The only area I feel could be improved is the app system. Once children move into early years, updates become very limited, so I no longer get much insight into what she's been doing during the day. As a result, I've found myself using the app less.
Aside from that, I'm really pleased with the nursery and the care they provide.
Lovely and welcoming staff that tailor the day to suit your baby. Adapting to your baby every need and timings. The staff are so friendly and ensure baby is settled and happy. They send regular updates and are on hand to adapt the day around baby needs. From some days having no naps to other days needing 2! I would definitely recommend this nursery.
The whole staff team are incredible. They are caring, supportive and truly go above and beyond for the children every day. The communication with parents is great through the app, it's so reassuring knowing our children are in such a safe, happy and nurturing environment.
Our baby has settled in very quickly and already loves going to nursery. She has formed a wonderful bond with Miss Nic and we know she is in safe hands. Our baby absolutely adores her!
Our older child is in the Peter Rabbits room with Miss Abi, who is talked about all the time at home. It's clear how much the staff genuinely care about the children and how much effort they put into making every day fun and engaging.
Finally, thanks to Miss Charlotte who is always a kind and friendly face, she makes families feel welcomed and valued!
Thank you Children 1st!
We're incredibly grateful for the warmth, patience, and dedication Nic has shown. Thank you!
My daughter has always struggled going into nursery but she really enjoys it. Her confidence has grown through the years and the team know her well. She always talks about how much she loves the staff and her friends. I feel comfortable leaving her with the team and know I can contact them and they will contact me if needed. My daughter will be really sad when she leaves nursery for school.
My child has thrived at this nursery, where her social, emotional, and physical needs are consistently supported. She has formed strong bonds with both staff and other children and is always happy and excited to attend. We particularly value the wide range of extracurricular activities, especially the weekly ballet sessions. Her communication and language skills have flourished through the focus on stories and songs-at just two years old, she confidently tells me all about her day. As a full-time working parent, it was essential to find a setting that reflects our own morals and expectations, and the strong relationships we've built with staff provide real reassurance. The inclusive, regularly reviewed menu supports her dietary needs and introduces her to new foods. The all-weather outdoor provision is another fantastic feature.
We couldn't rate Childrens 1st Plumtree enough, every member of staff is so lovely, professional and fantastic with our Daughter and it shows they know the children based on how they interact and handover at the beginning and end of the day. They are also super supportive of the parents when it can seem scary first leaving your child there, they have all been so fantastic. They do lots of fun, interactive and different things with the kids and our Daughter always has lots to tell us about her time there, along with telling us about her friends too! We couldn't recommend them enough.
I highly recommend our nursery, my girls started at 9 months and settled in quickly. As a parent I was reassured by the calm and caring nature of the staff. The environment is so inviting and exciting and I'm always amazed by the standard of the food that they have at lunch time. The girls come back telling me about the books they've read and the exciting activities they've done. I'm so pleased we chose Children's first at Plumtree and look forward to watching the girls continue to flourish in their care.
My daughter, Sienna, absolutely loves nursery and has settled in amazingly well since starting. From the very beginning, the team made her feel so welcome, safe and happy, which made the transition so much easier for us as parents.
She has built such a special bond with her keyworker, Ellie, who truly goes above and beyond every single day. It's so reassuring to see how comfortable and happy Sienna is with her. She also adores all the staff in her room - they are all incredible with her and genuinely care about each child.
Since starting at Plumtree, Sienna has come along so much. Her confidence has grown beautifully, and she walks in every morning with the biggest smile on her face. Seeing her so excited to go in each day says everything about the nurturing and positive environment the team have created.
Thank you to everyone at Plumtree for everything you do - you are all amazing!
Such a fantastic nursery! The staff are warm, supportive and genuinely caring. Our child loves his days there and is always excited to go in. It's such a comfort knowing he's being looked after by people who truly care. We've had a really positive experience and would definitely recommend.
Staff are friendly. Professional and can't do enough for the children. The facilities and activities undertaken appear to be engaging for children as well as being fun. We would recommend the nursery to others. We are excited to see how the future rooms.
My daughter loves her nursery days, she has been doing since she was 1 and settled in really well and has enjoyed it since. Every session she goes to is different and she always comes home full of excitement about what activities she has done. They've also been a great support through potty training. I would recommend the Plumtree nursery to anybody looking for a fab and friendly environment for their child.
I couldn't recommend this nursery more.
Thanks for everything you do for my boy.

Children 1st Plumtree have taken great care of my child ever since they started over 18 months ago. The staff are always happy to help and have great relationships with the children. Parents are kept up to date with photos of activities, and the nursery team put a lot of effort into coming up with different things for the children to learn and do. My child loves going.
Our daughter has attended Children 1st Plumtree since she was 10 months old and loves going each day which is due to the caring staff. They do lots of arts and crafts and she loves playing in the amazing outdoor play facilities. I would recommend this nursery to family and friends.
trickier times. It's a very special place and we couldn't recommend it enough!
I cannot recommend Children's 1st at plumtree enough. My little boy transferred from Children's first at bilbourgh as we moved house and I have been so impressed with not only how they supported the transition but the nursery overall! My son has complex allergies and they have managed this amazingly making sure he's never left out all while keeping him safe there has not been a single exposure to his allergens which is so reassuring! The staff are all wonderful and the management are very hands on, they communicate well and will call to let you know if something is not quite right with my little one but don't expect you to pick them up for minor things! Overall it's a wonderful environment and would recommend them to anyone!
We were initially hesitant about our daughter attending a nursery, however after attending an open day at Children 1st our minds were instantly changed. The setting is wonderful, the children have so much space (including outdoors) in all the different rooms with lots of things they can play with and spark their learning. It is clear to see that the children, and their needs, are at the forefront of the nurseries mind. All of the management team are very helpful and the level of communication we receive from the app is excellent. Our daughter is currently in Jemima Puddleducks and has settled in so well - better than we could have ever hoped for! All of the staff in the baby room are truly brilliant and we know our daughter is in safe hands. The variation of food offered is excellent and it's all cooked on site, fresh that day. Overall, we couldn't have wished for a better nursery and we highly recommend it to everyone!
We've had a really great experience with this nursery.
It's clear the setting is truly focused on the children and their needs. The staff are friendly, enthusiastic, and easy to talk to - nothing ever feels like too much trouble.
The nursery is always evolving, regularly introducing new ideas, activities, and ways of learning to keep things engaging. There's so much thought put into the children's development, and it's lovely to see how well supported they are. The menu is varied and well balanced, and our girls really enjoy the meals.
The staff genuinely care about the children as individuals. Mornings are always warm and welcoming, and it's clear our girls have had great fun when we collect them.
The management team really understand the needs of working parents and maintain a personal, caring approach. Communication is excellent and reassuring. Pricing feels fair and reasonable for the quality of care.
Our girls couldn't be happier here - we would highly recommend this place.
We have had an excellent experience with the early years team. They transitioned our child to nursery very smoothly, especially miss nic and Ellie who are wonderful with the babies. There's a lot of attention on varying the activities and engaging the kids in all sorts of things.
Thank you for sharing this review. Its great to hear that the transition into nursery went so smoothly and that Miss Nic and Ellie have helped your little one feel settled. Were pleased the variety of activities is making a positive difference too. Well be sure to share your comments with the team.
