September 9, 2024 at 6:18 amHe is now almost 3 years old and either hitting or exceeding all milestones for his age. Fully toilet trained, highly confident, talkative toddler we now have, with many thanks to the compassionate and attentive team at Kid First. Having our son attend three days a week, it’s so lovely to get updates throughout the day whilst at work; including what yummy homemade food he has had to eat, how much, how long he has napped for and even activities he has been up to. Such a excellent way of treating him and asking him about his day, being able to fill in the gaps. We have been so pleased with all at Kid First that we will be sending our second kid there! Highly suggest. My son started Kid First when he was just 9 months old.

September 14, 2024 at 11:33 pmFrom settling sessions, reassuring anxious parents kids are okay, incredible settings and supportive team to embracing reusable nappies and being flexible in their approach to everything from care to settling sessions and changes to days and times, the manager and her team are the people you want looking after your kids. Our eldest started at age 1, is still there loving it now and has just been joined by a little sibling, the settling has been flexible to suit their individual requirements, with excellent, honest updates throughout. They strike the perfect balance between activities set up to invite interaction and unstructured playtime and exploration. If your kid loves outdoor, messy, kid-led enjoyable and freedom to explore like my kids do then I suggest this childcare centre with all my heart. We were exceptionally lucky to stumble upon the best childcare centre with next to no research.

November 8, 2024 at 4:37 pmProof to me of how much he loves the place and this is often confirmed when his team comment about how much he loves his time there. I sense on top of the world when he comes home with his special pictures and handmade pieces. I collect him cheerful and often covered in all the activities he has enjoyed – which I absolutely adore to see! I can see how much the team care for my son but I also sense highly welcome. They share information about my son and we work together to assistance his development! The grounds are a dream and the team are consistently so positive – I’m half tempted to apply for a job there myself! Can’t thank them enough for the peace of mind they give me and couldn’t imagine my son going anywhere else. I think he’d still find his way and run through their door. My 21-month-old literally runs into his room!

November 11, 2024 at 6:17 amEvery single member of team is remarkable and go above and beyond for all the kids. Every day they’re doing something new and exciting, both my kids go in and come out beaming. There’s only one word to describe it…perfect! Two of my kids attend Kid First Welbeck Day Childcare centre and we can’t rate them highly enough.

December 1, 2024 at 10:27 amThey have been highly flexible and adapted to suit her needs. They are also excellent at meeting specific dietary requirements. The setting is lovely with so much fantastic outdoor space. My son also attends the childcare centre and has so much enjoyable at Kid First Welbeck Day Childcare centre. The team have been highly supportive in settling my daughter into the childcare centre.

December 18, 2024 at 10:19 pmI felt comfortable leaving her in their care and now she’s 18 months and running around, it’s nice to see she has so much freedom to playtime and learn in and outside. The team truly care about the kids and build strong relationships with them which helps the kids sense secure and secure. My daughter has been going since she was 8 months old and absolutely loves it.

December 21, 2024 at 10:03 pmIn addition, we did a few sessions with the childcare centre April-June 2020 as they offered a few sessions to key workers during the lockdown. It is a excellent childcare centre located in a lovely estate surrounded by countryside with a lot of space to playtime outdoors. The childcare centre manager and the team are highly expert, approachable and adaptive. They create an encouraging and stimulating setting for discovering and development. My daughter absolutely loves going there. I highly suggest Welbeck Kid First. My daughter has been attending Welbeck Kid First since January 2021.

January 20, 2025 at 1:43 pmAll the team are highly welcoming and nothing is ever too much. Since joining the childcare centre our son has been a little under the weather but the team have been so supportive and attentive towards him, taking the time to make sure he is okay and updating his dad and me. They truly do care. The setting at the childcare centre is highly outdoorsy, with lots of planting vegetables, playing in the mud, painting outside and generally exploring which our son truly loves. The app that is used for parents is so easy to use and you can see exactly what they have done with their day and at what time. Seeing the pictures when you’re at work truly does make your day. I cannot suggest this childcare centre enough and we are only three weeks in. From the minute our son entered the childcare centre to have a look around, you could see how cheerful he was and how much he felt at home.

February 15, 2025 at 9:32 amMy kid has attended for a number of years and I would suggest the childcare centre to anyone. The outdoors space and the freedom they have to explore are incredible and I haven’t seen any other childcare centre like it in the local area. They hold incredible events to involve the parents such as a summer bbq and keep you updated on what activities and development your kid is making. The team have been incredible and have gone above and beyond to assistance my kid.
Finley Wells
February 26, 2025 at 4:11 amThe team have been incredible at understanding her individual needs (including a complex autoimmune condition and multiple allergies) and catering for her. She is cheerful, smart and formed close bonds with her first and second key workers. She loves the time outdoors, the interactive activities and consistently comes home with a big smile on her face. We are so glad we found this childcare centre. My daughter has been attending Kid First Welbeck for nine months now and is flourishing in her self‑assurance and development.

