Children 1st Bilborough Nursery School

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.

Best nursery I’ve seen in this area, clean and organised and has good friendly staff. Me and my daughter both took a long time to settle and were supported throughout the process. Children have new activities to do daily and develop a bond with their teachers. Also, you get updates about your child throughout the week.

Nursery was extremely supportive in helping us fill out paperwork for getting the government-funded thirty hours. Receptionist is always happy and friendly. Staff always give good feedback on day to day activities of the children.

I am very satisfied with the work and all the care that the nursery is providing with my daughter, I have seen and see up close the excellent work that the nursery does, they treat my daughter very well, and I trust her with my eyes closed. I'm very happy with how it has helped my daughter's development. Thank you to everyone on the team Children 1st @ Bilborough!

Our daughter has settled in so well here, she loves doing all the different activities and playing and singing. Since she started, her speech has come on amazing and as parents, we are both very happy with this choice. The staff here are all lovely and I take great comfort in knowing our little girl is very looked after here.

My son is attending this nursery since 2022 and he has been settled very well. Staff of the nursery are very cooperative and understanding. My son has speech difficulties and his key workers has been helping him through this. They have designed good activities for children specifically, on Christmas 2023 is coming and hopefully they will enjoy the events.

We love this nursery, my little boy only started going in September but his confidence has grown massively and he’s become such a kind little gentleman with the help of the nursery staff here. His key worker is very down to earth, supportive and warm hearted, she is very approachable and keeps us well informed of everything throughout his day. You walk into the building every morning to a Good morning and everyone says hello, it’s very welcoming! Everyone is so kind and caring! Definitely the best nursery around. My little one is definitely happy to go there and we are very confident with the nursery staff, doing the best for everyone there.

The wonderful staff provide a fun environment where my child is able to thrive. He is always so excited to go to nursery, which as a parent is always so reassuring.

My daughter has attended this nursery since she was 23 months. She was fully attracted to me as a pandemic baby and breastfed. She loves the place and they always make her feel better, even when I was trying to stop breastfeeding, and recently last year they helped me in a milestone with potty training. She's almost 4 years now. Also management were always supportive and will be so patient and understanding. I love this nursery and the great job that everyone is doing. Really appreciated. And will recommend it to everyone that I know.

My son has been attending the baby room for around three months now. He has come on loads thanks to the staff. He his happy when I drop off and collect him. Staff who are currently looking after my son have been amazing, really friendly and helpful.

Absolutely amazing nursery and the staff are second to none! My little boy's development has come on leaps and bounds since he started here last September. He always loves going to nursery here and is always so happy at collection. I never have any worries about his care and I couldn't wish for a better nursery to look after my child.

We had to remove our son from this nursery. They brought out someone else's child to us at pick up on one occasion and no action was taken, left our son in a soiled nappy on more than one occasion and when challenged on it, the previous manager said she felt our son was Autistic. Complete lies. There were many other issues but too many to mention. There are a couple of excellent staff there but also staff who mock and speak to children inappropriately from what we've personally seen. Our son didn't like going here and has come on leaps and bounds since leaving.

A massive thank you to all who have looked after her and given her the skills she needs to move onwards and upwards! To every member of the team from the baby room to Early Years - Thank You for all your support. You will be missed when we leave
