Children 1st @ St Peter & St Paul

Couldn’t wish for a better nursery for my two boys! They love it! They have gained so much confidence and they love every day that they come. The staff are amazing and have done so much for my boys. Couldn’t recommend more.

We highly recommend this nursery to anyone who asks. Our son started in the baby suite at 9 months old in January 2022, and he just loves going.

As new parents looking for nurseries in 2021, the welcome we got and the care taken from staff to explain and show us everything impressed us straight away. The extent to which everything (nutrition, learning spaces, development at every age, contact with parents etc.) has been thought through amazes us.

Staff are friendly and approachable for parents, but also have genuinely lovely relationships with the children. On the odd occasion there have been issues (sickness, small incidents – life happens!) staff have handled it sensitively and professionally. They go above and beyond to help.

We know we can drop our son off and not worry about him at all, he is thriving in this environment.

Unfortunately, no nursery is inexpensive, but what he gets out of nursery absolutely makes it worth it.

Thank you all.

Couldn’t recommend St Peter and St Pauls enough! My little boy has been attending this nursery since January 2022 and couldn’t be happier. He absolutely loves going to nursery there and is thriving in the supportive environment created by the nursery! The staff are all amazing, so kind and are genuinely interested in your child, their wellbeing and their development.
St Peter and St Pauls is probably one of the more expensive nurseries in the area but my god is it worth it! The space and facilities are like no other nursery I looked around!

We have been so impressed by this nursery from day one. The kindness of staff, quality of facilities and prepared activities are fantastic. Our boy has developed so much in terms of speech, social skills, and independence. Compared to other local nurseries this is a little more expensive, but it is so superior to anywhere else we saw we think it’s actually great value for money. The recent spring fair also demonstrated the amazing community spirit of staff.

Fantastic nursery, still send our children despite being a little distance from where we live now. Both of our children have attended and each with their own unique challenges and learning journeys. Sad to see my eldest leave, nothing has ever been too much and we’ve worked very closely with the nursery and staff to get the best support for our children, sometimes needing additional focus and attention, none of which has presented a problem to them. Keep up the great work.

I currently have two children in this nursery and my eldest also went here. I have looked at other nurseries and none compare to the facilities and care that the staff here provide. My children love it here, they come home happy and their development is outstanding. All staff show how they genuinely care about the children and provide great support to the parents. I would only ever recommend this nursery as it is the best in Chesterfield!

I highly recommend Children 1st @ St Peter & St Paul Day Nursery!
All the staff just put their own worries and concerns to one side to make sure the children and parents feel safe and at ease, they are all unsung heroes. My daughter absolutely loves going to nursery, she eagerly goes in with a massive smile on her face and she comes back out with an even bigger smile.
The time, effort and resources they put in daily are amazing, the meals are very nutritious and they go the extra mile for any dietary requirements.
The nursery is clean and safe!
It takes big hearts to shape little minds and Children 1st @ St Peter & St Paul are doing an outstanding job!

Our daughter is a year old and has been at Children 1st @ St Peter & St Paul’s for 6 weeks now. Happily, she absolutely loves it, and so do we. The staff are so kind and attentive with the little ones – giving reassurance when needed, encouraging development when appropriate, all the while forging strong genuine relationships with them. They are also great with the adults giving lots of updates and support in relation to naps, feeding and settling in. The facilities and set-up is marvellous and shows how dedicated the team is to providing a safe and stimulating environment for children to thrive. 10/10

My daughter has been attending nursery from 6 months old and she is now four and getting ready to start school. The staff at nursery are genuine and caring. We have felt listened to and any issues have been taken seriously and support has been provided over and above our expectations. Two staff members are outstanding and I have seen my daughter develop in every way during her time with them. The activities they do are varied and interesting and my daughter loves going to nursery.

This was the first and only nursery we visited when our daughter was born. We immediately fell in love with the facility and the staff that showed us around so we didn’t think twice when we applied for a place. Our daughter is now in school but our son has also joined the nursery and has recently moved from the baby suite. In almost five years of interaction with this nursery, we always felt that our kids have been well taken care of, dare we say loved, by the staff. They genuinely care for the children and, to this day, they still know and greet my daughter by name when she visits nursery. The facilities are exceptional. The external space allows for daily contact with nature ever since they are on the baby suite. We had friends who moved their kids to this nursery because they noticed that ours were more developed, in large part, due to the way the nursery stimulates the children. We have nothing but praise for the nursery.
