My child loves this setting- the staff, food, play equipment and the environment which the staff create (home from home.) The staff know the children on an individual basis- make time to understand them and respond to needs as appropriate. The activities and focus' are fun, there are opportunities
for families to be involved and there is lots of variety to keep them all entertained! The setting always looks fab

We joined this nursery after moving to the area, and one of my biggest concerns was finding somewhere our child would feel as happy and secure. From the moment I walked into First Friends Nursery, I knew we had found it. The staff are exceptional, going above and beyond every day. The relationships
they build with the children are truly special, creating an environment where they feel safe, valued and genuinely cared for, which as a parent means everything. The facilities are fantastic, and the thought and creativity behind activities and themed days is exceptional. My son attends five days a week and absolutely loves it. He goes in happily each morning, and his key worker is often the highlight of our weekend conversations, which says it all.
His development has been a joy to watch. He is given the space and gentle guidance to explore, learn and grow, all while having so much fun. We feel incredibly lucky to have found such a special nursery. Thank you for reliably being brilliant!

First friends in Denmead is such an incredible nursery. All of the staff are amazing, they show such genuine care for the children. They are always arranging events and outings for the children, some of which include the parents as well. My child is always so happy to go into nursery and has a great
time. We will be sad when our child leaves for School this year, we wish he could stay longer. We can't thank First friends Denmead enough.

I could not be happier with Denmead nursery they honestly go above and beyond for the children and all the activities. going for walks In woods, taking them to schools to watch shows, and also doing stay and plays so that the adults can join in the fun with there children . also going to reptile
shops so that the children can see the reptiles and what I love also about Denmead First Friends is that they always keep you up to date with what's going on in the month and also updating you about how your child is doing and getting them to learn new things everyday I couldn't be more grateful to them. And the children try new foods everyday which is amazing

When my son started at the nursery, initially it was a battle to get him in on his 2 days a week, thanks to the lovely team of ladies he now walks in without a look back.
No matter the weather the girls seem to manage to get the children outside (if they wish) which is very much loved by my child.
The ladies are approachable and appear to work as a great team which gives a great atmosphere to send my child to their Nursery.

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!!
