The centre director and her team always do what's best for our kids. We're grateful for helping our little buds turn into lovely blossoming flowers. Our kids have developed strong relationships with staff and kids which is helping them develop and integrate into society.

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.

Kids 1st Nursery is brilliant my son has been coming to this nursery from being 8 months old, and absolutely loves it. He settled in very well and I felt comfortable leaving him there. He has moved up through 3 rooms and has thoroughly enjoyed each room. He usually goes into nursery without a problem which is lovely to see. All of the staff are amazing and I know that my child is safe when left here. Overall, I am very happy that I picked this nursery for my child to go to and if I have any more children this nursery will be my first choice without a doubt.

All staff are so friendly, my little girl has been going since she was 8 months old and loves it. The toys are fab, I think my daughter loves song time the best as she comes home and does the actions. Her development has improved and I believe it's because of everything she learns from nursery.

We have been with Kids 1st Hexham since June 2021 with all three of our kids. They have all been extremely happy and settled there. The staff are warm and friendly and are able to tell my identical twins apart. They treat them as individuals which has always been a priority for us. The focus on outdoor play and the amazing outdoor space available to all the kids at the nursery is what makes it such a special place. The kids have so much fun while learning and doing loads of different activities every day. We get to see what they have been up to through regular updates which makes us feel confident in the staff. We have been really happy with Kids 1st.

Kids 1st Nursery is a child-centred practice. They use open discussion with parents to initiate the child's routine and focus on using the EYFS to meet the child's educational needs. The family and child's personal interests are taken into consideration when planning activities and they ensure that the children have knowledge of the diverse world around us. An app is used to update parents throughout the day and also includes snapshots of their development. Children are separated into different age rooms so that their development stage is a main focus. There is also outside areas for the children. Parent and child sessions are planned so you can see how the nursery functions. Each child has a key worker who supports their learning and gives feedback to the parents. An NHS-approved menu is included for the children so can guarantee a healthy and nutritious diet. The site has easy accessibility with a car park. Top-rated nursery.

I just want to say how absolutely amazing Kids 1st nursery is! If I could give more than 5 * I would and highly recommend to anyone who has little ones. My son previously attended before starting school and had the best time and now my daughter attends and has since April 2024. The staff are absolutely amazing, they provide some fabulous, stimulating activities to help my daughter thrive and meet her milestones as well as providing feedback all about her day so it feels as if I am right there with her. They offer recommendations of learning at home so we can get involved with her progress too which is absolutely amazing. The rooms are always set up so well and I just know she has a lovely day when she attends. The staff always make such an effort at drop off and pick ups and the bonds they have with the children from day one are always shown. If anyone is out there looking for childcare don't hesitate to contact this nursery. You won't regret it. Amazing, amazing, amazing!

Both our children have a great time at kids first in Hexham. They're always learning, have great relationships with the staff there, who obviously care for the children, and the management is often flexible with fitting in extra days for us when needed.

My son has been at nursery for two years and he is a lot more confident since starting. The staff are very engaging and my son mostly has a good time. He enjoys his meals, spending time in the mud kitchen and reading stories. He was more settled once staff became more consistent as he did have five key works which was unsettling for him. Also staff great with him being involved with SEN.

Staff warm and welcoming. Child very happy there. Range of activities. Lots of outdoor play. Photos shared. Variety of food. The graduation ceremony was enjoyed by all, a nice opportunity to say goodbye.

When my son turned nine months old, he began his childcare journey at a different local nursery. I had reservations regarding the level of care and the environment there, which prompted me to move him to Kids 1st in Hexham. I was worried about how he would cope with a big change like this, but he's thrived since being at Kids 1st (almost seven months now). Each morning, his eagerness to be dropped off is a testament to the nurturing and stimulating environment provided there. The commitment and warmth exhibited by everyone at the nursery, from the centre director and managers to the key workers and even the nursery chef, has been wonderful. Their professionalism, coupled with a genuine care for my son's well-being and development, has been evident in every interaction. I'm so pleased I decided to move him, and I'm very happy to recommend Kids 1st to other parents looking for an exceptional nursery setting for their child.

Both my children attend Kids 1st Hexham and they go in smiling every day. My eldest talks fondly about all the staff and my youngest flaps her hands excitedly when we say she is going to nursery. They do a lovely range of activities for both of them and the staff are always very positive and welcoming.

Amazing nursery! All staff members are very friendly and look out for your little one! Can't thank them enough for making me feel so settled at work after having my first little one! Daily updates on how they are doing at nursery is a great thing, makes you feel so much more relaxed knowing they are having fun in safe hands!

All members of staff are extremely friendly and great with my daughter. They were also fantastic with my eldest, who also attended the nursery. My daughter has been here since 2017, till present, and has always enjoyed her time there. Absolutely fantastic nursery from the manager to all the staff.

A lovely nursery setting! Our daughter has been very happy and settled in the nursery and loves going! They have an extensive outdoor area and are always doing different activities each day. Staff are always friendly and helpful. The new app that the nursery has enables us to see what our child has been doing each day, including photos and assessments. The assessments are accurate and give next steps for our child’s development. There is always a variety of food offered. I would recommend this nursery to all families in the Hexham area.

My son has attended since 11 months old and is now 4. I am happy with all stages of his development at the nursery. Staff are knowledgeable and form great bonds with the children. The nursery opening times are perfect for me as a working mum and I don't have to find childcare during school holidays. My son enjoys the food and garden the most.

After lockdown our little boy was shy and suffered terrible separation anxiety. It took 6 weeks of him going twice a week, and he suddenly went from clinging to me for dear life, to "bye bye Mummy" and marching off on his own. I put this down to the wonderful staff who clearly made him feel loved and safe whilst with them. I can't recommend the place enough, they did wonders with our eldest too, who left for school in the September intake.

Over the past 11 years, I have used Kids 1st in Hexham because of the professional and individualised approach the staff have. My youngest son has been at Hexham nursery for the past 2 years and is really happy. Staff are always really welcoming, they have cared for my son as I would at home, things such as toilet training, being kind, playing outside, eating freshly made healthy food, teaching boundaries have all been fully supported by staff. I would always recommend this nursery.

I can’t recommend Kids 1st Hexham enough. Both my sons have attended since they were 16 months and they have both loved every second of it! All of the staff are so friendly and amazing with the kids!
