Sending your child to this nursery will be one of the best decisions you will make.
My daughter has a great time at Children 1st. She has developed so much during her time here. The teachers and key workers are all great. So much effort goes into week themes and activities. She has really developed and I feel they have really helped towards her being prepared for starting school. The early year's teacher is amazing.
Staff have taken time to get to know my son's personality, strengths and 'quirks'. This has helped him build trusting relationships, feel secure and increase his confidence. The nursery setting is lovely - really stimulating, engaging and often updated to reflect themes and new areas of focus. My experience of management has been very positive - any questions or concerns responded to very promptly. The best thing is knowing that staff think as much of my son as I do.
My child has always enjoyed going to nursery and she always has a smile on her face when I pick her up. The early year's team are a fantastic group and always go above and beyond for the children. The communication between staff and parents is super. We are always kept up to date with what is going on in the nursery. Children 1st nursery is an amazing place and has really helped my child prepare for school.
My daughter has flourished at Children 1st, she has developed special friendships and her confidence has grown. All of the staff go above and beyond to ensure that their learning experiences are exciting, nurturing and stimulating. I feel that the nursery has given my daughter the right foundations to confidently and happily start her next journey at school. Thank you to all of the staff along her journey.
All the staff at Toton have been amazing. This was my sons first experience of nursery and he was very quiet, shy and unsure. He has now gained so much confidence ready for school and it's all thanks to the input and care put in by all the staff.
We are more than impressed with the care and attention that is given to the children at Toton. We have had three girls go through nursery from the baby bungalow to early years. Each step was approached with care and consideration by the staff and all of our children thrived. Thank you. Our girls loved coming to nursery and as a parent, you can hope for nothing more.
So happy we chose this nursery! The staff are friendly, helpful and professional. My daughter is so happy here and well looked after. I love the daily photos and app updates. The cards and extras they make with them even as babies! Just everything they do here is amazing! Thank you.
Lovely staff, very caring, clean and bright environment. I love the updates via the app with photos. Loads of communication about his day when we pick him up. He is always happy to arrive and never wants to come home at the end of the day! Staff always happy to share advice on how best to support him.
We're extremely satisfied with the care our daughter is receiving at the nursery.
The staff are outstandingly professional, kind and helpful/supportive. The nursery has lots of play areas, both in and outside, and daily learning activities.
We get regular updates through the app about her development, activities including photos, it is fabulous!
She enjoys going to nursery which is a sign that she is being cared for and loved.
We are very thankful to all the staff.
The facilities are excellent. The staff are so supportive. She has experienced a wide variety of foods and tastes. The Admin is clear and easy. We thoroughly recommend this nursery.
Excellent nursery. As a parent, one of the hardest things you will do in the early years is pick a nursery and drop your child off on the first day. The staff at this nursery have been incredibly supportive and have always looked to ensure we and our child are comfortable. As first-time parents, the nursery staff have been an excellent support network and have been a great source of advice, support and comfort in helping us bring up our child and having their experience to hand has been very reassuring. No regrets about picking this nursery and we are continually impressed by the range of activities offered. An excellent, supportive, friendly and collaborative nursery.
The workers at Children 1st @ Toton are always pleasant, dedicated and very hard working and I feel that they look after my girls with pride and professionalism. There is a management layer who at times appear very intense but overall are courteous and considerate.
Excellent facilities, great staff and care provision. My son really enjoys attending nursery and has settled in really well to the new group he joined in January.
Fantastic supportive staff, work in child’s best interest and take into account any changes that may impact them.
My little boy enjoys going to the nursery in Toton. His key worker is lovely and always keeps me up to date with his progress and my little boy is always happy to go to her and this makes going to work so much easier. All the ladies are lovely too who. My little boy goes to both of them too, which again makes it so much better. My little boy has come on so much since going to this nursery. He’s hitting all his milestones and they put so much effort into making things with them. At Christmas, I got so many lovely things that they had made with my little boy which was lovely.
I couldn’t recommend this nursery enough and the manager is really nice and always willing to help with any queries I may have.
I love my Children 1st family. My boys are there four days a week and I work long hours, they play a big part in their lives and I couldn't wish for anything better. They are always coming out with smiles on their faces and can't wait to go again, even asking at weekends why it's closed. They are a great team and have supported boy the boys and myself through a lot, I don't know what I'd do without them. A great big thank you from all of us.
Brilliant nursery with excellent nursery nurses. My son has enjoyed his time at nursery and has made some great friends. Lots of great learning opportunities for children to develop. They prepare them well for starting school.
My daughter started at the nursery in September 2017, she was a little upset at first but settled well. She loves going to nursery and talks about all the lovely things she does. The nursery has lots of fun activities and is a stimulating environment which enhances children’s learning. It is inviting and has a nutritional menu which offers lots of options. I think the nursery is lovely and staff are friendly and welcoming. My daughter very often comes home dirty which in my opinion means she’s had lots of fun learning.
It’s very nice nursery, I strongly recommend to my friends. They understand and cater for individual children needs.

Hello, my name is Katie Smeeton and I joined Children 1st in 2008. I began my childcare journey as an apprentice, where I completed my Level 3 qualification in Childcare. During my training, I gained so much knowledge and understanding of early years education, which shaped my passion for the profession.
I’ve had the opportunity to work across three of our sites, developing my skills and experiences along the way. This journey has led me to my current role as Nursery Manager.
I hold a Level 3 in Childcare, alongside DSL training and First Aid in the Workplace.
I am especially passionate about working with Under 2’s and supporting their early learning and development. I love welcoming new families into the nursery, and as a manager, I’m able to build those important relationships from the very first phone call or visit, starting strong parent partnerships.
I take pride in supporting families and am passionate about maintaining positive, healthy relationships with them throughout their nursery journey.
Hello, my name is Laura Harrison and I began my journey with Children 1st in 2007. I started as a Level 3 Early Years Educator after completing my qualification at college, but it’s throughout my time here that I’ve gained the most valuable experience and knowledge.
Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work in three different nurseries, developing my skills and progressing from Senior to Deputy, and now to my current role as Nursery Manager.
I hold a Level 3 qualification in Childcare, along with DSL and Paediatric First Aid certificates. What I love most about my role is building strong relationships with families, supporting them through those important early stages of nursery life, and watching their children grow in confidence, curiosity, and independence.
I’m passionate about providing high-quality care and creating a warm, welcoming environment where every family’s nursery experience is a positive one.
