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.

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.

My child has been attending Kids First in Wynyard for 9 months. Prior to him starting he was very shy with other babies and would struggle leaving me. He now runs into the nursery with a smile on his face, doesn't want to leave and really enjoys making new friends. He has come on leaps and bounds socially
and this is down to the staff in the nursery creating a welcoming supportive space for him to thrive.

I have nothing but positive things to say about this nursery. My little girl started not long after her first birthday and I was really apprehensive about the change but as soon as I walked in and saw the setting and lovely staff I felt so at ease. Every morning the setting is always set out beautifully
and the staff are always in a positive mood ready to start the day. I love how there are constant updates on the app and the communication at pick-up is really good, never feels rushed and nothing is too much for me to ask. My little boy also then started here when he was 7 months and again I have had nothing but the best experience! The flexibility of being able to add sessions via a particular staff member also helps with my working pattern. We plan to keep both of our children in this nursery until they start school and we will be sad for them to leave! Thank you so much to the manager and the team.

My daughter had never been left with anyone before attending nursery. She experiences quite bad separation anxiety, and due to this, I was worried about having to leave her.
However, the staff at Kids 1st quickly put my mind at ease. They genuinely care about my daughter and give me regular updates.
She
has settled quickly and has learned a lot.

Our children have been at Kids First for a few years and we can't recommend the nursery enough. Every member of staff is lovely our kids adore them. It's always hard leaving your kids for the first time but they have always been so settled and excited to go to nursery.
The staff always keep us up to
date and are always on hand to help if we need anything- and so flexible with us.

Kids 1st Wynyard is far and away the best nursery we looked at when choosing where our little one was going to go.
We are so happy with our choice to go to this nursery. The staff are friendly and go above and beyond.
We get regular updates with how our little one is getting on, which makes us feel
reassured. The activities that the children are able to take part in are fantastic and our little one loves them.
They have key workers to make sure the children are well looked after and they help to meet their key milestones and develop skills.
The food there is varied and specific to each child's dietary requirements. It must be yummy too as he eats it all up.
We feel very safe knowing that our little one is properly cared for by Kids 1st Wynyard.

Kids 1st Wynyard goes above and beyond for my child. They send constant updates on how her day is going and send lots of pictures. The staff can't do enough for you they always help when I'm feeling worried about my child's development or her eating. The management team are always on hand to help with
anything even when I was confused about the government-funded 15 hours. Both my children have been through the nursery and I would highly recommend it to anybody.

I was really worried about leaving my son to go back to work but the staff at Kids 1st Wynyard couldn’t have made the transition any easier for me and my son.
I can go to work knowing he is in the best hands. The staff are always welcoming and really helpful. The updates are fantastic too especially
knowing how much fun he is having.
We are always updated on food/naps/nappies etc.
The staff should be really proud of how well the nursery is run and how at ease they make parents feel.

My child is now 3, has been with Wynyard BusyBees for about 1.5 years now and it has been great. She was with Montessori previously and I was nervous about the change, but no regrets at all. Staff understand her needs well, she always loves it when I drop her off and has made many friends. Seems to
have a low turnover of staff, everyone knows my child by name, very friendly atmosphere. Lovely space indoors and outdoors. I love the app, getting daily updates of her activities, nap times and meals are great and easy to keep a track of. Management is friendly, approachable and communicates well. Also love the tea and coffee facility for grown ups, a nice touch for the morning rush. Hours offered seem less flexible compared to some other nurseries, but works well for me.

I can't recommend this nursery enough. Our son has been going since January and he absolutely loves it. The staff genuinely go above and beyond and truly care about each individual child. We have no idea how they have the time... but they seem to know each parent and child so well! At Kids 1st, we believe
that he is nurtured, educated and encouraged at the highest standard. More importantly, he is safe and he also eats very well there! (Menu is delicious)

My 4-year-old goes three days a week and absolutely loves it. She has been attending the nursery for over a year and, since joining, has come on leaps and bounds with her speech and confidence. She has lovely bonds with the children and staff there. I have never had any issues with the nursery, and
my daughter always has a lovely day.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.970)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.970) out of 10 for Kids 1st Wynyard is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.970 for Kids 1st Wynyard is calculated as follows: ( (386 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 396 Ratings = 4.97

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids 1st Wynyard is based on 33 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 108 number of registered child places is 21.6, which has been reached with 33 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Megan Goodman

Job Title: Centre Director

Joined: 2009

Hello, I am Megan and I hold a Level 3 CACHE Diploma qualification in Childcare & Education, which I earned in June 2009. My journey with Kids 1st Wynyard began in October the same year as a nursery assistant and over the past fourteen+ years, I have progressed through various roles and I am now proud to be the Centre Director.

I am deeply passionate about working with children and am dedicated to helping nurture them in their formative stages, giving them a solid foundation for their future. We work closely with parents to help meet their child's needs and am both saddened and delighted when they formally "graduate" and move on to mainstream education.

Over the years I have pro-actively participated in organising numerous fundraising activities and I am currently Wynyard's designated Charity Champion. I am proud to say that we have raised tens of thousands of pounds in support of the local community.

In my social life enjoy spending quality time with my family and friends, going for walks, and more recently have developed an interest in nature photography.
