I couldn't recommend Kids 1st Wynyard enough! My daughter has been attending Kids 1st Wynyard since she was eleven months old. She initially struggled to settle but the girls did everything they could to help her and even offered additional settling in sessions which really helped. She is now almost
two and a half years old and attends four days a week and absolutely loves it! She is excited to walk in on a morning and leaves with a beaming smile each night. I was nervous about sending her to nursery due to a cows milk allergy but Kids 1st Wynyard have accommodated her requirements fantastically. The girls are all warm, caring, friendly and very welcoming to both children and parents. Thanks Kids 1st Wynyard.

My son really looks forward to spending time at Kids 1st Wynyard. He loves the activities, has bonded with the staff who really nurture and encourage his development. Add in good safety factors, the fact that the quality and variety of food is excellent, there is a high standard of cleanliness. The
play areas offer enough intrigue and excitement to keep children interested and the staff there really look like they are having as much fun as the children that you realise you have put your child in the best possible environment. Watching our boy not just grow but actually bloom. We could not be happier. Highly recommended.

I could not recommend Kids 1st Wynyard more. They have cared for my daughter for four years, with my second daughter about to start. They make you feel at ease and you genuinely feel like they care for your child like you do. My daughter skips into nursery everyday and now is completely prepared to
start school. She constantly impressed me with the range of activities and education she has received through teach day. It will be a really sad day when she has to leave Kids 1st Wynyard and I feel lucky to have another child to start her journey with the nursery. The support the staff have offered me over the years has been invaluable.

Kids 1st Wynyard has provided an excellent day care experience for my seven month old and it provides a welcoming, professional environment where my daughter will thrive. Excellent communication daily from the staff to me as a parent, regarding development and milestones.The facilities are outstanding
with lots of rooms for age and development as well as outdoor play spaces. The staff are very friendly and have helped my daughter adjust to nursery. There is a wide choice of cooked meals offered daily. I would highly recommend this nursery.

The staff and facilities at Kids 1st Wynyard are great. Our son has attended for almost two years now and we have only good words to say. The food choices are healthy and really varied, which means he often eats things we might not have tried at home. Each morning he runs straight in without looking
back. He talks about his nursery workers at home and always with a smile. Our daughter, who is only a few months old, will join him at the end of the year and I am confident that she will have also have a great experience.

My seventeen month old son loves Kids 1st Wynyard and all the staff there. After a bumpy settling in period during the first lockdown, he settled in after only a few sessions and the team were brilliant with him and us, in making him feel confident and safe. We get regular updates and pictures throughout
the day on the app, which brighten my day. A huge thank you to all the fantastic staff at Kids 1st Wynyard who help make my son such a happy little boy and make the working Mam guilt far less, with me knowing he’s so happy with them and in brilliant hands.

Our little boy started here when he was ten months and had been stuck in throughout lockdown. I was apprehensive, however needn’t have worried. From day one he loved his misery and his teachers, especially one in particular. He never cries when we drop him off but cries when he has to come home! He
has come on so well with walking and now trying to talk and he mixes with adults and children which is lovely. A fantastic nursery which always feels welcoming and safe.

My daughter has attended Kids 1st since she was 9 months old. She has absolutely loved her time with you all. The girls are amazing with her and she has met some lovely friends. Everyone is very welcoming and we will be so sad to see her go to nursery school this year. Kids 1st has given her the best
start in life.

I would 100% recommend Kids 1st Wynyard.
Our little girl struggled with settling in and getting general germs that she hadn't been exposed to due to lockdown. She's spent almost all her life in lockdown so she isn't used to other people, including family! I was worried about handing her over at the
door and yes, of course, there were tears but I knew she was safe there and staff have gone above and beyond to make her happy and comfortable.
Looks like we're there with her settling in. She can finally play and make some friends, something which she has completely missed out on.
I am so thankful for all the help from the staff and I regularly think how happy I am that I chose this nursery.

My daughter absolutely loves going to nursery and has a great bond with her key worker and other staff! Always has a smile on her face pulling up at the nursery and it’s so nice to know she’s happy and safe when I’m at work! Love the parent app and the fact we get updates and pictures throughout the

Both of my children have been to Kids 1st Wynyard, my seven-year-old when he was a baby and now my eight-month-old goes. They do so many amazing activities and both kids love it, I feel happy leaving my children when I know they are both there. The staff are excellent and do anything to help. I would
recommend to any parent if you wanted to feel happy leaving your children.

Both of my children love going to Kids First. My eldest loves his friends and key worker, and I’m so happy he still gets to have that social interaction during Covid. They do so many exciting activities and he learns so much too - I’m amazed some of the things he talks about at home. I was worried my
youngest wouldn’t settle into nursery as due to Covid she’d never been apart from me. However, she absolutely loves going and gets so excited when we pull up in the car. I feel the staff know both of my children well; they’re not just a number.

The team at Kids 1st are amazing! My daughter started nursery from the 1st October at just under 6 months old, I was really nervous about leaving her there not knowing how she would be with new people when she has had very little social contact in her life so far, but she absolutely loves it! She’s
always happy when she comes home from nursery which is lovely to see as a parent.

I would definitely recommend this nursery, our daughter absolutely loves going to nursery she smiles as soon as she recognises the sign! And her development has come on leaps and bounds in just a month of attending. The staff are lovely and really helpful. The nursery itself is a fantastic, very stimulating
environment for little ones to play and learn!

Kids 1st Wynyard is a lovely nursery! The staff are very professional and friendly towards both children and parents! My eldest used to attend and now little boy (now 3 years) has been coming since January 2019! And since coming back in September 2020 after been off during lockdown he absolutely loves
coming to nursery, always talks about going and what he’s been up to while there. Couldn’t ask for a nicer nursery to look after my children.

Great nursery, my little girl loves it and we get a detailed report on what she’s been up to each day. She has done so many new activities and has settled in really well. The staff are very friendly and professional and you can see they genuinely care for the children. They also try to stick to the
routines parents already have in place which is really helpful. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Amazing nursery, my little girl loves going there. They cater to all of her allergies and give a detailed report on what she’s been up.
The staff are friendly and very professional, and you can see they genuinely care for the children.
The food must be lovely as my little girl eats everything.
They’ve
been fantastic at dealing with the COVID pandemic and made parents and children feel at ease.

A brilliant nursery with a great emphasis on both the child and, even during Covid, instilling a family atmosphere and supporting the parents. The key-workers are excellent and we can't recommend this nursery highly enough. Regular contact. Daily sheets as to what's been happening that day and brilliant
staff. So pleased our little lad is with Kids 1st Wynyard.

Our son attended this nursery for two and a half years, so when it came to a nursery for our daughter, there were no hesitations where we would be sending her.
All of the ladies are lovely and have helped our daughter settle in very quickly.
The nursery is always giving us updates, and I feel extremely
comfortable leaving our daughter here as I know she will be very well looked after by the staff.

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.
