Children 1st Rosemary Lane Nursery School

I was so nervous sending our first child to nursery after a year at home (also during the peak of Covid!). I couldn't have hoped for better support than we received from Children 1st @ Rosemary Lane Day Nursery. The staff are wonderful, genuinely passionate and my daughter loves them (lots of mentions at home!). If anything has ever been a worry, the staff have listened and worked with us. Honestly very, very happy and appreciate everyone very much. Thank you!

Thank you, Children 1st @ Rosemary Lane!

Best nursery in the area.

10/10 nursery!

My daughter loves going to nursery.

On top of this, the nursery staff have gone out of their way to work with us on flexibility when needing to add days last minute. Cannot recommend this nursery highly enough!

Myself and my partner were both very nervous about leaving our son for the first time due to returning back to work. He is at the beginning of his journey with Children 1st Rosemary Lane (baby room) and instantly we were both put at ease and knew the care he receives is next to none. There are different activities everyday and watching him progress and develop through the help of the staff is amazing. Couldn’t recommend this nursery enough! Amazing work.

Staff are always very friendly and approachable and make my children feel welcomed and involved. The play area (especially outside) is welcoming and fun, with a wide range of activities to keep the little ones engaged. I enjoy reading updates about what my child has been learning and doing - communication is very good.

My wife and I cannot express how grateful we are to the staff at Children 1st @ Rosemary Lane, especially the ladies in the Jemima/Bobtail room. Our daughter is now full-time and returned just after lockdown and as you can imagine, the worry and anxiety both myself and my wife felt at this scary time and that our daughter had never been without myself or my wife, so how she would cope/settle was also a big worry. Well, 3 months later and what can I say? She is so confident and happy at the nursery. Her bond with all the staff is great and the bond with her key worker is like she is now part of our family and we are so overwhelmed by this and how much she has developed so far. We are truly grateful and can't thank the nursery enough.

Many activities, kind nurses. My child always smiling when I take her. She told me that played many games, was very funny day. My child gets healthy snacks and she loves it. Kindergarten in good location.

I would recommend Rosemary Lane nursery to anyone. The staff took my girls in during lockdown in March when their other nursery closed, and we decided to stay permanently because they take such brilliant care of the children. We really feel that the staff love our girls, and see their unique personalities and nurture their gifts and interests. They seem to strike the balance between caring for and teaching, and that’s a hard thing to do. The fact that our girls settled in so quickly is a testament to the staff and their attitudes. Not only have they been brilliant with our children, but they have been brilliant with us as well! It was traumatic having to move the girls to a nursery we knew nothing about, and the staff graciously answered our 1001 questions to make us feel happy to leave the girls in their care. You won’t find a better place to send your children.

I was really worried about returning to work and putting my little girl in nursery at nine months old but I honestly couldn't praise this nursery enough. The staff are all so friendly and helpful and you can tell they really do love what they do and all the children they look after. My girl is always happy to leave me at the gate. I'm always informed of how her days have gone and received a daily diary of what she's eaten, what's she's been up to, how much she's had to drink and how long and when she's slept. The food menu is on a four-week rotation and of a good variety. The activities and experiences throughout the day without a doubt have brought my girls' development on leaps and bounds in such a short space of time and she thoroughly enjoys her time there.

My son have just started at this nursery and so far I feel assured that my baby (almost 6 months) is safe and happy. I believe the interaction he gets at nursery will be beneficial to him socially and developmentally. The staff are very friendly and accommodative.

I was so nervous leaving my three-month-old at Nursery, it felt far too soon but the nursery from day one have been so polite, friendly and reassuring. They have also always been very prompt in answering any queries I may have had. During the COVID-19 pandemic, they have been very professional following all guidelines and wearing face coverings which has been reassuring. I know for certain that being at this nursery will help my son’s development to blossom and they have so much to offer for him. I definitely chose the right nursery for my little bundle of joy.

My little boys love it at this nursery. The staff are very engaging and he always comes home having had a great day. The facilities are excellent. The meals that are served are varied and nutritious. The staff are extremely friendly and approachable. I would not send my little boy to any other nursery now he has been here. Keep up the great work guys.

Both of my sons have attended this nursery and I can not fault them. I walk for miles to get them here as I feel strongly that it is the best nursery in Lincoln and I want them to be happy, educated and treated well. The staff put in a lot of effort to meet every child's needs as well as giving them the attention they need to ensure they have a strong bond. The nursery itself is brilliant, it has had a lot of work done on it and looks amazing, there's always plenty for your child to do and a big space to do so. It's beautiful and has been done to a high standard. My opinion of this nursery is very high, I recommend them all the time and I really do think they are amazing.

My boys are so happy in Nursery. They come home singing nursery rhymes they’ve learnt during the day.

They have settled in really well after lockdown and are used to the new regime.

I would have no problem recommending the Nursery to anyone interested in sending their child to a Nursery.

Everything that is taught at home is followed on by the Nursery during the day.

Our girls joined the nursery at 11 months and settled in really quickly. They always have a great time and the staff are really invested in their welfare and development. The food is great and they always eat good meals, I am often jealous when I hear what they have been eating. We would highly recommend Children 1st @ Rosemary Lane.

Our 19-month-old son has been attending the nursery for 3 months now. The staff were so lovely and caring whilst he was settling in. I was worried about leaving him with strangers and him not getting the cuddles and attention he is used to at home but the staff were great and they took the time to give him one on one attention and cuddles when he needed it. Now we can see how much he enjoys coming to nursery and seeing the staff and it's a big weight from our minds whilst we go to work. He's becoming much more sociable with other children since starting nursery and he's developing really well with the careful guidance and encouragement of the staff. The facilities are outstanding, our son can't wait to make use of the fantastic outdoor play area when he moves to the downstairs rooms. It's also great to know that he is eating healthy home-cooked food which is catered to his vegetarian diet - I just wish I knew how the staff get him to eat it all!

I am very happy with the kind services this lovely nursery provides to my children. I have already recommended to many of my friends.
