All the staff are very supportive and friendly. Potty training hasn't been easy and the staff are very encouraging to our little boy. His confidence and speech has developed so much while being at nursery.

Excellent child care throughout the time my son has been with them. Fun activities and a really comprehensive handover report at the end of the day on collection.
Staff are friendly and very helpful.

Thank you!

A lovely nursery, always a warm welcome from the staff when you drop off/collect your child. It’s also a very clean place. Lots of activities for the children. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.

Overall Experience
Since my son started at this nursery he has massively improved in so many ways. His confidence has boosted, his learning skills have grown massively and his shy,

clingy character has almost gone. The staff are great with all the children and are very professional. I couldn’t recommend this place enough!

Review from Louise U (Mother of Child) published on 22 November 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My little lady has been attending Child 1st nursery since 2017.
I cannot recommend this nursery enough.
My daughter is always eager to go and is always in a bright happy mood when collected and chats endlessly about the friends she has there and staff.
She loves Forest School, is out in the lovely play area and garden they have regularly (weather permitting) bright, rosy and fresh.
Staff are always very informant on what they have been up to during the day and when potty training they were very "hands on".
I feel very content knowing she's having a lovely day and being looked after so well.
Sadly I am not "planning" any more babies and will be very sad to say goodbye in July 2019 but also very grateful for helping me to bring up a very confident little lady ready for the challenges of school.

Thank you for always going that extra mile. A-star.

Review from Robert C (Father of Child) published on 2 October 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We have had our younger child here for 3 years up to end of July 2018.
He has loved his time there and it was often a struggle to get him to leave at the end of the day.
There is a caring secure environment.

The staff have been without exception excellent.

Our daughter has only been attending nursery a few weeks and has been very unsettled. However, the staff are amazing and reassure us she will be fine.
And it's no trouble if we ring to check on her.

Overall great job.

Great nursery, lovely friendly and knowledgeable staff and good provisions. My daughter has made excellent progress since being there.

On-site cook means I know she’s eating freshly cooked and healthy food.

Overall Experience

Caring staff, spacious outdoor play area, lots of creative decorations to stimulate children's imagination. It took a while for our daughter to settle in but she is now very happy there. They have some creative snack recipes to encourage children to eat vegetables and a lot of time is spent outside when the weather allows.

Review from Claire S (Mother of Child) published on 16 April 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son has a dairy and soya intolerance and the nursery have been fantastic with dealing with it from day one. He is now in the preschool/foundation class but started in the baby unit and they have always done their best so that my son doesn't feel left out/different at snack at meal times.
My son always has a fantastic time at the nursery and often does not want to leave.
The new forest fun on a Monday is something that he is especially enjoying.

All the staff are great and are always available to speak to if I have any concerns or questions.
