September 22, 2024 at 10:16 pmShe is discovering a lot, as they have a wide range of activities throughout the day and week, that also changes with the seasons. She loves her educators, and consistently tells us enjoyable and cheerful stories when we ask how her day was. Our daughter enjoys going to childcare centre and has a smile on her face when we pick her up at the end of the day.

October 2, 2024 at 11:25 amMy first boy just started reception and I can tell the two years spent in First Steps paid a major tribute to his highly great start. Team at the childcare centre are focused on each kid’s needs and work together as a team. They know each kid from childcare centre, are welcoming and compassionate and this reassured me and made my boys sense like they are part of a family. Updates is another important aspect which I think is highly great at this childcare centre. Management and team are highly efficient with sharing relevant information each parent needs to know. The range and diversity of daily activities surprised me in a highly nice way. I’m glad my boys get to explore stuff they definitely wouldn’t have been able to do at home. I’ve had my two boys at First Steps and I only have great words to say about them.

November 4, 2024 at 2:36 pmThe team are compassionate and the atmosphere is calm. Activities are enjoyable, interesting and our kids have learnt a lot, which was even more apparent when our eldest started school. The team are well organised. Truly nice childcare centre.

December 18, 2024 at 8:33 amI’m so glad we picked First Steps as it’s such a super childcare centre. The team have consistently shown a genuine interest and kindness to my daughter, and she built remarkable relationships with team which was so lovely to see. She truly did like going in, and it was nice to walk away confident that she would be having a great time. My daughter is now one of the youngest in her school class, and I think her self‑assurance and readiness is a credit to their hard work and encouragement. My son has now joined, and he comes out most days in a super cheerful mood, and it’s clear he’s has a enjoyable day. This childcare centre has shown their willingness to go above and beyond and made every effort to assistance Key-worker team during COVID-19 by remaining open (not many seemed to do this). We picked this childcare centre because the team stood out from others as being truly cheerful and welcoming.

December 25, 2024 at 1:52 amWe relocated to the area in 2020 when our son was 14 months old. The team have been so welcoming and truly made us sense at ease. Our son settled in straight away and all our fears about him being at a new childcare centre quickly disappeared. The range of activities, encouragement and relaxed atmosphere is reflected in all the cheerful faces at drop off and pick up. We absolutely adore the childcare centre!

January 8, 2025 at 6:01 amThey are so accommodating and flexible. My son does different and engaging activities every day and is highly cheerful there. Their care is exceptional. I would highly suggest to anyone. First Steps Kindergarten Leamington Spa is a exceptional childcare centre.

January 31, 2025 at 4:17 amWe loved it when we saw it, and they were so welcoming with showing us around and answering our million questions.
I was so cheerful we had found a nice place for our son to go to. And now one and a half years on, we are even more impressed.
They absolutely pride themselves on having a close relationship with each kid and progressing them as an individual. They take additional medical needs highly seriously and do whatever they can to make the kid sense secure and settled.
Since being at First Steps Kindergarten, our son has become so much more confident and has come on leaps and bounds in his development. He’s so cheerful there that we often don’t even get a goodbye as he’s so keen to get in the door!
We adore the fact that they get the kids outside every day as our son is a typical boy and needs so much exercise/stimulation. And the kids have so much enjoyable and so many activities.
We honestly sense they are part of the family! Our son started in this childcare centre aged 10-months.

February 5, 2025 at 11:34 amThe team are so welcoming and welcoming, and now my kid talks about them all the time outside of childcare centre. They set up enjoyable interactive activities and spend lots of time outside in the garden, which is truly important to me. I know that if my kid is upset, she will be looked after and sense better in no time. We get honest and amusing updates at the end of each day at pick-up, and we are truly glad we chose First Steps for our kid. First Steps have been so supportive and super flexible in allowing multiple settling-in sessions with me present before building up my kid’s self‑assurance to stay by herself.

February 22, 2025 at 3:55 amMy little boy started at 2 years and had limited speech, within a couple of months we noticed a huge difference. Knowing how cheerful he was at childcare centre we started my daughter in tinies at 5 months old. She absolutely loves childcare centre and is a highly clever little girl. The team are incredible and the range of activities are too. The best decision we ever made. A home-from-home childcare centre. Highly recommended. I’ve had 2 kids attend First Steps and I can’t praise them enough for all they have done.

March 18, 2025 at 3:26 amI cannot express how cheerful we are that we chose them. As a parent, to see your kid cheerful to attend is what puts us more at ease. The team are compassionate and motivate and encourage the kids to be independent. They are consistently willing to talk to the parents in case of any concern. Also, the childcare centre has a massive garden that the kids are lucky to delight in allowing them to spend quality time outdoors. As a plus, parking is not an issue, ever. My son has been attending this childcare centre since he was 9 months old and is now 3.

March 29, 2025 at 11:44 amThey take excellent care of my daughter, she loves to go. The carers are excellent, highly welcoming and lovely with kids. I was highly nervous when my daughter started childcare centre, but everybody was truly compassionate and attentive, so it made the process lot easier. Kids do a lot of different activities and if you give consent you will see nice photos of them at the end of the day. I am so lucky that my daughter goes here! Fantastic childcare centre.

