Grantham 1st Nursery has been wonderful for Matthew, and he genuinely looks forward to going each day. He was born very prematurely, but the care and support he has received from the baby room onwards have made such a difference to his development-you wouldn't know it now.
The staff are
fantastic-warm, attentive, and clearly dedicated. It's lovely that everyone knows the children by name, and you can tell the team feels valued and truly invested in creating a positive, nurturing environment. Matthew especially enjoys spending time playing and learning with his friends, many of whom he now sees outside of nursery as well.
Overall, it's a fantastic nursery that we couldn't recommend more highly.

My 2yr old started last month, I wasn't sure if I had made the right decision....
But... I definitely did!!
She loves going to "school" as she says. They do so much different things and changes daily.
The teachers and other staff members are brilliant also.
I would personally recommend, Happy
dad/daughter, Thanks

Children 1st @ Storal has been the absolute best nursery we could have hoped for for our daughter.
What drew us to this particular nursery was safety (locked door requiring fob or access from inside), the clear reception area which makes it feel more organised and secure, the wonderful outdoor
areas and how happy the children and staff seemed during our tour.
Our little girl began attending in April 2025 and in the past year she has formed wonderful bonds with the staff. Her Key Person, Elinga, has gone above and beyond in delivering high quality early years education and we feel that our daughter has been reaching her milestones, but also feels happy and safe there.
The staff are friendly, highly competent and professional and try their best to accommodate any requests, e.g. for naps/meals.
Thank you to Paula and the team for a wonderful nursery experience

Lovely nursery with staff who all know my child, very welcoming and supportive with a very clingy toddler. All the staff are friendly and always speak whenever we enter the building or leave. The staff always come to the door and let us know what sort of day my toddler has had and if/what they have
eaten in the session. If we have needed an extra session, outside of his normal hours, they have always accommodated this. There are so many outdoor spaces for my child to explore and the rooms are well laid out. We did have a few issues however they were quickly resolved once we had bought this to the attention of the staff. The management team ensure any concerns are dealt with swiftly and are incredibly approachable.

Couldn't fault the nursery. We have had our daughter since the baby room and she's now about to graduate out of toddlers. We have some suspected SEN needs and management have been fantastic with helping us navigate this journey.

Brilliant nursery! My son has been here since he was 13 months old, currently in early years! He now comes home and tell us what's he been doing what he learnt such as songs and books! The staff are brilliant, friendly and easy to approach if I need to ask anything. we get updates on the app,
observations on what he has been doing! Home made food which is great! I would definitely recommend this nursery if any one of our family or friends were looking for a nursery! The outdoor space is so good for the children so much for them to do!

We have been using this nursery for almost 2 years now and speak so highly of all the staff. The nursery teachers really care about all the children. They take their time to get to know each child and we have found that this has really helped our son grow into a confident little boy. He loves the
nursery and being in the preschool year now he is more than ready for the move to school in September - which definitely comes down to how the staff are with him and the way they spend their days. We get updates when he is in nursery and also the friendships he has made are great. The facilities are always clean, child safety is always the priority and the nursery team can't do enough to help.

Absolutely brilliant nursery. My son is 16 months and has been attending since he was 5 months old. The staff are absolutely amazing in his room and genuinely care for the children. The environment is stunning, they do so many activities, the food is fantastic and unusually adventurous for a nursery
(which we love). Plus my son is always getting plenty of cuddles, attention and support with his development from the lovely staff. They are also excellent when it comes to flexibility around changing days when needed which is very much appreciated. I was very nervous about him attending so young but I realised very quickly that this nursery is amazing. A special shout out to Elli (my son's bestie!), Tilly and Sarah who are all lovely, compassionate and knowledgeable ladies that make my son's time at this nursery wonderful. Thank you so much.

Our Granddaughter loves her time at nursery and has so much fun. Always showing us her songs she has learnt. She looks forward to going and misses it when she's not there. She has learnt so much in the time she has been there. Has fantastic meals everyday. We can't praise the team highly enough.
Thank you everyone

Couldn't thank everyone at children's first nursery enough for all they have done, my daughter has absolutely loved every minute of being at nursery right from when she was 7 months old! Everyone has been so supportive and we appreciate everything they have done.

We have just had our son's graduation from Pre School, ready for him to begin primary school come September. The time and effort Children 1st staff at Grantham put into the graduation for the kids was just outstanding. From the decor, to the time spent with the children on their performance, to the
thoughtful gifts given to each child. Not only is it a big moment for the children but for the parents too and it turned out perfectly. Thank you again to all the staff that made it happen!
31 March 2025
