An amazing Nursery, all the staff are lovely and can't do for you. My little boy always comes home happy and can't wait to go back the next day, days are always fully packed with activities and they change daily.

We had to find a nursery for our little one when he was only 5 months old as I am self-employed and had to go back to work. We feel so very lucky to have found First Steps First. The team could not have been more kind, patient and understanding.
Our little one clearly loves the team and smiles and
kicks with excitement when he arrives. The team brought new toys and food to support his development and provided a safe and nurturing environment. They were very sympathetic to me and even kept it quiet when he rolled in fear of me having missed his first one!
We would recommend this team and site to anyone considering a nursery, especially for your younger baby.

My daughter has recently joined the nursery and I couldn’t be happier with our choice. The team are amazing and have helped her settle in really well. She comes home happy everyday. The space is lovely and intimate, bright and colourful, with a wide range of toys and activities. I Would 100% recommend.

First Steps First is a bright and vibrant setting, there are a range of different areas where children could explore different themes, including sensory, counting and fine motor skills.
My daughter loves the independence that she is given and has grown so much in the last few weeks, the staff will
always take time to share with me what my daughter has done during the day.
Thank you First Steps First for making the beginning of my daughter's schooling an enjoyable experience.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.500)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.500) out of 10 for First Steps First 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 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 5 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 5.000 for First Steps First is calculated as follows: ( (60 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 5

  • 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 4.5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for First Steps First is based on 5 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 = 3.5

    • 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 24 number of registered child places is 4.8, which has been reached with 5 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.
