Kids 1st Bowesfield

What an angel she is, she is part of our family now. She takes so much care with my son (as do the other girls in Starfish 2), he's developed beyond belief. He loves playing outside in the garden which is just for his room. The toys and activities are age appropriate of course and the meals are all homemade on site. My son was cows milk intolerant when he started there so they adapted all of his meals for him. We love Kids 1st!

The staff at Kids 1st Bowesfield have been amazing! They made the whole (scary) process easy and I have complete trust of their care. The activities and food offered are exceptional. My son's confidence is fantastic. My husband and I are so grateful of the amazing work of my son's carers. We totally recommend Kids 1st Bowesfield to anyone who asks!

My daughter absolutely loves the nursery - the staff at Bowesfield are brilliant and engaging. She loves her key member of staff who treats her as though she is her own. The resources they have are fantastic and gives her a well rounded experience, improving her development at each stage. We will be sending our second daughter there too next year. Cant recommend them highly enough.

My son joined Kids 1st in January 2016. His transition has been fantastic, couldn't have asked for better. Made me feel at ease, supported and understood. Helped adapt his strict routine to nursery life. The staff formed strong bonds with my son quickly and he loves going. Excellent all round for me, wouldn't go anywhere else.

well-being of each and every child. The nursery nurses actively teach and chart the progress of each child and take the time to discuss any special needs that the parents need to work on to help in their development.

After my daughter had attended a handful of day nurseries and childminders, I'd given up hope that she would settle anywhere! She settled within days with the help of the amazing staff and has come on with her learning and development fantastically. The staff always make you feel welcome and show how much they care about each individual child. Not in a trained way but as if they genuinely do care. I have never encountered an issue but know they would strive to solve it. Overall it is an outstanding nursery, even so much so my daughter will be staying for the pre-school.

I can't tell you how wonderful this nursery is. My son is in starfish one and the ladies that work there care for him like he is a member of their family. In particular two ladies are so lovely to my son. Kids 1st is not a particularly cheap nursery but in my opinion is worth every penny. I would (and often do) recommend this nursery.

My daughter is in Puffin class at Kids 1st Bowesfield. She was made to feel at home as soon as she joined and the staff provide an outstanding level of care. The facilities and attention to detail are excellent and every aspect of her development is supported. I would have no hesitation in recommending this nursery to other parents. Although not inexpensive I feel they provide fantastic value for money.

The nursery itself is light, airy and welcoming. All staff have been fantastic, they are caring, professional and knowledgeable. My child loves nursery and I am very pleased with the care and attention she receives there.

The staff are wonderful with my daughter, she's so happy playing and learning inside and outside in the lovely garden. She loves socialising with the other children in the Kids 1st nursery. It's a safe and happy environment which makes it easier for me to go to work knowing she's having fun. When I come to pick her up the staff run through what she's been doing throughout the day. I would recommend Kids 1st to everyone!

It's like buying a house. All about the feeling & difficult to put into words. Streets ahead of others we looked at. On pregnant & 2nd viewing of the baby room I burst into tears. This overwhelming feeling of attention, care and love for the babies in their care. Leaving a 4 month old in full time care is hard, but the staff, without exception, make you feel at ease. Caring for the Mammy & Daddy as much as the child.

So creative with toys & games. Lots of outside play. Light, bright & airy building. The children know the staff from older rooms, cleaner, cook, everyone says hello. The way the children run to staff and fling their arms round them shows how safe and settled they feel. The food is healthy and imaginative, it puts us to shame. Regular updates & gorgeous photos in their development files. The work put into the development of our child is astounding.

I absolutely cannot speak too highly of the staff and the pristine building of Kids 1st Bowesfield. Our Nursery Family.

Kids 1st is without doubt an 'Outstanding' nursery. My little boy started when he was 13 months old and to begin with he didn't settle well due to the fact he had only been cared for by myself and his Dad. The staff at Kids 1st did everything they could to make this transition as stress free as possible for both my little boy and myself. Due to the fantastic care and lots of cuddles, he settled well and now almost a year on he absolutely loves it! One of his first words was his key worker's name which certainly gave me the confidence that my little boy was in good hands. The girls in both the rooms my son has been in really know him well and always seem pleased to see him. He loves the fantastic resources that are offer and the purpose built building has a fantastic outside area which he enjoys in all weathers. The safeguarding at Kids 1st is fantastic and I know that every time I leave my son he is safe and cared for by the best.

Brilliant staff and facilities in the Baby Room. My daughter has really enjoyed her time at this nursery and looks forward to going in. Really flexible and happy to adapt to children's routines. Would highly recommend.

This nursery provides really great care for the children and makes them feel special. Brilliant feedback each day to ensure you're kept up to date with your child's activities. Would, and have, recommended to family and friends. My daughter is currently in the Baby Room.

I can not speak highly enough of this fabulous nursery!

The building and grounds are always immaculate, the atmosphere as soon as you walk in is warm and friendly, beautiful displays of the children's having fun and different projects going on.

Each room has its own dedicated outdoor area which is just perfect for safe outdoor fun. The variety of activities the children do is very impressive. The 5 week menu 's that are available for parents to take away sound super varied, nutritious and delicious.

The things that really makes this establishment tick is the wonderful staff, the relationships you can see they have with the little ones, my daughter absolutely adores the girls in her room that care for her. Knowing whilst I am at work my child is in such good hands is the best feeling a mum can have!

Thanks Kids 1st!

My daughter has been at Kids 1st Bowesfield for around 18 months, she loves her days at nursery. She receives excellent care from all the staff, they always keep us well informed on her progress and what she has been up to daily. We will thoroughly miss everyone when she starts school in September.

My Daughter is excited every morning to go to nursery. The personal care is amazing and she loves all her nursery carers. Kids 1st has a warm and friendly environment and my daughter has come on leaps and bounds with all the amazing activities they do.

Fabulous staff who are very loving and caring towards my son. He loves attending Kids 1st and often wants to stay and play instead of coming home. The girls in my son's room have helped his development emotionally, physically and verbally and I couldn't be happier with the care he receives.

Excellent nursery. Moved our child here from another place when we moved. All the staff are excellent and our daughter loves them. There is always a clear handover at the end of the explaining what they have/haven't eaten and what they have been getting up to.
