Review from S C (Mother of Child) published on 6 February 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son goes to after school club at the nursery and the staff have done a really great job of settling him in. He was very upset for the first few weeks of starting school as he didn’t go to this nursery before and he was very unsettled by the change.
It was a very upsetting time for all of us but the staff at Moors Farm were fantastic.
They reassured both me and my little boy that all was ok and gently encouraged him to join in and make friends.

I would definitely recommend the after school club as a great place for your children if like me you Work and cannot pick your children up from school - no matter how much they would like you too!

Overall Experience
My son has attended this nursery since it opened. He has been in every room from baby through to pre-school. The staff are fantastic and very helpful. My son has issues with food and staff have encouraged him to try new foods. I am an overprotective parent but felt this nursery was safe and I have not looked back. My son has a great relationship with each member of staff and it is always difficult at home time as he never wants to leave. He has learnt a lot of new things which he shares with us at home.

A typical boy, he loves all of the outside areas to play in. Great feedback to parents from staff. 100% recommended.

Overall Experience

I’m very grateful I found this nursery and chose to send my youngest child here, I’ve used a few nurseries and childminders over the years as my older two were growing up and this is without a doubt the best. The staff are amazing, the whole environment feels like a home away from home and they always put the well-being of the children above all else, as well as being there and supporting the rest of the family as well. My older two love coming with me to pick the youngest up because they love seeing all the staff as well. Excellent in every way, I couldn’t ask for better people to be looking after my child.

The nursery has a lovely warm, welcoming feeling as you walk through the door. The staff are amazing! All the staff know my child's name whether they are in his room or not, they are so informative and positive. A wonderful nursery that I highly recommend.

Review from Emma M (Mother of Child) published on 18 January 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My child has settled very well at nursery, which is saying something for how mardy she is! She seems to enjoy nursery very much, I've never had any problems booking extra sessions and my older son even attends during the school holidays and although shy on arrival, he also enjoys attending.
All staff I have met have been very friendly and professional. My only niggle would be that in the past, I feel that staff working in my child's room changed quite regularly in the first few months, I had no idea who her key worker was, but I believe that can be put down to general changes that have taken place over the nursery in recent months. I know now who her key worker is but it would have been helpful if I was notified or made aware at the time of any changes because at times, it was confusing. In saying that, my mum picks up so I'm only there on a Thursday and Friday morning which is not the best for communicating!

Overall, I love the nursery and my children seem to have lots of fun.

Kadie Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2018
Kadie

Hello, my name is Kadie Clarke and I joined Children 1st in 2018. I started my journey as an apprentice and gained my Level 3 qualification in 2021. Over the years, I’ve worked in three of our nurseries, developing my skills through a variety of roles, which led to my current position as Nursery Manager here at Hathern.

I have a real passion for supporting children in their growth and development. I love watching them progress and providing exciting activities and opportunities to help them learn new skills and grow in confidence.

I’m especially passionate about being part of our local community. Here at Children 1st @ Hathern, we love bringing families together through fun days and stay-and-play sessions — it’s so rewarding to see everyone enjoying themselves and building connections. I’m also proud of the inclusive and welcoming environment we offer, where activities and opportunities are tailored to meet the needs of every individual child and family.
