Maggie's Nursery

The facilities are amazing, which makes me feel less guilty for having to leave him while I work since I know he’s genuinely having so much fun learning and exploring.

Honestly cannot fault the nursery at all, since my child has been going she has come on leaps and bounds. I’ve highly recommended the nursery to all my friends who have kids in the nursery already or are pregnant and they agree after viewing the nursery no other nursery even compares!

Children 1st @ Oakwood is an outstanding nursery, our daughter is thriving here and often declares “I love nursery”. The nursery catered to our daughter’s milk intolerance which has now overcome. The staff are friendly and there are plenty of activities for the children. The forestry with all the animals is unparalleled when it comes to what other nurseries are offering in the area. I also like the events that the nursery put on which gives parents the opportunity to visit and speak with staff.

Excellent, knowledgeable, kind and caring staff. My daughter loves attending nursery and would go every day if she could. Such a comfort when you know you’re leaving your child with such lovely people and when you know your child is so happy.

My daughter is on long-term medication and I have had no issues with this being given to her which really gives me peace of mind.

I highly recommend the nursery and the team!

We couldn’t be happier with our nursery choice. The nursery staff are all so friendly and have been extremely supportive since our daughter started. She has built so much confidence since joining through the encouragement of her key workers and the beautiful safe environment she’s in. Thank you to everyone at Children 1st @ Oakwood for all that you do.

Children 1st @Oakwood is absolutely brilliant. The staff are so welcoming and supportive of individual needs. The range of activities is amazing and the outdoor area and facilities and forest school are absolutely amazing.

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.
