Children 1st Shepshed Nursery School

This is the second child that I have sent to this nursery. The staff are always welcoming and friendly. The facilities are amazing. I know when I leave my baby there they’re well looked after. Both the indoor and outdoor spaces are amazing. My baby loves it and I’d recommend the nursery.

The entire staff are just so friendly and welcoming you instantly feel comfortable.

Her speech has come on massively too.

This nursery is absolutely amazing. My daughter loves every staff member and she is really well nurtured. She is leaving now for a big school but we would be back in a heartbeat. Everyone is so friendly and caring we couldn't wish for a better experience.

We have been blown away by how fantastic this nursery is. The staff are enthusiastic, helpful and caring. The facilities indoors and outdoors are incredible. After only one session, our son felt safe and happy to attend thanks to the amazing staff. We feel he is going to thrive in this setting!

Absolutely fantastic nursery! My child loves going here and the staff are amazing with him. After a bad experience with another nursery, I switched to Children 1st @ Shepshed and it was the best decision I have made. My son has come on leaps and bounds.

The most friendly staff. My daughter loves her time at nursery and her transition to early learning could not of been easier. The nursery even took the time to hold an open night so they could show us the early learning floor and discuss what our children would be doing. So good I even recommended them to my sister!

Everyone is very friendly and helpful. Communication with parents is effective and clear. It is a safe and fun environment. My child loves going, loves the activities and always tells me something that has happened that day.

Really pleased with the whole team and still getting used to everyone and my little one being in care of children first. Pleased with everything so far. No real complaints but would like to see more pictures and updates on little ones day to day and progress as this seems to be inconsistent. But so impressed and happy when updates do come through. My little one has a lovely relationship with the staff and it's so reassuring to see.

I just cannot speak highly enough of the nursery!

My son really enjoys his time at nursery, I am always updated of the exciting activities he takes part in and I love to see the photos which they include with a small write up of what they have been up to as well as their development. My little boy can sometimes be unsettled when going in, however, they make him welcome and give him the comfort he needs and after this he’s fine. He will also come running out of nursery with a big smile on his face. All the staff are very friendly and will answer any questions. My son had came on leaps and bounds since attending and will always be saying lots of new words after he has been for a session at nursery. The girls go above and beyond and provide excellent care for my child and I’m not worried when he’s in their care. I love the small details including the bag/nursery rhyme book and the daily diary which is now online. This helps when my partner picks up as I know what he’s exactly eaten and slept.

Staff are very friendly and approachable, they always have fun activities for the children to partake in and keep you up to date with child development. It's one of my daughter's favourite places to be.

Due to living in a first floor flat with no garden, it's an ideal nursery as the outdoor space and facilities suit my daughter perfectly.

My boy loves nursery. He has the best time: filled with activities, play and education. If he has had an accident I'm always in the loop and I fully appreciate the dedication of the staff. Worth every penny!

My 19-month-old has only been at the nursery for three weeks now and has settled so well. Since being at this nursery I feel there has been a positive change, I feel he is more independent. My little one is a fussy eater at home but at nursery he seems to eat well which is a bonus. Happy with the feedback I get with him. Nursery always keeps parents updated with any changes and important information. Love the app that is used too.

We have two children that attend Children's 1st @ Shepshed and we cannot recommend them enough! It is the most welcoming, professional, approachable and friendly setting that we could wish for, nothing is ever too much hassle. As soon as the lovely ladies open the doors in the morning, it's smiles, happy conversation and little cuddles to transition them from us into them for the day. They both come out full of laughter, stories and life having learned new things! They have a vast indoor and outdoor space with multiple areas to play in, explore, develop and learn. Our children bring home many pictures, paintings and models they have made which demonstrates the connection and interaction the staff has with them. They also put on an array of themes and activities which include dress-up days! The app is brilliant! It allows us to get daily updates and pictures as well as messages to keep us up to speed with what's going on. The nursery has also been consistently supportive and understanding during the pandemic.

Every morning our son is greeted by the nursery's administrator who makes him feel safe, smile and most importantly, cares for him as though he is her own - because of this we have never had tears when leaving him, it's normally the other way round when he doesn't want to leave nursery! Our son toddles through to his room where he equally has the best nursery teacher's who love and support him so much. He has developed incredibly since being at nursery and it's them who we thank for that! The pictures/comments we receive on the app honestly make our day, I love seeing what he is up to and his little smile! All staff involved in our son's care have been amazing from day one (even the food choices!), we have never once felt disappointed. Thank you to the nursery manager and administrator who have always gone above and beyond when we've needed extra support etc. We are so thankful for Children 1st @ Shepshed!

Children’s First Shepshed is a fantastic nursery. Our son loves it there. The staff are always friendly and welcoming and make my boy feel cared for. I love all of the activities that they have had on recently such as scooter day. I enjoy looking at eyLog to see what he has been getting up to at nursery.

This is an outstanding nursery and I can’t recommend it highly enough! The staff are very professional and friendly, the premises are very well maintained and clean. Food is cooked on-site and there is a great variety. The children have a wide range of activities both inside and outside and everything they do is geared towards constantly learning and developing. Our children have both been very happy here and we have been very happy with the staff, the running of the nursery and with the support, learning and opportunities offered to our children. This year, the nursery has been consistently supportive and understanding during the pandemic. They’ve implemented new processes and have been extremely reasonable with fees. We couldn’t have asked for more.

Absolutely amazing nursery. My little boy loves going and asks to go every day, even on weekends. The staff are out of this world and they really make the nursery special! Every single one of them is so lovely and brilliant at their job.
