Children 1st Newark Nursery School

He particularly enjoys being outside and the nursery garden is excellent to facilitate this.

My son recently started here at Children 1st @ Newark and I've been amazed at how well the staff have supported him with settling in. They take each child's development individually. The staff are so friendly and supportive, I come away feeling as though he has had a unique experience every day. The outdoor space is amazing, I love the approach of getting them outside every day in the fresh air. Brilliant staff and brilliant experience for children.

I would highly recommend this nursery. The staff are really caring and I always feel my daughter is in safe hands.

My son has settled really well in his placement here. The staff are all caring and welcoming. The environment is well resourced, always clean and tidy. I would recommend using the nursery to anyone with children at this age, I am more than happy with the level of care and access to activities my son has. Keep up the good work.

From the very first time we set foot in this nursery, we knew we wanted our little girl (baby at the time) to attend. As an only child she has come on in leaps and bounds and relates so easily to other children. All the staff are absolutely wonderful and are so involved with everything that happens in the nursery from day to day. For such a big nursery, we feel we have a very personal experience. Thank you so much.

Great communication on admin, would like more newsletters and communication of activities.

My daughter has been at Children 1st for just over 5 months. To say she enjoys it there is an understatement. Her speech has improved, she eats well and most importantly, I know she is in good hands. The staff are all fantastic, really helpful and friendly. I would definitely recommend this nursery to anyone looking for the best nursery around. The nursery itself is beautiful both indoors and out.

The staff in the baby and toddler room always welcome my son with open arms and a friendly and caring manner and he is always happy to go to them. When we go to collect him he doesn't want to leave and will run around showing us all the things he likes. The staff all appear to know him well and what his likes and dislikes are (e.g if he is grumpy on drop off they know to get a car or show him the birds out the window).

The facilities are great with a huge garden area which I look forward to him using when he is a bit bigger.

In terms of development, my son has come on leaps and bounds since joining and I feel that the nursery has really helped with that. I would recommend this nursery to anyone.

A mass amount of staff have left, all good staff. And all senior staff. My child struggled with it. What’s going on with staff at this nursery?

My daughter started at Children 1st at Breedon House in September 2017 when she was 6 months old. I was very nervous about her going to nursery so young, but we have not looked back! She wriggles with excitement when she gets out of the car on her nursery days and is always just as happy at the end of the day. The staff are always warm and friendly and my daughter has a good bond with her key worker and the other staff in the baby room. My daughter is being encouraged and supported in her development and the staff are receptive to helping my husband and me in enforcing our daily routines as much as possible at the nursery.

My kids love coming here with friendly staff.

Absolutely fantastic staff who really care for both our children equally - they are new to the nursery and have been really made to feel welcome and settled in well. Their outdoor facilities are second to none and my children love the activities they put on for them as there is always something different to do!

Both of my children have been to Breedon House and have been really happy and settled there. My oldest is now at school but loves popping back to get her sister and seeing all the team and they are always happy to see her too.

The staff are lovely, caring and friendly and always have a lot of time to tell you what your child has been up to and share in their achievements. I feel like they have got to know my children and their personalities.

My son has just started at the nursery here and so far really happy with everything. The staff are lovely, friendly and my son seems to have taken a shine to all of them already, which makes going back to work a lot easier. The facilities are really good and varied. And I can see as he gets older there will be plenty for him to do and learn. The outside space is such a plus as not many nurseries in the area have this, and they have really put the outside area to good use. The food is really healthy and again a good variety for him. Super happy with this nursery and would definitely recommend it. They have made what could be a stressful time for all of us, a lot easier!

I spent a long time looking around nurseries when I moved over here. Children 1st @ Newark was the last one I viewed. Had it have been the first it would have saved me a lot of time! The staff are all so friendly and welcoming. There is always a senior member of staff on site. The facilities are very good and the outside area is amazing. My daughter settled in straight away and regularly asks if she is going to nursery on a day when she doesn’t normally attend. The manager her team have been very accommodating when I have needed to book in extra sessions which has been extremely helpful. All staff have been amazing in assisting me potty train my daughter. It is an on-going event but we’re getting there! I would definitely recommend Children 1st @ Newark to anyone.

My daughter has settled quickly at Nursery, and enjoyed the last 8 months attending. She is always excited to go, and has lots of stories to tell us at the end of the day about her ‘busy day with her friends’. The concerns I had about her not settling for naps, or not enjoying the meals, were completely put at ease by the staff and were not a problem! Her learning and development has been brilliant at Nursery. Would certainly recommend!

Highly recommend!

My little girl has been attending Children 1st @ Newark (Breedon House) since she was 9 months old and the staff have been brilliant at settling her in. Its great how the staff do a thorough run through every evening of what they have done/eaten/how many times been changed etc through the day.

Well, what can I say? This has to be the best nursery I have ever been to. Having 2 kids and a teacher myself I have never seen such an amazing environment for children to learn in. Everything is stimulating and inviting so much so my son is so excited to join in. The staff have all been fantastic in every room - so caring and fun. The transitions between rooms have been smooth and seamless. The food always smells amazing and they have catered to my sons dairy allergy so well. I cannot recommend this nursery enough.

A fabulous nursery setting which has been second home to my son for over 2 years now. The staff are supportive and accommodating to every need of the child and parents. When I leave him in a morning he is happy and engages with the staff and other children from the first minute, my only problem is getting him to come home at night. I can't really blame him, I would happily stay and play, the garden in particular, is full of interesting equipment and activities. They have given him a superb foundation on which I can only hope school will now continue to build on.
