I recommend with all my heart "First Day Nursery" who was called home by daughter. The best staff, who are like a family, take care of the children, guide them, the children feel safe, learn many things, evolve so much and most importantly discover themselves. For my little girl, it is a second family and I am very proud of the people at "First Day Nursery" because my child learned to communicate in English, because she did not speak, she learned to be independent, she is more confident, controls her emotions, she discovered her passions and also herself. The toys's are children favourites, the gardens are perfect for playing, everything is very clean, the food is excellent and the atmosphere is pleasant. I will always be grateful to them and both me and my little girl will miss "First Day Nursery". Thank you for everything!
Thank you so much for your heartfelt message. Your kind words truly mean the world to us. Knowing that First Day Nursery felt like a second home for your daughter and that she has grown, learned, and discovered so much during her time with us brings us immense joy and pride. It has been a pleasure...
When she first started, she was quite shy, but thanks to the nurturing and stimulating environment at First Day Nursery, she has developed into a sociable and outgoing child. The staff have been incredibly supportive and have played a vital role in her development.
We are truly grateful for the care and attention she has received.
The staff is very nice, and always willing to help. I highly recommend First Day Nursery!
Excellent service provided by First Day Nursery. My daughter started there two years ago, all the way to pre-school, and I am so happy with her development over the years. The staff at First Day Nursery have always been professional, and the management is outstanding. I highly recommend this nursery for your child.
Thank you to all staff and management.
My daughter attended First Day Nursery from the age of two and had a wonderful time there. The care and support offered by the staff and management made me feel confident that my daughter was safe and well looked after. A lot of time and attention is given to organising activities and encouraging development. I would highly recommend First Day Nursery to anyone in search of a great, local nursery with devoted, well-trained staff.
Speechless - my daughter had a development in terms of speech, and everything, in general, the school is spectacular - 5 stars. I recommend it to everyone who has children. Thanks for these amazing two years. Thanks for everything.
It was a wonderful experience. The nursery really helped my son to grow in all areas. My child loves to go to nursery. The staff is amazing and really looked after my child. We strongly recommend this nursery.
Excellent nursery. My daughter loved attending and learned so much. She will miss the staff and attending the setting. Light, clean and airy environment. The staff have always been friendly and polite and have never failed to greet us with a smile. Highly recommend this nursery to all.
Best nursery I have come across! I wish they also had a primary school so kids could continue their further journey within the same nurturing, safe and loving environment. My little one only started 10 months ago and from day one, she was settled and happy. The staff is absolutely brilliant, they cater to everyone's needs and genuinely care about kids. The director is a very kind gentleman, so is the manager, a beautiful lovely lady and the rest of the staff. Big thank you and congratulations to the whole management for creating such a positive, happy and nurturing place for kids to learn and grow. My little one will go to school soon and we are going to miss everyone at First Day Nursery!
The staff members are always approachable and willing to address any concerns or queries promptly. It truly feels like a partnership, and I am grateful for their genuine investment in my son's growth.
I wholeheartedly recommend First Day Nursery to any parent looking for a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment for their child. Thank you, First Day Nursery for playing a pivotal role in my child's early development and setting a strong foundation for his future.
Thank you from the family.
The staff were incredibly friendly and approachable. They built a wonderful relationship with my child and she was always so happy to see them. Her development and growth over the past year has been incredible with regular updates on what she has achieved and what they are working on etc with her key person.
From the facilities, food and planned activities, I can't fault it.
The Pre School graduation was amazing (and emotional), so much effort was put into it and you can see how proud the staff are of all the children in their care.
My daughter made many friends at the nursery and I will always cherish the time she spent here.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback, I'm delighted to hear your child was happy to attend our nursery and you were pleased with her development and growth whilst her time at our nursery. Also appreciate your amazing feedback for the pre-school graduation, we will miss you and your family.
My daughter was in the nursery from 8 months old and left in March as we have moved out of the area. Since my daughter started I have nothing but good things to say about this nursery. The staff have always been nurturing and loving towards her. Leaving her at a nursery so young I was really worried but she has grown and learnt so much being here. The staff have been amazing with her and she would always be so excited to go to nursery. A big thank you to those in the baby room and toddlers who looked after her as she has become such a confident and talkative child due to all she has learnt here.
Thank you for your positive feedback, it was a pleasure helping your daughter grow and develop at First Day Nursery. - We all miss her confident personality and her beautiful smile.
My child was very happy at the nursery, as a mother I feel safe and comfortable to leave my son every day. Excellent service. Amazing staff specially my child's second mum. The Director was amazing and all the other staff. You all have the best days every day that is what I wish for you all, thank you so much to have my son, he was very well looked after.
Thank you for your positive feedback, we're delighted that you've received excellent service from our amazing team. Wish you and your family all the best for the future. Thank you!
Both my son and daughter attended First Day Nursery at the Ilford branch with my daughter graduating from Pre-School in July 2022. I cannot fault the nursery one bit, from the amazing and thoughtful staff to the incredible facilities and healthy food my children were in safe hands. The nurseries ethos in teaching and working alongside the academics capabilities really excelled were instilled within the children and you could see what they have learnt every time they came home. My daughter was always happy and excited to go to nursery and made some best friends and close relations with the staff which she will cherish forever. I would definitely recommend First Day Nursery to any parent or guardian contemplating choosing this nursery over other nurseries in the Redbridge borough.
Khaleda, thank you for this feedback. Happy to hear that both your children excelled and were happy at First Day Nursery. All the best for the future.
My daughter suffers from multiple severe allergies (Anaphylaxis) and having had a bad experience at another local nursery I was apprehensive to send my daughter to a new nursery. I found First Day Nursery and they did everything they could to keep my daughter safe. The management are excellent and very supportive, they made adjustments for my daughter so that she didn’t have to miss out. My daughter had a wonderful time at this nursery and my only regret is that I didn’t find them sooner!
Thank you Aisha for your feedback, it has been a real pleasure in supporting your daughter at First Day Nursery. Wish you and your daughter every success on the road ahead.
I will like to thank you to all the staff and my daughter in particular to her key workers.
My daughter has been going to this nursery since December 2020; she really enjoys and was showing a lot of interest to go from the very first week. The staff provide her with good care, and we have not had any issues so far. They encourage her to communicate well, and I could see the difference. I would definitely recommend.
Thank you for your feedback. Happy to hear that your child enjoys, has developed, and staff taking good care.
The nursery has very friendly and caring staff. The nursery has a positive environment and pushes children to grow further. The nursery is also flexible and considerate for working parents which makes it easier for parents to balance pick-ups and drop-offs. The nursery has a good culture and teaches children the fundamentals of learning.
Thank you for your feedback, pleased that you have noted that we have a positive environment that enables children to develop further. Also, that we are flexible in supporting parents' requirements. Once again thank you.
My son and I are so sad to be leaving this nursery to join reception. My son has flourished the last year to an independent young boy. He has learnt so much and he loves going to nursery. He would go on and on about the teachers as well the friends he has made. Highly recommend this nursery without a doubt. Staff are so attentive and caring and I feel they all go that extra mile to accommodate any parents needs.
Thank you for your feedback. We are delighted that your child loves attending our nursery, has flourished in independency and enhanced learning. We are also pleased that our staff are caring, attentive and prepared to go the extra mile. Once again thank you.
