We have had an excellent experience with the early years team. They transitioned our child to nursery very smoothly, especially miss nic and Ellie who are wonderful with the babies. There's a lot of attention on varying the activities and engaging the kids in all sorts of things.

My daughter settled in to Children 1st better than I could have ever imagined and that's all thanks to the wonderful staff and facilities at the nursery. I am filled with confidence knowing my daughter is having a wonderful time while I am at work. You receive constant updates and pictures so you can see just how much fun your child is having! My daughter has come along so much since starting at the nursery, the confidence she now shows is amazing. I would highly recommend Children 1st to any parents or parents to be that are looking for somewhere to send their children.

The communication has much improved since the app. The staff are friendly and caring, and my daughter enjoys going to nursery. Lots of lovely activities are available every session. When my daughter came to nursery initially there was a lot of staff changes, and this wasn't communicated. This has settled and the staff are fantastic. If my daughter has been involved in an incident I have been phoned and given reassurance. This has been appreciated. Thank you, I have recommended to many others.

A great team. My daughter took a while to settle in at first but everyone was super supportive to her and me. My daughter loves going now and I'm impressed with the variety of activities that she does.

I'd like to give a special shout out to the two main ladies in Jemima puddle ducks, they've done a fantastic job of helping my LO settle in since June but also helping me feel confident to leave her for longer stretches & take things at my own pace. I could never of hoped for how well she has settled & that's down to the ladies dedicated attention to her in those early months. They also deserve a special acknowledgment for handling the extra crying babies since September it can't be easy to keep your sense of humour up when they're all screaming but some how they do.

My son is in his final year and has been attending since 10 months old. The care and love that each room and member of staff has shown has been brilliant throughout. In recent months, the early years room has made fabulous changes and I've seen so much progress in my sons learning and behaviour. The curriculum is well thought out and the children are given loads of experiences and opportunities. The amount of photos and updates parents receive is perfect and great to see what they get up to!

We were recommended Children 1st Plumtree by a friend, and we're so happy we went with this nursery. Our little boy has been going for 6 months and he loves it! All the staff are brilliant and you can tell they care about the kids and their wellbeing. The daily updates and photos are lovely to see. And when we pick him up you can tell he's definitely had a great day. Thanks for being so amazing!

I honestly can't recommend this nursery any higher, my little boy loves going. He loves all of his key workers and friends and I honestly feel like he loves being at nursery more than being at home! The fact they have the most amazing outdoor area for the children was a must for us as our little boy loves to be outside. The meals he has are like something you'd find in a restaurant, it's definitely help him try lots of new tastes and flavours at home which he didn't before he started going. He's so much more sociable with other children, so kind and caring which again before he didn't really know how to act around then and sometimes lashed out. I love this nursery and I feel lucky to be able to send my little boy there it really is special! The App is amazing too, you get every single update throughout the day, sleep, food, nappies - it's brilliant! Everyone who works at this particular nursery is amazing, kind and so attentive. Thank you

Our two little people enjoy their days at nursery. Staff in Early Years in particular are incredibly kind and have adapted their practice to meet the needs of our eldest, providing individualised care and encouraging a curious mind. The nursery has had a difficult year with being taken over and this has led to staff changes. However, the benefits of the takeover are clear with lots of new resources, improved staff enthusiasm and a comprehensive curriculum including aspects of forest school and activities such as cooking and yoga. The addition of a qualified teacher has been beneficial and she is a true asset to the nursery.

My daughter has recently started and I couldn't be happier. The team are amazing and have made her first week at nursery incredible which has made it so much easier for me to drop her off in the morning knowing she's happy and cared for. The team have gone above and beyond and I knew straight away Children 1st Plumtree was the place for her and that was proven when my little girl has shown her cheeky, loving side at nursery that she does at home too within her first week of being there.

We've been so lucky to have both of our children at Children 1st Plumtree - our eldest son, who's now thriving at school, and our youngest son, who's still there and absolutely loves it. From the very beginning, the whole team has been incredible. They're caring, professional, and genuinely kind. Everything they do is done with so much thought and attention, yet always with patience, warmth, and a smile. Nothing is ever too much trouble. Both of our boys have had food allergies and the staff have been understanding and diligent in helping to guide them through it. We've seen amazing progress in both of our kids, and that's entirely down to the dedication and love the staff put into what they do. We honestly couldn't recommend Children 1st Plumtree enough - the team is outstanding, the environment is so nurturing, and we're incredibly grateful for everything they've done for our children. Keep it up guys :)

The staff and management are always caring, invested, supportive and have given so much to both of my childrens experience and development over the years. I always feel reassured that my child is looked after in the best possible way. I'd definitely highly recommend Childrens 1st Plumtree to other parents.

