Review from Susannah M (Mother of Child) published on 9 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
First Timers is a hidden gem tucked away between Navenby and Wellingore. It is a beautiful setting, with a huge garden to play in and horses can be seen in the field next door. The staff are really friendly, with the new manager, Becky, being very professional, and also very welcoming and friendly,
exactly who you would want in charge of your child's care. I am a very anxious mum, but Becky and the team always took the time to reassure me if I had any questions.


Both the food and dining facilities are great, I never had an issue with either, and with potty training, the team were really helpful and my daughter was fully potty trained within a few weeks of starting training. Would highly recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son loves coming to First Timers, he even asks to go on the weekends! He has thrived so much since starting last May. He has since moved into the pre-school room in September and the learning has been impeccable as he grows in confidence and independence, we are very confident that he will be more
than ready for school next year. Staff are excellent at keeping us informed of his learning and are on hand for advice and guidance. They show that they really care for all the children there.

First Timers has a safe, welcoming and friendly environment and is perfect for preschool and nursery aged children. My daughter has enjoyed every single moment of attending this nursery and we have been that pleased with it that my son will be attending the nursery from September. My daughter has gained
in confidence and her development would not be where it is if it wasn't for this nursery. She has made lots of new friends which has made the transition from attending Nursery to attending School that much easier.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.067)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.067) out of 10 for First Timers Pre-School Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 5.000 for First Timers Pre-School Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 5
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 3.067 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for First Timers Pre-School Day Nursery is based on 1 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 = 3
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 75 number of registered child places is 15. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 15 = 0.067
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
