Children 1st Hathern Nursery School

Only moved a year ago and already feel part of the family.

My little boy loves it and there's plenty of activities to keep him occupied and stimulated. I am really impressed and would certainly recommend.

They’ve understood my son, made his journey a happy, interesting and safe one. They really have that inclusive family feeling there, I’d recommend anyone to use the nursery, I only have positive things to say and will remember my son’s time there with great fondness.

My son has been attending for roughly two years and spent most of it pretty nonverbal but his needs were always met and he’s come on loads lately, ready to start school. Staff are lovely although the only negative I would have is at one point in the year staff turnover was quite high which perhaps didn’t help with my son's shyness but other than that, I cannot fault the place. I’d happily send my child here.

The staff are all great and have helped bring our child on, very friendly and caring towards the children. Facilities and learning content seem to be good and our child loves going in each day. A great team to look after him.

Our son has been attending Children 1st @ Hathern for 19 months now and recently they have supported us with the transition of rooms and supported us through the difficulty my son is experiencing with his lack of speech. All members of staff have been amazing, not only for my son but with us as parents also.

Highly Recommend Hathern Children 1st Nursery.

Since my daughter started coming to the nursery in August 2020 I feel like my daughter has rapidly grown and gained valuable personal skills. I strongly believe if my daughter had not come to this nursery then she would not be as developed as she currently is. My daughter likes coming to the nursery and has made lots of friends since coming here. The staff have made myself and my partner feel at ease since day one with regular end of day handovers and daily updates on what my daughter has been doing throughout the day.

My 10-month-old baby has recently started nursery at Children 1st @ Hathern following my return to work from maternity leave. The whole process was stress-free and has made me feel confident that my little boy will be in safe caring hands. The staff who look after him are just lovely and I can tell that they have a true passion for what they do and a real interest in the children they look after. My little boy has settled in so well and is happy for me to leave him in the mornings which is a huge relief when I have to rush off to work. The nursery itself is really well set out with rooms for each age group and lovely gardens too, especially the big garden which I'm sure he will love to explore as he gets older. Thank you to all the staff for their hard work and dedication.

The manager and the team have been an incredible support and help with both children, I can't thank them enough. Both children love coming to nursery, making friends and getting involved in all the great activities.

We could not ask for a more friendly or professional team to assist and take care of our child.

My son started Nursery in January 2023 and has settled in amazingly. The team have been so welcoming and we have been really impressed with the support and communication provided. The care provided has been next to none and the variety of food and toys provided is excellent.

Since my child has been going to Children 1st Day Nursery, I believe they have been happily encouraged to become much more independent and have grown immensely throughout, they have also grown much more confident around new people and other children, staff are always very friendly and helpful and I’m always confident and happy with the care provided. I also love to see the different activities they do to help children learn and play that differ from activities at home.

My 2-year-old is the most shy little girl going, she really is my shadow. She joined this nursery in March after relocating and she absolutely loves it. No tears at drop-off, my heart is so full. I'm so happy with the choice we made. My son also went to another Children 1st nursery and he absolutely loved that too. Thank you.

My son started in the Peter Rabbit's room just after Christmas and is absolutely loving it. He’s always got a smile and a happy face for all of the girls working there and they are easy to chat to and liaise with. We’ve had all different childcare provisions with other children and I wish I had considered Children 1st @ Hathern first before for my eldest it's easily become my recommended place for locals asking.

Since my grandson started nursery in 2021, he is happy to go along into nursery being greeted by one of the super staff, smiling and always ready for a hug. His confidence has grown and loves to play with other children.

My daughter attended Children 1st Hathern just after she turned 1. She has loved it every day after. We had a short break due to Covid, so going back when she was 3 worried me. But the staff all remembered her, remembered the name of her bunny that she still takes everywhere with her, and now it's like she's never been away. The staff are caring, the setting is well kept. They mix learning and play. When your daughter wakes up excited to see her teachers and friends you know it's a great place to be. Thanks all you are brilliant.

I moved my son here from another nursery and my god it was the best decision I made. He has come on so much here. The girls are great. Easy to talk to. He comes home so happy and tells me all about his day. He brings drawings home.

I would just like to say a huge thank you to all the staff members at nursery who have helped my daughter with her speaking and confidence. She has developed these skills at a fast pace. Thank you so much to you all as you are always so helpful, caring and thoughtful. Thank you.

After having a bad experience with a previous nursery, Children 1st @ Hathern Day Nursery has been amazing. My daughter has allergies and they have always catered for her and she always comes out with a smile. She sleeps amazing there and is so comfortable in their care. Thanks!