We have had the privilege of sending both our children to Children 1st Plumtree. Our daughter, who is now thriving at school, and our son, who is currently still there. From the start, we have been so impressed with the care, professionalism, and warmth of the whole team. They are meticulous in everything they do, yet always deliver it with kindness, patience, and a smile. Nothing is ever too much trouble. For our family, this nursery has gone above and beyond, especially as our son has an ultra-rare liver disease. The staff have ensured his safety and wellbeing at every step, while giving him the chance to learn, grow, and fully take part in nursery life with the other children. The development we've seen in both our children is a testament to the dedication of this wonderful nursery. We cannot speak highly enough of Children 1st Plumtree. The staff are exceptional, the environment is nurturing, and we are truly grateful for the impact they've had on our children's lives.

I can tell from my kids how much love he got from the lovely staff! He loved the food there and he finished all his meal almost every day! He enjoyed and had lots of fun with his friends! Every time when we passing the nursery, he will point to me and shows how much he wants to go inside to play!!!

My child has attended children 1st for just over a year, I'd like to say this nursery was a fantastic choice and we have had no issues. My child loves attending nursery weekly and his vocal performance, learning & overall development has exceeded incredibly. Since the new management of Danielle the changes of the nursery has gone beyond expectations. I have seen the huge improvement in changes and couldn't be more happier. There is a huge difference within the team and the nursery overall, I couldn't recommend this nursery enough, she has supported me and my child above and beyond. The changes made recently by Danielle shows a clear sense of direction for every child's needs. The rooms and outdoor space are amazing, the staff couldn't be more helpful, I'm informed 24/7 of my child's daily activities. One thing that stuck out for me was the cleanliness of the nursery always a cleaner on sight, I'm happy parent & glad I made the choice of sending my child here

My daughter has recently started at Plumtree and honestly we couldn't be happier so far. The staff in the baby unit have welcomed her so warmly into nursery and I feel like I'm dropping her off with a loving team who put her best interests first. When she's been poorly at nursery they have been really helpful and supportive, putting my mind at ease when I know she's feeling under the weather. The daily photos are fantastic and I can honestly see my little girl developing leaps and bounds in just a short time since starting. So happy we picked Plumtree!

We are so happy we chose Children's 1st for our little boy. He's been attending since he was 10 months old. The staff go above and beyond. It's clear to see the genuine care, relationships, and bonds they build with the children. Leaving your baby in someone else's care can be an incredibly anxiety-filled experience, but Children's 1st made that transition so much easier. We've always felt completely reassured by the level of care, attention, and communication. This, along with the brilliant facilities means our little boy is thriving and loves going to nursery!

We have been so impressed by the care and attention shown to our little girl at Children's 1st Plumtree. Their care for her allergies has been exceptional and has really put our minds at ease when leaving her with them. She absolutely adores going to nursery each morning, and has come on leaps and bounds since starting in September. The range of activities they do is really lovely even for the littlest ones. I couldn't recommend it enough and I'm so pleased we chose Plumtree.
03 December 2024
Both my children settled in to Children 1st Plumtree so quickly, thanks to the warm environment provided by all staff and the huge variety of activities both indoors and outdoors that they love. No problem or question is ever too small for staff who are so knowledgeable about child care and child development. I couldn't be happier with our experience.

Children 1st @ Plumtree has been absolutely amazing for my little girl. Since she started shortly after turning one, she's learned so many new things, including new words like "tractor" and even how to tidy up after herself while playing with toys. The difference we've seen in her well-being and development since starting nursery has been incredible. The staff are so trustworthy, and I know my little girl is in great hands. One staff member in particular has been especially wonderful - she helped my little girl settle into nursery along with other wonderful members of the team when she joined the first room, when my little one wasn't happy to be away at first, making the transition so much smoother. The reception team is fantastic as well, who always goes above and beyond for parents! Seeing my little one run in happily each day and knowing she's made great friends there reassures me she loves it. I wholeheartedly recommend Children 1st @ Plumtree!
