Couldn't have asked for a better setting for our little boy. Being a handful, they manage him with great care and he is really becoming an amazing little boy.
The staff are fantastic. They genuinely care for the children, their learning and welfare.
I can't express enough how great Children 1st at
Main Street, Long Eaton is.

I am very happy with the level of care my son receives at Children 1st @ Main Street. He has been attending since he was 8 1/2 months old and I believe the passionate and dedicated staff team that have worked closely with my son, have helped him to become the clever, kind and happy little boy he is.
Thank you to all the team!

Never have had the pleasure of leaving a child with such wonderful people. You can't help but feel like your part of the family at Main Street. It's so personal as you feel like the staff know your child so well and as it shows, no matter how individual they are or what requirement's they have. All
the rooms are clean, organised and well presented. I like to say a personal thank you for being so great with my daughter and really supporting with her eating. You're all amazing.

Having looked at several different nurseries for our little girl, we both immediately felt that Main Street was the one for us. The managers and team are fantastic and my little girl loves going to nursery so much. I have never once been worried to leave her even when she's not feeling 100% as I know
she will be well looked after. She has made some great friends and looks forward to going. I recommend Main Street to everyone I know who is looking for a local nursery!

The service provided by all staff is fantastic!
My daughter loves going to see her "teacher" and tells me all about the time they spend together, be it drawing, writing or baking cakes.
I feel that my daughter is very well looked after and know she has gained so much confidence since attending.
The
staff are all fantastic, very approachable and all make my daughter smile and feel safe!


Thank you Main Street. You're all wonderful.

I can't rate this nursery highly enough. I feel totally at ease leaving my daughter in their care. My daughter is now 3 and has been attending Main Street since she was around 10 months old. She has come on leaps and bounds since being at nursery and I feel this is down to the care and attention she
receives whilst there. She always comes homes saying she has had a really good day and is always talking about her key workers. The nursery setting is modern, clean and welcoming and the staff are all really friendly. The food is great too - my daughter only seems to eat well when she's at nursery!

Children 1st @ Main Street is a fabulous well-rounded nursery. My daughter has been attending for almost two years and has moved through each of the rooms (baby, toddler and now preschool). Every single member of staff and the trainees have been welcoming, friendly and supportive of her and us as parents.
The manager is accommodating and supportive at all times. The environment is bright and varied. My daughter eats all of her food and the outdoor area is large but safely enclosed. I fully recommend this nursery to anyone who asks.

Both our boys have attended this nursery and have really loved going. Being there for 2 days a week has really brought both of them on in terms of confidence, speech and various other things. The staff are professional and friendly and always go the extra mile. We don't have a bad word to say and feel
our children have really benefited from being brought up in this excellent learning environment.

After being reluctant to send my child to a nursery in the first place, I now believe sending her to Children 1st is the best decision we've made as parents so far. The staff are friendly, kind and genuinely pleased to see my daughter when she comes through their doors. They aid her development at every
turn and she loves every moment she spends there. I cannot speak highly enough of the nursery and the staff.

The manager is easily approachable and any questions or worries are resolved immediately.
I'm thankful for everything they have done for my son and will continue to recommend them to family and friends.

My daughter who is now 12 went to a different branch of the children's 1st Nursery and she received outstanding care from all staff and excellent educational support which has benefited her enormously. So when I found out I was having another baby and that I would need child care for when I returned
to work I did not think twice about contacting the nursery. I was so happy to see staff that had looked after my daughter still working for them as this shows they good to work for as they retain staff.


I also like that they are a training facility and all the staff are trained or working towards qualifications, showing they invest in staff. My 3-month-old son has been looked after by the nursery for 4 weeks now and he is so happy, they care for him as I would giving lots of cuddles, he is stimulated and is reaching milestones early. Because it is such a good facility I have not been too distressed in returning to work and leaving him.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have two children at the setting and have experienced every room from the Baby Room right through to Early Years. They have all been excellent! The staff are clearly a close-knit team who put the care of the children first. They are always friendly, approachable and willing to go the extra mile
to make sure that the children (and parents!) are happy. My oldest daughter loves the wow activities - she has been involved in creating a papier mache plane to Rio to celebrate the Olympics and a milk bottle iglo (which had to be seen to be believed!) for Winter! The food is excellent; they even persuade my picky eater to eat her vegetables - apparently they taste different at nursery! As parents we love the 'EY Log' which is a private and secure online account where the staff can share photos and videos of what your child is doing at nursery - it brightens up our day when we get a little green elephant notification ping up and we can see what they have been up to! Highly recommended!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We loved this nursery and knew it was 'the one' after visiting five others in the area, instantly. The Manager was so informative and put us at ease straight away. The atmosphere of the nursery is so unique. It is a home from home, friendly, yet professional place where I feel my child is 100% safe.
The Manager runs a tight ship and is amazing at her job and it shows throughout the happy staff. I couldn't have asked for a better keyworker for our son. She is so talented with the children and has such an amazing relationship with him. He has developed far beyond my expectations because of her, with the help of the other staff. I cant express the positive impact this nursery has had on our son's life and development enough. It is the best money I have ever spent. Eternally thankful.

Our daughter seems really happy at the nursery and has an excellent relationship with the staff. The managers are friendly and helpful. The nursery is small enough to have a real personal touch. The facilities always seem very clean. My daughter seems to enjoy the different activities, which are very
varied.

The best nursery we had chance to use. Always flexible, friendly and understanding. Every child's diary is completed every day without fail. It provides important, detailed information. The nursery staff treat the children very personally and adjust to all their needs. Highly recommended.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.853)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.853) out of 10 for Children 1st Main Street Nursery School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.881 for Children 1st Main Street Nursery School is calculated as follows: ( (149 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 168 Ratings = 4.881
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.972 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Children 1st Main Street Nursery School is based on 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 72 number of registered child places is 14.4. 14 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.4 = 0.972
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
