They are always polite to the children and make them feel welcome every day. They always get nice food. Very good with activities and learning for the children. Always clean when you walk in and fetch the children.
I am very happy with the choice of nursery! The staff are very friendly, helpful and caring for the children. My daughter only says good things about the nursery. She's been there for a few months and I can see how much she's grown. English isn’t her first language but she’s starting to understand and speak English, the staff help her and give her support. My daughter loves food from nursery, it always smells like home food there.
All the staff are warm and welcoming and they care for the children like family.
Our little boy has become a confident little boy in all areas of development. He is happy to go in and have cuddles and doesn't want to leave when we collect him. His talking has come on really well and he enjoys colouring, painting and playing outside.
This is my daughter's third nursery and it is the best by miles. All the staff are warm, kind and thoughtful and you can tell that they really care about the children. My daughter has flourished being here and her speech has improved a lot. One of the things I appreciate most is that they provide daily updates on an app and they do this without fail. My daughter loves telling me about all the activities she completes, such as painting and water play.
Our little girl has been coming for two weeks, she is settling in well and has a smile on her face every day I drop her off. The girls in the baby room really look after her. We love getting updates and pictures of how she's getting on.
Can’t thank everyone at Children 1st Day Nursery enough for how they have made my two children settle in. They both cannot wait to go to nursery in the mornings and go straight in like it’s a second home. Their development has come along miles in just a few months and has been amazing to see.
Amazing nursery, staff are so kind and friendly and really make an effort with daily activities. Such a welcoming and clean environment, I love this place and so does my son. He has learnt so much since starting and I would recommend to anyone!
Everyone is amazing without a doubt but a big special hug and thanks to his teacher for always walking the extra mile and for taking every challenge with a big smile! Nothing is ever too little or too big for her, every situation is handled with a caring attitude and professionalism.
Couldn’t wish for anything more from this nursery, all staff go above and beyond for the children and both of my children are very happy there. Nothing is ever too much trouble and I can go to work knowing my children are safe, happy and having fun playing with their friends and being looked after by the caring staff at Children 1st Day Nursery.
Brilliant nursery, have helped out amazingly with both my children and they have both absolutely loved going. The staff are fabulous and are all lovely. 100% recommend to anyone that’s looking for a nursery.
One of my daughters used to come out of nursery with a massive smile on her face and sand in her shoes.
Now my other daughter loves going to nursery to see all her friends. She always has a smile on her face and gets upset when it's not her day for nursery.
My daughter has come on a long way since being at nursery, she loves her teachers and always tells me little stories, I love listening to how her day was. I feel I can talk to all teachers and ask any questions. I love receiving photos daily so I know she’s ok and having fun, thank you so much staff, you do an amazing job.
He's really come out of his shell over the last few weeks and is full of confidence.
The nursery has been more than accommodating with his dietary requirements and every day he has lots of yummy and nutritious meals and snacks.
The staff are brilliant. My little boy is always so excited to go to nursery and smiles ear to ear when he arrives.
The daily diary lets me know exactly what he's been up to. Every day he's doing exciting activities, indoors and outdoors.
The outdoor space is fantastic, as the kids can use it rain or shine, because of how it's been built.
The staff listen to everything you say and always have transparent and clear communication with me. Even little things like how warm my little boy likes his milk and the things that make him laugh.
We 100% recommend this nursery.
We're so glad we sent out little man here! 10 out of 10.
My son has been going to Grantham Children 1st since Dec 2020 and from the day he has started he has loved every minute. He started not knowing many words at all and was behind in a lot of development phases but the staff at Children 1st have supported him leaps and bounds, and we couldn't thank them enough. My son adores his teachers and his classmates and gets excited just seeing the school building when we drive past. He comes home every time saying something new or doing something new and we are extremely proud of him and thankful we found a nursery like Children 1st. I can't thank the staff enough for all they do.
All 3 of my children have attended Children’s 1st and the feedback, observations, and activities they have done/do are amazing and I couldn’t ask for more. All of the staff are extremely welcoming and have always got a smile on their face. I wouldn’t send my children anywhere else!
Very lovely staff and very helpful, my daughter loves it here and wants to take her teacher with her to big school. I would highly recommend it to anyone. They go above and beyond for you. Always friendly and clean.
This nursery has been brilliant for my daughter over the past two years, she is a very quiet shy little girl but she has really grown in confidence since being here, and has built strong bonds with both staff and classmates, they have prepared her perfectly for her next big step to big school! Highly recommended!
I absolutely love this nursery, I am always recommending it to everyone I know, they have helped me so much since my little boy started. He loves it there and has an amazing bond with the staff. They have been fantastic throughout lockdown and COVID. I honestly couldn’t ask for a better nursery
The staff are excellent and reassure my son when he is upset, he has only been in nursery for 6 months but he has come leaps and bounds. Would highly recommend to other parents.
The standard of service at Children 1st @ Grantham is excellent. The staff are extremely supportive and caring of my child and his development is fantastic as a result. The management team are well organised and very flexible, especially with all the changes over the last year. Thank you.

I have over 20 years childcare experience in different settings and roles. I have the level 3 NNEB qualification, an NVQ in Team Leading and an NVQ in Management.
I started working at the Grantham nursery 3 years ago as a Senior Nursery Nurse in the under 2s unit and was promoted to Deputy Manager overseeing the under 3s unit in January 2014, also supporting our EYT and Manager with the day to day running of the Early Years unit and Nursery as a whole.
I am really enjoying my new role as manager at our Outstanding nursery.
I am extremely passionate about the nursery I work in as I was born nearby and get tremendous job satisfaction seeing the wonderful children we look after learn and develop in a happy, safe and stimulating environment.
