Overall Experience

My Daughter has attended this nursery since she was 1 years old & will soon be going onto School in September - the staff here have helped with her development & confidence & she is always happy to attend - & most importantly I feel she is safe & looked after well in my absence which makes leaving her

for work a little easier

Reply from Jessica Griffin, Marketing Executive at Children 1st @ Bilborough

Thank you so much for your lovely words! It's been a joy watching your daughter grow in confidence and develop during her time with us. We're so pleased she's happy and feels safe here-that means the world to us. Wishing her all the best as she gets ready for school!

Overall Experience

The staff at the nursery are very welcoming, my son can be quite shy at times and they have all helped him to feel welcome and come out of his shell much more and to have the confidence to approach them all now. All will chat about the day he's had and make me feel at ease if he has been more on edge

during the drop off. Any concerns I've had I have felt able to discuss these with the ladies and these issues addressed well.
There is a fantastic outdoor play area and are out there utilising this space most days. Overall my son loves being here and I am happy to know he is happy.

Overall Experience

I highly recommend Children 1st @ Newark Town.
My son has been attending the nursery since 2021 (10 months old). Before selecting this nursery, I had done thorough research and visited a few in the area. This nursery won me over with its attitude towards learning (and Ofsted rating), the warmth and

professionalism of its teachers, the building and garden in the back, and its central location (in the heart of Newark).
My son has thrived here. He has a mild lisp, which was identified by his teachers early on and was referred to a Speech & Language Therapist. At the same time, his teachers have been working with him following the SALT's recommendations, and I can see great improvement.
We are always kept informed about his progress, either through the nursery app or verbal feedback from his teachers, who are happy to talk with us at the end of his session and answer any questions we might have or give guidance.
I'm a very happy parent and already registered my baby daughter.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending this nursery for a year now and she couldn't be happier. She enjoys coming each day and has built relationships with the staff there. All the staff are amazing in each of the different rooms so you never have to worry when your child moves up a room because the standard

of care they receive is consistent throughout the nursery. The setting is bright, colourful and clean and you instantly feel welcomed. The food menus are fantastic and the staff feedback each day is really appreciated. I have transitioned to working full time since my daughter started and the staff really helped me with the hours, fees and all of the details I was worried about. My daughter now attends every day from 8-5 and she is doing brilliantly thanks to the amazing staff. The staff are also great at helping my daughter with her confidence, her speech and potty training. My older 2 sons attended this nursery too and having looked at other nurseries in the area there is no comparison!

Reply from Jessica Griffin, Marketing Executive at Children 1st @ Bilborough

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! It's fantastic to hear how happy and settled your daughter is, and we're so pleased to have supported you through her transition and your return to full-time work. Knowing you've trusted us with all three of your children means the world to us! We truly appreciate your kind words.

Overall Experience

As a parent of a slightly naughty and hyper active little boy, I am more than happy with how he is taken care of. A regular update of what he has done that day, what he ate, how was his mood etc. gives us a lot of assurance.
Along with that we are updated with the observations along with his pictures

twice a month.
That gives us an understanding on what he is learning etc.
All the staff know him by name and greet him with a smile. They take care of him very well. He learnt many rhymes there and tries to read books like he can already read.
What else can parent ask for?
I am very glad that I chose this nursery for my little one.

Reply from Jessica Griffin, Marketing Executive at Children 1st @ Bilborough

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We're so glad to hear how happy and settled your little one is with us. It's lovely that you feel reassured by the updates and that he's thriving, learning new things, and building strong bonds with the team. Your kind words mean a lot!

Our son has been going here for just over a month now. He absolutely loves being there. All of the staff are very attentive and friendly. The communication is brilliant. Our son eats all the varieties of food as the menu is great. As parents we couldn't be happier sending out son there. Seeing the way

our son has developed since being there is beautiful especially the connection he has with the nursery nursers that look after him so we would like to say a big thank you.

I highly recommend this nursery; our daughter attended from 2023-2024 and from the exceptional experience she had within her time here, we also made the decision to put our son in this nursery too, since starting he is loving it and has fantastic staff looking after him who I can't speak highly enough

about them; they are friendly and very professional and are just brilliant at what they do! we always receive a handover of how our son as been in the day, it's so nice to hear rather than just generic answers that you may receive elsewhere. Our son absolutely loves it, and is thriving and the additional confidence he is growing since starting here is really showing, he looks forward to coming to nursery and is always eager to go in. From the moment you enter the nursery you find it very warming from reception staff, to nursery nurse staff right to the management team. Thank you all so much for being so fabulous at what you do!

My son has been since September 2024 and he really enjoys going and the staff are all really helpful and informative. All the staff let me know how my son has been each day and what he's done and ate for the day and how much he's ate or slept which I think is really usual for me to know.

My Son has attended Children's 1st Bilborough Since September 24.
It took him a while to settle in due to him being with me all the time previous to starting, however he's now finally found his feet and loves attending. The staff are amazing, welcoming and very friendly. He has so much fun playing

and meeting new friends. Thank you Children's 1st. Would highly recommend this nursery.

My little boy started in September, he's normally really shy and really struggles with new places he goes to that he doesn't know, after a few weeks of starting here he'd walk in with a big smile on his face & I have no issues with taking him now. he even wants to go in days he's not in! He absolutely

loves all of the staff two staff in particular being his favourite! His speech has came on so much better since starting here also!

A wonderful nursery! My daughter loves coming here and happily waves me off at the door. The outdoor space is why we chose this one and it's great to see them all running around outside when you pick them up. My daughter has had nothing but positive experiences here and the staff are friendly, approachable

and highly committed. I have recommended this nursery to friends and will be sad when my daughter has to leave!

Overall Experience

Children's 1st @ Newark is a fantastic setting for your little one. I have been using the nursery for the past 5 years having had both my daughter and son in. Both experiences have been without a single grumble.
The nursey were really supportive with a difficult potty training journey for my daughter

and made every effort to help her when she was in.
Both my babes have been really happy there and the staff genuinely care about all the children.
Really great enrichment timetable and lots going on.
Communication is fab and the app is great for getting updates on your little one.
Staff are all really nurturing and enjoy their job which is no easy feat. All of my littles ones Kay workers have been fab.
The setting is pretty busy now the free hours have been introduced and it can be tricky to get extra sessions ad hoc but the girls do try to accommodate you whenever they are able.
