First Friends Nursery School - Basingstoke

My little girl started at first friends Chineham in January and settled in amazingly and so quickly. She always looks forward to going to first friends and asks to go every day. Emily, Beth and Rosie are so good with the children and always making the days so fun. My little one talks about them a lot and does role playing at home using Beth and Emily's name along with other children's names. I can tell she feels happy and loved when she is at first friends. I don't have anything negative to say at all. Thank you all for your hard work and helping our little ones grow.

Highly recommend! Perfect venue for money!

Both of my boys have attended preschool at First Friends Nursery School and they have absolutely loved their time there. One is still attending it and he always talks highly of the staff there. They do alot of different activities everyday and keep the children engaged. Also share pictures for parents to see how their day went. I am really happy with them and appreciate all they do for our children.

Its been wonderful to hear our granddaughter come home from nursery telling us how much fun she has had and that she wanted to go back and play with her friends. She is always so excited to see her friends and also the carers who she is genuinely very fond of. Everyday they do something new and ensure theres lots of fresh air and healthy lunches. Trips to the library etc. The experience is perfect for an entry into school life in the future. We couldnt wish for a more inclusive and caring group of ladies who manage the nursery. The updates daily enable the family to relax knowing she is in safe hands.

I sincerely wish information is shared either in a messaging group app for parents or the app.

My daughter has started there when she was 21 months old. She has settled within 1 week. All teacher and management are amazing. They always smiley and helpful. My daughter is happy to go there. Of course I am happy as a mum. Thank you for supporting to our kids

I'm absolutely delighted with First Friends Nursery - it's been a game-changer for my little one! The staff are like family, always warm and welcoming. They've helped my child grow in ways I never thought possible, and I love seeing the excitement in their eyes when they talk about their day. The nursery environment is clean, safe, and stimulating, with engaging activities that foster learning and creativity. The staff are attentive, patient, and genuinely invested in each child's well-being. I appreciate the regular updates and communication, keeping me informed about my child's progress. What impresses me most is the nursery's ability to make my child feel loved, supported, and confident. I feel so grateful to have found such a wonderful place. I wholeheartedly recommend First Friends Nursery to anyone looking for a nurturing and supportive environment for their child. The staff's dedication, passion, and love for childcare shine through in everything they do.

First Friends Nursery School - Basingstoke is a happy place for my child. He always looks forward to going to school even at weekends he is asking to go to school. My son always sings the songs they do in school and many many things he learns every day. We can see his improvement day by day. We are very happy that my son is in safe hands and well looked after. Lots of love from our family to the team.

We are so happy with all the staff. My daughter started more than one year ago in the little room. My daughter was 2 years old when she started and the first week was so difficult for her but with her key worker and other staff members, she soon everything was perfect! She loves to go to First Friends Nursery School.

First friend nursery is a happy place for my children. They always look forward to each day at school. They are always happy when they get back home. Always have something to say about how their day went. The songs they sang, what they were taught and about how they played with their friends. My daughter talks about how she made her auntie's hair, this makes me laugh always. My son talks about his aunty cuddling him whenever he feels sleepy and how she feeds him whenever he wants to eat. He talks about how his aunty help him change his nappies as well. They also talk about the snacks they give to them and how they love it and wants me to get it for them. I am very happy that my children are in safe hands and well looked after. Well done to the entire team. Much love from my family to the team.

My daughter has been attending First Friends for the past year. She thoroughly enjoys it and has made a lot of friends. She is very into crafts and drawing and the preschool has so many activities like this that she loves to do. She is learning every day how to control her emotions and the staff handle her very well.

I love First Friends. From the day my child started there, I knew it was a safe, loving and fun environment for him to learn and develop. He is constantly monitored and encouraged to learn new skills and he is also kept under excellent care. They have a good ratio of staff to children so I know my child is always kept safe and looked after.

We are very happy with the nursery and our boy seems to be enjoying it there Always comes out with a smile every time we collect him. Thank you for all your hard work.

Friendly Staff, you can rest assure your child is always well protected and looked after by the way they are always on top of the details by informing you before and after pick up on important information about your child. They offer extra support for parents. Always giving great ideas for development at home.

Amazing nursery highly recommends it. There is one lady who is incredible in Explorers, communication is amazing, couldn't be more grateful. All the staff are lovely and very honest and amazing with the children. Lots of activities for the children to do, lots of variety.

First friends Basingstoke has been great with my little girl. Only thing I would say is the new nursery manager isn't very great at responding to emails. My little girls speech has coke in leaps and bounds since coming to friends first

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the nursery to others. My child is happy here.

The staff are very friendly and couldn’t be any more helpful. It’s a brilliant nursery.

So glad I chose First Friends!

What makes this nursery so special is the staff. They really care and bond with the children, engaging with them on all levels.
