If you're looking for a nursery that are compassionate and dedicated to caring for your child, then this place is certainly the one.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We love having your daughter with us, and she's thriving during her time here.
From the first day my granddaughter started, she has loved every second. The staff are so good with the children and discussing with family any help the children need to learn. The fact they get to spend time outside in the fresh air surrounded by the most beautiful surroundings and so much safe space.
Thank you for your kind words, we love having your granddaughter and she is absolutely thriving at Child First.
The big one for me is the daily updates that parents get through about their children. The nursery are always updating what the children are doing, what they're eating, any activities they do and anything else that's important. It's just really good to know.
This nursery is brilliant for any parents who want to take their children. I can't recommend it enough.
Thank you for your kind review. We love having your granddaughter with us, and she has developed so much in her time with us.
We have lots of plus points but also several detractors.
The outdoor space is a real plus. No other nursery in the area has the space like Child First meaning that the majority of the year they are outside exploring.
From care and attention to organisation, we've found Child First to be somewhat disappointing.
The staff work hard but it does feel at times like they are busier than they should be.
Belongings are not looked after, and the peg room is constantly a mess meaning you have to search high and low for clothing.
Mixed messaging from staff regarding accidents, means you are left feeling rather displaced. My daughter had a fall whilst in their care and fractured her skull and spent a week in Sheffield Children Hospital. Although not entirely their fault, this incident has left us questioning the nursery more than before.
I'm truly sorry to hear that you feel this way; we have genuinely cared for both of your daughters since they were little. I have personally been there to support you throughout your journey with us, so I'm quite disheartened by your review. Regarding your daughter's unfortunate accident almost a...
An amazing place for my child to experience. The opportunity to play and discover things away from home, in the care of a lovely team who have done wonders in helping her settle in. Really glad I chose Child First Welbeck.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We love having your gorgeous little girl with us.
Beautiful nursery, the outdoor space and the freshly made food was a winner for us. The staff are great and very attentive. The app which they use is great, the staff are always providing us with updates of what our daughter has eaten and how much she has slept etc. They are always quick to respond to any queries through the app. Our daughter has settled perfectly. We would Highly recommend Child First Welbeck.
Thank you so much for your kind words, we love having your daughter with us, she's such a gorgeous little girl.
The staff are amazing, my daughter really loves it here and she has come on so much since starting. I've just signed her up for another year as I can't imagine her going anywhere else. If I have another child, they will also be going here.
Thank you so much for your kind words, we love having your daughter with us and watching her develop. She's such a gorgeous little girl.
Fantastic nursery with caring staff and a vast array of play options available. The inside and outside space is unlike other nurseries and the food always smells amazing. This place is a hidden gem. Wish we'd known about it sooner!
Thank you for your review, we love having your child with us.
Couldn't be happier with Child First Welbeck. The staff and the rustic nursery vibes and the way my daughter confidently skips in feeling happy and excited for the day ahead makes this nursery a great option for kids who love to be outside, get mucky and play!
Thank you so much for your review, we adore having your daughter with us.
The facilities are top-notch, always clean, safe, and equipped with engaging and age-appropriate activities. The communication with parents is excellent, keeping us informed about our baby's daily experiences and milestones.
We couldn't be happier with our choice and highly recommend Child First Nursery Welbeck to any parent looking for a nurturing and enriching place for their little one.
Thank you for your kind words, it's very much appreciated. We love having your child with us.
I would recommend this nursery to anyone. Everyday again and again. My son adores it and I know yours will too!
Thank you for your kind words, it really is appreciated, our chef said thank you too. We love having your son with us, and he always has a huge smile on his face.
Brilliant nursery, my child comes home very happy at the end of the day. The food is amazing, the staff are friendly and the variety of activities the children can do is amazing. The outside space is great for their development. I'm overwhelmed with all my child's learnt since coming to this nursery. Overall a great experience for both myself and my child. Would 100% recommend.
Thank you for your kind words, it's very much appreciated. We love having your child at nursery.
The setting and facilities are amazing and allow the little ones to spend most of their time outdoors.
The staff are excellent and very attentive to the little one's needs. They sing, read, and plan activities to do with the children each day.
Everything is logged on an app so parents can see what their child has eaten, nappy/toilet visits, accidents, etc.
The staff go out of their way to accommodate you and are very quick to respond to any queries.
It's not only the staff but the environment to, large outdoor play areas that allow kids to be kids, building experiences and friendships as they go.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Child First Welbeck to anyone looking for a nursery and preschool place.
Thank you so much for your review. We're going to miss your boys so much, they're absolutely amazing.
All the staff are so kind and welcoming, the outside spaces are brilliant if you have an outdoor-loving child and I have always felt supported by the management team if I have any queries or issues.
Just recently I was required to cut gluten out of my son's diet until his coeliac screen came back, straight away I was met with support by the space leader who kindly asked for a list of the things he liked to eat and she would add it to the shopping list for the next week. She said she would make him a little box up with his gluten-free snacks and food. I was very reassured that he would be supported with his gluten-free diet.
My first child came here and enjoyed it and now my youngest loves it too. The best nursery around!
Thank you so much for your review. I'm so glad that you feel supported, and that we've had the opportunity to look after both of your sons, they're an absolute credit to you and gorgeous.
The staff are so friendly and attentive.
My daughter is in her nursery clothes because she lives her day to the fullest and she will need a bath! She is smiling, and for me, she will have been outside in a safe space... bumps and dirt included!
Thank you for your review, we love having your daughter at Child First. We always get a huge smile as soon as we see her, and she has such a caring nature.
Choosing Child First is hands down one of the best decisions we have made for our children. The staff team is incredible. They have supported not only our twins but also us as a family. Our children are given the best care and I drop them off each day knowing they are safe, well cared for, and happy as well as enjoying so many wonderful opportunities. As a result, they are both thriving beyond anything we could have imagined. We are so glad we found Child First.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, we adore your twins. They have made an enormous amount of progress in the last few months, and that is down to you too. You are such wonderful parents to them both.
Our toddler is very happy at Child First Welbeck and so are we! Though we came to Child First Welbeck after being left in the lurch when our old nursery closed, we have had the most happy accident of her moving. Our little girl loves her friends and we are so pleased with how she is getting on, how she’s developing and the support that she gets from everyone at nursery. We wouldn’t want her to be anywhere else.
We love having your daughter with us at Child First, she’s adorable.
Most amazing outdoor and indoor spaces for kids who love to get muddy and messy! Always lovely to see children allowed to explore freely when given the freedom to discover and play in a safe but child-led environment.
Thank you so much for your review, it's very much appreciated. We love having your daughter at nursery and she certainly thrives from being outdoors and getting muddy.
The team are great, always updating us throughout the day with the activities they do and uploading photos so we can see his happy face from his time at nursery. He has developed so much in the three months that he has been going here.
Thank you for your review, we love having your little boy at Child First.
