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.
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!

My little girl has been attending Rosemary Lane Nursery School for 2 months and goes once a week, now 8 months I have seen such a big improvement in her since she started nursery. The staff are fantastic and are super helpful! As a first time mum I have had a million questions and they have always...
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.
Very good with communication, well maintained nursery always doing what's best for the children. The food provided is always a mixture so it's not always the same options which is really good for the children. Always meet the child's needs too

He always goes in happily and is clearly very comfortable there, which says everything. The team have created such a lovely, nurturing environment and you can tell they really take the time to get to know each child as an individual.
It's such a comforting feeling knowing your child is somewhere they feel safe, happy and well cared for. We're really grateful to the whole team for everything they do.
A lovely nursery who pay alot of attention to the children's development. I especially love the messy play, fresh air area, and the different foods they get to try. My 11 month old daughter seems very happy there. Thank you, it helped relieve my initial anxiety by seeing the warmth there xx

Due to moving house, this is the third nursery my son has attended. He loves it! He has come on leaps and bounds since starting here! Communication is great, he eats well and I feel he is properly looked after and given a lot of attention.

The nursery really makes the most of the space they have, and they really make the most of the outside play area.
He always used to be quite weary around other children, but since being here he is getting a lot more comfortable and plays with other children. I really recommend the nursery.
A professional and welcoming nursery environment, with a huge variety of activities for children to explore. The spaces have been thoughtfully created to make the nursery fun and inviting, as well as cosy and safe feeling.

The handovers are clear and give all the information we would need, and the staff in the Puddleducks room are a credit to the nursery!!
Our daughter thoroughly enjoys her time at nursery, a lot of time she doesn't want to leave!
Thank you

All of the staff are friendly and caring. Our children have formed some wonderful relationships with the staff and children during their time with the nursery.
There are always lots of fun and educational activities happening so that the children are kept engaged while learning.

My daughter was very shy to start with but soon came out her shell and she absolutely loved all the staff in Peter rabbits and always said miss leah was her favourite!
Massive thank you to all the staff at this nursery you have all been absolutely amazing.

My daughter has been very shy and very less social since she is born, initially I was very much worried dropping her off here and was sure that I will receive a call as she has never been away from me. But surprisingly quite opposite happened. Since day 1 she has loved this nursery and is developing very much affiliation with the staff members. They all are very lovely and caring and words cant justify how beautifully they take care of children. I totally love this nursery and I will always choose this one. So many activities and lovely setup, she loves the environment and even on her off days, she is insisting on coming here. Very much happy and stress free whenever she is at the nursery, and she is also very happy and learning quite a lot.

Our daughter has been with Rosemary Lane since 9 months and couldn't thank a better nursery and team that have helped the development and growth for her. Her confidence and social skills are amazing and I don't recall a time she has never not wanted to go to nursery. She is always excited and smiling when arriving and leaving. The staff are amazing keeping us updated of her daily routine, any events and challenges.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're so happy to hear that your daughter has thrived with us since she was 9 months old. It's wonderful to know she's always excited and smiling when coming and going-that's exactly what we love to see!

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.
