Review from Abhinaya M (Mother of Child) published on 21 October 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son is 2 yrs old. I put him in the nursery with lots of confused feelings as it's a new place with new faces, new language and new habits. I had to start my job and so I had to take this decision but to my surprise he has got along so well. He is learning things and doing well in many activities.
I am very happy with Children 1st as they are taking good care of him and he has adapted to new things all because of the care and learning he is getting there. Thank you!

My son has recently changed rooms at nursery and the staff have made it seem less for him. He enjoys going to nursery and even though some days he doesn't like drop off, he's always smiling by the time I pick him up.

Our little girl has been attending the nursery since she turned one in January and absolutely loves going. She loves all the staff, playing with her friends, and especially loves being out in the garden! We're very happy with her development and her relationship with her key workers.

My grandson has been attending Wragby Road since he was 8 months old.
The staff are friendly and helpful. My grandson is full-time and always comes out of nursery telling us all the things he's done in the day.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All staff members are very friendly, our little one clearly has created an attachment with his carers.
Admin staff are on point. Always call when there's even the most minute accident. I once forgot my fob key and because the member of staff did not recognize me, they had to check with my little one
assigned carer in the classroom and get their ok to let me in, which made me very happy that they followed procedure to the T. Also, the meals our boy has been having every day actually make me jealous.
5 stars all around in my opinion.

Our child had an absolutely amazing and fun time at Children's 1st at Wragby Road. They are very professional and genuinely care for the children. Our little one enjoys the food menu and the daily activities to support her development. She looks forward to going to the nursery every day.

Childrens 1st is a wonderful nursery. My little boy has settled so well and loves his time there. All staff are very welcoming, polite and friendly. We love the variety of activities that take place, how well-organised the room is and how each staff member knows our son and builds a positive relationship
with him. Thank you for the continued support in our son's development.

My little one has been going here since they were 9 months old, we've had a couple of issues but they were quickly resolved once staff was aware. Everyone has been so friendly, nice, and enthusiastic about my little ones' learning journey especially as they need a bit of an extra helping hand. My little
one loves going to nursery and has made lots of friends there, they are always super excited to tell me about their day.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Children 1st on Wragby Road have been a huge part of our lives since my first little girl attended. The staff have all become part of our family. My first started back in 2019, I was a first-time mummy and handing her over to the team was painstaking but I knew she was in safe hands. Fast forward to
her leaving and joining school, the staff in each room nourished her mind and helped her grow into the independent little girl she is today. Along came my second in 2020. She joined the nursery earlier than expected in 2021 as I had to go back to work earlier than usual due to COVID and the reduced staff in the pharmacy. But she thrived. With the nursery staff's help, we have overcome the difficult behaviour, the biting (which was incredibly hard to overcome!) And just the general toddler/threenager stage. And it's been hard work! But with their support and advice, we're over that hump and progressing towards her starting school.
I can't express how thankful we truly are.

My daughter is getting more confident thanks to the staff at nursery and she’s coming out of her shell more. She always seems to have a good time there. The only thing I can say is that if my child has a spare jumper in the bag, can you please put it on her as it’s not warm enough just to be in a T-shirt.

Really happy with Children 1st @ Wragby Road, both my children love attending. Lots of care and attention across all the rooms my kids have attended. Fresh variety of meals and snacks too. My son, in early years, talks about how much fun he has all the time and loves the staff.

Our little girl started at Children 1st @ Wragby Road in November when she was six months old. We were first-time parents navigating our first childcare journey, and the team at Wragby Road has gone above and beyond helping our daughter (and us!) settle into nursery life!
Our daughter is always greeted
with a welcoming voice, a friendly smile and a happy face! Her key workers have been truly wonderful, and we feel completely at ease dropping her off every day. Thank you to all for such a lovely experience; we can't wait to watch her continue her journey at Children 1st Wragby Road!

My daughter started at the beginning of December, and from day one, she has always just walked in, had a few days where she wasn’t sure, but think that was down to her having a cold. Every staff member has been so patient and welcoming to my daughter. Thank you so much.

I cannot fault Children 1st Wragby Road Nursery for my little girl. From the very first day, we both felt so welcomed and my little one absolutely loves her time at the nursery. The staff are all so welcoming and so friendly and they are always on hand if I have any questions. My little girl absolutely
adores the staff from her previous class! And she now loves her current key workers! They are all so good with her and I can’t thank them enough for looking after my little girl!

Our son started in March 2023 at Children 1st Wragby Road and we couldn't have been happier. He has such a great time, always happy when we pick up. The staff do an amazing job at being attentive to him and always keep us updated on progress. We really appreciate the nursery's flexibility when it comes
to requesting last minute sessions too.

Both our children attend this nursery and have the most special time and learn so much. It really is lovely to see how happy they are when we pick them up at the end of the day. We’re very grateful for the lovely relationships they’ve made with the staff in the rooms, who always make an effort to chat
to them even if they’re with me when I’m dropping the other one off. Thank you to everyone at the nursery who help keep them all safe and well cared for, we really recommend this nursery.

My son has been coming to Children's 1st Wragby Road for nearly 2 years and he absolutely loves it here. He has moved through the rooms and is now in early years. All of the staff are friendly and welcoming and make each child feel special and valued. I get regular updates on how my son is progressing
within nursery and a verbal handover each day of what he's done that day. The staff know my son so well and know when he needs any extra support or if he is feeling under the weather. I trust the staff working here completely to care for my son and feel at ease leaving him in their care whilst I go to work. They listen to any concerns I have about him and take an active interest in his development. The staff are always so helpful when needing to sort anything out especially the administration team when trying to sort out funding hours and are always flexible around my off duty. Would recommend this nursery to anyone and my son will be sad to leave when he starts school in September.
Reply from David Hancock, Chief Executive at Children 1st Wragby Road Nursery SchoolI’m so pleased to hear how much your little one loves to attend our Wragby Road setting. It’s also great to hear the procedures we have in place are meeting your needs as a parent as well as the needs of your little one. Thank you for taking the time to share these lovely comments, I look forward to sharing this with the setting.

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.

Joanna Parker

Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2018

Hello, my name is Joanna Parker and I joined Children 1st in 2018. I completed my NNEB and have worked in various roles within nurseries, working my way up from Nursery Nurse to Nursery Manager.


I’m particularly proud of achieving my Foundation Degree in Early Years through the Open University while working, which gave me a Level 5 qualification.


I really enjoy working with families — from welcoming them on their very first visit to seeing them begin their nursery journey with us. I love organising family events and creating opportunities for them to be part of nursery life.


I feel very passionate about making sure every family feels included in our setting and knows they can turn to us for support whenever they need it. I’m also proud to work alongside an amazing team who go above and beyond every day to provide high-quality learning and care for every child. Supporting my team and helping each member reach their full potential is something I value highly in my role.
