Review from Emily D (Mother of Child) published on 18 January 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Both of our children have attended Children 1st @ Plumtree and have been very impressed with the care and facilities at the nursery. Our youngest son has been with you just over a year and is thriving, becoming more sociable and chatty all the time! Thank you for all the hard work you do to make it such a lovely place.

Overall Experience
Children 1st @ Plumtree is an exceptional nursery. Their kind and friendly staff are always saying hello to you by name and making you feel welcome at all times.

The diaries are a great idea which gives parents an exact idea of what your child has eaten, how long they have slept etc. I love the Eylog app so I can see pictures of my little girl which really makes me smile and is reassuring that she is enjoying herself!

Our son loves the nursery. There's so much to do. The staff are brilliant and look after him so well. The food is very good and there are plenty of exciting rooms for him to explore as he moves through the nursery.

Overall Experience
It's hard to put into words how amazing this nursery is.
I have two children there and I couldn't be happier with the love, care and education they receive.
Without exception, each member of staff goes above and beyond and genuinely care about the children and their families. Nothing is ever too much for them and they do everything with a smile.
The setting is truly fabulous and the outdoor area is amazing!
My daughter who is now in early years started at 5 months and goes full time - she is exposed to fantastic learning as well as 'Funky Feet' seasons and Tennis lessons - which she loves!
I will never be able to thank the staff enough for all that they do.
The nursery manager runs the nursery with so much passion and attention to detail.

My children are happy, loved and well fed, every single day - what more can you ask for?

Overall Experience
Every single member of staff at this nursery is brilliant! My son has settled in so well and is very happy with all the staff!
There is always a fun activity going on and the facilities are excellent and spotless - with brilliant food!

The diary that the staff fill in daily with nap times, everything they have eaten, nappy changes and their day's activities is such an excellent way for a parent to see what their child has been up to! The staff always take time to tell you about your child's day! I couldn't fault this nursery and I feel like my son is in the best hands! It is miles ahead of the rest! Well done to the manager and team!

Review from Clare K (Mother of Child) published on 17 January 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The children were all very excited for Christmas as children of my daughter's age are much more aware of what Christmas is all about. They were all involved in a great nativity play all having a role, lots of songs and my daughter is still singing the songs from that play now. They did some great art and craft activities for Christmas such as cards, tree decorations, calendars and pictures. They interact very well with each other and know other children's names including surnames. They've been trying Christmas turkey dinners and really getting in the spirit of fun at Christmas.

Overall Experience
I was so anxious about returning to work and leaving my daughter, but I really had nothing to worry about. Since starting nursery in Sept 2017, she has thrived and massively grown in confidence. The carers at Children 1st have been so kind and supportive of all my initial concerns I had in leaving her and she clearly loves going there.

I would highly recommend Children 1st.

Review from Nicola M (Mother of Child) published on 1 June 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has settled so well into nursery. I can see that she loves her time there, she's always happy and smiley when I drop her and pick her up. It's fantastic to see how much she is developing in your care.

We have had a difficult run in illnesses but the care from all the staff has been first class. You really do treat her like your own and I can't tell you enough how comforting this is to my husband and I.

My parents have also commented how lovely, happy and calm the nursery is when they do the pick up for us.

I have already told friends how good Childrens 1st @ Plumtree is and another mum on the estate where we live has sent her little boy to you too!

Big thank you to you all for making our first few months so easy, happy and enjoyable.

Review from Evelyn S (Mother of Child) published on 18 April 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The staff at Children's 1st @ Plumtree are exemplary. They are committed, caring and loving towards every single child.

Our daughter started her journey at Plumtree in August 2016. She was 10 months old and was very attached to both myself and her dad and we were very worried that she wouldn't settle in. Now, 8 months on - our little girl is confident, very chatty and independent. The staff have shown her so much love that she now feels safe when we drop her off. Without the dedication of the staff and effective communication, this would not have been possible. The rooms are broken down into a variety of age ranges so that teaching and care is very age-specific. The facilities are all brand new and of the best quality, with a continuous emphasis on parental involvement through secure access to my daughter's learning with an app; of photos, videos and notes to know what she's up to as it happens. We look forward to continuing our daughter's journey at Children's 1st @ Plumtree.

Children 1st @ Plumtree has a lovely, friendly atmosphere and my daughter and I have been made to feel incredibly welcome. I like the fact that the building is light and airy and has good garden space. There is a good range of activities on offer and she seems to be learning and having fun every day. The staff are great and it's nice to see her interacting with them every day.

Our little one loves going to the nursery to play with his friends and he loves his key carer. The facilities are outstanding and the outdoor space is just the type of environment that will inspire adventurous play all day long. The staff are friendly and always willing to help.

Overall Experience

We are extremely happy with the care that our son receives at Children 1st. The staff are excellent and very supportive, as well as encouraging him to develop and learn in a safe and secure environment. We will be very sad in September when he leaves to go to school as he has been going since he was 7 months only and loves every day he is there. The staff are always on hand at the end of the day to let us know how he has been, and there are a variety of topics for him to engage in which he thoroughly enjoys. Keep up the great work team.

Emma Neale Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2011
Emma Neale

Hello, my name is Emma Neale and I am Nursery Manager at Children 1st @ Plumtree.

I began working for Children 1st in April 2011 and since joining I have had the opportunity to grow and develop myself starting my career as a Nursery Nurse, then becoming a Senior Nursery Nurse and a ‘training and development worker’ progressing to Assistant Nursery Manager, and now Nursery Manager.

My favourite part of the job is seeing how the children learn and grow. I love being part of their nursery lives making sure they get the best start.
