My little boy started at the nursery at 7 months old in the baby room and he is now 3 years old. From being a worried mum dropping him off on his first day until now, he has been in the best care whilst I've gone back to work. He has grown so much, developing so many skills and such confidence. He has built strong relationships with staff and has made good friends in his rooms. The staff and manager are understanding and supportive and you can voice any concerns. It's nice to share key updates and what my little boy is learning and focusing on. My little boy walks (more like runs) in happy going into nursery and it's the best feeling to be able to leave your child in a nursery, where you feel they are going to be truly looked after and have the best time.
Children 1st @ Rosemary Lane is truly, a fantastic nursery all around, their communication is faultless, the safety and procedures in place for everyone’s well-being, are superb, every single member of staff you may come in contact with, is polite, and professional, and always willing to help...
The handovers from both those responsible for a child to staff, and vice versa, are thorough. The individual diaries also reiterate this.
The nursery itself is always clean, fresh, and well-maintained, not to mention how very spacious it is, with directions matched accordingly.
If you are struggling to find a nursery that can make you feel reassured, and at ease, whether this is your first time having to make the (what feels like the most terrifying) decision or not, honestly look no further.
My now 2-year-old daughter has been attending this nursery since November 2022, and as a first-time parent, I can’t comprehend how grateful I am for everyone and everything here.
My child is so happy in this nursery setting. Can’t fault anyone there but there are 3 main members of staff who are fantastic with my little boy and wouldn’t want anyone else to look after him whilst I’m otherwise busy.

Both my children have attended this nursery and have always been so happy and well looked after. The staff are lovely and helpful and both my girls love them, my eldest likes to come and pick her little sister up when she can just so she can say hi to the staff!

Everyone at Children 1st Rosemary Lane is brilliant, supportive and seems to enjoy what they do. My 6 month old, exclusively breastfed was refused by a childminder just after two sessions and it was a huge blow. It gave me serious concerns over whether my boy would ever settle in a childcare...
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.

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.

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.
