My daughter has thrived since being at Children 1st @ Syston, The Gables. She has always been very sociable and her social skills have only improved. Her interests are encouraged and we are always informed at the end of each day how well (or not!) she has eaten, the activities she has taken part in and what she has learned. She always leaves exhausted and talking about what she has been doing so we know she has been busy and happy!

My daughter attended Children 1st @ Syston, The Gables from age 1 in until she went to school and my son is now attending who is 3 years old. The girls are all lovely and most of the staff have been there for a number of years. They have given me support when my son struggled with speech and pointed me in the right direction to gain further advice. All the girls are fun and loving with my son in a professional manner, and we will miss them all when he goes off to school in September.
Very friendly, helpful and caring staff. I always feel that I have left my son in good hands and when I go to pick him up he doesn't want to come home.

Really caring staff who work with the child's individual developmental age. My daughter has shown attachment to all the carers that have looked after her. Staff are always very friendly and polite.

Hi, my name is Ellis, and I am the Nursery Manager here at Children 1st Syston.
With nearly five years of experience in early years education and a Level 3 Diploma in Childcare from Leicester College, I am passionate about helping children learn, grow and thrive during these important early years.
I am proud to lead a dedicated and caring team, and I believe in leading by example every day. We work closely with both parents and colleagues to ensure every child receives the support, encouragement and opportunities they need to reach their full potential.
What makes our nursery special is our strong sense of community. We build meaningful relationships with our families, take the time to understand each child's individual needs and create a nurturing environment where children feel safe, valued and confident to explore the world around them.
I would be delighted to meet you and your family for a tour and show you why Children 1st Syston could be the perfect place for the next chapter of your child's story.
