Would highly recommend this nursery!
Thank you ladies!!!
We have always felt welcome in the nursery ever since we came for a visit for our little girl. Everyone at Children's 1st St Peter and St Paul's is professional, polite and has a passion for their job. If we could choose again to send our little girl to a nursery we would absolutely choose St Peter and St Paul's again.
She comes home safe and sound, well-fed and cared for every single time. When our friends start having children we will be recommending them to come to St Peter and St Paul's.
The range of activities offered to the children are outstanding, as is the grub!
The communication is second to none and we consistently feel well-informed, whether it's regarding the tiny details of her day or more significant milestones.
We have full peace of mind upon dropping her off to collecting her that she is well cared for. We are ever grateful for the way in which the staff invest into her future through such dedication. We couldn't ask for more!
Our daughter has had an incredible time at nursery over the last 3 years and her development has been amazing to watch. All the staff are wonderful - kind, knowledgeable, caring, fun and professional always. I couldn't have hoped for a better start to life for my daughter
I couldn't be happier with the care and support our child has received at this Nursery. From the very beginning, the staff have been warm, welcoming, and genuinely invested in our child's wellbeing and development. Most importantly, our child is happy, settled and excited to attend, which speaks volumes!
Hollie is simply lovely and brilliant at her job- she's so patient with my son and he loves her. The whole nursery is well equipped and clean with plenty of things for the children to do. My son especially loves a trip to the woodland
Staff are all incredible to both children and parents, I could not wish for a nicer environment for my children to grow and thrive in.
My eldest was prepared for moving into reception in the best possible way by the team. My youngest is now making their way through the setting and thriving.
I can't thank the staff enough and would recommend this nursery to everyone.
I'm also given daily updates of my son with lovely pictures which is nice to see.
His key worker Stef keeps me notified with all his daily activities.
There is a great outdoor space for the children to play in.
When pickup up my little boy he is all ways happy!
Food is great also all healthy and nutritious.
Really happy with my choice.
We absolutely love this nursery and so does our daughter. The staff know her so well and she's learning so much that she's even started teaching us new nursery rhymes and games to play. Everyone is always really friendly and really switched on, the activities are really engaging for the kids and the staff are really helpful with hints and tips for how to help develop (and manage) the kids at each stage in their learning.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. It's fantastic to hear how well your daughter is thriving with us and that she's even sharing new songs and games at home! We're so pleased you value the strong relationships our team build with the children and families, and we'll be sure to pass your kind words on to everyone.
My daughter has food allergies, and the staff made sure she got separate mats and plates, so she received the correct food. They don't miss out on anything but get a decent equivalent to not feel left out.
I signed my little boy up once he was in my belly to secure a spot. Only a good nursery would be this busy! I feel confident that he'll equally have an amazing time and I look forward to seeing all the friendly staff again who go above and beyond for the children.
The staff here are my absolute village. They love and care for my boys like I would. Without judgment too.
They truly are the village every parent needs.
Yes, the facilities are great, yes, they serve great, wholesome food, take the kids in the woods and things are clean and well-maintained but none of that matters in comparison to the love my boys receive and have for the staff here.
Thank you guys for helping me raise my boys and making such an impact on the future.
I’m very grateful to you all.
Thank you so much for such a heartfelt review. I am at the nursery today and have just shared this with the team and they are in tears at your kind words! It is a pleasure and a privilege to care for your children and is a responsibility that the staff never take for granted. We are lucky to have...
Fantastic nursery that has really helped my son come out of his shell. His communication skills have significantly increased since starting nursery and his confidence is amazing - thank you all for looking after him!
I feel like they genuinely care about my child, are always checking in about his health, giving me great updates at the end of each day for what he's learnt/done. My child has hearing difficulties and they have made sure to cater for his needs.
My child has had a lot of changes in his life and this nursery has been a constant for him. Knowing I can go to work and for him to be in a safe, fun, loving, learning environment is such a comfort to me.
They encourage plenty of learning and play, always making it fun for the children. There's always a structure to their terms and goals in mind to work towards. There's plenty of effort put in to keep the children engaged with their learning.
There are plenty of toys/pretend play/activities to keep children entertained.
They encourage their independence and help build their confidence.
He is now 13 months old and absolutely loves going to nursery, and gives the staff the biggest smiles when we drop him off on a morning!
We had been to look around other nurseries, but once you see St Peter’s and St Paul’s nowhere else compares!
The meal choices are really varied and I have been told are very tasty, I have had to ask for recipes to replicate the meals at home for my son.
My son’s development in his numbers and alphabet has come on amazingly, he also has become more confident and happy since attending Children 1st @ St Peter & St Paul.
My boys are/were very happy to attend and formed very good relationships with their key workers as well as other staff. Staff are always happy to help and nothing feels like too much trouble. It helps ease the guilt knowing my children are thriving and enjoy their time at nursery.
Both of our boys go to this nursery and they absolutely love it! They’ve both been attending from an early age and they’ve come on leaps and bounds. All of the staff are great and produce a fantastic family atmosphere!
We will be sad when we no longer need to use the nursery but also grateful for the start our children have received on their educational path.
All three of our children have attended this nursery and we all love it. They are involved in a huge array of activities, indoors and outdoors. Lots of photos taken, daily diary filled in. There is such a warm, friendly feeling within this nursery. Highly recommend to everyone.
