My daughter has been at the Denmead setting since they opened and absolutely loves it, as do I. Staff are all friendly and really give off that family vibe, so much so that my daughter calls for some of the staff when she is upset at home. I love getting the weekly updates & pictures, and the outings they've started doing are so sweet, something for the kids to get extra excited for. They're always doing such creative activities anyway. I'm a big fan of mixed age children in one room, I really feel like that progresses my child's development...learning from her older friends, and learning how to be careful with her younger friends. My daughter almost runs through the doors without even saying bye to me some days because she can't wait to get in there and get involved in whatever they're doing that day. Cannot reccomend them enough, I know my daughter is in great hands there, and the amount of fun she has makes me feel less guilty about working.

My little boy has been going to First Friends at Denmead since June. He absolutely loves his 3 days a week. When we ask him are you going to nursery today he says yes and does a little happy dance - what more could you want. He loves all the teachers and gets excited to see them & see what exciting activities they have planned. His development has come on leaps and bounds and that's because of the time and care they put into each child. Thank you first friends

I can not thank you enough to the staff of Denmead first friends for being so caring and understanding with my daughter recently my daughter has not been so much herself recently and the staff have made her feel so much more comfortable and spending time with her for example when she is sitting by herself in book corner a member of staff will sit with her to make her still feel like she is apart of the group. Makes me as a mother feel so at ease that she isn't alone and they always keep me up to date with what's going on so grateful to the staff.

Our daughter has been at first friends now since September and her development and engagement since starting has been a delight to see and this is all down to the wonderful and caring staff / key workers at the Nursery. She is so excited to go every day and seeing her so comfortable and happy is all any parent wants to see. The activities are fantastic and I love to see all the photo updates as well. Thank you so much First Friends :)

The team at First Friends have been a brilliant support for our son as he has settled into nursery life. We are pleased to see regular photos and updates with all the fun and adventures he is having! It's been lovely to see him grow in confidence and build friendships as he has become familiar with the staff and other children.

We couldn't be more impressed with first friends. The activities are brilliant, different each day and child centred. The staff are warm and welcoming. I would recommend first friends 100% We have found the managers easy to talk too and always very helpful.

I just wanted to say a big thank for helping my boys settle so well. You offer so much at your nursery. I know both are in good and safe hands. The activities and outdoor play area is amazing and the boys are thriving at this setting. Thank you for all the lovely healthy meals that are provided. Amazing nursery, we couldn't be happier!

Our little one has been at First Friends for 2 weeks and I cannot believe the difference in his behaviour since moving him from another nursery. He is always super happy to go in and we cannot thank the team enough for welcoming us to this lovely place. He tells us all the time how much of a fun day he has had. The best decision we have made for him and us. Thank you all.

Even though my daughter has only been at Denmead for a month and she absolutely loves it. She runs in every day and on some days without a 'goodbye' for mummy or daddy. The care and warmth she receives have already made such a difference in her confidence. I'm so grateful to the manager and her colleagues for creating such a nurturing and fun environment. They are all so amazing!

My daughter attends Denmead for friends. I love it, its a beautiful setting and she is so happy. The staff especially The Manager and her colleague are so lovely, caring and loving which is all I want. Our daughter is always happy to see them and I think all the staff work so hard! I wouldn't want her to be anywhere else right now. The staff make it!

First friends Denmead has been the perfect setting in the area for our daughter. All members of staff adhere to professional practices, and discussions on allergies do not phase them. The children enjoy a good range of activities and outdoor play, which is seen in regular updates on the app and fb page. I'm very happy with the progress in learning my daughter is receiving and happy faces all round! Thank you for creating such a wonderful environment. Superstars!!