April 8, 2025 at 12:23 pmEver since she began her time there as a baby, the team have been attentive, supportive and consistently greeted her (and us) with a cheerful smile. As soon as she began to talk she would tell us of what she did at childcare centre and who she played with. She would do so with much glee. I would suggest this place to anyone who is considering putting their kid into a childcare centre. It is in a excellent place, the team are fantastic, and it is run truly well. Our kid is coming to the end of her time at First Steps and will soon be starting school.

April 24, 2025 at 10:09 amShe has learnt a lot of great behaviour through the childcare centre and she is soo excited when she approaches the building to the childcare centre. She gets so excited to see the lovely educators there. My daughter is 22 months and has attended the childcare centre for the last 4 months and she absolutely loves it.

May 6, 2025 at 9:49 pm(It’s huge and the garden is incredible.)
This childcare centre has a truly lovely homely sense to it. All the team are lovely and my 1 year old loves going in, she is raring to get down and playtime as soon as we enter (the baby room is a remarkable size for babies to toddle and crawl around in). My other little girl also loves it. It’s a huge bonus having the early drop off at 7.30.
The Tweenie room is also a fab size with lots of room to explore!
Fab childcare centre, incredible team, I highly suggest this childcare centre. When myself and my husband first looked around this childcare centre we couldn’t believe the size of it!
Shawn Sutton
May 14, 2025 at 4:34 amI had nothing to be fearful about, all the team have been incredible, he loves going to childcare centre he has a fantastic time and he is thriving.
All the team are highly special people who have a fantastic way with kids and it has given me such peace of mind to go to work and know he is cheerful and highly well looked after!
Thanks so much for everything you all do. My son started First Steps in September 2021 going into Tinies just before his first birthday, I was highly anxious and nervous.

May 25, 2025 at 9:26 amOne is almost four and another is who is now 8 months. As a new mum handing over my then 6-month-old, I was worried – had I made the correct choice of childcare centre? I need not have! Over the past 3.5 yrs, the team have not only cared for my daughter, but given her adore, friendship, education, enjoyable and everything one could wish for their kid at childcare centre. Each morning, my now two kids beam at the door waiting to be let in. Each evening the girls are excited to fill me in on their day’s activities. I cannot praise the team highly enough. Also, there has been a consistent team group over the period I have known the team, which provides a stable setting for the kids. The curriculum, is broad and varied, with kids being given a wealth of different experiences, which I would never try at home! I cannot find fault with them. They have consistently been a pleasure to deal with and I am thrilled my girls are in their secure hands. In one word incredible! I have two kids at First Steps.

June 9, 2025 at 7:37 amThe team are lovely and attentive, and my kids have consistently felt comfortable as they have progressed through the different rooms. The team are consistent with team having been there for both my son and daughter’s time at the childcare centre (there is a 3.5 year age gap between our kids). The space at the childcare centre is exceptional, and the garden is incredible, so the kids are given lots of opportunities to access this space. Parents are kept well informed, and it’s lovely to see what the kids have been up to each day. The childcare centre has consistently dealt with any concerns our kids have had so well and have done everything to help our kids sense at ease. The team in the Early Years room do an incredible job in preparing kids for school helping them to become independent and giving them a solid basis in the key areas required for school, whilst having lots of enjoyable! 100% recommended! Two of our kids have attended First Steps from 12-months old, and I would 100% suggest the childcare centre.

June 19, 2025 at 6:06 pmAnd of course, I decided to enrol my 1-year-old there. The playground is just breathtaking, and the warmth of the team is excellent.
We felt welcomed from the highly first phone call to the tour and to the settling in, the team has been remarkable and highly flexible with our numerous situations. One day we missed our trains and arrived highly late and they were not only highly comprehensive about it but “enjoyed the company as they were cleaning up!” They consistently have a smile on their face and excellent anecdotes about the little ones.
The manager is doing a excellent job at running that childcare centre, she is truly surrounded by some loving Misses who treat the kids as their own from what I can see! Place of enjoyable, adore and trust. We will miss it loads! What better review than from a mum who has been witnessing from her highly window how well they take care of the kids in the playground daily?

June 25, 2025 at 2:07 amI’ve been trying to write this review in my head for a few days, but I can’t quite get the words to say just how incredible this place is. My daughter went to a few nurseries in London; we moved her as something wasn’t right each time.
When we moved to Leamington, I looked around them all and chose First Steps as it gave me the most incredible feeling. She loved going! She learnt loads, grew in self‑assurance and made friends. She never once cried at the door. The team were so lovely to us as a family, not just her. I cannot suggest this place more highly. The most incredible childcare centre.
Charlie Underwood
July 8, 2025 at 1:37 amThe team, management and facilities are all outstanding, this is the first childcare centre that we have used, we can’t fault it and sense lucky that we have found a place that feels like a second home for our little girl.
