I am extremely pleased with Kids 1st Jesmond. My 2 boys settled in very well and love their time there. The boys have a very good relationship with all the staff, as do I. The staff are amazing, they're genuinely very caring and supportive and are clearly dedicated to creating a positive environment
for the children. There's a lovely atmosphere around the nursery. The facilities are fantastic, activities are engaging and the outdoor space is great too! The app is great and it's always lovely to receive photographs of the boys whilst they're at nursery! Overall a fantastic nursery!

I would like to express my gratitude for the professionalism and dedication demonstrated by the team at Busy Bees. When my daughter started nursery at a young age, I was impressed by the level of care provided. She eagerly looks forward to attending each morning, and I appreciate that her full-time
schedule is filled with engaging and enjoyable activities that keep her entertained throughout the day. The staff are exceptional, and I highly recommend this nursery.

This is a really wonderful nursery. We have two children here and we can see how much our eldest has thrived by attending for two years. Our youngest has recently started and the staff put so much care into making sure he was settled and happy. The staff are incredible and really go above and beyond
to make sure the children are getting the best experience. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the nursery.

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.

My Daughter has been attending Kids 1st Jesmond for five months now and has settled in great! Although she was nervous her first few weeks the girls really helped to settle her in and put both of us at ease. My Daughter absolutely loves her days at nursery and now runs to the room herself without looking
back! It's lovely knowing that she's in a safe environment with staff who will go above and beyond to help. The girls in the room listened to my requests as a parent and got to know my Daughters needs and comforts. We are so grateful for the help of all the staff at Kids 1st Jesmond for making nursery fun for my Daughter, while reassuring me that she is learning and being well taken care of.

We can't fault Kids 1st Wynyard! We feel like each key person builds a great bond with the children. Since my daughter started in January, we receive regular updates throughout the day. Recently our child's been unwell and the manager, went out of her way after hours to ask if she was okay, yet again
another way of showing how much they really care! We highly recommend Kids 1st Wynyard!

Absolutely wonderful nursery, my little girl absolutely loves her time here. I can't fault the staff, with regular updates on naps/meals/daily activities and more they have really put me at ease about going back to work and leaving my little girl in nursery.
Thank you to everyone at Kid 1st Wynyard
for being so brilliant.
The only negative is obviously cost, it's quite expensive and things like wipes, nappies etc. aren't included but the care your child gets is worth every penny and the quality of the nursery is better than others in the area.

Lovely nursery - both my children are very happy and well looked after by the fantastic team of supportive and caring staff. They are challenged by the environment and stage appropriate activities set up for them but are also encouraged to follow their own interests. I'm kept up to date throughout the
day with routines which is very reassuring and helps to transition to bed time. We also love the regular updates on skills developments but would love more time to speak to staff through things like 'stay and plays' as drop off and pick up can be really busy!

Our baby started at Kids 1st Bowesfield just after he turned one. We have had another lovely experience so far with Kids 1st as our first child also attended this nursery from being 1.
All staff are so attentive and really helped our baby to settle in so quickly. He has so much fun on the 2 days of
the week he attends the nursery and we love getting pictures and updates throughout the day.
The meals he eats there are lovely and he seems to really enjoy them. They offer such a variety of food and it is all healthy and he loves it.
The activities that he does there are great and we love that there is a sensory room in the baby room the staff are so caring and lovely.
I recommend this nursery to all our friends and family and really do think it's the best nursery in the area. Our son loves the lovely big fish tank at the entrance as you walk in and it's another nice touch the great that there is a take-out tea and coffee station for parents to take the work with them.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Kids 1st Bowesfield is a gorgeous nursery. I visited several different nurseries when looking for "the right one" and fell in love with this setting the moment we walked in. Our son has been attending Bowesfield for about 18 months now and is very settled. It took him longer to settle than the usual
few settling-in sessions and the nursery was so accommodating and helpful and fully supported our son to make him feel at home and we've never looked back.
We identified our son has additional needs very early on in his life which meant he was going to need specialist intervention and help alongside securing and EHCP and the nursery pulled out all the stops and worked so hard with us as parents to ensure the plan was secured and implemented immediately, he now has one to one support during his sessions and is thriving at kids 1st Bowesfield. The staff are all fantastic and the setting is by far the best in our area.

My little boy attends Kids 1st Bowesfield and to say he loves it there is an understatement. He has come on leaps and bounds since starting here. The staff are lovely and have gone above and beyond for my little boy, nothing is too much trouble for them. They are very easy to speak to and will help
in any way they can. From my experience, they offer so much support for not only the child but the parent too. I have had a lot of issues including eating, sensory issues, and medication issues with my little boy and they were so quick to jump on board and do whatever was possible to help. Fantastic nursery.

from Sam B (Mother of Child) published on 5 March 2025
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

We have been extremely impressed with the outstanding experience our son has been provided with at Kids 1st Bowesfield.
Our son started at 9 months old, which was quite nerve wracking, but from the beginning we were reassured he was in a caring safe environment. He has an excellent relationship with
the staff and is always happy to greet them when we arrive - he particularly likes it when two staff members in particular are there to welcome him!
The staff in his room keep us up to date via the app, including photos and a monthly milestone up date. These are lovely to receive especially whilst I am at work!
In addition to the wide range of toys, the nursery makes a great effort to do activities with him - he has done activities such as painting, sand play and made cards etc. He's a little boy who likes to be busy so this suits him down to the ground.
Finally, I work a varied shift pattern and the nursery are always extremely flexible and helpful when organising care, which can be a challenge.
