Children 1st Newark Nursery School

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.

Very pleased with the progress of our daughter at nursery. All the staff are excellent and welcoming. Lots of activities and updates on the progress of her development.

Our daughter loves going there and the staff in the baby toddler room are brilliant.

Our daughter has been there for 2 years now, and our son is to start soon. We would not send our children any where else. The staff are professional, stimulating and encourage development in all areas. A great foundation for our babies!

The quality of care provided at Breedon House has been consistently high throughout the years my daughter has attended. Staff are kind, understanding and go the extra mile. My daughter has been happy in every year group attended as staff continue to nurture, entertain and educate with lots of stimulating and diverse activities.

Brilliant nursery. Caring and professional staff who treat all the children as individuals and encourage them every step of the way.

I will be sad this summer when my youngest child finishes with Children 1st, Breedon House. Both of my girls have been there from baby room to early years.

We moved our son to this nursery in December 2015 following moving house. We loved our old nursery and were sure we wouldn't find one as good, let alone better. We were very wrong. I literally cannot praise and recommend this nursery enough. They have taught our son great manners, skills and experiences, all with an educational slant, but have nurtured his personality and character. They embrace the things the children are interested in, whilst teaching them great skills and instilling routines. The staff and facilities are exceptional and we will be so so sad to leave when my son goes to school in September. Thank you for everything guys, we love you!

My eldest daughter started here when she was 8 months old. She is now 3 1/2 years old and in the pre-school room. She loves nursery and has made some lovely friends along the way. The care she receives is excellent. The staff are always happy to help and let you know about your child's day. The diary feature is a great way to communicate as well as the printed upcoming events we receive. The outdoor area for all ages is amazing and the space is just brilliant. All the rooms are bright and cheerful and are spacious. When I had my second daughter, I straight away put her name down so she got a place. She started at the nursery at 11 months old and is very happy. It is a little bit more expensive than other nurseries but when you see what you get for your money it's totally worth it. Everything is to a very high standard. Monthly invoices by email and an app for your phone to see your child's progress on is a lovely added touch.

The staff at Children 1st are fantastic. They genuinely care for your child and their communication is excellent. On my daughter's first day at nursery, I was given a picture collage of her day. Each day when I collect her, I am given a full run through of what activities she has done, all the food she has eaten and whether she has enjoyed certain things.

Flexible to meet the needs of child/parents and feedback on the day is always appreciated. Caring and friendly environment to stimulate all aspects of development in a positive way. Good range of food/meals also, which we value.
