Review from Michelle M (Grandmother of Child) published on 13 August 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Fabulous nursery. My grandson has been there for a year now and he has come along so far with his development. No complaints with any staff and all staff are great. One or two staff is absolutely excellent. My grandson loves a few of them although likes all of them. Plenty of things for them to do and the projects they do with the children are brilliant. Highly recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience

My son has attended this nursery for the past two years and he loves it. He has learnt so much whilst there, from eating independently to painting, drawing, counting up to fifteen and knowing his colours. He is such a confident little boy thanks to this nursery. I feel at ease for his next move to school, when the time comes.

Overall Experience

This is an amazing nursery with friendly and helpful staff. We have been using this nursery for the last eight months, and we love all that they do for our daughter. We are confident that she's in safe hands having a great day while we're at work, and love hearing about all the different activities she has been up to every day.

Overall Experience

Kids 1st Wansbeck has been and continues to be the best nursery I have used or visited for my children.

I honestly could not praise all the staff enough for how they have developed my son.

I will be sad when he leaves for school but am excited for my youngest joining here.

Overall Experience

My son loves Kids 1st, he made friends with other children and staff, it's really nice to see his face glow when it's a nursery day. The nursery provides various activities throughout the year, staff are always amazing and very helpful on every occasion. They introduced 'kids home pack' which is just great entertainment on days spent at home. The management of the nursery is very welcoming and friendly. I couldn't have chosen a better place for my son.

Review from Jo T (Mother of Child) published on 31 May 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My little boy has been attending Kids 1st for nearly 2 years now and I cannot recommend the nursery enough.
As a very anxious first-time mother, the staff have put me at ease time after time, and I have always felt at ease that he is in a very safe and secure environment.
The staff are kind, caring, professional and really know the children well. The rooms are clean, well organised and engaging, with well set out activities each day.
My son is happy and thriving.

Thank you.

Overall Experience
My child has been at Kid's 1st for three years and during that time they have provided excellent care. The nursery has really good facilities for developing children and provide so many various development opportunities relating to all aspects of life.

Particularly like the fact the nursery get the children to grow plants etc. and have various animals for them to care for and learn about.

Overall Experience
From a baby through to school ready, the nursery has help guide, develop and support while having fun and laughs at the same time. As working parents, it's invaluable to know that your child is in safe hands and that they are given the opportunity to experience lots of activities they probably wouldn't do at home.

As soon as we walked through the door we knew Kid's 1st was the right place and was 100% the right decision.
