Both of my children have used this nursery. I have always been extremely happy with the quality of care offered and the personal communication we receive. A wonderful nursery!
After a few friends had recommended Children's 1st @ St Peter & St Paul. We went to look around and had a fabulous tour of the baby suite right through to preschool.
My son has attended since he was 19 months old and I am really happy with the service from every single member of staff we have dealt with along the way!
Having used this nursery before, we knew what to expect when our 2nd child attended. Great staff and they will always accommodate you where possible.
It's a hard decision finding the right nursery for the most precious little one in your life. I looked around lots of nurseries but when I came to Children 1st @ St Peter & St Paul I felt instantly that it was the right nursery for us. Although a big nursery, the children are sectioned off into little groups of activities. Even in early years, they seem to have a really good adult to child ratio and that's what I really liked. There is always someone on reception to greet you, the key workers of the children really get to know your child and I like that too. Recently I dropped my son off late and I was amazed at what the classes were doing, I knew they did these things but I'd never seen it first hand before. They were baking cookies, crafting, in the garden, reading and doing musical instruments in their groups. It was fantastic to see. Every child seemed happy, engaged and very settled. I highly recommend Childre 1st @ St Peter & St Paul. Our son has been very happy here and has learnt so much.
I am very happy with the nursery and its facilities. The staff are amazing and very caring. My little boy took a long time to settle in and they were all very patient and caring with him. The only negatives are the waiting list times and the high cost.
My 4-year-old daughter has been going to this nursery since she was 5 months old and I am extremely happy with her progress. I get numerous amount of compliments and people asking which nursery she goes to! I have my 1-year-old daughter currently in the baby room too and she loves it. It's such a lovely feeling going to work knowing your children are being looked after with 100% dedication.
Excellent nursery with wonderful facilities. My child has always been happy and well cared for, he has a great time every day that he attends.
Staff on every level are professional, friendly, helpful and caring and we have developed special relationships with all of his key workers and communication and feedback is always excellent.
Our nursery journey is coming to and end as we will start full-time school this September - I am confident that we made the right choice of nursery at Children 1st @ St Peter & St Paul and am thankful to the team for their role in my son's development. The Early Years Team offer an excellent learning base that is preparing us for our transition into primary school brilliantly.
Excellent nursery. My daughter has attended here for over two years. The team there feel like family now. I know that I am always leaving her in great hands. The staff there are second mums, teachers and friends combined. We will be sad to leave in September when my daughter starts school. Family and friends comment on the development of my daughter and it is down to the hard work and support of the staff at Children's 1st @St Peter and St Paul nursery.
The staff are fantastic at developing the children, through education and recreational activities and the children get lots of outdoor play time and exercise.
My daughter loves going to nursery. She is always busy playing a variety of games and activities. They always spend some time each day outside which I feel is really important. I am very pleased with the amount of knowledge she has gained during her time there. She regularly surprises me with the things she knows! And I feel that the nursery has prepared her well for school in September.
The staff have always been welcoming to myself and as well as the lovely greeting to my granddaughter every day that we go. The simulation, encouragement and education that she has received has been excellent.
I am so pleased that she has spent her early years at such a wonderful nursery with such devoted staff.
My son is extremely happy here, the level of care, education and feedback is excellent.
I would highly recommend.
Had some initial issues but now been resolved.
Great outdoor space.
Happy for you to call to see how your child is.
Same staff most days which is essential for me.
Thanks.
In a nutshell, my little boy absolutely loves it at nursery. He's excited when we arrive there in a morning and always happy when I pick him up. The staff are kind, professional and really helped with the settling in process. I'm amazed how much my little one has come on with his development since starting there. It's obvious that the staff spend quality time with each child. Thanks for giving us peace of mind that he's happy, safe and well cared for whilst we are at work.
Excellent nursery staff, my daughter loves going there.
Both our children currently attend St Peter & St Paul's Nursery, our little boy since he was 18 months old and is now 4 years old and in his final term before he starts school. He is confident, intelligent and has a brilliant personality and we owe much of this to the lovely staff who have cared for him for the last 3 years. He loves coming to nursery, has lots of friends and always talks about what he and his friends have been up to that day with excitement. Our little girl started at 7 months old and after only a few sessions she would go to her key worker and not even cry! Now she is 15 months old and walks into her class and waves us goodbye, she has lots of fun and again is very confident and developing in all areas very quickly. Whilst at work, we love receiving photos and updates via the e-log to see what that are both doing. We are very happy that we chose St Peter & St Paul's and feel we have given our children a great start in life!
I am delighted with my daughter's nursery experience, she doesn't like change and it took her a long time to settle but the nursery staff have been so patient and caring with her that she is now really happy and dropping her off is easy. I really appreciate how she has been treated as an individual and been allowed to develop at her own pace. Her key worker in particular has been wonderful and now we are moving to the next room will really miss her. The nursery is beautifully presented and equipped, great food and fantastic staff.
My Son started nursery over 18 months ago and goes two mornings a week. As a parent when the time comes to go back to work it is such a tough call but leaving my child in the care of Children's 1st Nursery St Peter and St Pauls has been by far my best decision, the attention to detail and the personal touch of every member of staff makes you feel completely at ease, with the nursery itself being developed to such a high standard my son looks forward to going and has made lovely friends. We look forward to his regular elog progress reports and feel he has come on leaps and bounds. We always recommend you to our friends as the staff and quality of care is impeccable.
We have found the nursery to be very well run whilst being fun and very friendly for our daughter. Staff are very polite and helpful. Meals are good and our daughter enjoys her time each week.
