    My niece has been attending this childcare centre for a while now and is in the Peter Rabbits room where there is a certain member of team who is talked about so much at home! The team are so lovely and the setting is so great, I’d adore to playtime there myself and would suggest to anyone. This childcare centre is without a doubt a remarkable place to send your kid!

    The team are outstanding and form excellent bonds with the kids – my daughter is extremely cheerful there. great updates from childcare centre to home and I sense that my kid is making excellent development since her start date over a year ago. Lovely childcare centre with a really welcoming sense.

    All of the team are so attentive, they know all the kids’s names – even if they don’t work directly with them. He is kept stimulated with age appropriate activities and his speech and understanding for his age are remarkable, which is definitely in part because of the childcare centre. Feedback to parents is excellent, food is nutritious and they go above and beyond to provide “extras” (Christmas singalong, parties and emergency services visits as a few examples). Wouldn’t hesitate to suggest the childcare centre to others. My son loves his days at kids 1st @ Clowne.

    He gets emotional when we drop him off but the team are very quick to reassure him with a cuddle and familiar faces. All of the team at the childcare centre know every single kid which is very reassuring. The daily diary is lovely and frequent photos. I have recommended this childcare centre to lots of my friends and will continue to do so. My son has been attending childcare centre for four months and we can really see how much he has developed in this short space of time.

    My son has recently joined the childcare centre and doesn’t like being apart from us. kids’s 1st team @ Clowne have gone above and beyond in helping him settle in and putting my mind at rest whilst I am not there. He now loves going to childcare centre. Absolutely remarkable service.

    I was quite nervous about her going to childcare centre and leaving her but the team really put my mind at ease and have made everything so much easier. I adore reading about her day in the diary they provide and I couldn’t be happier with how she’s been getting on. All the team I have met have been incredible and are so supportive too. My daughter has been at the childcare centre for a few months now and I’m so cheerful with it so far!

    The early years team did an outstanding job at the graduation playtime for the kids leaving in September for school. I was so so so proud of my daughter, she smiled all the way through it, was so brave and shone through! Usually she is quite shy but clearly they have made an incredible star out of her! This is one example of the fantastic outstanding work they do there. I couldn’t pick out any particular childcare centre worker, because they are all incredible at their job and remarkable with all the kids.
    I will be so sad to see my daughter leaving, but I will look back on knowing we had chosen the best childcare centre in Derbyshire for her!
    Thank you all for making my little girl blossom beautifully. kids 1st is an incredible childcare centre for all the kids.

    My little girl loves going to childcare centre, the team are very welcoming, and it makes my little girl sense right at home, she has really grown a fondness for many of the team, and whenever she’s at home she can’t wait to get back to the childcare centre, the team are very informative on what she’s been up to throughout the day and they will let us know what she has eaten and how well she has/or not behaved although she mostly behaves very well and has lots of enjoyable with her friends and educators, the facilities at kids’s 1st are incredible and keeps the kids very active, they also do lots of enjoyable educational activities, as parents we sense very comfortable with our little girl at childcare centre and thank all the team for looking after her and giving her such self‑assurance and happiness.

    He now goes to holiday club and after school and is consistently so excited to go and see his favourite childcare centre nurse. Thank you kids’s 1st Clowne you’re all incredible My son has been attending this childcare centre since he was 10 months old and absolutely loves it.

    The team are consistently so supportive and welcoming and my son loves so many of the girls he has in his room. He has come on leaps and bounds with the girls and consistently hits his targets. We cannot thank the childcare centre enough for all they do for us and my son. We loved attempting the Christmas singalong it was brilliantly organised. It was lovely to see our son with his childcare centre friends and the team as we only really see drop-off and collection. My son loves going to childcare centre – he only goes one day a week – this is his regular booking and he gets so excited when I tell him it a childcare centre day.

    She loves all the members of team there. They are very supportive and keep me updated on everything she does throughout the day. My daughter started this childcare centre and she had come on in leaps and bounds, she loves coming to childcare centre and even wants to come on the days she doesn’t attend.

