We cannot fault our experience with Main Street. It is a lovely and caring environment and the staff are so approachable and friendly. The children do lovely activities and the progress that it helps them make is fantastic. Our child has thrived at this nursery.

My daughter started Children 1st @ Main Street when she was 8 months old. She has thoroughly enjoyed her first few months here. This has been a source of great relief to me as a mum working full-time. The staff are brilliant and have established great relationships with her. Her day is stimulating...

This is high lighted now having moved away from the area. We have decided to keep him with you despite the considerable travel time for us. He loves going to nursery and we are delighted at how he is learning and enjoying French and funny feet.
With "big school" getting even closer, we feel very grateful to the team at nursery for helping us give our son the very best possible start with his development.

My daughter had built up strong relations with her key workers and loves coming here each day. The facilities are great with a stimulating environment which promotes independence and creativity. My daughter loves the range of toys inside and outside and enjoys all the wide range of meals and snacks given to her.
My experience with the nursery and all staff has been of the very highest standard. I felt at ease with leaving my daughter when she first started. They made her so welcome and the care is outstanding. I am so overwhelmed by how much she loves going and what safe hands she is in.

The nursery has gone over and above my expectations. They take pictures and videos and upload them to the app so I can see what he's been up to and it's lovely to be able to watch his development.
My son has food allergies and the nursery have made it so easy, worry-free and even ordered in food for him.
At end of the day, the staff give you a thorough run through of the day and the daily diary tells you everything from food eaten to bum changes and what play activities or toys he's been playing with. I especially like this.
Another aspect that impressed me was how much effort goes into the children's learning development, I know that my son will get off to a good start as he grows.
I would definitely recommend this nursery.
I have been using this nursery for over 6 years and will continue to use for another 4 (2 kids). Fantastic place the staff are fab and I've never had any issues.

I have been using this nursery for over 6 years and will continue to use for another 4 (2 kids). Fantastic place the staff are fab and I've never had any issues. My eldest loved this nursery and still wishes he could go now and my youngest seems to enjoy himself and never have any issues dropping him off and he's happy to go to his keyworkers with no crying. I can't recommend this nursery and all the staff enough. Lovely people all round xx
I’m so glad I chose this nursery, it was exactly what I was looking for, it's clean, bright and feels like a home from home for my child. The staff are very friendly, welcoming and always happy to help.

When our little boy first started nursery it was a traumatic time for us all as he just did not want to go. Now he LOVES it and often cries when its time to come home. The staff have really helped us in areas where he was struggling and he has come on leaps and bounds in the time he has been there....

The investment in the children is second to none with care that makes you feel your child is encouraged to develop and grow as a small person.
I receive regular online updates of my son’s progress which is encouraging and a great service from the staff, who are fantastic and always provide a service with a smile.
I’d recommend Children’s 1st to any parent.

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”
