Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son previously attended First Place Nursery and we were very happy with our experience, therefore we didn't think twice about starting our daughter there recently. I think it has actually improved since we were last with them; the settling in process was so seamless, all the staff have been so caring
and warm and the level of communication and updates they give on your child are amazing! So pleased to be back and grateful my daughter is in such good care there.

First Place Nurseries in Radlett is exceptional in every way.
Every single staff member across the board creates the most loving, nurturing, kind, warm, supportive environment. When our daughter joined the nursery, as first time parents we were naturally apprehensive, but the care and love shown towards
her from the very first day, immediately put our minds at ease.
Communication with parents is efficient and thorough. We have a clear understanding of how she is progressing and how they continue to challenge her to reach new goals.
No ask is too big or small, from supporting our approach to toilet training to the attentiveness and professionalism around allergies and medication to challenging her to develop physical confidence in the playground.
They always go the extra mile and we couldn't be more delighted we signed up early enough for our second child to join soon. We are beyond grateful to every single member of staff for all the energy, enthusiasm and care they give daily.

Two of my children have attended First Place Nursery in Radlett and had wonderful experiences. The teachers are so welcoming, understanding and warm and truly put the children first. I couldn't have asked for a better start for my children and I will be sending my youngest son to join the nursery next
year. Highly recommend!

A truly top class nursery, I really appreciate and realise how good a nursery this is in terms of standards, quality, communication when comparing to a previous nursery our oldest attended (which actually we were very happy with). I now realise why families book so far in advance to send their toddlers
to First Place. Very grateful our two year old has started here.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We couldn't be happier with First Place. From our first visit, the staff made us feel welcome and reassured. Everyone is warm, approachable, and professional, and it's clear how much care they put into creating a safe and positive environment.
Our daughter settled in quicker than we expected, which
gave us real peace of mind. The nursery strikes a great balance between structured activities and free play, giving children plenty of opportunities to explore, learn, and enjoy themselves. We've seen a big difference in her confidence and social skills, and it's lovely to see her building relationships with both staff and other children.
Communication is also excellent. We're kept informed about what our daughter has been doing each day, and it's always nice to see the activities she's enjoyed or the milestones she's reached.
Overall, it has been a really positive experience and we would happily recommend First Place.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son joined First Place nursery just before his 1st birthday. As first time parents, we were anxious and apprehensive about dropping him off and leaving him somewhere for such a long period of time without us.
The teachers and management team at the nursery could not have done any more to make
our experience a great one. From providing frequent updates on how our son was getting on, to sharing photos and information about what he got up to during the day, to how he was eating and sleeping and his general wellbeing, we were kept so well informed that it really eased our minds.
We always feel that our son is in safe hands and we know that the reason he has settled in so well is due to the incredible support from the whole nursery.
The teachers are always so friendly and smiling and our sons development has been clear to see - the activities are so creative and enjoyable too. This all has made returning to work so much easier and we are so grateful to everyone at First Place.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
First Place Radlett has been great and our son is absolutely thriving there. The nursery itself is lovely and the children have a lot of space, including outdoor areas, a library, a sports hall and their own areas for class. The little ones also have their own nap room too. The staff are kind, loving
and supportive- our son loves them and they clearly care about all the children there. We really enjoy the fact that there's always different activities for the children to get involved in every day- whether it's building a fort with a parachute, or engaging in messy play (that I don't have to clean up!). The food menu is good too, with different options every day and allergies/dietaries catered for. The staff look after our son amazingly and I feel at ease knowing he is being cared for in a wonderful environment. Thank you First Place Radlett!

Our daughter started at 1.5 years old and has moved from the baby room all the way up to her 3rd class soon and the standard of care has been amazing since the start! Staff have been amazing with us as parents too from helping drop her off at the start all the way to potty training her recently :)

We are absolutely delighted with the nursery. Our daughter has made remarkable progress-not only in her learning, but also in her manners and growing independence. She has developed wonderful friendships and looks forward with excitement each morning to seeing her friends and teachers. The staff are
exceptional; their dedication and genuine care for the children are evident in everything they do. Communication is consistently excellent, ensuring we always feel well-informed about daily activities and the wider nursery life. Having moved houses, our children have experienced several excellent nurseries across North London, but First Place stands out as the most impressive by far. We could not recommend it more highly.

My two grandchildren have been attending First Place for a while now. They have great fun and enjoy their time at nursery every day. The staff are amazing and so welcoming and the children go running in and can't wait to start the day. They are learning so much and are so confident in new situations
now.

First Place Nursery is like a second home for my 1 and 2-year-old children! The staff are just awesome, so warm and caring. It's not just a nursery; it's a nurturing environment where my kids have thrived emotionally and developmentally. The teachers create a great mix of learning and play that keeps
my kids excited every day. My wife and I love how they keep us in the loop with updates, making it feel like a team effort. Honestly, I can't imagine a better place for my kids to spend their days. Five stars all the way!

Extremely well run and organised nursery. Staff are superb, all of them are well trained and attentive. Our son joined during the lockdown, and we were naturally apprehensive about starting a new nursery. However, we need not have worried. He has been very happy at First Place, and indeed, so have all
his classmates. Can't recommend it highly enough. Thank you, First Place Nursery Radlett.

My child has flourished at nursery, her self confidence has grown, her speech has improved she has made some lovely friends and can't wait to go in the morning, skipping towards the gate. They cater to each individual child's needs making learning fun and giving her an environment where she feels encouraged
and safe. I believe First Place played a big part in my child getting into our chosen school.

We have changed to this nursery in August 2020 and it seems it has been the best decision we have made for our children. Our daughter became more responsible and organized, started tidying up. We are very pleased with the improvement in her behaviour and vocabulary. Our son also started part-time initially
and now is on a full-time program, he is very pleased with the activities he does at the nursery. Every morning he takes my hand and shows me the door (he is 1 year old). I like being informed daily about their schedule and the things they learn. The staff is supportive, they show interest in teaching the children and care about their happiness.
Definitely recommend the nursery to my relatives and friends!

My Granddaughter has been coming to the nursery for a couple of weeks now and I can already see a huge improvement in her. She is very excited when she arrives at the nursery and the staff always acknowledge her when she walks in. The nursery has amazing facilities including a very large outdoor area,
which she loves as she loves being outside.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.809)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.809) out of 10 for First Place Nursery Radlett is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.934 for First Place Nursery Radlett is calculated as follows: ( (156 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 167 Ratings = 4.934
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.875 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for First Place Nursery Radlett is based on 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 80 number of registered child places is 16. 14 Positive Reviews ÷ 16 = 0.875
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