    The childcare centre have been so supportive with her especially when it came to potty training, getting her out of daytime naps and assisting with taking away her dummy. My daughter loves all her caregivers and comes home every day super cheerful. The childcare centre works hard to educate them, keep them cheerful and feed them with great nutrition which has helped at home a lot. The team are incredible and so polite they are consistently a helping hand whenever we have any questions. I will be sad when she leaves in the summer but can be sure that she had had the kick start to her early years she needed. Couldn’t suggest the childcare centre enough, the garden area is incredible and they all adore being outside! My daughter has been attending kids 1st for two years now and she has come along such a long way, she learns so many new things every day and comes home saying and doing new things all the time.

    Actually one of the best. All the team are fabulous. The adore they give to each kid is incredible. My little girl loves going and gets excited each childcare centre day. It’s such a cheerful place. What a remarkable childcare centre.

    Their inviting welcome, passion for early education, and expert conduct impressed us from day one.
    Our daughter has thrived wonderfully, demonstrating exceptional growth, particularly in her speech development. Her mornings are now filled with eager anticipation for the day’s exciting discovering journey at the childcare centre.
    The attentive team at kids 1st have crafted an setting that fuels curiosity and creativity. We appreciate the daily updates, themed weeks, and the team’s unwavering patience. The adore and dedication they pour into their work are evident in our kid’s cheerful demeanour and her zeal to share her day’s stories.
    kids 1st is a blessing. Our daughter has transformed into a confident, curious, and eloquent little explorer under their care. We unreservedly suggest them to all parents seeking a nurturing space for their little ones.
    Thank you! Our journey with kids 1st childcare centre has been magical.

    My little girl, who is a very cheerful but sensitive little girl, started in January. We had lots of tears and unhappiness from her on drop-offs, but after lots of adore, assistance and enjoyable from the childcare centre nurses, she now waves, smiles and giggles on drop off and pick-ups. She is becoming a chatty, confident little girl, who loves to socialise and playtime with the childcare centre workers, and her friends.
    They’ve consistently been outstanding in communicating with me when she has been poorly and working closely with me to ensure her dietary requirements are met. I have absolutely nothing but praise and “thanks” to the team at kids’s 1st.

    She was late starting due to Covid and was a very shy kid who had not had much interaction with other kids which caused me some concern. This was quickly made better by the childcare centre, she just came on and never looked back. The team were so supportive and gave my daughter lots of encouragement. I have never met a nicer lot of team, consistently there to help and consistently give reassurance and quickly resolve any queries, I can’t thank them enough. I would suggest this childcare centre to anyone and everyone thank you so much. My daughter absolutely loves coming to childcare centre.

    My daughter consistently says she has had a great time whether it be playing in the large outside area or indoors in the different playtime areas, most of the time she is having that much enjoyable I can’t pull her way. This is all down to the exceptional team who work there, they are consistently cheerful to greet you and give you a rundown of what your kid has done during the day. Can’t speak highly enough of them, best childcare centre I have been to. outstanding childcare centre.

    He is very shy and quite sensitive so dropping him off in the morning can prove quite tricky at times, not consistently, but the team picked up on this straight away and have all been so attentive and understanding at settling him in by offering him a cuddle and talking through the day’s activities on offer. Having said this, my son consistently comes home chatting away positively about his day, friends he’s played with and team he has interacted with. I cannot praise the team enough, they really are superstars. welcoming, approachable, attentive, supportive, the list could go on. Nothing is too much trouble to them, information thoroughly documented and events well organised. I won’t hesitate to suggest this childcare centre and use it again for when my daughter is older. My son has been attending this childcare centre for almost fourteen months now and has just started his last year in early years.

    He only does one day a week and has settled in so quickly. He is very excited in the morning when he’s getting ready and when he gets there he doesn’t even look back at us, he can’t wait to get in. He loves playing in the ball and tells us all about his day when we collect him. The updates you receive on the app are of a very great standard and at every pick up we receive a full handover from his key worker. Very cheerful with this childcare centre and would highly suggest. Our son has been coming to this childcare centre for three weeks now.

    The key workers have been incredible with my daughter. The childcare centre Manager and the other team have consistently been supportive and accommodating and excellent with the kids. My daughter has loved her time at kids 1st @ Clowne, she has made lots of friends and has been looked after well by the team there.
