We couldn't be happier with our son's nursery! The staff is simply amazing! Caring, sweet and supportive (to our son and us as well! Especially during settling in!). When he first started we had just had a very bad experience with another nursery and the first day nursery really helped me and my son. I didn't think back then that I would have been able to trust another place but I was wrong! I'll never thank them enough for helping us in this delicate transition/moment of my and my son's life!

It's clear that the team at First Day Nursery is passionate about what they do, taking the time to understand each child's unique needs and fostering their growth in a supportive and encouraging way.

A wonderful nursery with fantastic opportunities for the children. Some highlights include regular excursions to local libraries, museums, shops, and parks. Visiting the Hospice (which the nursery shares the grounds of) and spending time with the elderly patients there, doing arts and crafts...
The staff are wonderful and extremely caring, they really go above and beyond to make the children feel happy and the parents feel comfortable leaving their children there. It's lovely to get daily diaries with photos of the children each day. No complaints!
Thank you for your wonderful feedback, it's been a great seeing your child develop at our nursery, appreciate the feedback on our regular excursions and staff.

We're really happy with the nursery and know our daughter is cared for, well-fed, naps well and has lots of fun! The staff are all great and we receive daily updates about what the children have been doing both in person at the end-of-day pick-up, as well as via an app the nursery uses to keep in touch with parents.
Each week children will be introduced to a particular theme, for example, the toddler room recently spent a week learning about the seasons and doing lots of creative activities involving painting/drawing etc. Sometimes the children bring their creations home at the end of the day which is lovely.
The children regularly use the outdoor play areas which are on-site and sometimes even go on trips to local playgrounds.
Appreciate you recognise the creative activities including painting/drawings and regular use of our outdoor play areas in addition to trips to local playgrounds.
Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to First Day Nursery for the incredible care and warmth they've extended to our son. From the age of 8 months to 15 months, this nursery provided him with a nurturing environment that consistently went beyond our expectations. Every day, we witnessed new milestones...
The staff's commitment to recognizing individual needs and the tailored approach to child growth is what truly made a difference. As circumstances lead us elsewhere, it's challenging to step away from such a positive space. The memories and valuable lessons our son has gained during his time at First Day will always be cherished. Our sincerest appreciation to the entire team for this invaluable chapter in our son's life.
Thank you for recognising the commitment and efforts of our staff in enabling new milestones for your child. We will also cherish the precious moments he was with us and wish you all the best for the future.

Our daughter has been going to First Day Nursery since September 2022 and we've been super pleased with our experience so far! The staff is excellent, friendly, always greeting us and the children with a big smile. They know all the children's names even if they aren't directly involved with them which makes the whole experience even more personable. The facilities are just what the kids need and the outdoor spaces with the fish pond are a wonderful addition for those sunny days.
Thank you for your lovely feedback, delighted that you're super pleased with your experience so far. It is also pleasing to hear your excellent views on our staff and our facilities. Once again thank you for taking the time in providing this wonderful feedback.

Our daughter has had a lovely time in this nursery and preschool. She has made some wonderful friends. She was very well looked after and entertained in the nursery with regular outside time and fun inside playing, but the preschool experience has been outstanding. She has done yoga, learned some Spanish and German, gone on park visits and visits to the hospice, learned to write her name and recognise her numbers and letters and been thoroughly prepared for school. The staff are universally kind and thoughtful and have really got to know the children. Our daughter is well prepared for school, and we are really going to miss First Day.
Thank you for sharing your positive experience at First Day Nursery. I'm delighted to learn that your child is prepared for the next stride in her educational journey. It has been an enriching experience having you and your family as valued members of the First Day Nursery community. I extend my best wishes to you all as you embark on the road ahead.
