Kids 1st Bowesfield

The nursery staff are amazing. They care about the children so much and put so much effort into organising activities for them and supporting their learning. They listen to concerns of parents and really help make you feel at ease to have your child there.

We feel so grateful and fortunate to have my daughter’s key worker. Since her first visit, her key worker has always ensured that my daughter feels safe, supported and loved when she’s at nursery. Even though my daughter only attends one day a week, we can see the impact her key worker has on her. She happily babbles the whole way home mentioning her key worker in her “stories” about nursery. We cannot praise and thank her key worker enough for taking such amazing care of our precious girl.

Our son has been attending Kids 1st since he was nine-ten months old. He loves to come to nursery and if he does become tearful, he is always greeted with love and kindness. My son has made lots of friends and is always talking about them outside of nursery, as well as his key worker and other members of staff. My son has come on leaps and bounds and is always learning new things. The staff are excellent and are always happy, loving and encouraging. I would recommend this nursery to everyone. I work long days and I feel so much better dropping him off knowing that he is safe, happy and well cared for.

Our daughter was born two days after the first lockdown started and we feared her development would be impeded by the lack of social contact. Some of our fears did come true, however since starting at Kids 1st Bowesfield we have seen our little girls personality and creativity flourish. From our first trip, where she was reluctant to be handed over she now can’t wait to be handed over throwing her arms out to two members of staff. That confidence has been replicated at home and we can visibly see how much more inquisitive and creative she is. The nursery feedback via the app is great to follow her progress through the day such as sleeps, nappies and activities coupled with photos. We would thoroughly recommend any new parents to sign their baby up. Two members of staff are doing a fantastic job!

Staff are so welcoming and friendly. None of the queries were unanswered. Best nursery experience I had as a mother. Sending the materials such as paintings, drawings and crafts that the kids have done through the day is my highlight.

My little girl started attending nursery during the pandemic and I cannot praise the team as a whole for the welcoming experience I was greeted with. The conditions they are put under to work during a global pandemic was extraordinary, yet this didn’t change the high level of care my child and I were given. I have never been anxious about my child coming to nursery as I know she is getting the best care and learning environment here at Kids 1st Bowesfield! Thank you to all staff for putting your children and parents first and providing an outstanding nursery.

This is a lovely nursery, it has a great atmosphere when dropping your child off. The staff are really friendly and are exceptionally caring towards the children. The gardens are fabulous for the children and I would one hundred percent recommend this nursery.

My little boy has been attending the nursery since he was 8 months old and he is now 3. I cannot recommend the nursery enough and will continue to do so as I speak very highly of it to everybody. The staff team are always happy to help and offer great advice for a first time mum, who often needs guidance. My little boy absolutely loves the nursery and he thrives from being there. He is very stimulated by the educational activities which they offer each day and people say how confident and clever he is. I truly believe that a lot of it is down to him attending such a fantastic early years setting. Keep up the good work everyone, we can’t wait to send our little girl in September.

My little boy started Kids 1st in November 2022 at 11 months old and I cannot express how grateful I am to two members of staff in particular for looking after him so well and helping him settle into nursery life. It is abundantly clear when he is dropped off on a morning how much he loves them both and that makes us feels so happy knowing he is looked after and happy to be at nursery. Nothing is ever too much trouble for them and they both genuinely enjoy being with all the children, that is clear. Thank you so much.

My son started Kids 1st when he was 7 months old and since his 1st visit, he has absolutely loved it! He is so happy to see his key worker and the other girls in the setting and likes to wave at all of his friends. The parent and staff partnership is great, I love getting sent photos of him playing via the app! He always has a wide range of delicious sounding food, and loves to explore all of the wide range of educational toys within the baby room! I would recommend this nursery to anyone without any hesitation. All of the staff in the setting have made my return to work from maternity leave so much easier and for that, I will be forever grateful!
