First Steps (Ruskington)

The staff are amazing with my son, me and my partner both need to work full time and knowing he loves going to nursery and loves all the staff there is so important to us. Susan and Olwen are always patient and understanding with him and us, he thrives there and has become so confident in himself!

Can not thank them enough for what they did for my family.

Such a wonderful welcoming nursery. All the staff are incredibly warm and wonderful! My son loves them all like family, he is always excited to see what new adventures he will get up to. I couldn't wish for better people to take care of my child!

Ruskington First Steps is a top class nursery, they have been amazing with our daughter since the moment she started at 9 months. The staff are friendly, personal and always happy to help. They know our little girl inside out. Whenever there is an issue they are quick to resolve. They go above and beyond in all areas, the effort that was put into a birthday card for our daughter's older brother was amazing. It would be remiss of me to not comment on the exceptional work ethic and attitude of all the staff but specifically the deputy manager who was our daughter's key worker and supported her through settling in period amazingly and continues to care and support her now! 10/10!!!!

My partner and I have been delighted with Kindred First Steps (Ruskington) since our daughter started there several months ago. She looks forward to going each day she's in and it's so reassuring for us to know that she's happy there. The staff are amazing and our daughter couldn't be in better hands. Communication is excellent and includes brief handover info at pick up, more detailed written feedback in the booklet, photos and reports in the app, as well as timely responses to any emails. There are lots of varied activities throughout the day and regular opportunities to play outside where there is plenty of space and equipment. Our daughter enjoys each day at nursery and that speaks volumes.

They supported myself and my daughter through the first steps off her autism Assesment to ensure this was ready to go before she started primary school

If I ever have any more children, I would send them back in a heartbeat

Olwen & Susan, along with all the other members of staff, truly care for the children as if they were their own. My daughter absolutely loves going in and runs straight to them, which is amazing to see when you're trusting someone else to care for your child. It's so reassuring to know she feels happy, safe, and well looked after.

Our child has been attending this nursery for over a year now - they are excited every day to go & I trust the team there whole heartedly.

They look after them so well, they come home happy, fed & content and I couldn't ask for anything more. They are informative & attentive & make every parent and child feel like they are their priority.

We couldn't be happier with the care our son receives here. From day one, the staff made us feel like family. It's so heartening to see him run into his classroom with a smile every morning. The teachers are genuinely invested in his happiness and development, and we feel so lucky to have found such a nurturing environment for his early years.

My daughter always comes home happy after her day at nursery. It's reassuring as a parent to know she is enjoying her time there and being well looked after. I would definitely recommend First Steps Nursery to other parents.

After so many recommendations from family, friends and colleagues we never had any doubt that we would send our children to First Steps. It has such a fantastic reputation in the local area. My little boy joined in April 2024 and has thrived in their care. It is a fantastic nursery with brilliant provision and kind, caring staff who get to know the children so well! They have a fantastic space and outdoor area which is always used to support the children's learning and development. We are so happy we chose First Steps.

First Steps is an incredible nursery, and we feel genuinely lucky to send our children there.

From day one, the team have been warm, patient, and truly invested in helping each child feel safe and confident. Our little one's settled in so quickly thanks to the nurturing atmosphere and the way the staff take time to understand each child's personality.

The facilities are clean and well organised with a lovely outdoor space to maximise time spent outdoors which our children love. The activities are creative, varied, and thoughtfully planned, and we've seen such a positive boost in confidence, communication, and independence. They love going in every morning and come home full of stories about what they've been up to, and especially the food they've eaten!

Our children have flourished at First Steps, and we would confidently recommend it to any family seeking high quality childcare.

Ruskington First Steps is a lovely nursery where both of my children have attended. The dedicated and friendly staff make the nursery what it is. They genuinely care about the children, they have a smile on their faces every day and it's clear they have a wonderful relationship with the children. My son started in preschool and he was a shy little boy but settled in quicker than expected due to the time and effort of the staff. My daughter has attended since she was a few months old and she has grown in confidence. They offer a range of activities daily, my daughter especially loves singing and dancing with the staff. I find their policies to be fair and I feel my child is safe and well looked after.
