Both ladies are brilliant managers, always trying their best to help if you need an extra session on an urgent basis or if you need to change something and each one of the staff members in the baby room is magic! Totally recommend it!
The best nursery in Lincoln! My first son has used this setting and my second son just started 2 months ago. Very Good staff, friendly, everything perfect and extremely organized, no issues at all. I recommend it to everyone.
With a slow and steady pace to my child’s speech, all members of staff have encouraged and brought on my child’s speech so much, they are so praiseful and supportive. Thank you all for your support towards my child.
We find that our child loves his nursery, they all know him by name and he’s so happy to be there. He’s well looked after and we feel they genuinely care about our child. We’re blown away by the facilities and he enjoys all his meals and sleeps really well there - which means he’s happy and relaxed.
I know my son is going to have the best day each time he is at nursery.
My son moved up to early years in April and they have already started to introduce a transition to ensure this is a smooth process for him.
I am very happy with the nursery, my daughter loves it there, the staff are so friendly, there are a lot of toys for the children to play with. Overall I couldn’t have picked a better nursery for my daughter, absolutely amazing.
I was nervous when my maternity ended about leaving my son but I soon realised at Rosemary Lane there was no need to worry. He loves it and is so happy with everything you do and all of the facilities. All of the staff are incredible, always positive, friendly and supportive. I love reading what he has done in the diary and the observations submitted with pictures of his achievements. I can't stress enough how at ease it has made me, it really is a safe and nurturing place. Highly recommend everywhere this is the nursery to be at. Thank you to all the staff who do incredible work.
Can’t fault the nursery. All staff are so friendly and supportive. Our child has allergies so having a nursery who understands this and the effort made is huge. Our child is always happy going and has lots of great things to tell us when they get home.
Couldn't be prouder of this nursery. We went from a nursery that was incapable of looking after my son, who spent 6 out of 7 months being poorly, to us transferring to Rosemary Lane and constant colds and viruses going away instantly. He was speaking almost fluently within a month, counting numbers, singing songs, walking in excited and other than a couple accidents which happen with any kids, he's been poorly twice in almost two years we have now been there. The staff, the girls and the women are incredible. They care for those kids like their own and more. Any issues, they will help and not only walk an extra mile but across the globe to make sure not only the kids are doing well but anxious mommas too. When I first visited the nursery after seeing 6 or 7 others, we instantly fell in love with it and registered straight away. The space they have both indoors and outdoors is brilliant. I couldn't thank this nursery enough.
The best decision I made for my daughter to be part of this nursery and I’m using this medium to say thank you to every team at Children 1st Nursery. My child has really improved in the space of 2 months of joining; improved in spoken words, social interaction and fast learning.
My daughter started Rosemary Lane a few months ago and has already come a long way with her speech and social skills, she really enjoys her time here. I’m always kept well informed about her day and how she’s doing which I really appreciate.
One of the staff members is my daughter's caseworker thing, but honestly she's amazing (as is everyone in general)! We had our daughter's nativity scene today, I didn't expect anything like that to be put on - I'm in a good way floored by the service provided. Thank you so much for the time and effort you've put in with regards to my child.
Our child was at a different nursery previously that we were happy with, but even still Rosemary Lane has far surpassed our previous experience. She settled in really well and loves her time here, often coming home and chatting about her day and what she's learnt.
The staff are fantastic, friendly and helpful, putting a lot of care and attention into life at the nursery - including a well thought out nativity and helpful advice on applying for schools.
Great nursery, my son has made lots of progress with development since starting a couple of years ago. Staff are always friendly and helpful. My son is always happy to be there and has made loads of friends.
Thank you for taking the time to share this review. I’m so pleased to hear how well your little one is getting on at our Rosemary Lane setting.
Children 1st Rosemary Lane is a fantastic nursery. The staff are friendly and helpful and always understanding if issues arise. The facilities are brilliant, with a wide variety of activities to keep the kids happy and involved. Our son is always happy and smiling when it's time to get there!
It’s great to hear about your experience with Children 1st @ Rosemary Lane and how much of a positive one it is! Thank you for sharing this review.
The nursery staff are very friendly and skilled in their work, my child always comes home very happy and sometimes doesn’t even want to come home so soon and wants to stay a bit longer because he has such fun at the nursery with friends and staff.
Dear Vincent, thank you for sharing both your and your little one’s experience with our Rosemary Lane setting. I’m so pleased to hear how much your little one loves coming to nursery, Again, thank you.
My son started at Children 1st at Rosemary Lane at 9 months old. I was so anxious that this was a young age but the staff and management within the baby room have just been incredible; a great support to both him and us as parents. All at Children 1st at Rosemary Lane have been extremely accommodating to my son's dietary needs in the beginning with bottles. He is extremely settled after only a short time of a big change. He loves all of the food choices, is sleeping really well and loving life at Children 1st at Rosemary Lane! Thank you to everyone involved and especially his key worker - you're all fab!
Thank you for taking the time to share this review. I’m so pleased to hear that the staff at the setting have supported both you & your little one throughout his Children 1st journey. I will be passing these comments along to the setting, I’m sure they will be just as pleased as me to hear these fantastic comments about the setting.
He is not a perfect package and I am bound to be biased, but as a retired primary teacher, I recognise a child who will thrive in school. Given the difficulties children face as a result of Covid restrictions, the staff at Rosemary Lane have worked tirelessly to foster emotionally resilient youngsters. They encourage children to talk about their emotions through stories.
My grandson loves books, building, role play and making things. The learning environment is wonderful, as are the professional and friendly staff. A lot of thought and hard work goes into planning child and staff-led learning opportunities. I have a grandson really looking forward to school. What more could you ask for? Thank you!
Dear Catherine, Thank you so much for taking the time to share this heartfelt review. It’s so lovely to hear all the positive things you have to say about our Rosemary Lane setting. I’m so pleased to hear about your grandson's development throughout his Children 1st journey and best of luck to him for September!
My 9 month old started on the 4th of July. I was anxious as he had spent most of his 9 months with me always being there and was quite clingy. But, he absolutely loves it! He's so smiley when he gets there and smiley when I pick him up. I can already see it's helping his development. The staff are incredible, super friendly and welcoming. The range of meals is fantastic, I'm super keen on my son trying everything when it comes to food so I was so impressed to see the menu and to see his food diary at the end of the day. I love that he has a diary to keep me updated on his day and the app is great for allowing me to update his details and development and to see his observations and photos.
Amazing nursery! Amazing staff who put 100% into the children. They are incredible and the compassion and care they give is amazing. Fully trust them with my daughter and feel happy leaving her with them. So pleased we chose this nursery. My daughter loves nursery. The food is amazing, the activities they do are brilliant and my daughter has developed so much here
Thank you for taking the time to share this heartfelt review regarding our Rosemary Lane setting. I’m so pleased to hear about your experience with the setting and to know that all your and your daughter's needs are being met by my colleagues there.

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.
