Our girls have been attending this nursery for over a year now and we are very happy with the experience. The environment is really welcoming and the staff are caring, kind and attentive. Communication with parents is excellent, the food is varied and there is a great range of engaging activities. We
love that there is lots of outdoor play and appreciate the daily update posts and photos. I would highly recommend this nursery to parents looking for a supportive and nurturing environment. Our girls are always smiling on pick up. Big thanks to everyone.

My little boy has recently moved into Bobtails room at Wragby Road and he is having an amazing time. Every morning he is eager to get into the room and go and play - sometimes not even looking back at me to say goodbye! All the staff working in there are wonderful at what they do and so good at keeping
me updated on how his day has been (A special mention to Miss Analise who posts lovely pictures almost every day of what he is getting up to!) thank you Bobtails!

I currently have two children who attend wragby road. My eldest in the preschool room is always eager to come to nursery to see her friends and tell the staff what she has been up to at home. She is very excited to tell me all about her day on the way home and is really enjoying the introduction of
forest school. My little boy has just transition out of the baby room, a process which I was kept informed of and went very smoothly! He loved his time in the baby room and they really encouraged his development. He has settled well into his new room and is enjoying the activities on offer.
The staff are all amazing and you are always greeted with a smile.

Our son has attended since he was 9 months old and is now 2.5, and the nursery has been amazing throughout. They supported him through potty training and his social development has come on so much. He absolutely loves going and we completely trust the team with him. We've also noticed a massive improvement
(not that it needed it) since becoming a storal nursery!

Our daughter has been attending Children's First on Rugby Road and we couldn't be happier with the experience.
The staff are wonderful - always caring, friendly, and clearly passionate about what they do. It's very reassuring as parents to know she is in such a supportive and nurturing environment
every day.
One of the things she enjoys the most is the outdoor play area. She is always excited to tell us about the time she's spent outside exploring and playing with her friends. The learning activities are also fantastic and really engaging. We've noticed how much she's developing, and she often comes home proudly singing the new songs she has learned at nursery.
It's clear that a lot of thought and effort goes into making the days fun, educational, and stimulating for the children.
We would absolutely recommend Children's First on Wragby Road to other parents looking for a caring, positive, and engaging

Choosing to send my son here was one of the best decisions I have ever made. After having a previous bad experience with another nursery with my eldest son I was very anxious about where to send my next baby. The nursery stag have always been so reassuring and have been a great support for us. There's
a clear passion for what they do and my son loves nursery days! I never have an issue getting him in the door and he's always filled with stories about what they've been up to. In fact, if he could he would want to go 7 days a week! Whenever there has been a concern or question it has been dealt with quickly and professionally.
Thank you for being awesome!

We love this nursery and would recommend it to anyone. My child has been attending for just over 3 years and he is thriving. The staff are all lovely and really know the children. The early years room is great, the staff are always very happy to chat to you at drop off and pick up and give good handovers
about your child's day. The range of activities on offer for the children is huge, lots of free play and additional activities like Kixx football sessions, forest school and visits from other organisations (fire engine, animals etc). The foods is varied and healthy. Whenever we have had any concerns, the staff are always very approachable and understanding, they take concerns seriously and take time to help rectify any queries you might have. I have always felt confident that my child is being well cared for by the staff and that he is safe and has the opportunity to develop friendships, independence and confidence. Thank you

I could not wish for a better nursery for my son to attend, leaving your child in the hands of others is really difficult but Children 1st make this so much easier. Their communication is brilliant, he is offered a variety of foods, takes part in lots of activities but most importantly I can see how
much the staff care and how loved he is there. A huge shout out to the baby room staff particularly, they're superstars and we'd be lost without them.

Amazing nursery! I have 2 children here with my first starting in January 2023. All staff members are friendly, approachable and lovely, my boys always have so much fun when they attend and my eldest will tell me all about what fun activities he has done throughout the day. If I've ever had any questions
staff will always be there to help and nothing is ever too much for them. I would 100% recommend this nursery to any parents it really is a lovely, nurturing setting for them.

I cannot praise the nursery enough. My child has thrived since starting. Staff know them so well and cater to their interests. I feel safe leaving my child here. Although my child still gets a bit upset at drop off, staff respond quickly and distract them with things that they enjoy- reading books is
the current favourite!
The nursery resources are fantastic and kept in great condition.
Management is effective and approachable and I feel like they also know my child well.
I would very much recommend this nursery.

Wonderful nursery!
Our little boy has been at Children 1st Wragby Road Nursery School for 13 months now, and we couldn't be happier. When we first looked around, this nursery stood out for its amazing outdoor space: the largest and most beautiful we'd seen giving children plenty of room to explore
and play.
The staff are incredible: kind, caring, and genuinely passionate about the children's development. As a family of a different nationality, we've always felt welcomed and included. Our son has learned so much through their creative activities, growing in confidence and curiosity every week.
We also love the surprise bags, themed days, and especially the new app, which makes it so easy to stay connected and see what our little one is up to.
We're truly grateful for everything the team does a caring, inspiring, and joyful nursery we wholeheartedly recommend!

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.957)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.957) out of 10 for Children 1st Wragby Road Nursery School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 47 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 47 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.957 for Children 1st Wragby Road Nursery School is calculated as follows: ( (544 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 564 Ratings = 4.957
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Children 1st Wragby Road Nursery School is based on 47 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 98 number of registered child places is 19.6, which has been reached with 47 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
