The nursery setup is brilliant, and they go the extra mile every day to keep the kids entertained with new games or messy play stations which my baby absolutely love it

Fabulous nursery! Staff are all incredibly friendly and personable, you can tell they all care deeply about all of the children. Communication is easy, and replies are prompt if anything is needed. The nursery feels incredibly safe for the children, especially with their systems in place for entering the building. The meals are healthy and nutritious and my daughter loves them, communication on what she's eaten is given every day she is in which is helpful. The children do lots of educational activities and lots of outdoor playing equipment, the staff update you and let you know on the app what your child has been doing that day along with photos (which you can opt out of if you didn't want photos taken of your child). My daughter absolutely loves going to nursery and I couldn't have asked for a better nursery for her!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We're delighted to hear how happy your daughter is with us and that you feel so confident in the care and support she receives.

The care, love and attention that Rosemary Lane has given to both of my children has been second to none.
They have supported one of my children from being a tiny baby right through to him now starting school, and we honestly couldn't be happier with the person he has grown into. They have prepared him so well for school, and he is now such a confident, happy little boy with an amazing amount of knowledge. We truly feel that the foundations Rosemary Lane has given him have provided him with such a fantastic head start as he begins school.
Our other child, who is two, absolutely adores going to nursery too. He greets everyone with so much excitement and affection and genuinely loves all of the staff at Rosemary Lane. It is so lovely to see the special bonds and relationships they build with the children, and it really shows how much care and love goes into everything they do.
I really couldn't recommend Rosemary Lane highly enough!

We're only new to the nursery but day one was made so much easier with the ability to just message to check up on him along with the pictures that put my mind at ease. The staff really seemed to care and want the best and tried to help him settle in so Thank you

I would definitely recommend this nursery! My daughter have been coming since January and she's only 2 and her speech is amazing! I couldn't recommend this nursery enough and the support with her potty training she's now out of nappy's!

We had a bad experience with a previous nursery and I was extremely worried about sending my little boy to another one. As soon as we met the staff and looked round children's 1st we knew we would love to send our little boy there. Any requests/questions or queries we've had have been answered and nothing is too much trouble. I love getting little updates throughout the day and being able to check how my little one is getting on brings so much comfort. I can't thank the staff enough for helping me to regain the trust that was broken by the previous place

The staff have played a huge role in this progress. They are caring, attentive, and truly dedicated to supporting each child's individual needs. I couldn't be happier with the nursery and the impact it has had on my child's growth and happiness.
My daughter started at this nursery from 7 months old, from the moment she started we realised we chose the right place for her! All staff have been amazing, especially her current key worker/Senco. Thank you so much for all your hard work.

My son started in September last year I was really nervous about him not settling in but fast forward to now he is absolutely thriving he goes in with a smile on his face and comes out smiling, the staff there are so lovely I can't thank them enough. His speech has improved so much because of them. The staff communicate with me all the time and focus on my son's needs. Absolutely recommend this nursery to other parents.
Nothing is ever too much trouble and the communication from the team to parents is better than at my son's primary school!

I've lost count at the amount of times I've recommended this nursery to friends, colleagues and strangers!
Thank you for all you do in helping our little ones learn and grow in a safe and clean environment.
Nursery, staff & facilities are great, our daughter has been here since she was about 10 months old (now 2.5 years old). She enjoys every day, they have lots of different activities, most recently they have been hatching and raising chicks, teaching the toddlers about them and letting them...
There is a big garden area for the 2+ year olds and seperate smaller balcony gardens for under 2's so they all get as much outdoor time as weather permits, but the nursary also has wet suits so they also sometimes take them out in the wet!
On the admin side, the staff are always very helpful with answering questions, supporting additional days, and being understanding when I've ran late a couple of times (just make sure to call them so they know!).
There's a few parking spaces for drop off/pickup, only issue is there are no markings so parents sometimes do not park in the most optimum way, but there is a public car park opposite (free for 10 min).
Overall great, highly recommended!
Thank you for your lovely review. Were so pleased to hear how much your daughter enjoys her time with us and the range of activities available, especially our recent chick experience. Its great to know you feel supported by both our nursery and admin teams. Thank you for your kind recommendation.

And have already secured a place for his sister.
The staff are always polite and up beat when dropping my son of. It really does make a big difference on his mood when coming to nursery. The snap shots I receive are also lovely to see each day. Couldn't fault the nursery in any way.

Hello, I’m Louisa, the Nursery Manager at Rosemary Lane. I’ve worked in Early Years for over 20 years, and my journey began as a newly qualified practitioner after completing my training at Lincoln College. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of developing my career within Children 1st, and for more than a decade now, I’ve proudly led the wonderful team here at Rosemary Lane.
One of the things I love most about our nursery is the sense of community we’ve created and our fantastic outdoor space — a real hidden gem for an inner-city setting. It’s a joy to welcome new families, showing them around and sharing the exciting experiences we offer the children every day.
I’m incredibly proud of my team; they’re passionate, nurturing, and committed to providing a safe, stimulating environment where children can thrive. I’d be delighted to show you around our nursery and talk about how we can support your child on their early years journey.
