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 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.

This facility has provided a great stepping stone to education for our 2-year-old. From the time she arrives, everything is a joyous occasion and delivers an excellent service. It's like home from home due to the amazing staff.

We know she loves it here. The daily journal is filled promptly and the food/menu is varied and balanced. The play area is gorgeous and our older daughter did a couple of days here during the school holidays at their holiday club and she enjoyed it.

Don't let the fact it's on a main road put you off there's parking round the back and that's how your child enters too so there not near any busy traffic
This is an excellent environment for children to learn, play and grow.

This is an excellent environment for children to learn, play and grow.
I have had one child go through every room, starting as a baby and now at school with my second child starting that journey now.
The staff & management are hard working, the structure that Children's First put into the day is very good, the environment is secure and the facilities have recently gone from adequate to world class as a result of the recent refurbishment (90% completed at the time of writing, just the garden to finish).
Additionally, they have managed to be flexible enough for us to chop and change nursery/pre-school days as shifts and working patterns change which is essential to us.
I have custody of my grandsons, the youngest has been at Children 1st nursery for nearly two years now, I can honestly say I've never had any problems at all. The staff are all fantastic and the building is going to be amazing once all the work has been completed!

We like this nursery. They have very friendly, kind, professional and helpful staff and my child feels loved and safe there. It's also important for us as a family.

The care given by the wonderful staff and management team along with the encouragement to learn and discover, has been second to none.
We are very happy and as parents, we are always at ease when our daughter attends her nursery.
Nothing is too much trouble for the staff, whether it be calling up to check that she is alright to changing hours around and sorting queries, to having chats with the dedicated staff about all kinds of things.
Importantly we know our daughter is cared for.
The refurbishment looks absolutely fantastic. The staff have done a wonderful job coordinating this project ensuring minimum distribution to the children.
My child has loved his time at Children 1st @ Monks Road so far. When he first started going, it was the first time he’d been away from home without a family member so I was extremely nervous (more so than him!) but the staff at Children 1st @ Monks Road made me feel confident that he would have a...
He has grown in confidence and plays with other children so nicely now. I am extremely happy with the service we receive and I love the nursery and all of the ladies that work there.

There is a great communication between the nursery and parents and if ever a problem occurred I know it would be well dealt with.
They are undergoing a revamp and the nursery is going to look incredible once it’s done, which will allow much more space for the children, as well as bigger room for them to improve and develop.
Lovely staff, my daughter loves it, looks so much better now they are doing the nursery up. I would recommend this nursery to anyone.

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.
