At Maggie’s the team believe that every child deserves a nurturing and stimulating environment where they can play, grow, learn, and thrive. Children should spend as much time as possible in the great outdoors being nurtured with nature, feeling free to run and explore vibrant, natural spaces. That’s why at Maggie’s they seize every opportunity to be outside, with children frequently enjoying the forest school, alfresco dining and outdoor sleeping.

Review from Daniel L (Father of Child) published on 24 September 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter absolutely loves the nursery and all the staff, she always talks about her carers and friends, and what she's been up to. Staff always take the time to tell us what's she's been doing each day and they're great at keeping us up to date with her development. Since Children 1st took over the nursery, the facilities and equipment available to the children are second to none and they've really made the most of the building and surrounding grounds to make a fun and engaging environment for them. We particularly like their forest school and how they encourage outdoor activity. We would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.

Overall Experience

This nursery is excellent. Leaving your child in the care of others is a hard thing but I leave each morning knowing my child is happy, loved and safe. My child has blossomed under the care, it is worth every penny.

Review from Debra B (Grandmother of Child) published on 18 August 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Both my grandchildren attend Children 1st @ Oakwood Day Nursery. Since Children 1st have taken over, my grandchildren have enjoyed coming to nursery and now get upset when leaving. To me, this proves how much fun they are having so much fun. They are learning more and more each week and have made amazing relationships with staff and their peers. The staff at the nursery work really hard to make sure the children enjoy their day. They are friendly and always happy to help. The management team are lovely and you can really tell that the whole team are there not only for the children but parents as well. If you are thinking of a nursery that feels like a home I would defiantly recommend it!

Overall Experience

The staff at Children 1st @ Oakwood have worked really hard to help my very shy son to settle into the nursery and have offered ideas and tried new things to help my son to communicate whilst at nursery. I have also found the management staff to be helpful and understanding during our transition from one nursery to Children 1st @ Oakwood.

Overall Experience

I have two daughters that attend Children’s 1st @ Oakwood. I have seen both my girls form brilliant bonds with their key carers and grow as individuals. They both love coming to nursery and when they are back at home, my oldest is always asking if tomorrow is nursery day! The staff are lovely, welcoming and will always go the extra mile. It’s a brilliant nursery and I would definitely recommend if you want a nursery with a good family feel to it.

Review from Emma C (Mother of Child) published on 1 December 2020 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Children 1st have only just taken over our nursery and so far I am very impressed! From day one, the owners were there to meet us in reception, lots of work has been done to improve the nursery. We now also get information about what our children are doing on a weekly basis and home learning activities. Very impressed with Children 1st's approach!

Reply from Margaret Mason OBE., CEO /founder at Maggie's Nursery

Thank you for your lovely review. We care very much that we are trusted with your children. Our staff teams and ourselves hope each day is always a special one for our little ones.

Overall Experience

Our daughter goes in and leaves nursery a very happy little girl. The staff are lovely and friendly and give great, informative feedback at pick up time. It has a great outside space for our little one to play and explore, which she does every day, rain or shine. We have no regrets with our choice of nursery. Our daughter loves it and she is very well cared for.
