My daughter has been at the nursery since the beginning of this year, and she is loving every minute! We feel that she is in great hands with caring, attentive and bright staff who provide fantastic individualised care and with whom our daughter has bonded quickly. The general environment in the nursery is one of fun and learning, with all the various rooms of children engaged in activities which are great for their development and clearly enjoyable for them. The outdoor space is fantastic! The staff are incredibly understanding, personable and responsive, which is a massive relief to parents. It is wonderful to pick up a happy, clean and stimulated child from nursery each day!
They are friendly, keep him engaged and busy, and he’s always excited to go.

They are friendly, keep him engaged and busy, and he’s always excited to go.
The staff are knowledgable about the children and what they need to do, and my little one is progressing so much just from being there regularly.
It’s a great nursery with loads of outdoor space and a lovely homely feel.
We could not ask for a better nursery for our little boy. His communication skills and confidence have come on leaps and bounds since he started here. He loves going and talks about his teachers and friends with so much enthusiasm and joy. I would highly recommend.

My little boy has attended this nursery since he was 8-months-old and is now coming on 4-years-old. The staff are beyond words! They've supported and loved my little boy helping him flourish. I can't thank the amazing team more for all they have done. Although our little boy's journey is coming to...
The building and grounds offer what other nurseries in the area simply can not compete with! Seconds into our initial visit years back, we fell instantly in love with the outside play space, woodland and huge fort, which I could foresee our little boy enjoying with his buddies, and he has! Thank you to each staff member who has supported not only him but myself and my husband throughout this journey.
A fantastic setting for our daughter. She is thriving and loves going; we never have any issues. Good feedback from the staff, and they know each child individually. Great outdoor space which is well used and outdoor play is always encouraged. We would not send her anywhere else

My daughter has been attending this nursery for almost a year; she started when she was one. She loves going to the nursery; drop-off time is always very easy because she enjoys attending so much. Very early on after she started attending, we noticed how quickly she was developing and learning and how much more confident she was becoming. The staff genuinely care for her, and I feel that she is in very safe and capable hands whilst she is at nursery. The facilities and activities put on for the children are excellent, and I feel that she is very well stimulated and encouraged when she is there. She always comes home clean and in a great mood because she has had so much fun! The staff are wonderful, very accommodating, friendly and professional. I would absolutely recommend this nursery to anyone - I think it would be difficult to beat!
I am absolutely delighted that I decided to send my son to Children 1st @ Newark, he has the best time, and I could not have asked for more engaging and caring staff. It’s very reassuring to know that he’s in good hands.

This is the best nursery in the area. Due to moving around in the military, my two boys have been moved around four different nurseries, but this one is outstanding. The garden and the covered outside playrooms are fantastic, with many activities, equipment, toys and hidden gardens to burn off...
This is the best nursery in the area. Due to moving around in the military, my two boys have been moved around four different nurseries, but this one is outstanding. The garden and the covered outside playrooms are fantastic, with many activities, equipment, toys and hidden gardens to burn off their energy. The staff are caring and understand how hard it is to juggle a busy lifestyle and children. They are flexible and try their hardest to accommodate change, which I love.
A great setting for any child, my daughter joined from age 1yrs and it's been the best building block. She is developing so well and enjoys going to nursery every day which is a credit to the staff.

A great setting for any child, my daughter joined from age 1yrs and it's been the best building block. She is developing so well and enjoys going to nursery every day which is a credit to the staff. They adapt with short notice times and help parents as much as possible. Communication is key for a full-time mummy, and Children 1st do that very well.
With two children at the nursery, they both are extremely happy and love going to nursery. They are teaching them fundamental skills in their development but doing it a fun, exciting way. Staff are lovely, and I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent.

From the minute you walk through the door, all staff greet you and the children with a warm welcome. The home-made food smells delicious. The kids look forward to going and walk into each of their classes with the confidence and they both have built great bonds with their key workers. I cannot fault in any way.
The care that my son receives is amazing. He is always happy to attend nursery and I am impressed with his level of learning and the variety of activities that he does.

I am so pleased that my daughter has settled so well at Children 1st Newark. It makes my day easier knowing that she is happy to be at nursery when I drop her off in the morning. I love hearing all about her day when she gets collected and reading the details about her eating and sleeping in the nursery diary. I really do feel like I chose the best environment for my daughter and genuinely can't wait for her to grow up there by moving into different rooms (classes).
The staff have enabled...
The staff have enabled my baby to grow into a young man, his sentences are coming along everyday with the help of the wonderful staff. He is learning something new every day, including how to develop friendships. The outside area is absolutely fantastic and I often have a battle to get my small one off the cars.
I honestly can't recommend this nursery enough, they always have the children at the forefront of everything they do and nothing is too much trouble.
Keep it up guys!

Hello, I’m Sophie Price, Nursery Manager at Children 1st. I first joined the company in 2015 as an apprentice and have loved every step of my journey since.
Over the years, I’ve gained both my Level 3 and Level 4 qualifications through our apprenticeship programme and worked across both nurseries in the Newark area. Each role I’ve taken on has helped me grow, develop new skills, and build lasting relationships with the wonderful children, families, and staff I work alongside.
One of the parts of my role I enjoy most is supporting my team to develop and succeed. Seeing practitioners grow in confidence, children flourish, and families feel truly at home in our setting is what makes this job so rewarding.
I’m passionate about making sure every child has access to high-quality childcare and meaningful early years experiences that set them up for the best possible start in life. I’d love to welcome you into our nursery to show you what makes our community so special.
