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

Our children LOVE childrens 1st, they are thriving!
Staff are incredible, they really go the extra mile for all of the children. The food is all home made which to us is very important. All round a fantastic nursery! I'd recommend to anyone looking where to send their child, 10/10! Michelle, Katie
and Illinga give such good feedback on our childrens days at nursery and they are pationate and very intentive in their roles.

My daughter attends this nursery , is always looking forward to coming on a Friday. Brilliant care and she is always well looked after! Get updates on the app to see what she's been up to and she always looks happy to be there. !

My child is currently at this nursery and she is thriving!! All the staff are so lovely and attentive and communication is amazing!! No query is too much for them, and I'm so glad this is the nursery we chose for my child to attend.

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.

Superb Staff and facilities, our boy enjoyed every minute of time spent there, he made so many friends some of whom will be joining him in reception. Can't praise enough the support and love from the staff.

It's been wonderful for my son. It's his last day and he would surely miss the ladies at the nursery. Thank you Children 1st at Grantham. No bad experience for over 2 years. My son always wants to go to Nursery. I would highly recommend this nursery any day any time.so much love from my family.

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!

Absolutely fantastic nursery! All staff are exceptional! My child loves coming in and doesn't want to leave!
There are an array of activities set out each day to help teach the little ones, regular updates on their progress and an online portal to access everything you could need.

speak for themselves!
5 stars all around!

We have been looking a lot of nurseries in our area and we chose the Children's 1st for our little boy, we are so glad that we did! The staff love and care, helped him a lot and we are very comfortable when we leave him in the nursery. He made new friends and enjoy his time in the nursery, all
thanks to the people who work there. We will definitely recommend Children's 1st to any parents!

This nursery has been in my life for around 8 years now.
They have shown non-stop support and growth with my four little ones.
My youngest son is the last little one at the nursery and his time there and with his teachers has been amazing.
They have helped him grow from such a shy little boy who
struggled to talk and eat properly to helping him gain confidence and encourage him with his learning and talking. He is now so confident in saying so many words and his appetite has gotten so much better.
Children's 1st has been the best. I will truly miss every single staff member. We are so grateful for you all.

Absolutely amazing nursery. My son loves it there and he made so many lovely friends.
The staff there are welcoming and very friendly and helpful in any situation.
Cosy and friendly environment and so many fun activities for the children to do!
I would recommend this nursery to anyone!

Great nursery, lovely staff, and an environment for the kids to grow and learn. Staff do a great job with the children and bring them out of their shells. Would definitely recommend it to other parents. Thank you all so much.

All 3 of my children have attended Children 1st @ Grantham and I have never had any faults. They always come out with smiles on their faces and a thousand amazing stories about their days and they keep up with their dietary needs with them being lactose intolerant. My children have had an amazing
start to their education and preparing them for the future. I and my children are going to miss them dearly 10/10 5 stars.

My boy has been going to Children 1st @ Grantham Nursery coming on three years. He loves all the teachers and the staff are so friendly. He has never really taken well with new people and can be a bit clingy to me and two members of staff, in particular, always give him a big cuddle to soothe him.
His speech has come on leaps and bounds and he’s always so excited to see his friends.

A fantastic nursery, spacious rooms, a large selection of learning materials. My child is happy to go to the nursery. The staff is excellent!! I feel safe leaving my child there. I am so happy that I chose this nursery!

My daughter has been with the Nursery since January 2024. She has been in the Peter Rabbits room and since January has really enjoyed her time there. She is thriving and in just a month we have seen significant improvements to her language and social skills as well as her fine motor and mobility
skills also. We truly believe that the Nursery is a great fit for her and we cannot wait to see what further improvements she will make.

Children 1st is my son's second nursery that he has attended. At his first nursery, he used to cry now and then and be reluctant to go to nursery. But since he joined Children 1st Nursery, he has never refused or cried when coming to this establishment. He is always eager and happy to come to
nursery. That is a testament that he was looked after well and treated with love and care. He has been attending this nursery since October 2023.
Additionally, all the staff are friendly, cheerful and helpful. Even if I am late by 5 or 10 minutes during their closing time, the staff/my son's teacher has never complained or displayed their frustration. Therefore, I have given them 5 stars, which they rightly deserve.
07 March 2024
I see my son walk confidently and try to visit different parts of the house independently, picks the things he needs and try to communicate, although he needs to learn more words. I would like to see him able to speak simple sentences, identify letters and sing in the coming months.
I am satisfied
with the care provided to him.
