Children 1st Leicester Nursery School

The staff are friendly, the place is clean and never had a problem with anything or anyone. All the activities that the little man does seem great fun.

Children 1st @ Leicester, Riverview is a wonderful facility with extremely pleasant, caring and supportive staff. Our daughter loves attending here and her growth (both educationally and behaviourally) because of it, has been tremendous.

I am very grateful.

All staff/management are very friendly and helpful.

A brilliant environment for your child to grow and develop. The staff are amazing and professional. There is so much for your child to do there and it is a great start in life and before they start school.

All the staff are friendly and helpful. My son had made loads of improvements with his speech and learning since attending children’s 1st nursery

The nursery and it's staff have an amazing ethos. I have been using their service for the last 5 years now with both my children attending since they were one. I have loved seeing how my babies have thrived throughout each specific specialised room which has helped them to grow, develop and learn and become more independent. The staff have been amazing in each area, providing the attention to my children every step if the way, they have all been like 2nd mothers when I myself cannot be there - thank you to each and everyone there, they are an amazing set of people with huge hearts. When advice has been needed, the nursery have always helped, for example with potty training and eating habits. They have always taken on any feedback with positive commitment and the management and day to day running is thanks to the fantastic management team on site, great work :)

I'm happy with my daughter going to this nursery. She has learnt a lot from the nursery to enhance herself. The staff are great and helpful. I will be sending my second child here soon.

My daughter loves coming to this nursery and she is always excited about it! She has settled in really well with the help of the lovely, friendly staff and she has made lots of friends here. She is doing great with her learning too!

It's a great place. My son loves the staff and always comes home smiling. The food is always great, the learning he completes there is great. All round a great place to send my son.

Overall very good nursery. My child is very happy during the days they attend and comes home telling tales of a brilliant and exciting day, signing new songs and showing us all the new things they have learnt.

Children 1st @ Leicester have created a wonderfully warm and nurturing environment for all the children who attend the Leicester site. My daughter receives invaluable support in all aspects of her development and has formed positive relationships with the staff and other children in the 2 years she has been attending.

We can honestly say this is an excellent nursery for your child. My son has attended for over 6 months and he has flourished in the care of the excellent members of staff. Just before Christmas, we moved house and our son was to start a new nursery. He did settling in sessions at his new nursery and attended 2 days there before we realised how poor the new nursery was in comparison. We were able to return to the nursery quickly and with little-added disruption to our son's schedule. He settled back in instantly.

At Children 1st @ Leicester, all the team have a genuine interest in getting to know and care for your child. The meals have a wide variety and the routines of the day allow the children to settle well. I can not speak highly enough about the staff and managers at this nursery. We would use again for any future children. Highly recommended.

My daughter has been going to Riverside since she was eight months old, she’s now 21 months old. She’s really happy there, the staff are brilliant. They know all the children well as individuals and treat them with kindness. They have a great range of activities. They communicate with us really well, so we always know how she’s doing. I would recommend the nursery to anyone.

Childrens 1st @ Leicester is a great environment for my son. He always enjoys being there. Childrens 1st @ Leicester always endeavour to suit our son's needs which is fantastic as some nurseries are not as accommodating. I would definitely recommend Childrens 1st @ Leicester.

Very good nursery, my son has been going since April 2017 and he loves it. He looks forward to going every day. I would recommend it to anyone.

Everything in Children 1st is oriented and made for children, targeted at their level and empowering them to do things themselves. I love the fact that adults are made to adapt themselves to the world of the children who are really the centre of the nursery. Most of all though I love the staff. The team is fantastic throughout all the rooms, including management and other members of staff like cleaners and cooks. Every time our daughter had to change a room I was scared the staff would not be as nice in the next room, but they have been. Everyone is caring and truly involved with the children, which has made us all feel so at home.

Children 1st offer lots of opportunities with all latest toys encouraging my son all the time. Healthy food - he loves to eat there. His key worker is just amazing, I couldn't have chosen a better place to send him.

The fact that my child likes to come to nursery and doesn't cry when I drop him shows me that he enjoys. The nursery is clean and smart. My child shows improvements, He can count 1-10, he likes us to read to him at home, he can sing a lot of nursery rhymes. He can eat independently well. The nursery staff communicate well with me. The nursery is very reliable and I feel safe to leave my child there. Will you please consider to review paying even if the child doesn't attend nursery or if the child is poorly.

Our daughter has been attending since she was 6 months old and is now 3. We all love the nursery from the care they show, the development, range of activities and the friendships she has built with staff and other children. It will be a shame when she has to go to school later this year. I would recommend this nursery to anyone looking or modern, innovative, creative, safe and nurturing care for their children.
