It is a happy, fun and welcoming environment. They do some some wonderful activities and my daughter is thriving here. I would highly recommend it.

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.