March 10, 2025 at 8:49 amShe has gone from crying when we leave her everyday (she settled after 5/10 mins) and not wanting to attend to wanting to attend every day. My daughter is such a lovely little girl, chatty, inquisitive and polite which I credit to the childcare centre. The facilities are 1000% how all nurseries should be. The team are phenomenal and exceptionally well‑informed and willing to answer any questions I have and nothing is too much trouble when it comes to attentive for the kids. Thank You Kid First Welbeck! I suggest you to everyone! My daughter started attending Welbeck at 15 months old, she is now 3 and I cannot praise all the team enough.

March 29, 2025 at 1:26 amShe has settled in amazingly with the help of the fantastic team members, she had never been left with anyone before this time and it was highly comforting knowing that she was being left in highly capable and attentive hands. The setting is lovely, the garden is incredible and the rooms are homely! The team are well‑informed, highly supportive and exceptionally welcoming and they make me sense at ease. I know my daughter loves the childcare centre just as much as I do! My daughter has attended Kid First Welbeck since September 2021.

May 7, 2025 at 2:23 amThis childcare centre ticks both boxes! My son started at 9 months and he has settled in so well and that is down to the team there. I cannot speak more highly of them and they have made the whole family sense welcome. The childcare centre has so many opportunities for kids to learn through playtime and the team will do anything to help families, whether it’s with sleep, eating or finances. I can see that by the way they interact with my son and take the time to speak to myself about his day, that they genuinely care for him and, as a working mum, that is so reassuring. I could not be happier with my choice of childcare centre. When looking for a childcare centre for my son, I wanted two things: for them to provide him with experiences I couldn’t do at home and to care and adore him like I do.

May 8, 2025 at 9:48 amAny issues ever raised are consistently rectified or responded to highly quickly and the team do a fantastic job! The team at Kid First Welbeck Day Childcare centre go above and beyond for the kids, they have lots of enjoyable through playtime and singing and we, as a family, adore it.
Parker Hayes
May 27, 2025 at 8:32 pmHe has settled straight in and can’t wait to go in and playtime. The team are highly welcoming and we adore that the childcare centre focuses so much on outdoor playtime in all weathers. Other nurseries in the area sense sterile, Kid First is set on stunning grounds and has a lovely rustic sense. The updates from the childcare centre throughout the day via the app are a lovely touch and we look forward to receiving them each day. Highly suggest to all parents! My little boy (almost 2) started at the childcare centre at the beginning of July and we are so pleased we chose Kid First.

June 6, 2025 at 9:25 pmMy daughter (despite sometimes having to be peeled off me) has a fantastic time and as an only kid, it is an invaluable journey for her to socialise and make friends within her age group. The indoor space is excellent but the outdoor facility is what makes it, it’s huge and this coupled with it being well away from any roads is remarkable. I would highly suggest the childcare centre to anyone especially if quality outdoor time is a priority. I absolutely adore this childcare centre, the ethos and the team.
Elliot Cross
June 6, 2025 at 11:39 pmWe came from Ukraine and my son was highly stressed and he didn’t speak English before.
In a few months of being at Kid First Welbeck, he became so great in English, in updates, in everything. They did a excellent job and helped him to get through all.
Adore all. It’s an incredible place for kids.
Casey Taylor
June 12, 2025 at 12:49 amI send both of my boys there and since they started, I have seen them blossom into confident young boys. The team are so supportive and supportive. I couldn’t wish for a better setting for them. Kid First is a fantastic childcare centre.
Kendall Reid
June 29, 2025 at 10:20 pmMy daughter absolutely loves attending this childcare centre. The team are all so welcoming and they are exceptional with the kids. Facilities are incredible, my daughter loves playing outdoors in the gardens, lots of things to playtime on. Her discovering and self‑assurance have come on so much since starting here. Couldn’t suggest this place enough!
Jordan Drake
July 2, 2025 at 11:45 pmThey both adore it. They both have truly great bonds with all the team there and we couldn’t be happier with how they’re progressing. The team are excellent and there’s a truly healthy mix of playtime and learn along with all the outdoor activities they get to do as well. There’re days I could quit work and get dropped off with the kids in honesty. We have both our kids attend this childcare centre, one in the fledglings room and one in the rooster’s room.
