Review from B J (Brother of Child) published on 11 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My little brother goes to First Timers Pre-School Nursery and our family honestly loves it. The staff are really kind and welcoming, and you can tell they genuinely care about the children. My little brother is always happy to go in and comes home talking about what they've been doing.

He absolutely loves the outdoor time and is always excited to tell us about what he's been doing outside. It's really helped build his confidence and kept him active. The weekly galleries and updates are great for keeping us all in the loop too.

We've seen such a boost in my little brother's confidence and independence. I'd definitely recommend First Timers to other families.

Overall Experience

Our daughter has consistently enjoyed attending First Timers and is very settled there. We have been happy with the range of activities our daughter has access to, and this has supported her development. We hope the activities and the fabric of the facilities and building/outside space are maintained. We feel that our daughter is safe, cared for, and any issues we've had have been dealt with in a timely and appropriate manner. Our daughter has a positive relationship with members of staff, who are approchable, knowledgale and caring.

Overall Experience

We couldn't be happier with First Timers Pre-School Nursery. The staff are warm, welcoming, and genuinely caring, creating a safe and nurturing environment where children feel secure and excited to learn. The outdoor opportunities are excellent, with children spending lots of time outside exploring, building physical skills, and developing confidence. Communication with parents is fantastic, with regular updates and photos shared. We have seen wonderful growth in our child's confidence and independence since starting here and would highly recommend First Timers to any family looking for a caring, supportive early years setting.

Review from Ami H (Mother of Child) published on 2 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
First Timers is a friendly, welcoming, and truly child-centred nursery. As a first-time parent, I couldn't have asked for a better place for my daughter. She absolutely loves going and is genuinely excited every morning when she arrives.
The staff know her so well and have played a huge role in helping her grow, gain confidence, and flourish. They always make time to ensure the children have outdoor play, and the play itself is thoughtfully planned to be both fun and educational.

Her development and vocabulary simply wouldn't be where they are today without the care, support, and dedication of the team at First Timers. I'm grateful for everything they do.

Review from Susannah M (Mother of Child) published on 9 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review from P S (Father of Child) published on 22 November 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review from Emma F (Mother of Child) published on 30 July 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.
