The nursery itself is fun and bright and has a great outdoor area too. All staff are caring and very professional and the twins have responded well to all of them. Thank you.

I do recommend Childrens 1st nursery to be value for money.
I have actually done this. I recommended to a colleague at work who was moving to the area. She took up on this straight away without looking at any other nursery's in the area due to the comments I made. Well deserved. My child is cared for in all her needs very well.

My child has been at bucks for 2 years. They are loving and carrying and bring him on better than I can. My child has special needs and I have not been impressed by the knowledge and support for his special needs. It has made me realise that I can’t expect that kind of support from nursery and have to do it all myself. I feel that Bucks is a good nursery if your child has normal development but not great for special needs. That said I think miss my son's keyworker who is absolutely brilliant.
Extremely happy with the care my child receives. She loves her days at Children 1st @ Buckinghams and it’s clear to see why all of the staff members are welcoming and can’t do enough for you.

Extremely happy with the care my child receives. She loves her days at Children 1st @ Buckinghams and it’s clear to see why all of the staff members are welcoming and can’t do enough for you. The outside area is a hidden gem which again my child loves. The nursery is clean and secure and the staff cater for all dietary requirements which all the staff have great knowledge in. Thank you for making my child’s early years full of fun!
Our son loves going to nursery here and all the staff know him, even those working in other rooms to his. He is learning so much here and his time spent is invaluable. We're very happy with the care here.

The nursery is amazing, the staff, environment and atmosphere of the whole organisation is top drawer and I would defiantly recommend this nursery to other parents. I have used other nurseries in the past with my other children and believe this to be the best yet! The emotional warmth the staff show the children is second to non and they always have time for the children and are very thoughtful and caring.
The staff make this nursery fantastic. They are all so friendly and are lovely with the children. My daughter talks a lot about what she’s been doing and who she sees. When I pick them up they always want to go back to the nursery so they must have some good fun! Everything is ran so well.

I have always found that my children are very safe and enjoy nursery life at Buckinghams - Staff were very helpful when my 2 &1/2 year old son has become potty trained.

The girls here are amazing. My son is well looked after and is encouraged to do well. The food is fantastic and my son is offered seconds if he wants it. We are always asked if he's slept well during the night and if he needs breakfast in the morning. They also encourage the use of the potty even though our son at the moment choosing just to sit on it. There's story's, painting, sand and water play and lots of cuddles to go around. Keep up the good work everyone

Fantastic nursery. My daughter always enjoys going and she has come on leaps and bounds since attending. All the staff are friendly and professional and caring, they all work really hard to provide for all the children. Can’t fault the nursery at all.

Hello my name is Nicola Hardy I am the Manager @ Children 1st @ Buckinghamsl.
As well as working full time I am also a Mum of two Children Louis who is 13 and Molly who is 8 both of my children attended nursery from the age of Nine months old I feel this has been a great start for my children socially and intellectually.
I started my career in childcare 26 years ago and have experienced various roles working with all age groups within our nurseries.
A deputy position came up within the company this would potentially be a great move I was a successful applicant and I started my new position in October 2016.
I was given the opportunity to develop myself as a Manager. I have found this move a great experienceSince working with Children 1st I have been able to continue my training completing a NVQ Level Three in customer services.
During my time with children 1st I have become more confident and have developed skills in all aspects of my job role
I have a passion and am fully committed to providing high quality day care and education to all our children. And for caring for children and their families, ensuring that they are happy and settled whilst attending our setting.
