April 25, 2022 at 12:00 amI absolutely love this nursery, the ethos and the staff. My daughter (despite sometimes having to be peeled off me) has a wonderful time and as an only child, it is an invaluable experience for her to socialise and make friends within her age group. The indoor space is great but the outdoor facility is what makes it, it’s huge and this coupled with it being well away from any roads is fantastic. I would highly recommend the nursery to anyone especially if quality outdoor time is a priority.

April 25, 2022 at 12:00 amTwo of my children attend Child First Welbeck Day Nursery and we can’t rate them highly enough. Every single member of staff is fantastic and go above and beyond for all the children. Every day they’re doing something new and exciting, both my children go in and come out beaming. There’s only one word to describe it…perfect!

April 25, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter has attended Child First Welbeck since September 2021. She has settled in amazingly with the help of the wonderful staff members, she had never been left with anyone before this time and it was very comforting knowing that she was being left in very capable and caring hands. The setting is beautiful, the garden is amazing and the rooms are homely! The staff are knowledgeable, very helpful and extremely friendly and they make me feel at ease. I know my daughter loves the nursery just as much as I do!

April 25, 2022 at 12:00 amFrom the minute our son entered the nursery to have a look around, you could see how happy he was and how much he felt at home. All the staff are very welcoming and nothing is ever too much. Since joining the nursery our son has been a little under the weather but the staff have been so helpful and caring towards him, taking the time to make sure he is okay and updating his dad and me. They really do care. The setting at the nursery is very outdoorsy, with lots of planting vegetables, playing in the mud, painting outside and generally exploring which our son really 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 really does make your day. I cannot recommend this nursery enough and we are only three weeks in.

April 25, 2022 at 12:00 amChild First is a wonderful nursery. I send both of my boys there and since they started, I have seen them blossom into confident young boys. The staff are so supportive and helpful. I couldn’t wish for a better environment for them.

April 25, 2022 at 12:00 amMy 21-month-old literally runs into his room! Proof to me of how much he loves the place and this is often confirmed when his staff comment about how much he loves his time there. I feel on top of the world when he comes home with his special pictures and handmade pieces. I collect him happy and often covered in all the activities he has enjoyed – which I absolutely love to see! I can see how much the staff care for my son but I also feel very welcome. They share information about my son and we work together to support his development! The grounds are a dream and the staff are always 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.

May 18, 2022 at 12:00 amWe have both our children attend this nursery, one in the fledglings room and one in the rooster’s room. They both love it. They both have really good bonds with all the staff there and we couldn’t be happier with how they’re progressing. The staff are great and there’s a really healthy mix of play 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.

June 15, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been attending Welbeck Child First since January 2021. In addition, we did a few sessions with the nursery April-June 2020 as they offered a few sessions to key workers during the lockdown. It is a great nursery located in a beautiful estate surrounded by countryside with a lot of space to play outdoors. The nursery manager and the staff are very professional, approachable and adaptive. They create an encouraging and stimulating environment for learning and development. My daughter absolutely loves going there. I highly recommend Welbeck Child First.

August 5, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter started attending Welbeck at 15 months old, she is now 3 and I cannot praise all the staff enough. She 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 nursery. The facilities are 1000% how all nurseries should be. The staff are phenomenal and extremely knowledgeable and willing to answer any questions I have and nothing is too much trouble when it comes to caring for the children. Thank You Child First Welbeck! I recommend you to everyone!

August 11, 2022 at 12:00 amMy little boy (almost 2) started at the nursery at the beginning of July and we are so pleased we chose Child First. He has settled straight in and can’t wait to go in and play. The staff are very friendly and we love that the nursery focuses so much on outdoor play in all weathers. Other nurseries in the area feel sterile, Child First is set on stunning grounds and has a lovely rustic feel. The updates from the nursery throughout the day via the app are a lovely touch and we look forward to receiving them each day. Highly recommend to all parents!

August 21, 2022 at 12:00 amMy son started Child First when he was just 9 months old. He is now almost 3 years old and either hitting or exceeding all milestones for his age. Fully toilet trained, very confident, talkative toddler we now have, with many thanks to the kind and caring staff at Child 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 great 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 Child First that we will be sending our second child there! Highly recommend.

September 8, 2022 at 12:00 amThe staff have been amazing and have gone above and beyond to support my child. My child has attended for a number of years and I would recommend the nursery to anyone. The outdoors space and the freedom they have to explore are amazing and I haven’t seen any other nursery like it in the local area. They hold amazing events to involve the parents such as a summer bbq and keep you updated on what activities and progress your child is making.

October 17, 2022 at 12:00 amWe were extremely lucky to stumble upon the best nursery with next to no research. From settling sessions, reassuring anxious parents kids are okay, amazing settings and helpful staff 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 children. 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 great, honest communication throughout. They strike the perfect balance between activities set up to invite interaction and unstructured play and exploration. If your child loves outdoor, messy, child-led fun and freedom to explore like my kids do then I recommend this nursery with all my heart.

January 17, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been attending Child First Welbeck for nine months now and is flourishing in her confidence and development. The staff have been amazing at understanding her individual needs (including a complex autoimmune condition and multiple allergies) and catering for her. She is happy, smart and formed close bonds with her first and second key workers. She loves the time outdoors, the interactive activities and always comes home with a big smile on her face. We are so glad we found this nursery.

January 17, 2023 at 12:00 amCouldn’t recommend this place enough! My daughter absolutely loves attending this nursery. The staff are all so welcoming and they are brilliant with the children. Facilities are amazing, my daughter loves playing outdoors in the gardens, lots of things to play on. Her learning and confidence have come on so much since starting here.

January 17, 2023 at 12:00 amThe staff at Child First Welbeck Day Nursery go above and beyond for the children, they have lots of fun through play and singing and we, as a family, love it. Any issues ever raised are always rectified or responded to very quickly and the staff do a wonderful job!

January 17, 2023 at 12:00 amThe team have been very supportive in settling my daughter into the nursery. They have been very flexible and adapted to suit her needs. They are also great at meeting specific dietary requirements. The setting is lovely with so much wonderful outdoor space. My son also attends the nursery and has so much fun at Child First Welbeck Day Nursery.

January 17, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been going since she was 8 months old and absolutely loves it. I 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 play and learn in and outside. The staff really care about the children and build strong relationships with them which helps the children feel safe and secure.

January 18, 2023 at 12:00 amIt’s an amazing place for kids. We came from Ukraine and my son was very stressed and he didn’t speak English before.
In a few months of being at Child First Welbeck, he became so good in English, in communication, in everything. They did a great job and helped him to get through all.
Love all.

January 27, 2023 at 12:00 amWhen looking for a nursery for my son, I wanted two things: for them to provide him with experiences I couldn’t do at home and to care and love him like I do. This nursery ticks both boxes! My son started at 9 months and he has settled in so well and that is down to the staff there. I cannot speak more highly of them and they have made the whole family feel welcome. The nursery has so many opportunities for children to learn through play and the staff 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 nursery.
