Overall Experience

A lovely friendly atmosphere. Staff very loving towards families. Staff are very professional. Children tend to learn at their own pace. Staff work brilliantly with parents, encouraging toilet training and are very keen to help children that struggle to cope with daily life, speech and difficulties in communication. My child is very happy there, he looks forward to going every day and has made some lovely friends. Staff are very motivating in teaching children daily activities, cleanliness is excellent, it's cleaned daily and the whole building is clean and children tend to follow the rules. Food is also great.

Review from Nasreen Z (Mother of Child) published on 12 March 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

This is an excellent nursery. My older child went to another nursery, so I can compare the care, learning facilities, management and staff. Before this, I have tried two other nurseries for my child who is attending this nursery and I did not see any dedication from the staff. At First Day Nursey they treat all the children as individuals and do care and respect their needs.

My child has allergy issues. The staff take extra care in preparing the foods and making it delicious and presentable.

For me, this is the best nursery that I have ever come across. Highly recommend to any parents who wants a peace of mind while working.

Overall Experience
I put my baby into First Day when he was 1.5 years old. He settled within 2 days and has been there now for nearly 1 year. He loves going in daily and the practitioners are so friendly and welcoming. You can see the genuine care and attention they give my child. They recognise behaviours and development without me telling them as I see at home. They have always provided such detailed feedback about my child's day and any concerns. They follow all procedures for when the child is unwell, has had an accident etc. I know my child is in safe caring hands.

They are always investing in different methods of development and organise events for all/many festivities and celebrations. Honestly, such a caring nursery.

Overall Experience

My daughter went to First Day Nursery and the amazing staff helped her in all possible ways. She was very happy with the workers and managed to make new friends very quickly. The manager is very co-operative and makes a special effort to make children settle in the learning environment and to keep them safe. Very co-operative owners would highly recommend.

Review from Jagmohan S (Mother of Child) published on 18 July 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I would definitely recommend this nursery for anyone with preschool children as the environment in which they are in is the highest standard that I have ever seen from a nursery. They work alongside the local borough education standards and Ofsted to meet very high standards which are maintained within their vicinity. The staff are committed to being the best they can be at all times. The nursery is a very safe and clean environment for children and I would highly rate this nursery on all its outstanding features.

Overall Experience

I am pretty much satisfied with my child's performance, he has gained a lot of confidence and overcome his shyness. The teachers, especially the manager, are very cooperative and caring. They listen to all your concerns of your child and work on it with you.

Review from Gulshan B (Mother of Child) published on 5 June 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I would highly recommend First Day Nursery. It's a very good nursery. The staff are caring, highly qualified and supportive. They provide a daily update on what your child has been doing throughout the day which is really good, as it allows you to see if the child is settling well in the nursery. My daughter is very happy. She improves and has learnt so much from this nursery. The Key Worker is very nice. Cheering the kids all the time and commenting nicely on how well they look. On a daily basis, they are teaching new things, so the children can develop more. The Nursery provides a variety of healthy food. I was very concerned about my daughters eating habits but she eats and enjoys everything. Very helpful and supportive if you are running late and cannot pick up on time. I will surely put my son in this nursery when he grows up. Very safe and secure nursery. If you are looking for a good nursery, then this is the best.

Overall Experience
I love this nursery. Before putting my son in this nursery I was worried about his speech delay but now his speech has progressed a lot since he joined First Day Nursery. I have also seen a positive development in him in other development areas. Staff here is very caring and supportive. I appreciate the way they welcome children and parents. Management is easily approached as well.

I would definitely recommend First Day Nursery to parents who are looking for a safe and loving environment for their children.

Overall Experience
I would highly recommend First Day Nursery. The staff is caring, highly qualified and attentive. My son is very happy here.
The Nursery provides a variety of healthy food, which is very Important for my son growth.

Lots of activities take place during the day such as cooking, walks to local shops and train station, art and craft etc. His key worker is very caring and helpful especially when, we as parents, need to discuss his problems. My son has developed lots of good habits because of the Nursery such as sharing, tidy up, and going to the toilet by himself.

Overall Experience
The First Day Nursery is a lovely place for our little one to have fun, learn and develop.
He is so excited each morning to go to his nursery and play with his friends including his caretakers.
It feels really good to be greeted and treated so warmly by all the staff there.

I would definitely recommend this nursery to all those parents who are looking for a safe, clean and fun place for their children.

Review from Naveen K (Father of Child) published on 17 October 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
This is my child's first nursery. He starts going to nursery at age 3. So we were worried initially that it will be difficult for him to adjust. But staff are experts in their field and they handled it well.

They have given special care to my child and make him very comfortable.

We are happy that we choose FirstDay Nursery for our child and definitely recommend to others.

My child started to go to this nursery from the opening. My child is very happy to be there. Since she started to go on this nursery her speech has progressed a lot, she loves the food given.
