The quality of the staff is very high, the nursery is always clean and my boys are really enjoying the nursery. I really love the app where I can check their development.
The staff are lovely and are good with the children.

My son was aged 6.5 months at the time he started nursery at Children 1st @ Sheffield. The nursery, despite being a large nursery, has a family feel about it. It is a very welcoming environment for the children and families alike. My son settled into the nursery fantastically which is down to the care and patience of the staff at the nursery. He has benefitted from the interaction with other children on a social level, whilst at the same time, engaged in play to help with his development. He also loves the home cooked food. I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery.
My two eldest children attended this nursery from 6 months to starting school so when I was expecting my third child five years later, I didn't hesitate with my decision and was amazed to find that the manager even recognised my voice over the phone. When I went to visit, it was so reassuring to...
The range of activities is extensive and the food is excellent, staff are all friendly and welcoming and the decor and facilities are lovely.
Professional, caring, sensitive to needs of the child. Absolutely lovely care for my child, above and beyond my expectations. Staff really enjoy their role and my child is really happy. I have complete peace of mind.

I am impressed and reassured by the staff, environment and food at this nursery. My 1-year-old daughter is happy and settled. I get plenty of feedback and observations about what she has been up to.

I think the Children's 1st staff have been taking a good care of my daughter since she was 8 months old. She fell into the good eating habits and also learnt how to speak politely. The nursery focuses on the mental development of the children via different activities like colouring, painting, messy...
I am very happy with the nursery and I would recommend it to my friends.
Both of my children attended this nursery from six months. I have a five year age gap between my children and it was a relief to see the same staff when my second child began attending. The baby facility is just like home, the care and provision is first class- every day. The staff are...
The care is outstanding and it so reassuring to know that the children are thriving and enjoying their own day.

Both my husband and I spent a lot of time researching a nursery for our daughter and decided on Children 1st @ Sheffield. We are in total agreement Children 1st @ Sheffield was the right choice as our daughter has progressed emotionally, physically and socially since starting here and we are so proud of the little lady she is becoming.
Our daughter started nursery at an early age due to work commitments and we were concerned that she was too young to attend a nursery however the staff were and have continued to be very supportive not only of our daughter but to ourselves. All the staff are very friendly and attentive to every child and parents and strive to help the children grow mentally and physically.
Words do not really justify how pleased we are with Children 1st @ Sheffield and we will continue to recommend to everyone we know.
I am so happy that we picked this nursery for our baby. The staff are all extremely friendly and my baby is completely infatuated with his key worker!

I am so happy that we picked this nursery for our baby. The staff are all extremely friendly and my baby is completely infatuated with his key worker! It makes me feel so much less guilty going to work when I know how much he is enjoying himself. I love all the updates we get from the eyLog app - it's wonderful being at work and seeing a video of him having fun. There is also a lot of detail about his day written in his diary, and always a nice chat about how he's been when we go to pick him up. They are extremely good at taking extra care when he has been poorly. The room always looks clean, well cared for, and with so much fun stuff to do. Some of the ideas for different sensory experiences are really clever. I have already recommended this nursery to friends and will continue to do so.

After a bad experience with another nursery, I moved my daughter to Children 1st. From the first settling visit, it has been amazing and now, 14 months on, my shy daughter who barely talked is a confident girl who is now above average with her speech. Routines are in place and stuck to so she always knows her plan for the day. Funky feet (an in-house extra activity) is the highlight of her week. You are always greeted with a smile and all the staff genuinely love and care for her like she's a family member. I can't recommend enough.
Staff are very friendly and supportive, especially when my daughter is a little tearful and not wanting me to leave, and so gives me great peace of mind knowing she is in very good hands. Since starting at Breedon House, my daughter has come on in leaps and bounds, she has really come out of her...
Staff are very friendly and supportive, especially when my daughter is a little tearful and not wanting me to leave, and so gives me great peace of mind knowing she is in very good hands. Since starting at Breedon House, my daughter has come on in leaps and bounds, she has really come out of her shell and is so much more confident. She is learning so much, all thanks to the amazing staff. Cannot praise them enough for all that they do for the children.
My daughter started nursery in December 2014, since then she has become a more sociable and confident child. The staff are continually supportive to both me and my daughter. They are welcoming, patient and encouraging. I would not hesitate to recommend Breedon House to friends and family. There are...
A big thank you to everyone for giving me support and peace of mind, knowing my daughter is happy and well looked after and safe.

