Excellent nursery for my 2-year-old daughter. The nursery is fantastic, they are brilliant and I would definitely recommend them. My daughter only attends the nursery for two full days a week but asks every morning if she is going nursery, she loves it. They have a great outside space and spend...
The staff are lovely, so friendly, my daughter always talks about her room leaders and has a lovely bond with them all.

The care from all the staff to the children is amazing.
Communication is great and always keep up to date with what the children are learning and how they are developing.
I honestly can’t rate this nursery enough; I know I made the right decision to go to this nursery, as my daughter asks me daily if she can go nursery.
Thank you for all you do for our children!
Very clean/tidy nursery and I love how each class is sectioned off with there own space to play outside with plenty of indoor and outdoor activities. My child was a lockdown child so was very anxious around other people other than myself and her father but since...
Very clean/tidy nursery and I love how each class is sectioned off with there own space to play outside with plenty of indoor and outdoor activities. My child was a lockdown child so was very anxious around other people other than myself and her father but since going to this nursery her confidence and personality have improved massively and she looks forward to going to nursery. Whenever there is an issue, I always address it and it is dealt with straight away in a professional manner. Definitely recommend this nursery to anyone, especially new parents who are anxious to leave there child when they return back to work.

Our son absolutely loves his nursery days! He is always so happy to go and always comes out super happy! The room that he attends, the staff are super attentive and he is always learning and doing new things! He often comes home and says how much he loves Miss *name*! I cannot recommend highly enough, both of our boys have attended this nursery and I cannot fault anything! They are always accommodating and will always inform us of any illnesses going around the nursery! Our little boy always talks about the foods that he’s eaten, and always comes out with a full tummy! He eats everything from breakfast to tea time! He often tells me about the fruits he eats and then loves a little snack bag at the end of his day when he leaves nursery! We love Children’s 1st and how much our children have learnt!
My daughter loves coming to the nursery as there are so many areas for her to play and interact with.
Would definitely recommend the nursery to anyone.

We have had nothing but exceptional service from Children 1st @ Syston. The staff are very helpful, knowledgeable and patient. You always worry about entrusting your children to strangers, but from our first visit and tour of the nursery, we were put at ease with their pleasant staff, good staff-to-child ratios, excellent clean facilities and focus on meeting the child's individual needs. When our child moved from one age group to the next they made his transition smooth and easy. Our son has had issues with eating and speaking in general, the nursery assistants have gone above and beyond in putting measures in place to help him and keep us informed about his progress. We couldn't recommend them enough.
I love this nursery. I feel safe with my child going here, they look after him so well and he’s so happy too. Lovely staff members and the chef cooks some good food my son tells me every time he has some good food. Loves their dinners.

My daughter has attended nursery since being 9 months old and she loves it here and has made several friends! It is such a friendly environment when entering the building. I couldn’t recommend Children 1st Nursery in Syston enough.

Both my girls have and still attend the Syston Children 1st Nursery and we are very happy with the staff and the information we receive in terms of their development. The staff are very welcoming; from the key workers, chef and management on the front desk.

Our child loves nursery and that couldn't have happened without the wonderful staff at Children 1st, Syston. The care and attention they put into the activities and looking after our child is superb. Couldn't rate them high enough.

The nursery itself is spotless, a fantastic environment for all age groups. Food is amazing, the girls in the kitchen are such a wonderful team. My boy went here five mornings a week for three years, now my little girl has been here since she’s been 10 weeks old and will continue to go here until she starts school. My children absolutely love it and so do I. It’s by far the best nursery in Leicester. I am so pleased with it.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with the staff at our Syston setting. The team will be thrilled to know how valued they are and I look forward to sharing this review with them.

An amazing nursery with brilliant staff. My daughter is currently in early years and has been with Children 1st @ Syston Day Nursery since January 2022! The best nursery and have felt comfortable with leaving my daughter in the care of the wonderful staff. Her development since starting has been outstanding and I can not recommend this place enough. There is so much for the children to do on a day-to-day basis and one-to-one support is incredible.
The staff are outstanding at Children 1st @ Syston Day Nursery. They are caring and loving towards the children. Both my daughter and my son have adored each and every staff member that has looked after them. Facilities and garden are great too, couldn't recommend it enough.

We have three children who attend this nursery setting and our eldest is soon to be leaving for school. He’s spent the last 4 years of his life coming twice a week and choosing Children 1st at Syston has been one of the best decisions we’ve made for him. He has received the best care right from day one, the level of support and attention has never wavered and he’s absolutely thrived into a confident, happy, creative boy who is now totally ready for school. Our twin daughters have not been going for long but have settled in brilliantly and knowing how challenging it can be with twins makes me admire the love and dedication they show for our two. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to all the wonderful staff who take such good care of our children and make leaving them bearable. You do a fantastic job and we appreciate it beyond words.
