The daily diaries are fully completed so I know what my son has been doing throughout the day. A great nursery, the best in Leek.
This is the first time I have put any of my children in a nursery and I will admit I was a bit wary, due to the fact my daughter is very clingy and has only been around myself or my husband all day every day since she was born.
We did have a few issues with my daughter crying and screaming at the beginning but with the help of the fabulous staff, she is getting better after each session.
When I go to collect my daughter in the evening, the staff always inform myself or my husband about what my daughter has eaten, what her day has been like and her last bottom change. She always comes out of nursery with a smile on her face and she is always very clean and tidy.
I would definitely recommend this nursery to anyone who is after childcare.
I think the nursery is very good, a good friendly welcome, children like the carers a lot. Always ring to solve any problems/queries. Also, I find them very helpful if I have any problems. My kids enjoy going and I think my kids are learning and adapting to changes very well. Highly recommend this nursery to anyone.
We are disappointed with the choices of food and drinks that are available only water for breakfast and two kinds of cereal or toast (no jams etc) The snacks are always the cheapest supermarket variety! Invoices are not itemised. There is no flexibility if we want to change the requested sessions but we still have to pay.
Thank you Mum (Joanne) for the opportunity to discuss the comments raised in your review, allowing us to resolve them to your satisfaction. As a company, we welcome all feedback and strive to continually offer the very best service to our children and families. We welcome your ongoing custom and would like to thank you again for your feedback.
Fantastic outstanding nursery.
Leek first school is a very good and reliable nursery. The girls are very good and pleasant.
Great staff, friendly and helpful. Lovely curriculum and a fully adapted environment.
Fantastic nursery with friendly, cheery, helpful staff. Very clean, positive atmosphere. Modern.
My son attends the holiday club at Leek First School which is run by Children 1st. He totally loves his time there and looks forward to the school holidays and the time he spends with the carers and children there. They provide a varied range of activities and there is a variety of toys to suit all ages and interests. The standard of care is second to none, I never have a worry leaving my son in their care.

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.
Since 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.
