Maggie's Nursery

My children fully enjoy their time here! Always a different activity to take part in, various rooms and areas to explore - the tinkering room, music room, baking room, math room, art area, construction area, huge garden, and of course the amazing forest. Children are involved in animal care and my children absolutely adore the goats! The staff are great! A 5-star nursery all around!

Henry loves going to nursery. He talks about all his teachers and lots of the wonderful things he gets up to at nursery. He gets to experience a wide range of activities from forest school to baking.

I am so blessed my son has his place here and I cannot recommend Children 1st enough, love it as much as my boy does, thank you so much every one.

I would never not recommend Children 1st. I know my child is a better person for being in such a supportive environment.

Fantastic nursery with outstanding facilities. The staff are friendly and helpful and my daughter absolutely loves it at this nursery. Would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a nursery in the area.

Five out of five throughout.

It can feel quite daunting when you first drop them off but the staff are brilliant and my son adores them all. It really is home from home.

All staff are so kind, supportive and lovely. The additional needs of my child are met with smiles. Their venue is outstanding and additional activities are rather impressive too. Communication is fantastic and we are regularly updated with our child’s progress. Very positive experience with this nursery, highly recommend!

Top nursery and very well managed. We love the staff and the outdoor space. We had such an amazing development with both our children since the start of this nursery. Staff are always there to help you with any request and always give feedback. Thank you.

It's a stunning building and grounds, well thought out, and the children who experience the facilities, such as the forest, are incredibly lucky! Everything is high quality and children-centred. It's the best learning environment I have seen. The activities are creative, interactive, fun, and thank you for putting on special events for parents to attend. The potty training and behaviour workshops were incredibly helpful. Everyone works so hard and it feels like a community, even amongst the other parents. Thank you to all the staff, who are second to none, and who I trust wholeheartedly with my daughter. I just wish she could stay longer, say until she is 18?

(On a separate note, the car park and busy road makes getting in and out challenging; I've seen a couple of car accidents.)

We are really pleased with Children's 1st, the staff genuinely care about the children. The environment is second to none and our daughter has come on loads since going here. She absolutely loves spending time in the forest school and with the animals.

We have seen such a positive change in our child since he started nursery. His development has really improved. The staff are always so kind and caring, and we feel comfortable that he is receiving the best care.

Very happy with our nursery choice and feel confident that my little one is being well looked after.

I cannot recommend Children's 1st Oakwood enough as a childcare setting. Every single staff member has gone above and beyond to support us and our children, since our very first day with them. The setting itself is outstanding, with amazing resources, and the children genuinely love the nursery and their key workers.

Where to begin? What an incredible nursery! The staff go absolutely above and beyond and the facilities are unreal!

My little boy started here at nursery age in 2019. My experience has been beautiful. It's like watching a caterpillar sprout into a butterfly. It has been an amazing journey watching my son thrive and grow into the creative, clever, happy little boy he is. On all occasions management and nursery staff have been highly supportive and understanding, staff have always encouraged positive and creative learning outcomes for my child. I would suggest from my experience they should all be highly recognised for promoting different ways of learning to support each individual's needs. They have always provided effective communication between parents, staff and children. I am so very thankful that my child spent these years at this Nursery. Thank your for giving my son educational skills and the practical experience to allow him to positively move into his next chapter at school. Thank you so much. Highly recommended. My son attended from 2019 to 2023.

Our daughter started nursery in January at Children 1st @ Oakwood and she has loved every minute. The facilities and activities available to the children are second to none and she really connects with her key worker. We have been really happy with the ongoing observations and feedback we receive and that is reflected by the big smile our daughter gives us when we pick her up. We are very happy to have chosen this brilliant nursery.

The facilities are absolutely fantastic, and we can't wait to see her progress and develop through the different stages.

Overall, an excellent nursery which I feel proud to have chosen for my daughter

It’s a modern-style building that has everything you would need for your child to grow and develop.
