Children 1st Bilborough Nursery School

I'm so glad we picked Children 1st @ Bilborough.

My son started at Children 1st @ Bilborough Autumn 2019. I was initially worried at first with him being quite shy and reserved but the nursery definitely knew how to bring him out of his shell. Within a few weeks, he was confident of his numbers and his alphabet and I was beyond pleased with this! After lockdown 2020, I was a little reluctant to send him back but after consideration, I thought it was for the best and I was not wrong. The staff have been so helpful ensuring safety measures at the nursery and I feel confident my little boy is in safe hands. He even asks to go on the days he doesn’t attend! The staff are marvellous and I couldn’t praise them more. I am so happy with his learning and development. I would highly recommend this nursery. 10/10 5 stars.

Very pleased with my decision to send my daughter here and would 100% recommend to anyone!

I would highly recommend this nursery, absolutely brill!

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery to anybody. The facilities and staff are far superior to any other nursery I have visited and the manager is approachable and fair.

Fantastic nursery, my little boy loves school and the staff are great with the children and keep parents informed on how their child has been during the day. My son has made lots of progress since joining this nursery.

My daughter started this nursery at 9 months old, I was worried about her starting nursery however the staff are great here and the baby room is lovely. I had many settling visits and reassurance from the staff. She settled in quickly and loves going now. One nursery nurse, in particular, is great but so are all the staff here thank you.

My son currently attends nursery in bobtails, (almost 2) he loves running into the nursery and is regularly shouting the staff from the car on the way to nursery. I am happy leaving him at nursery as the parents' app keeps me up to date with his goings-on. He goes to nursery happy and also leaves happy. His development has come on massively thanks to his keyworkers and coworkers. He is now a huge chatterbox and his language and understanding are amazing. He always comes home having learnt something new each day. I would recommend this nursery for all ages. I intend to keep him here until he has to leave to go to full-time school. I cannot fault the staff who are so attentive. My son always has a home-cooked, warm meal at dinner time and a fulfilling tea. He is always happy when we collect him and is always busy doing something. The daily diaries are ideal for when I can’t collect, so I know what he has spent his day doing. The manager is always on hand to answer any queries you have and this gives me peace of mind.

From visiting the nursery for a look around with my twins, I instantly felt a warm, friendly and welcoming atmosphere from the nursery and staff. When having a look around the nursery, the manager talked me through the ins and outs of the nursery and was more than happy to answer any questions I had, which was reassuring. My twins have now been in the nursery for four weeks and there is nothing I can fault the nursery on. My children thoroughly enjoy attending the nursery daily. They have only been going to the nursery a short period of time and I can already see progress in their development. Both the staff and management are always happy and welcoming. They’re also more than happy to listen to any issues, questions or requests I have. My children are extremely fond of their teachers and often talk about them at home.

The facilities at the nursery are always Clean and tidy. They have a huge, well equipped playing space indoors and outdoors.

I would definitely recommend this nursery

I can't fault this nursery or the staff - it's fantastic in every way. My daughter couldn't be happier and has a favourite teacher. Thank you all.

I’m so happy with the choice I made to put my child in this nursery, at first my daughter was very timid with not a lot of confidence but she quickly came out of her shell and now absolutely loves attending children’s 1st. She loves all of the staff, and often speaks of the friends she’s made.

Great nursery for a developing baby and toddler. A good variety of activates on offer. Friendly polite and welcoming staff.

My child literally loves going to nursery - they even ask on the weekend if they are going nursery today. All the staff are amazing and my child adores them all. The staff always tell me what my child has been up to and what they have had for lunch. The meals that the chef cooks always sound delicious and my child loves having lunch at nursery. The nursery is always clean and tidy. My child walks into the nursery with a smile and leaves at the end of the day with a smile. I would highly recommend this nursery.

The staff are very polite, welcoming and friendly and my child settled in very quickly in the nursery. She has been very happy and has made a lot of progress since moving here from her previous nursery setting. My child made friends quickly and has a good relationship with the staff members. They pass the information about each child and encourage the children to talk about their day. The staff have been very supportive of my child's needs and I am very happy with the care she receives. The nursery was recommended from my friends and I have been very happy and have recommended the nursery to others myself.

My 21-month-old son currently attends the Children 1st nursery in Bilborough and I think it’s just brilliant. The staff are fab, we get updates regularly via the app informing us what he’s been up to and get a full handover every time we pick him up. Compared to other nurseries I’ve seen (both in Nottingham and also in London) the facilities and equipment and toys here are great. So much variety and opportunity for imaginative and creative play and learning. My son attends only a couple of half-days per week, but even that short time is giving him a great opportunity to learn and develop social skills (plus come home with some new dance moves which we’ve definitely not taught him - haha). I’d thoroughly recommend this to any parent seeking a nursery for their toddler.

Since beginning nursery, our little boy has learnt so much and settled in really well thanks to caring staff and their flexibility. We were initially worried about how he would settle but he now strolls into nursery himself with so much confidence. He always has lots of fun and new activities to do and we love hearing how he is getting on through the app.

My daughter is very happy schooling with this nursery. She wakes up early every day and prepares for school. This shows that she is so excited and happy with all the teachers and the environment. I am happy for her development. I can't thank the nursery staff enough. May they continue with this spirit.

I love reading her diary at the end of the day knowing what her days have been like and love reviews on eylog about her whilst I'm at work. I couldn't be happier with the level of care.

When dropping her off she now marches off into the rooms with just a quick wave and smiles back at me! Her development has come on leaps and bounds since she has been going here. I can’t praise the staff here enough they are so attentive and have kept me informed of everything my daughter gets up too. Fantastic nursery!

The staff are really good. My son has made great progress and he loves his teachers.
