01 September 2025
Our nearly 2 year old daughter began with Kids First a few months ago, and she absolutely loves her time there. Within days she had bonded with the fantastic and skilled staff, and I think much of her growth over the past month directly relates to the kinds of nourishing engagement that is daily practice. Beyond this, the managers have been so accommodating with shifting schedules. We could not be happier with Kids First, and 5 stars aren't enough to reflect the brilliant care our daughter is receiving there.

Staff very friendly. Always happy to help with any inquiries. My son loves it here. I find it very reassuring that stuff update the app throughout the day allowing us to see what my child is up to while in nursery. Updating the food they provide helps me know what things my son enjoys and what he doesn't like so much.

We absolutely love Kids 1st at Hexham. The staff made our daughter feel so relaxed when she initially struggled to settled, now she runs up to them for a big hug. It's great to see how relaxed and comfortable she is during a nursery day. The staff always provide such great updates through the day Via the app and debrief at the end of the day.

Absolutely love Kids 1st Hexham. My eldest attended here and now my youngest does. The staff have always been amazing. They're caring, kind, compassionate, and trustworthy. Both my boys have loved attending this setting. Nothing is too much and communication is spot on.

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Kids 1st! From day one, the staff have been incredibly warm, attentive, and dedicated to creating a nurturing and stimulating environment for our son. The teachers go above and beyond to support his learning and development with engaging activities that spark his curiosity and creativity. It's clear that they truly care about each child's well-being and growth. Our son absolutely loves attending nursery every day, and we've seen such a positive impact on his confidence and happiness.

The centre director and her team always do what's best for our kids. We're grateful for helping our little buds turn into lovely blossoming flowers. Our kids have developed strong relationships with staff and kids which is helping them develop and integrate into society.

Both of my sons have attended here since 11 months old. My eldest has left to go to school but I couldn't fault how well he has developed through going to this nursery right through to school. My youngest is still at the nursery and I can see how much he is thriving. He loves the staff, the food and all of the activities. The staff go above and beyond for him and there is a good handover when I pick him up. The staff are caring, fun and my son is always excited to see them. The outdoor space is great for all the children and the separate rooms help them develop in their own time. Overall I am so pleased I brought both my children to this nursery as it sets them up for school life in a brilliant environment! I would highly recommend it.

Kids 1st Nursery is brilliant my son has been coming to this nursery from being 8 months old, and absolutely loves it. He settled in very well and I felt comfortable leaving him there. He has moved up through 3 rooms and has thoroughly enjoyed each room. He usually goes into nursery without a problem which is lovely to see. All of the staff are amazing and I know that my child is safe when left here. Overall, I am very happy that I picked this nursery for my child to go to and if I have any more children this nursery will be my first choice without a doubt.

All staff are so friendly, my little girl has been going since she was 8 months old and loves it. The toys are fab, I think my daughter loves song time the best as she comes home and does the actions. Her development has improved and I believe it's because of everything she learns from nursery.

We have been with Kids 1st Hexham since June 2021 with all three of our kids. They have all been extremely happy and settled there. The staff are warm and friendly and are able to tell my identical twins apart. They treat them as individuals which has always been a priority for us. The focus on outdoor play and the amazing outdoor space available to all the kids at the nursery is what makes it such a special place. The kids have so much fun while learning and doing loads of different activities every day. We get to see what they have been up to through regular updates which makes us feel confident in the staff. We have been really happy with Kids 1st.

Kids 1st Nursery is a child-centred practice. They use open discussion with parents to initiate the child's routine and focus on using the EYFS to meet the child's educational needs. The family and child's personal interests are taken into consideration when planning activities and they ensure that the children have knowledge of the diverse world around us. An app is used to update parents throughout the day and also includes snapshots of their development. Children are separated into different age rooms so that their development stage is a main focus. There is also outside areas for the children. Parent and child sessions are planned so you can see how the nursery functions. Each child has a key worker who supports their learning and gives feedback to the parents. An NHS-approved menu is included for the children so can guarantee a healthy and nutritious diet. The site has easy accessibility with a car park. Top-rated nursery.

I just want to say how absolutely amazing Kids 1st nursery is! If I could give more than 5 * I would and highly recommend to anyone who has little ones. My son previously attended before starting school and had the best time and now my daughter attends and has since April 2024. The staff are absolutely amazing, they provide some fabulous, stimulating activities to help my daughter thrive and meet her milestones as well as providing feedback all about her day so it feels as if I am right there with her. They offer recommendations of learning at home so we can get involved with her progress too which is absolutely amazing. The rooms are always set up so well and I just know she has a lovely day when she attends. The staff always make such an effort at drop off and pick ups and the bonds they have with the children from day one are always shown. If anyone is out there looking for childcare don't hesitate to contact this nursery. You won't regret it. Amazing, amazing, amazing!

Both our children have a great time at kids first in Hexham. They're always learning, have great relationships with the staff there, who obviously care for the children, and the management is often flexible with fitting in extra days for us when needed.

My son has been at nursery for two years and he is a lot more confident since starting. The staff are very engaging and my son mostly has a good time. He enjoys his meals, spending time in the mud kitchen and reading stories. He was more settled once staff became more consistent as he did have five key works which was unsettling for him. Also staff great with him being involved with SEN.

Staff warm and welcoming. Child very happy there. Range of activities. Lots of outdoor play. Photos shared. Variety of food. The graduation ceremony was enjoyed by all, a nice opportunity to say goodbye.

When my son turned nine months old, he began his childcare journey at a different local nursery. I had reservations regarding the level of care and the environment there, which prompted me to move him to Kids 1st in Hexham. I was worried about how he would cope with a big change like this, but he's thrived since being at Kids 1st (almost seven months now). Each morning, his eagerness to be dropped off is a testament to the nurturing and stimulating environment provided there. The commitment and warmth exhibited by everyone at the nursery, from the centre director and managers to the key workers and even the nursery chef, has been wonderful. Their professionalism, coupled with a genuine care for my son's well-being and development, has been evident in every interaction. I'm so pleased I decided to move him, and I'm very happy to recommend Kids 1st to other parents looking for an exceptional nursery setting for their child.

Both my children attend Kids 1st Hexham and they go in smiling every day. My eldest talks fondly about all the staff and my youngest flaps her hands excitedly when we say she is going to nursery. They do a lovely range of activities for both of them and the staff are always very positive and welcoming.
