Children 1st Bilborough Nursery School

My daughter has come along fantastically, she has come out of her shell and made a lot of friends. The staff have had no issues with her and I can see she is taking off highly.

The nursery is local for us, during the time our son has attended he has grown to love going to nursery. The staff are very competent and professional which shines through every day. When they greet you with a smile, despite the hard times we are all going through, they continue to provide a balanced, educational day, making it possible for myself and my wife to continue going to work. We are very grateful to them and the company in general. The meals that he receives are top class.

My son has been attending Children 1st @ Bilborough since he was two and although a little reluctant at first, the staff were amazing at helping him settle in and now he absolutely loves going, in fact he wants to go all the time. His communication has come on so much, he’s such a clever boy and the comments about him are always super positive and that he’s a pleasure. He’s got such a kind nature and it comes across from his time at nursery. He always has lots to tell me about his time in nursery and is always very happy. The nursery is just lovely, is run so nicely and with lots of care and thought for all of the children and the parents, I really couldn’t be happier. Highly recommended from us as a family.

I absolutely love this nursery. My little girl has attended since September and I can't wait for my youngest to start in September. My daughter walks into every session happy and leaves full of smiles at the end of the day. She describes the staff as her friends and can't wait to tell them what she has done over the weekend. She is always learning something new and there is such a wide variety of activities. All of the staff are so friendly and the manager is so helpful. Overall it is an amazing nursery.

Our little man has been in this nursery now for around five months. He was eight months when we first took him and were a bit apprehensive that he’d spent his entire life in lockdown and hadn’t interacted with other babies of our friends and relatives. We needn’t have worried, he settled in so well and in all this time we’ve not had one set of tears at the door. Each morning he is greeted with a lovely smile from the staff and most of the time, they get a cheeky grin back. He seems to be getting on very well and the staff are great at working with us to help him develop, especially his co-worker. The range of food seems good, nutritious and the staff have been accommodating of our request for no refined sugar. Overall we’re very pleased and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to other parents.

I have nothing but love for the nursery. When my daughter was old enough to go into nursery I searched for the best nursery in the area and couldn't find one I liked and then this nursery opened up near my mum. Me and my mum took my daughter along to the open day and we fell in love straight away. Since my daughter has been there since she was two she has a really good rapport with all the staff and I love seeing how the staff act all happy when then see her and the other children, as though they are the teachers children. I have recommended this nursery to all my friends and family who have children at nursery age.

My daughter started this nursery after her previous nursery closed due to Covid-19. First day we came to visit the nursery and my daughter and we as a parents felt welcomed by the staff. Very nice atmosphere. My child is very happy when she is going to nursery and she wants to stay for twenty four hours. When it comes to teaching, her skills have improved such as writing and counting. She is in the preschool room and I’m very happy and confident she will be ready for her big school.

A lovely nursery and very welcoming. My little girl has settled in so fast and loved the staff. It's nice for a nursery to have male workers as it introduces more positive role models in my daughters life. The food menu is also exceptional, my child was such a fussy eater and now enjoys her dinners at nursery. Overall, a pleasant place for your child to learn and develop.

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.
