Review from Scarlet L (Mother of Child) published on 21 August 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I would like to say a big thank you to all of the staff members at Child First Pre-school for all of your help and support that you have given me and my son over the last couple of years. You have helped to prepare him ready for school and he is more confident within himself. Your team are very supportive and give me some fantastic ideas of activities that I could do at home, and they share daily updates of the fun activities that they have been doing at preschool. Thank you again for everything!

Fantastic preschool with great staff. My child loves attending her sessions and always comes out with a big smile on her face. The facilities are brilliant. Big space for the children to play and the garden is excellent. Would highly recommend this setting.

My little boy loves it here. The staff are so kind and he loves them. Always there to give him a cuddle when needed. And so helpful if I ever need him in for extra days last minute.

Overall Experience

Very good experience with the pre-school. My child's primary carer is very sweet and very friendly. My child loves her teacher. All the staff at the pre-school are very friendly and my child has grown a lot mentally and without us having to do a lot. Her behaviour is very friendly with other kids and she has learned all the good manners. So five-star out of five-star to the pre-school, all teachers and staff.

Reply from Louisa Steele, Manager at Child First Aylesbury Pre-School

Overall Experience
Beautiful nursery. The staff are so welcoming. The manager has offered loads of support since my daughter started, sharing knowledge that I didn’t have and supporting me step by step. She has a lovely team who are always friendly, well-trained and the nursery always looks lovely with lots of fun things for the kids to do!

Thank you, guys, for being so amazing.

Review from Chris K (Father of Child) published on 27 June 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We have been with the preschool for nearly two years. The staff always provide lovely activities for the children and you can tell they are passionate about what they do. The feedback we receive on a daily basis is always In depth, and the app is regularly updated with lots of pictures and observations.
The management team are fantastic and we can see a big difference in preschool since them joining the team.
They have allowed us back into the setting for collection which hasn't happened since Covid. I attended a Father's Day tea which was well organised and such a lovely experience for me to see my son enjoying his time with his friends.

I would highly recommend this setting.

Review from Lou H (Mother of Child) published on 22 June 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has loved being at Child First and will undoubtedly miss it terribly when she moves to primary school this year. Even though there have been a number of managers since she joined a couple of years ago, the core staff have worked really hard to keep the children happy and provided consistency for them. The level of detail received in the reports/updates via the app has been great; providing reassurance that my daughter is on track with her learning and development. I also get lovely personal feedback when picking up my daughter each day from her key person. Even when I get feedback from another member of staff, they still seem well versed in what she has been up to each day. The flexibility and availability at the Pre-school for amending or increasing hours has also been great, which I'm told is a rarity these days. And lastly; great food, great facilities and outdoor space, great range of activities... I would highly recommend this Pre-school!

Reply from Louisa Steele, Manager at Child First Aylesbury Pre-School

Thank you so much for your kind words regarding the preschool. We have all made great relationships with the children and are going to miss them dearly when they leave for primary school this year.

Review from S P (Mother of Child) published on 14 December 2021 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
The pre-school is very supportive not only to my son but to parents as well, especially under extreme pressure (Covid). All staff engage so well with children and encourage them to express themselves while learning in a fun way.
I've never had my son be so happy in an environment like this.

If my son has a certain interest they use that in different areas to keep him engaged. I also love the fact the pre-school utilises the garden as much as they do to explore the natural environment. Would highly recommend to everyone without a doubt!

Child First have been absolutely brilliant! They really worked hard to support my child with his transition from another nursery. He has been so happy there and has built very good relationships with the staff. He enjoys a wide variety of activities including science experiments, cooking and growing vegetables.

He has and continues to thoroughly enjoy his time at Child First Pre-School and I would recommend this setting to anyone looking.

Review from Sarah B (Mother of Child) published on 16 July 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I have had two children attend this preschool and the connected nursery in the last few years. Both have loved it, made friends and talked enthusiastically about the activities, the facilities and the food. All the staff have been very good, but I'd particularly like to praise one lady, who my children were drawn to for her conversation and teaching them things about the world and Spanish... The management team have also always been approachable, and it is a very welcoming place.

Overall Experience

Both my children have attended Child First Aylesbury Pre-School and throughout the 6 years they have provided excellent care. The staff are helpful, friendly and kind... nothing is too much trouble. Both children settled in well and love going each day. The environment is always stimulating, engaging and inspiring for the children. The staff support the children with all aspects of the Early Years Curriculum and prepare them well for their transition to primary school. Thank you Child first for the great service over the years.

Review from Martina B (Mother of Child) published on 18 May 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
01. Child First Aylesbury Pre-school has been our choice for both our daughters: Our eldest still remembers fondly her time there and our youngest is very excited to come every single day.

The staff is amazing with so much heart and a caring mindset. The teachers really make an effort to engage the kids and develop them in a very individualised way. The management is really committed to providing a safe, fun, and loving environment and I really enjoy the attention and importance they pay also to the food preparation and education for the kids. I honestly cannot recommend Child First preschool enough and we cannot wait for our baby son to attend too, when his time will come.

I had a very good experience with all staff when I had inquiries and my son is very happy to go there. They offer a variety of food and they do take into consideration parents' preferences. They also have lots of different activities every day and different methods of teaching to suit little personalities.

My daughter has enjoyed every minute of Child First preschool so far. They have been fantastic in the transition of starting preschool and full-time hours. All questions and queries have been answered promptly and fully. We enjoy the emailed newsletters and communication through Facebook and Instagram. Handovers are detailed so that I know how much food my daughter has had and what activities she did! My review is based on the smile my daughter comes out with. It's always a big one!