Preparation for school and graduation process etc.
My son has been coming here for 4 months now and the change in him has been brilliant. He is happy, confident and outgoing and his teachers do a great job in looking after him and teaching him new things.I wouldn't send him anywhere else!

The grounds at Breedon House are wonderful and the girls get the most from them.
We love this nursery and can't imagine sending our children anywhere else - all the staff are fantastic, caring, engaging. Both children are thriving at nursery and really enjoy their time there. The facilities are excellent, as is the attention to detail and the variety of activities on offer.

My Name is Deborah Thorne and I am the Early Years Nursery Manager for Children 1st @ Sheffield.
I have been working with children since the age of 16. I qualified as a Nursery Nurse in 1993 gaining my N.N.E.B Diploma in Nursery Nursing.
I then worked as a nanny for almost 2 years having sole charge of two boys Edward and Thomas who are now 19 and 21.
I started work for Children 1st Day Nurseries in May 1996 when they purchased the nursery that I was currently working in. I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to grow with the Nursery right from day one and have gained a vast amount of experience. I have worked my way up from Nursery Nurse opening the baby unit, to Room Leader then to Deputy Manager and finally on to Nursery Manager in 2000. I have worked with all ages of children and enjoy the challenges that working with different aged children bring but I especially love the Early Years age group and this has been my area of specialism for a number of years.
While I have been with Children 1st I have managed the Newark Nursery for 6 months working with the team and the new Nursery Manager to build up occupancy levels. I then managed St Peters and St Paul Nursery for 2 1/2 years which I really enjoyed as this took me out of my comfort zone and I grew in confidence and was able to develop my own skills. I then came back to the Sheffield Nursery (home) in May 2009 were I have resumed my role as Nursery Manager for the Peter Rabbits and Early Years.
Through my role as Nursery Manager I have worked with diverse cultures and families with different needs and expectations, this has given me the tools to enable me to meet their different needs and make a real difference to children's lives, one of my passions is to be able to offer high quality childcare for ALL children regardless of their status.
My role as Nursery Manager also enables me to work with children with Special Education Needs (SEN) and become a linchpin with families and other members of my Nursery Team, giving our children the best start to their nursery education regardless of their abilities or needs.
I have also built a strong team who I work very closely with and feel I am a good role model to all staff members. I am a qualified NVQ Assessor and gained my Level 4 in Childcare and Education, I enjoy this very much and hope to continue to support all the trainee Nursery Nurses that train with us.
I became a Nursery Manager by chance as I had no desire to become one, I was more than happy being a Nursery Nurse and enjoyed the role as key worker to my children but through a passion for my work and the investment of Margaret I was encouraged to move up the ladder. I enjoy the challenges that being a Nursery Manager brings and feel that over the last 15 years that I have worked for Children 1st Day Nurseries I have gained so much and been able to give so much back.
I believe in the ethos of Children 1st Day Nurseries and am fully committed to our mission statement of: ‘Leading the way, shaping the future’ and providing high quality day care and education, my role as a Nursery Manager enables me to ensure that the children who use our setting are receiving the very best and I can ensure the quality is there all of the time this is why I have stayed with Children 1st Day Nurseries and will continue to stay until I am old and grey (if you let me)
I like lots of things about Children 1st Day Nurseries - the dedication to our small babies that we insist on, the quality environments, the sleeping outside in proper prams, the play experiences that the teams offer, the drive and passion of our teams and the on going commitment that we have to achieving the best that we can be.
I always feel proud when I attend outside training events as I know that out provision is up there with the best.
I hope I inspire other Nursery Nurses to be passionate and proud of the work that we do, and encourage new families to make that brave first step of bringing their children to nursery for the first time to start the education of their children.
