The nursery staff and management go above and beyond to ensure a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for the children. They are always professional, approachable, and genuinely care about the well-being and development of each child.
Communication is excellent - we are regularly updated on everything happening throughout the week, and the team is incredibly flexible, always accommodating our needs.
It's clear that the staff take pride in what they do, and their dedication shines through in every interaction. I highly recommend Children 1st to any parent looking for a nursery that truly puts children first.

All the staff are absolutely brilliant, engaging with children and parents too - they genuinely care and also look like they're happy to be at work - not everyone can say that!
When we were thinking about what nursery to send our daughter too, I wanted it to be clean and the outside space to be available to her whenever she wanted! The overall cleanliness of the nursery is brilliant (also not an easy task to keep on top of I'm sure!). Also they have designated outside spaces for each age range and it's perfect! I actually want to spend all day here!
I couldn't be happier with our choice of nursery and I know I have nothing to worry about, when I'm at work and my daughter is at nursery! I've recommended to a few of my friends and their little ones are going too.
My baby is well looked after, happy and fed. He has a lovely bond with the staff and I receive regular updates on his progress and activities. The staff are good.

My little one has come on leaps and bounds. Since starting at nursery, my little one has recently moved from Peter Rabbit to early years. All staff have said how well she has transferred. She has made new friends and has had no issues.

So far we have been really impressed with the nursery. Our little boy loves going and enjoys his time at Nursery. We are always welcomed with the warmest and friendliest faces and I can't fault the key workers that work alongside our little boy. He is thriving and very impressed with all that he does in the day.
This nursery is bursting with professional love and compassion for the children. Staff are kind, thoughtful and champion each child like family. I feel safe as a parent and I see my child flourish and grow in character and personality.

Children 1st @ Derby Road is an amazing nursery. Our daughter has been going there for 6 months. She absolutely loves it. The nursery is so supportive and all the staff are great. They've helped her with potty training and getting her to eat new foods.

I also like that you get to speak to the staff team every day on pickup and they will let you know how little one was doing that day. Additionally we sometimes get pictures sent that the nursery took of him.
They are mindful of his development and help with milestones.
My child happy, developing personally, settled and I have complete trust in the nursery that he's being looked after well each day. His nursery bag is always kept tidy and on a peg with his coat and he knows where to get this from. The outside facilities are fantastic and my son really enjoys the...
Everyone at the nursery is friendly and greet you with a smile.
My son really enjoys his time here! I find the ladies who look after him are very considerate and do a really good job. Everybody in the nursery seems very friendly and helpful. All the activities and food they give to my son really help him come along! I don't have any complaints.

She settled in well and enjoys going always made to feel welcome and...
Overall lovely nursery and staff
All of the staff are friendly, caring, and show a genuine interest in my child. The rooms are always clean and well presented, and filled with amazing toys, books, and other things for the children to interact with.

I can not recommend this nursery enough. Both of my children absolutely love it here and have come on so much since attending. The staff are friendly and do such a fantastic job. I have never had a problem here, but any questions you have they are happy to help.

From the smile and welcome you're greeted with as you walk through the door, each and every staff member goes out of their way to ensure our children are safe, happy, and thrive. Our eldest daughter is more than ready to take on primary school, thanks to your collective efforts. Thank you.

My child has been attending since she was 5 months old. She's learned so much from being at nursery and she is so sad to be leaving when she starts school in September. The staff have been wonderful with her and have supported her with all her transitions and development.
