They are clearly knowledgeable, dedicated, and genuinely caring.
The office staff are equally friendly and professional. Communication is good.
One suggestion would be to use the app more for sharing observations and the learning journey (although I believe they are heading this way with recent changes). Maybe consider using it for daily updates and handovers.
The premises are clean, inviting, and happy. I love the outside area!
It was clearly the right choice for us, and I recommend it :)
I can definitely say Our Child is well looked after since she first started children's 1st. Our child has also made friends with other children. Good Vibes all the way!
The nursery has been so flexible with attendance too, which we really appreciate.
There are just a couple of things that I think can be improved from my point of view. One is the breakfast - I wish they had something else and not cornflakes, or shreddies every day. And it would be great if we get more updates in the app on what our kids did during the day/week, especially the older ones. I feel we don't get as much information on what they do on a daily basis, as we do for the little ones.
Other than that, the nursery is great and the staff is great, always willing to help!
This nursery has a very happy atmosphere and where learning is conducted in a fun environment with lots of activities to improve upon all their basic skills from academic to well being, sharing and caring, building confidence and self esteem.
My grand-daughter loves this place, loves all the staff members, loves her friends she has made (many) with the only time she is saddened is when she is unwell and cannot attend.
I praise all the efforts the whole nursery make, working together as a team to make everyone feel welcome.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear how happy your granddaughter is and how much she enjoys coming to nursery. It's fantastic to know that she feels supported, builds great friendships, and is having fun while learning. Your kind words about our team mean a lot.
My Daughter has attended this nursery since she was 1 years old & will soon be going onto School in September - the staff here have helped with her development & confidence & she is always happy to attend - & most importantly I feel she is safe & looked after well in my absence which makes leaving her for work a little easier
Thank you so much for your lovely words! It's been a joy watching your daughter grow in confidence and develop during her time with us. We're so pleased she's happy and feels safe here-that means the world to us. Wishing her all the best as she gets ready for school!

Thank you so much for your amazing feedback! We're thrilled to hear how well your son is doing and how much progress he's made since starting with us. Your kind words about the team and the nursery mean a lot thank you.
My daughter has been attending this nursery for a year now and she couldn't be happier. She enjoys coming each day and has built relationships with the staff there. All the staff are amazing in each of the different rooms so you never have to worry when your child moves up a room because the standard of care they receive is consistent throughout the nursery. The setting is bright, colourful and clean and you instantly feel welcomed. The food menus are fantastic and the staff feedback each day is really appreciated. I have transitioned to working full time since my daughter started and the staff really helped me with the hours, fees and all of the details I was worried about. My daughter now attends every day from 8-5 and she is doing brilliantly thanks to the amazing staff. The staff are also great at helping my daughter with her confidence, her speech and potty training. My older 2 sons attended this nursery too and having looked at other nurseries in the area there is no comparison!
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! It's fantastic to hear how happy and settled your daughter is, and we're so pleased to have supported you through her transition and your return to full-time work. Knowing you've trusted us with all three of your children means the world to us! We truly appreciate your kind words.
Great nursery! Helped my little boy develop so much since he started here in 2023, he loves all the staff and children and always comes home with a smile on his face. Would definitely recommend to anybody.
Thank you for your lovely feedback! We're so happy to hear how much your little boy has developed and that he loves his time with us. It's wonderful to know he goes home with a smile! Thank you for recommending us.
Our daughter started at Children's 1st Bilborough in September and absolutely loves it. They have great facilities with lots of outdoor space. All the staff are warm and caring. They are quick to address any issues that emerge.
Thank you for your lovely feedback! We're so pleased to hear your daughter is loving her time at Children's 1st Bilborough. It's great to know you're happy with our care from our team.
Along with that we are updated with the observations along with his pictures twice a month.
That gives us an understanding on what he is learning etc.
All the staff know him by name and greet him with a smile. They take care of him very well. He learnt many rhymes there and tries to read books like he can already read.
What else can parent ask for?
I am very glad that I chose this nursery for my little one.

I highly recommend this nursery; our daughter attended from 2023-2024 and from the exceptional experience she had within her time here, we also made the decision to put our son in this nursery too, since starting he is loving it and has fantastic staff looking after him who I can't speak highly enough about them; they are friendly and very professional and are just brilliant at what they do! we always receive a handover of how our son as been in the day, it's so nice to hear rather than just generic answers that you may receive elsewhere. Our son absolutely loves it, and is thriving and the additional confidence he is growing since starting here is really showing, he looks forward to coming to nursery and is always eager to go in. From the moment you enter the nursery you find it very warming from reception staff, to nursery nurse staff right to the management team. Thank you all so much for being so fabulous at what you do!
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words!

Knowing he's thriving and growing in confidence means the world to us! We really appreciate your lovely comments about our team.
It took him a while to settle in due to him being with me all the time previous to starting, however he's now finally found his feet and loves attending. The staff are amazing, welcoming and very friendly. He has so much fun playing and meeting new friends. Thank you Children's 1st. Would highly recommend this nursery.

Thank you for your lovely review! We're so happy to hear how much your son has developed and that he loves coming to nursery. Our staff truly appreciate your kind words, and we're thrilled to be part of his journey!
My little boy started in September, he's normally really shy and really struggles with new places he goes to that he doesn't know, after a few weeks of starting here he'd walk in with a big smile on his face & I have no issues with taking him now. he even wants to go in days he's not in! He absolutely loves all of the staff two staff in particular being his favourite! His speech has came on so much better since starting here also!
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're so pleased to hear that your little boy has settled in so well and is now excited to come in each day. It's wonderful to know that he feels comfortable and happy with our team. Our staff are so dedicated, and it's great to see the positive impact they've had on his confidence. Thank you for sharing your experience with us!
I highly recommend, my daughter is very happy when attending this nursery, the care and education she receives is excellent. My youngest daughter will start attending soon too and I have my mind at ease.
As a mother of 2. One of which has severe additional needs, finding a nursery that matched my high expectations when we relocated was a top priority. I visited several in the local area however, my decision was relatively easy and I couldn't imagine him being anywhere else.
I have nothing short of excellent things to say about this nursery. From the amazing staff being warm and welcoming (with lots of personality) to the signup process with the lovely reception staff being quick, easy and stress-free.
Let's not forget that the facilities are absolutely fantastic (in every single room)!
The rooms are cleverly designed and well-equipped for both play and learning. Making learning at all stages a priority and fun.
They provide a lovely menu and celebrate lots of events throughout the year!
My son’s speech, understanding of the world and knowledge have improved massively since joining. He looks forward to attending every morning and never wants to leave at pick-up.
1. The teachers are passionate about education and go above and beyond to support their pupils. They provide meaningful feedback that inspires the children to reach their full potential.
2. The facilities and resources enhance the learning experience for children. From well-equipped classrooms and safe extracurricular facilities/outside space, the school provides children with mostly everything they need to succeed in further learning and socially.
3. The sense of community is truly remarkable. Teachers/administrators work together collaboratively to create a supportive and inclusive environment where every child feels valued and respected. The school's commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion is evident in its policies, programs and initiatives.
Overall, our son's experience has been overwhelmingly positive, and we are grateful for the opportunities he has had to learn, grow, and thrive in such a nurturing and supportive environment. We do not doubt that the skills and values he has acquired will serve him well in his future endeavours. We want to extend our genuine gratitude to the management/staff, and everyone involved in making it the exceptional place of learning that it is for our son and other children. Your dedication and commitment to excellence have not gone unnoticed. We are proud to be a member of the Children 1st, community.
Thank you once again for everything you do for our son.
