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.
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.
Such an amazing nursery! Always so helpfull and accomadating to parents. Since my son has started over a year ago, all the staff have been so kind and and welcoming to my child. My som is always greeted by lots of smiling faces which helps him to get settled in first thing in the morning. They have also helped massively with his speech and confidence!
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.
My daughter settled quite well in bobtails. She loves going to nursery, there a lovely bunch of people. I would definitely recommend if you're looking for a nursery. She's been coming for 2-3 months now.
they do so many different activities with my baby he loves going and has so much fun.
the nursery is great for his development and hes become so much more social and his speech is doing so well
My daughter started at this nursery in October, she was quite shy when she first started but they have been patient with her and she has now come out of her shell. She loves the meals they have at nursery, they have a variety of different food each day. Overall she is very happy at this nursery and enjoys going each time!
Every member of staff is warm, welcoming, and unbelievably friendly. One of our children has health issues, and the nursery has gone above and beyond by putting a detailed care plan in place. The team are knowledgeable about his needs, fully trained in first aid, and incredibly competent. It gives me complete peace of mind knowing he is in such capable hands and I feel completely at ease leaving him there, confident that staff will notice any symptoms and contact me accordingly.
Over time, the staff have come to feel like family. Our eldest has now moved all the way through the nursery, yet still greets the staff with the same affection and familiarity which speaks volumes about the bonds they build. The children are not just cared for; they are genuinely loved.
I could not recommend this nursery highly enough.
Would recommend to all!
My son absolutely loves attending this nursery, all staff are warm and welcoming and the environment is full of enrichment. It is clear the staff know my son's individual needs and personality and cater to this accordingly. His days are full of activities to help him develop and learn alongside healthy, varied meals. It is clear from how he sprints in to greet the staff in the morning that he feels comfortable and bonded with all of them. I feel comfortable and secure sending my boy here.
We cannot express how much we would recommend this nursery. My little boy has been with me constantly up until the age of two and a half with a few days been looked after by my sister whilst I returned to work for a short while before having his sister, he was only ever used to me and her. He started Nursery a little nervous and apprehensive but after a few sessions he was so excited to go back. He goes two days a week and all we hear at home is how he is so excited to see certain members of staff, how he can't wait to give them big hugs. This was such a relief to know he is so content with people he has known for a short while and he loves to tell us what they've been up to. He was already such a good speaker but we are noticing such an improvement on things he's learning whilst at nursery. We honestly wouldn't want him anywhere else.
It took my granddaughter a little while to settle into nursery, but the staff have been so patient with her, reassuring her at all times. She now loves going, is eating her meals, socialising with staff and other children. She's come along way in just a couple of months. Super happy Nannie!!
Any issues staff have always been very helpful, and always happy to help. My daughter loves the variety of meals and never comes home hungry!
As two full time working parents there are often times we need additional childcare and the nursery always do their best to accommodate our request, even if the are very last minute!
The app that nursery use is excellent!! It allows you to keep up to date with how your little one's day is going in real time. What yummy meals they have had and how much they have eaten, how much sleep they have had and when, what fun activities they have done throughout the day.
My little girl loves going to nursery she's always happy being dropped off and when I pick her up she's full of smiles and looks like she's had a great day of playtime and fun.
Since starting my child in this nursery from December 2025 I have felt really at ease from the start with the communication from the staff. The handovers and updates on the app they give each day for my son are excellent. They really listened to me on my settling in days and my son is absolutely thriving at nursery. It has improved his social skills, he is eating much better and he comes home learning new skills such as singing nursery rhymes to showing me his makaton signs every week! Couldn't recommend Children's 1st Rosemary Lane enough. The nursery is lovely and I am excited for him to progress through the rooms until he is ready for school.
The environment is clean, organised, and full of activities that help children learn and develop. I really appreciate how the staff communicate with parents and keep us informed about our child's day and progress.
My daughter enjoys going to nursery and comes home happy, which means a lot to us as parents. I am very grateful for the dedication and hard work of all the staff. I would highly recommend this nursery to other parents.

Meet the Team (1)
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.
