Children 1st Derby Road Nursery School

My kids have made best friends here and progressed to school with their friends and always look forward to nursery days.

Staff are all extremely friendly and up to date with the day to day activities of my child. Everyone is very approachable and have assisted me with any queries or concerns I may have had. My child's development progresses on a daily basis with noticeable changes in vocabulary and social skills. Very happy with communication that I receive either via email, text or via the app.

My daughter started in January when she was a little over 12 months old. She has come on so much since starting nursery and is learning so much. Shes making lots of new friends and really loves the staff there. All the ladies are so nice and wonderful. Would recommend this nursery to anyone. I'm actually sad that one day she'll have to leave.

3 - When accidents happen ensure that they are recorded. I've had to ensure that incident records are completed etc.

The nursery is a lovely friendly and safe environment, my child is extremely happy to attend and always happy when I collect her, the nursery has helped hugely with potty training my child and she talks about the staff a lot at home!

I would highly recommend this nursery.

Amazing! My little one goes full time and she loves it. Never wants to leave! Will definitely be staying for next few years. Never have to worry about little one's well being. The food menu is great. Big variety of meals and it must be delicious as it's aways all eaten :)

He has a dairy allergy which has never phased them and the meals provided are varied and nutritious. My son would not nap in a cot so the staff happily rocked him to sleep in a pram until he was able to lie down and settle on a mat with the other children. I'm very happy with the nursery and the care he gets.

We've always been delighted with this nursery, right from the first visit. Over the last four years they've cared for our two children. The oldest is now with them for wrap around care, and the youngest is still enjoying daycare. We have never had any cause for concern and if I had to choose a nursery for my children again I would always choose this one.

Both of my children have been to or are at this nursery. My 15-month-old little boy has recently moved up to the next room after being in the baby room since he was 9 months old. All of the staff are so friendly and welcoming. Even the Ines you don't see on a day to day basis always greet you with a genuine smile and a hello. I love the set out of the nursery and all the activities that they do with the children. The daily journals are always completed and the app with the pictures and milestones are fantastic and really make me feel like I have a real good understanding of what he is doing every day and all the new things he is learning. I would absolutely recommend this nursery to anyone! My little boy loves it and so do I :-)

My son is a different boy since starting at this nursery. He had always been a bit behind his peers with his speech but has improved so much in his short time here. It's quite incredible! The whole team appear to have done a fantastic job, not just developing his speech and language, but also with his confidence. He loves it here and is sad when it's weekend/half term etc. Even when we moved from the area I chose to keep my son here and travel each day, as he was doing so well. highly recommended nursery.

Can check what your child has been up to at nursery using the nursery's app.

Nothing is too much trouble for them if they can help then they will.

I would definitely recommend Children's 1st @ Derby Road to anyone. The staff are extremely friendly and professional. My daughter loves attending and with different activities every day she never gets bored and enjoys the amount of time she gets to play outside. The food is healthy, tasty with varied menus. Overall a 5* Nursery

As a 1st time parent, I was extra picky with my daughter's nursery but the manager and her team at children 1st @ Derby Road made me feel I would be happy to leave my child in their care as soon as I walked through the door. In the couple of weeks that my daughter has been there, she's loved every moment and it shows when she's at home. I would highly recommend the manager and her team to anyone I know.

Absolutely fantastic nursery, wouldn't think twice about going anywhere else. Super friendly staff and great facilities! My son has learnt so much since starting nursery which is worth every single penny!

when I wanted my son to start a nursery I had a few viewings booked at 3 nurseries around me my first viewing was at Children 1st @ Derby Road, straight away I knew this was the right nursery for him and didn't bother viewing the others. I felt so welcomed and at ease from the beginning. My then 2 and a half year old felt so comfortable with the staff and happily went off to play while I spoke to the manager who is absolutely lovely along with every member of staff! Everyone has a smile on their face and are always upbeat and happy. My little boy has such a good relationship with the staff, they are all excellent at their job and I know he's in excellent hands with all of them, they have helped him progress so much in his speech and his letters and writing his name and so much more. I choose to keep him at this nursery instead of sending him to a school nursery because I'm so happy with how the nursery is run and I'll be so sad when he leaves to start big school!

I am very pleased with how my son has come on since attending Children's 1st nursery. The staff are really lovely and I feel reassured that he is safe and being looked after well and feel happy about leaving him there.

I highly recommend. :)

We are very pleased that we chose this nursery for our child she loves attending there and is developing well which is lovely to see. The staff are extremely helpful and supportive and are very friendly and approachable.
