September 10, 2024 at 10:54 amHe is consistently so excited to go which has definitely made him ready to attend ‘big’ school in September, so I’m very relieved kids 1st Breedon House has helped prepare him for this big milestone. Thank you! I am really cheerful with my 4 year old attending this childcare centre, the team are all so attentive and compassionate, my little boy feels very comfortable with them all and often speaks freely with them, he certainly views the male team as his own friend and speaks of him often in this light.

September 19, 2024 at 4:45 amOur daughter has been attending the childcare centre for around 17 months since she was 11 months old, and she looks forward to seeing her peers and key workers every day she is there. All of the team are compassionate, attentive and approachable and have a lovely manner with the kids. Thank you for being fantastic, we are so lucky to have found such a lovely place for our daughter to get the best start in her discovering journey! kids 1st – Derby Road is a fantastic childcare centre and discovering setting.

October 11, 2024 at 4:19 pmThe team are incredible and the managers really know and care about every single kid. Never had a bad journey with them and they are just all incredible. Cannot fault this childcare centre, my second kid is here now and the first was here too.

My son is a lockdown baby and hated going places but he loves going to childcare centre and gets excited in the mornings when he knows he’s going. He’s learned so many new skills since attending. Best choice I made sending him here. Lovely team and just a excellent childcare centre overall. I adore this childcare centre.

November 2, 2024 at 4:19 amDropping her off at childcare centre is one of my favourite parts of the day because the atmosphere is so positive and cheerful and I consistently sense like I and my daughter are the childcare centre’s number 1 parent and kid. They all make time to say hello and make you sense really welcome every morning. I don’t usually pick up as my partner does but when I do, again, they consistently pay alot of attention to you as the parent and make sure that their attention is fully on you while the pickup/drop off is happening.
If my kid has ever felt sad when I’ve left, I know that she will be so well cared for and I know her tears will only last a few minutes and the carer’s full attention will be on her until she feels better again. I also sense that they push her education as and when it’s needed and prompt me to which I appreciate; as a first time mum, I don’t consistently know what targets I should be striving for! My little girl started in January 2023 and loves going to childcare centre.

November 2, 2024 at 10:06 pmHer keyworker is truly fantastic, she knows our kid so well and understands and meets her needs each week that she attends. The rest of the Gemima Puddleducks team are so lovely, welcoming and consistently have been approachable. Updates on our kid’s day and general development are frequent and informative. Helping us see just what she has been working on development wise and how much she has changed in her short time at the childcare centre.
Our daughter’s discovering and development has come on in leaps and bounds. The meals all sound delicious and our kid seems to eat everything up!
It really is an outstanding childcare centre. We are so pleased with how our daughter is cared for at kids 1st, she is so unbelievably content at childcare centre and in the baby room.

December 25, 2024 at 2:06 pmMy son is so cheerful here and has come such a long way with his self‑assurance and developing new skills with his peers and educators. He’s very cheerful and that’s all credit to the wonderfully inviting team here! Will miss this place once he starts school. Really welcoming team that’s started to sense like family now.

January 6, 2025 at 12:30 amMy daughter has a excellent rapport with a selection of the team that work at kids 1st @ Derby Road that she is around all the time. She consistently comes away having a lovely day. The team are consistently really welcoming and if I have any questions or concerns they are consistently cheerful to help.

January 27, 2025 at 6:02 amHis development is positively thriving here. The team care so much about the kids, there is not a doubt in my mind that this is the best setting for him to be educated and cared for. I would suggest this childcare centre to anyone looking. An outstanding childcare centre, providing exceptional care for my son.

February 26, 2025 at 10:02 amHe is loved, cared for and nurtured every day by the incredible team at kids 1st @ Derby Road. We get lovely updates from the team and our boy is very very content. Thank you for making it so easy for me to go back to work! My 16-month-old son started full-time in May and is so cheerful.

March 29, 2025 at 2:24 pmMy son absolutely loves it and has come on leaps and bounds in the years he has been there.
The girls on the desk are fantastic. consistently incredibly supportive with any queries.
The childcare centre nurses are compassionate, attentive and considerate. My son consistently leaves with a smile on his face.
If I could give higher than ‘outstanding’ I would! I wouldn’t use any other childcare centre!

March 31, 2025 at 2:43 amThe way the team at childcare centre made us sense assured was very supportive. My boy was made comfortable from day one and I am surprised to see the boost of self‑assurance in his personality. There are regular updates from the childcare centre as and when the activities are conducted and in spite of being a bit busy at times the key workers make sure to update us about the day of our little one!
Overall, a great childcare centre setting. I was a bit sceptical when I first decided to pop my little one who was just about to enter his 2’s in a childcare centre setting.

April 3, 2025 at 12:53 amThe provision is outstanding and the opportunities for kids to learn and grow are endless. updates is outstanding and team are consistently welcoming and approachable. We would suggest this childcare centre to anyone. kids 1st @ Derby Road is a remarkable childcare centre.

April 28, 2025 at 7:21 amEven through illnesses and through dietary restrictions (due to sensitivities and intolerances) the team have consistently gone above and beyond to take care of my little one. Since starting the childcare centre, my kid has been very well cared for, updates is excellent and his needs have consistently been met.
Shawn Clarke
May 2, 2025 at 2:10 amShe has learned so much and I sense confident she is secure when I go to work. The team are consistently expert and seem to treat the kids very kindly. My kid consistently comes home cheerful and says she has had a lovely day.
Lennon Blair
May 3, 2025 at 8:50 amWe sense confident to ask for feedback and question anything we are not sure of or little things our kid may say which we need context to.
The updated building and new playtime equipment look excellent and our kid is consistently engaged in playtime when we collect.
The only thing I think which could improve is for team who are new to a room, covering or when we move rooms, is to introduce themselves to us, I like to know the names of who is looking after my kid and although they may seem to know my kid, if I’ve never met them a “hello, I’m…..” would be remarkable. We are consistently welcomed into the building and all team seem to recognise, if not know my kid’s name which is lovely.

Hayden Hunter
June 23, 2025 at 5:56 pmThe team are all lovely, compassionate and attentive and the management team are really supportive and approachable. Would definitely suggest. Both my sons have had excellent care and thrived at kids’s 1st @ Derby Road Day childcare centre.
Emerson Carter
June 29, 2025 at 4:37 amThe activities they plan are consistently varied and interesting and they spend a lot of time playing outdoors which is perfect for my little one.
They offer a excellent variety of snacks and meals, my little one is vegetarian and they cater for him really well. outstanding childcare centre, the team are all really welcoming and create a lovely atmosphere for the kids.
