use again.

Our little girl has been going to the nursery since she was 10 months old and is leaving this week to go to school! They have been amazing since day one. All of the staff are incredible and we couldn't have asked for a better nursery. They have helped her to develop into the lovely little girl she is
and to get her ready for 'big school'. We can thank you enough!

Best nursery I could have found for my daughter. She spent her first four years here and she has developed so well. She received the best support within all areas and I would definitely suggest this nursery to friends and family who are looking for daycare for their children! A huge thank you for making
the early years development a real joy for all of us! Five stars plus, for definite!

My daughter has attended Child 1st (Stoke) nursery for the last 3 years all the way from the baby room to the pre-school room. She has had some fantastic experiences. I have always felt that she is very loved at nursery, like it was her second home. She has been so well looked after. The meals made
on site always sound so delicious and are always very healthy. My husband works shifts and management have always been so accommodating to any changes to his shift pattern etc. They were a massive support during lockdown. We have really just had a wonderful, straightforward, problem free time with Child 1st nursery.

My child started in January 2021 and has come a long way since then. The activities that are done with the children are creative and help my child learn so much. The staff are always helping to develop my child’s skills which get updated in the app to view whilst my child is at nursery. I highly recommend
this nursery and my child loves it too!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter was very nervous and not used to many people due to lock down and doesn't take to people very quickly. The first couple of months were hard for her as she would say 'you leave me too long mummy' as she wasn't used to being left without me. This was a bit heartbreaking at first for both me
and her dad but the staff were so great and spent so much time with her and listened to everything she said and gave her so many cuddles, this made her feel important and safe. The staff asked about the things she liked so they could enjoy them with her. Also, they asked one of the other girls if they would like to hold her hand as she was new, that was something so nice that me and her still talk about it now as she says 'I have a friend mummy'. She wouldn't eat much at first due to her being fussy but as time's gone on she is enjoying so much more food. The staff are brilliant and have helped her so much, and have encouraged her with toilet training too. Thank you so much for all your hard work.

My daughter has come on leaps and bounds since attending Child’s 1st Day Nursery! She loves going. If you are slow getting out the door to take her she gets mad at me. Couldn’t be a better place for her to learn and grow.

My daughter has been at this nursery for eight months, the girls in the nursery have really helped to bring her out of her shell and teach her new things, I have seen a difference in my daughter since she started nursery and I'm so thankful to all the staff for being so friendly and helpful when it
comes to my daughter.

Not enough superlatives to describe how much we love using this nursery. They have a number of chickens of which lay eggs for people to have free of charge. The staff are all excellent, with my son coming home learning new words after every visit.
An app can be downloaded where everything is recorded
so you know exactly what your child is doing at almost any given point. Photos can also be accessed throughout the day.
Just a great service - five-star.

The nursery is amazing full stop, our daughter has been pretty much a lockdown baby but this is the one place she literally gets excited about going to each week, the staff are amazing, friendly and informative and our daughter light's up when she sees them. You're informed on everything the kids do
from start to finish and they are amazing in helping your child develop in every area, would recommend them every day of the week and twice on Sunday, amazing place.

Wonderful little nursery, all my children have gone here over the years and I wouldn’t choose anywhere else. All the staff are so lovely and friendly and have always been so good with my kids even if they have cried when I drop them off, they soon find a way to settle them and they never want to come
home. So much choice in each room for all ages and often do lovely little outings, it’s just so good to have peace of mind when leaving your babies.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.890)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.890) out of 10 for Child 1st (Stoke) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 21 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.952 for Child 1st (Stoke) is calculated as follows: ( (239 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 251 Ratings = 4.952
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.938 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Child 1st (Stoke) is based on 21 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 112 number of registered child places is 22.4. 21 Positive Reviews ÷ 22.4 = 0.938
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
