Children 1st Plumtree Nursery School

Our son has been at this nursery since he was 1 and he is now 4 and in his last year there. The nursery staff have always been great and kept us regularly updated about how he is getting on. He loves his current early years teacher and all the staff in the room, and they have really helped him come out of his shell. He comes home full of stories of the day. The staff have managed the pandemic well with lots of communication throughout. I would highly recommend Children 1st @ Plumtree Day Nursery to anyone.

The team at Children 1st @ Plumtree Day Nursery are brilliant. My child has developed so much as a result of this nursery. He adores the team and always talks about them at home. The learning environment is clean, spacious and bright.

I can’t thank Children 1st @ Plumtree Day Nursery enough for how they helped with settling my child into their nursery. They have also gone above and beyond to cater to his needs, provide the best learning experience for him and make his mornings there as enjoyable as they can be. I know that this is 100% the case from his excitement of going to nursery and sometimes not wanting to come home either! Staff are all lovely and make you feel welcomed and valued as a parent.

Cant recommended the nursery enough! Thanks all for looking after my daughter so well.

My son has attended Children 1st Day Nursery since autumn and loves it. The staff are kind, caring and devoted to their jobs and my son loves his nursery sessions. His days are full of fun, excitement and exploration. We couldn't wish for a better early years experience for him.

This is the best nursery that we have ever had our children in by such a long way. We have moved around over the last few years and as such have used three different nurseries before, all of which were good and we were happy with, but Children 1st @ Plumtree Day Nursery is just in another league. Communication with parents is excellent, the facilities and environment for the children to play and learn in are fantastic and every single member of staff seems to genuinely care about each child. Management are responsive, understanding and knowledgeable.

My little boy started here over a month ago when he was 10 months old. He has adapted so well and absolutely loves his teachers and is smiling whenever I drop him off and pick him up. Communication between nursery and parents is great.

We would definitely recommend Children 1st @ Plumtree (and have done so to many of our friends with children).

We have two children of different ages in this nursery and I can say that it is an excellently run place that looks after the children brilliantly whilst giving them plenty of entertainment and stimulation. They both come back thrilled at the end of the day. Staff are helpful, empathetic and friendly and everything runs smoothly and safely. Would strongly recommend.

I have had two children in attendance to Children 1st @ Plumtree over the last four years and I would not consider sending them anywhere else. The facilities for each room are unbeatable locally, and the dedication of the staff is second to none. The processes they have in place, the communication, the food and the care are exemplary and I truly believe have contributed massively to giving my children the best start in life, and prepared my eldest for school.

Extremely friendly and professional team. The facilities are excellent, including their own kitchen for home-cooked meals. Special mention to some members of staff, the job they've done looking after our son who loves it there.

Children 1st @ Plumtree is absolutely fantastic. My eldest has moved up through three different rooms now and every single lady in all of the rooms have been/are so attentive, welcoming, treat them like their own and are completely honest. My youngest has now started in the baby room and the ladies are so incredibly amazing. They have made such a difficult transition that has been made even harder because of lockdown, much easier. Both my boys love nursery and we are so happy with them being there. The facilities are outstanding and the care and trust are just second to none. Can’t recommend Children 1st @ Plumtree enough. All the staff are always so friendly and caring, you can go to them about anything.

The rooms have all been specifically refurbished, each with designed play areas, space to climb and zones for messy play. The early years/preschool room is amazing with a 'jungle' and 'treehouse'. All food is cooked on-site, and there is a healthy four-week rolling schedule. I have and will continue to recommend this nursery to friends.

My daughter joined Children 1st @ Plumtree when she was 9-months-old and has loved every day since! The staff are so friendly and caring and always willing to help out. Really helpful on the phone, providing updates and making sure I don't miss out on the little moments. Would highly recommend it, their approach to the pandemic situation has been above and beyond, really supportive.

My daughter has been at Children 1st @ Plumtree since she was 10 months old; she has just turned 2 and loves going more than ever! Like all parents, I was nervous about returning to work and leaving my baby with strangers but from her first settling in visit, I knew we'd made the right choice of nursery. It really feels like home. All the staff are fantastic, I can tell that she is cared for and loved just as much as she would be at home. There is a whole range of activities for all the babies and children to do, and they get to spend a lot of time outside. My daughter comes home tired and messy but never bored! I know she is safe and happy and that's all that matters.

He always comes home; having learnt or achieved new skills.

Thank you, everyone.

We couldn't be happier with how she has started off at nursery and will be very happy for her to continue up until she starts school.

Outstanding is a word that is often overused but in the context of Children First Plumtree, this word is insufficient. As a dad, I want to stay and play. An open, honest and transparent management style clearly filters down to the team who offer wonderful educational and pastoral care and warmth to the children. Children's dietary needs and fussy eaters are catered for without problems. The team's kindness and warmth always shines through. But shh...don't tell everyone else - it will become oversubscribed!

Whilst my daughter is a rather picky eater, the team have been great at encouraging her to try new things and persevering.
