Children 1st Bilborough Nursery School

Our child has been at this nursery for just under a year. In that time all of the staff, from key workers to reception staff, have demonstrated a wonderful level of care and friendliness, and have helped our child to increase in confidence. They have truly taken the time to get to know our child as an individual. Communication, activities and resources are all excellent, and they cater to our child's dietary requirements. We would recommend this nursery to anyone.

She is progressing so nicely. It's amazing to see how happy she is to go to school as we call it. They do alot of crafts, which I like, and she plays outside alot.

Wow, what can I say, what an absolutely wonderful nursery this is. Absolutely amazing staff, amazing work and amazing support. I can't say anything bad about this nursery. 1000%would recommend the nursery to anyone.

My son started Children 1st in December 2020. He still attends and absolutely loves it. He has been taken care of to the highest standards, and his needs have been met, whether this has been emotionally or physically. I have never had a problem where I have had to communicate with the nursery. All the staff are hands-on and extremely helpful. I would highly recommend Children 1st to anyone thinking of sending their child to a nursery. Thank you all at Beechdale Road!

Thank you to all the staff for all they do!

My 2-year-old daughter has attended this nursery since January and is currently attending. Since attending, her speech has come on so well; she’s able to express her emotions and communicate her needs much more easily. She has reached all her milestones and then some. She is learning key values, and her behaviour is improving at home also. The staff have been nothing short of amazing with her; they are patient caring and supportive. The communication within the nursery is great; I am informed of any issues right away. The nursery is clean, well-kept and looked after. I wouldn’t send my children anywhere else. Fab Nursery, keep up the hard work to all staff.

As a first-time mummy! And all the stress that comes with it. I remember choosing her first “safe place “ (nursery) for my little girl! Have to admit, it was very stressful especially since mummy had to go to work and had to leave my baby for so many hours..! But without any stress, I have to admit it, this nursery gave me peace of mind! My daughter loves going there! The staff are the most amazing people I ever met! And on top it of my daughter is autistic! Yes, she is! So her needs are even more complicated, but in this place, she gets ever and more! Thank you from the bottom of my heart - thank you, thank you, thank you.

Friendly and welcoming staff - reception is always there to greet you with a good morning.

It's been fabulous that my kid is enjoying his nursery at Children's 1st. We were initially worried about joining him at the age of 9 months, but never looked back on the decision to join him here. Caring caretakers and well-maintained environment. They are also well supportive for special care if any, to food or any others. One particular member of staff has been exceptionally good at her job, and my boy loves spending time with her and all the other caretakers. It's been a good six months with them and happy with the services. The only one concern we have is that my kid gets sick very often, and it is not probably on the nursery but rather his age and climate at the moment. Hopefully, my kid will continue to enjoy his stay here.

Thank you all.

Very welcoming and warming nursery. Good relationship in terms of how they share everything with us that is going on with our child. They have an app in which we get updates which makes it easier to communicate with the nursery. The staff, especially one lady in the baby room, makes me feel so at ease leaving my baby - she started when she was nine months old, and she will happily go into the room without any tears.

The gardens are excellent and the setting is really good and pleasant. My son has come on leaps and bounds, and his confidence has grown massively; now I can leave him at nursery without him getting upset.

The nursery itself has so many rooms and different activities for the children based on age group.

My child started in January, and the staff helped hugely with helping my child settle in. They take their time to communicate with you about your child’s day as well as having a diary that you can also write in. My child enjoys coming to nursery, he enjoys learning and loves the activities they have. The outdoor space is great too. I’m glad I enrolled my child here.

My daughter has been attending this nursery since she was ten months old, she is now four. From the very beginning, I felt confident leaving my daughter here. The staff have supported her learning throughout, in fun and positive ways. The nursery itself is always very clean and well set out. All of the different classes have access to a garden/outside area, which was an important factor for me. The meals they serve are healthy and well-balanced. Most importantly, my daughter is happy and thriving here. I would recommend this nursery to any parent.

As a parent, entrusting my child to Children's 1st @ Bilborough, I can wholeheartedly say that my mind is at ease every time my son steps foot into the nursery. The staff here are not just caregivers; they are brilliant individuals who prioritise the well-being and development of each child. From the moment we enrolled, their professionalism and warmth have been consistently remarkable. It's evident that they genuinely care about the children under their care, fostering an environment where kids feel safe, valued and encouraged to explore and learn. I couldn't be more grateful for the peace of mind they provide, knowing my child is in such capable and caring hands. Children's 1st @ Bilborough is truly a gem in nurturing young minds.

One of the best nurseries. I've enrolled both my children at Children 1st @ Bilborough in 2022. I do have a car and can travel whatever distance for the right reason and for me, quality childcare is a very important reason. I've visited seven other nurseries, prior to this one and the reasons I chose this nursery were: good, quiet location, safety as the access to the premises is made via locked gates, big, bright rooms with lots of natural light, children-friendly rooms with lots of toys/play areas without being too crowded, all rooms have access to beautiful outdoor gardens where children can play, even in hot and sunny/rainy days as all gardens have a covered area, healthy meals cooked fresh every day. Reasons why I still strongly recommend this nursery: amazing staff in all rooms, as my son started in baby room. I always thought my children were supported, encouraged, never rushed and understood, both developed well in terms of communication, skills, confidence, imagination and learning abilities.

Since both my children started this setting, it has been nothing but an overall amazing experience. All the staff members are professional, kind and appear to have the children's needs at the centre of their practice. My children have developed tremendously since beginning the nursery. They have amazing relationships with the staff members. Thank you for providing my children with the best opportunities to develop and thank you for the outstanding care you provide from day to day!

Thanks for all that you do, God bless.

My son started at the Bilborough Nursery back in September 2023. Since starting, they have not only made my son feel at ease and welcomed but myself also. The staff supported us both during the settling-in period which reassured me tremendously. My son settled in within a week, and he absolutely loves going to nursery every day which shows me that he is very well taken care of. My son has an allergy to dairy and is quite restricted with his diet due to this, and the nursery and the staff have been wonderful and extremely careful to assure that his dietary needs are met but also that he is not at risk in any way. They communicate very well, and I find their policy and procedures really do help support this! I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent when looking at a place that can provide support, comfort and education to their child. My son has come on leaps and bounds since starting in this nursery and the care and time they take to engage with him really does show.
