Like most new parents, we were incredibly nervous leaving our baby in the care of complete strangers. It turned out to be one of the best decisions we ever made. Over the past year, we've seen our 1 year old grow into a happy, confident and independent toddler, and the amazing staff at Main Street has played a major part in that. From the amazing team on the front desk, the lovely cleaner and cook and of course the caring and committed team that looked after him day in and day out.
I understand that parents can often hold nurseries to sometimes unrealistic standards, but we have always had full confidence at the teams ability to care and nurture Ronnie. There has never been so much as a raised eye brow towards the teams actions, between curating a fun and learning environment, to looking after him when he falls ill.
Myself, Ella and especially Ronnie will incredibly miss Main Street, and we wish the team all the best in the future.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We're delighted to hear that Ronnie has been so happy during his time at Main Street and that you've felt confident and reassured in the care and support provided by our team.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone at the nursery for the wonderful support and care you have given Eric since he started. He has built such lovely bonds with the staff, which made saying goodbye on Thursday especially difficult for him.
You are a truly wonderful team, and I hope you continue doing what you do, as you are making such a positive difference to the children in your care.
Without meaning to leave anyone out, I would especially like to thank the teachers who formed such a special connection with Eric and whose names I have often heard him mention at home.
Thank you, Miss Hannah, Miss Jess, and Miss Molly, for all the care, kindness and encouragement you have shown him and the many cuddles that he loves the most, also thank you to Miss Jeane, for being his rock and giving him that extra comfort and reassurance whenever he needs it.
Also Mr Brett was one of his fun teachers he was saying, letting him be his friend. Xx

Since my son has started nursery he's settled so well which is a massive relief as this was a worry for us as parent's when first starting that he would be very emotional. The staff have been amazing, comforting him when needed and always greet us with a big smile and lots of enthusiasm. Our son loves going to nursery now and it's so lovely to see all the pictures they post of him having lots of fun. We're very happy with the choice we made in sending him to this nursery.

He's come along so far since he started it 2025 and it's been so helpful being able to see what he's eating during the day - there are always meals we've never thought of at home that he's enjoying at nursery!
I'd recommend Children 1st Main Street to anyone looking for a nursery.

This nursery is amazing! My son's previous nursery closed and I was worried about him joining a new one, but I shouldn't have worried. The girls in the baby room are amazing with him and since joining he has come on so much. They are always welcoming and provide us with an update on the app throughout the day. For anyone considering a nursery then I wouldn't recommend anywhere else. Special thank you to everyone in the baby room for going above and beyond. We can't thank you enough.

The teachers are not only professional, but incredibly kind, patient, and attentive. They genuinely care about every child, and it shows in the way they interact, teach, and support them every single day. My child has grown so much in confidence, independence, and happiness since starting here.
It means everything to us to see our child excited to go in every morning and coming home with a big smile, full of stories about their day. The environment is warm, safe, and nurturing - it truly feels like a second home.
Thank you for your dedication, your love, and the beautiful impact you have on our child's life. We are so lucky to have found you.
He has come on leaps and bounds since being at Children's 1st and they have all been so welcoming and patient when he has come in upset as I think he did find it strange to start with.

He has come on leaps and bounds since being at Children's 1st and they have all been so welcoming and patient when he has come in upset as I think he did find it strange to start with.
He loves it now and has made lots of new friends and loves everyone who works there.

My son has been attending for about 5 months now & I am very happy I chose this nursery. The staff are amazing, friendly & caring. I've seen a massive leap with my sons social & emotional development. I can see how happy he is playing & talking to staff. He was really shy and now he is so confident around new adults. I think thats because of the relationships he has built with the staff. The rooms are very clean & well equiped with lovely wooden toys. I am confident my son is looked after, happy & growing here!
Thank you for your kind words. Its wonderful to hear how much confidence your son has gained and how happy he is at nursery. The team at Children 1st @ Main Street work hard to provide a caring and engaging environment, and were delighted to know this has made such a positive impact. Thanks so much for sharing your experience, well make sure to share with the team. Regional Marketing Executive
Our child started nursery back in Feb 2025, since then he has come on leaps and bounds developmentally and has really taken to all staff members. He's so happy to attend each day and every time I pick him up I know by the look of his face how much he has enjoyed it. More observations would be great!

My little one has been going to this nursery for over a year and I couldn't recommend enough. The nursery itself is lovely, especially since the re-fit. The staff, especially in the early years have made our journey so much easier. The care they show and effort with the children is amazing. The effort and time that's recently gone into the Christmas activities especially the nativity has certainly been recognised. Thank you all at Children 1st @ Main street for everything you have done to support my little one.
I feel all the staff take a firm interest in our daughters development, we feel she has progressed really well. Really like the updates, gives peace of mind and do not feel the need to ask lots of questions.

We have been sending our little boy since beginning of September. As our first baby, our 'miracle' baby, we were very hesitant about sending him to a nursery however we must return to work at some point! From the first ever look around the nursery, we felt as though this is the one for us! We...
Although we get crocodile tears when we leave him the staff are so friendly it is very comforting to know they genuinely care about the children.
Every member of staff we have come across are very friendly and welcoming! The manager is always on site and very approachable. Communications have been fantastic!
I would highly recommend this nursery!
I've been so happy to see how my daughter is settling here, she seems alot more comfortable than her previous nursery. I think it helps how lovely all the staff are and the upgraded play areas.

I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough having used this nursery for 4 children over 13 years. I feel confident that my children are cared for safely and that they are nurtured in the best way for them. All staff have been friendly and welcoming and always helped to offer reassurance when...
The new refurbishment brings the nursery up to date and creates the ideal environment for children to play in a safe and stimulating way. Further to this the large garden offers them the perfect opportunity to explore and build their gross motor skills.
I can’t thank the staff enough for always being so attentive to my and my children’s needs. Outstanding.

My name is Kate Horsley, and I am the Derby Road Nursery Manager. I have worked for the company for just over 29 years. I started in 1995 when I joined as a trainee nursery nurse. Over the years, I completed my NVQ level 3 and then went on to do senior, deputy and management training. I am also the Nursery SENCO.
I have worked in several other Children's 1st Nurseries and have been set many challenges and given many opportunities to develop myself, constantly learning new things along the way.
As well as working full-time and running a thriving nursery, I am also a full-time mum to 3 young children. Amelia is 18, Alfie is 14, and Arthur is 10 years old. All of my children attend a Children's 1st Nursery and Out of School setting and love their time in them. I leave them feeling confident that the care they will get is as good as what I can provide for them.
I have only ever worked for Children 1st after joining when I left School. There has never been a reason for me to look elsewhere. I have always been more than satisfied with my own professional development and very happy in my job. I look forward to growing further within Children 1st and learning new skills which will help my team and me “Lead the Way & Shape the Future”
