September 29, 2022 at 12:00 amI am so happy and impressed with Children 1st Day Nursery and the standard of care they give to my daughter and every other child that attends their setting. My daughter has attended two other nurseries previously and I have never seen her happier in a nursery setting and her development has come on leaps and bounds since attending Children 1st. All the staff are amazing, very professional and approachable. Their communication with parents is always excellent.
It’s lovely to see the bonds my daughter has made with all the staff in the early years room, especially one member of staff who she talks about every day! My daughter is always asking when she is next at nursery because the nursery team and children have become her second family and they make sure each day is fun and full of learning. I honestly can’t thank them enough for the time, care and love they put into every single child in their care!

September 29, 2022 at 12:00 amWe have recently moved our baby and toddler here and are very happy with the care that they are given whilst at nursery. They come home clean, dry, well fed and, most importantly happy. We love reading the daily diaries to see what they have been up to – both in terms of learning and in terms of their care during the day (meals/sleeps/changes)! The staff are lovely and friendly and obviously care deeply about the children that they look after. The nursery itself is set in fantastic grounds with lots of space and provision outdoors for learning and exploration, as well as beautiful, newly-refurbished rooms indoors with lots of lovely equipment for the children to use in their play.

September 29, 2022 at 12:00 amI couldn’t recommend Children 1st Day Nursery, Muskham Road enough.
My son absolutely loves attending nursery and never complains about having to go. He eats very well, has lots and lots of fun playing inside and outside, he’s made lots of friends, not only with the other children but with the lovely staff members too. He’s also very well developed for his age which is largely down to the excellent learning and education provided here.

October 6, 2022 at 12:00 amSuch a lovely nursery with lovely staff that really care for the children! My daughter loves it there, from 9 months to now 3 years old, she has come such a long way, not only with her learning but her eating too! I would recommend it to anyone! Thank you to all the staff at Children 1st @ Newark (Breedon House) Day Nursery.

October 6, 2022 at 12:00 amOur son absolutely loves going to nursery here and the progress he has made amazes us on a weekly basis. The setting is absolutely incredible both inside and out with huge amounts of space that has been thoughtfully divided into different activity zones. Honestly a little bit jealous that he gets to play there all day!
The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and caring. We get great communication from both the nursery regarding upcoming events/activities/weekly themes and from his key worker with individual updates regarding his progress and learning outcomes.
Overall, an outstanding nursery and we are very grateful that our son is so happy here.

October 28, 2022 at 12:00 amReally lovely nursery, my daughter has been going for about nine months now and she loves it so much! Staff are so friendly and helpful and will always help out if we need extra days. So pleased I picked this nursery!

October 31, 2022 at 12:00 amOur daughter has attended Children 1st @ Newark Day Nursery since she was 7 months old. The staff at this nursery are amazing. We tried some sessions with her earlier than 7 months but she wasn’t ready. The nursery manager was incredibly accommodating and understanding as we went through the process. Since she joined she has been looked after like she is in a home from home. I feel 100% confident that she is safe, extremely well fed and well cared for, the staff are so attentive with the children and really help them with their development milestones at the right pace. The systems the nursery use are also fabulous, I can check in and see what she has eaten, how much and when she has been to sleep. If there are any concerns or if they need anything. It really is the best nursery and I can’t imagine her developing as well as she has or being cared for like she is here anywhere else! The facilities are well maintained and well equipped, it is warm, fun and inviting.

March 2, 2023 at 12:00 amWe have been really delighted with the care from all the staff at Children 1st @ Newark. They have really strived to help our little boy to feel at home and settled since he began in January. It’s never easy leaving your little one with others but all of the staff have put us at ease and communicated brilliantly throughout.

March 2, 2023 at 12:00 amA lovely nursery with the best staff. Always feel confident leaving my daughter here and she is happy to stay. She gets wonderful home cooked meals that have encouraged her to try more foods at home too! The early years room is simply amazing with the best facilities!

March 2, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son has attended this nursery since he was a baby and I would never send him anywhere else. Me and my partner viewed every nursery in our area and this was the only one that not only ticked all the boxes but also exceeded expectations. Right from the get go we were greeted by lovely staff who took so much interest in our son and his needs were always met. My son tries new healthy meals which he thoroughly enjoys. He plays all day without realising he is learning so much. He has made some lovely friends who are taught values such as caring, kindness, sharing, taking turns etc. The only thing I can say is it was the most expensive nursery in the area but I firmly believe you get what you pay for here and every penny is worth it. Going back to work after maternity leave was very hard as I had to trust someone to look after my child the same as I would, but you instantly feel at ease. This is the best place to get your child ready for school. I recommend it to any new parent!

March 8, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been going to this nursery for around a month now. The staff are all friendly, and they listen to any changes/concerns. They are willing to work with you, and my daughter genuinely seems happy there.

March 8, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter absolutely loves her two days at nursery! She gets excited when I tell her she’s going that day. I love it when I collect her and watch her playing, unaware that I’m there. As she is always having so much fun and doesn’t stop telling me about her day on the way home. I also love how this nursery feels like a family, and no matter who your child’s key worker is, you get feedback and comments from a variety of staff members about little things, which goes a long way with me. I always feel very included in all goings on, and we only attend twice a week. I highly recommend this nursery.

March 8, 2023 at 12:00 amAbsolutely fabulous. Very switched-on manager and passionate staff in a beautiful setting. Always do their best to support and accommodate. A wide range of activities for children of all ages. Free play with a steady introduction of structure to prepare for primary education.

July 6, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter absolutely loves coming to this nursery.
All the staff are kind and caring, this makes such a difference in the whole experience.
They also have a fabulous outdoor area for the children to enjoy!

July 6, 2023 at 12:00 amVery good, hygienic and child-friendly nursery. My kid comes home happy every day, lots of self-development, learning basic, good habits, physical development and looks forward to going to nursery.
Highly recommend to all parents looking for a good nursery!

July 6, 2023 at 12:00 amFrom our first visit, I knew this was the nursery for us! Every single member of staff cares about their job and the children. They are kind and attentive to all our child’s needs and they know him as well as we do as his parents.
Dropping him off feels like leaving him with family. He loves being there!
The facilities are amazing, the outdoor space is what initially attracted us to Children 1st @ Newark and we have not been disappointed!

July 23, 2023 at 12:00 amOur son (22 months) has been going here since he was 12 months and we’ve been massively impressed over the last ten months. Staff are knowledgable, fun and happy, engaged with play, and genuinely committed to his social/physical/cognitive development. The rooms are comfortable and lively, full of books, toys, different activity zones, but with special lights and music for nap time. He has a lot of autonomy in deciding how he plays. They take them outside a lot, and the baby garden and patio areas are great (the garden for bigger kids is really impressive). Food is cooked on site with care given to quality, balance, and enjoyment of meals. When he’s been ill or had a little accident, the staff are wonderful with caring for him and contacting us immediately. He loves going in the morning and is happy, well fed, and well rested at the end of the day. The updates provided are always really informative. We are so happy with this nursery, we recommend them highly.

July 23, 2023 at 12:00 amMy Daughter has attended the nursery since January 2021 and has adored attending nursery through her time there (asks to go on days off). My son has recently started in the baby room and the transition into a regular pattern was super flexible and supported by the staff. Baby room staff are friendly, confident and brilliantly caring towards all the babes. I always knew my son would be left in capable hands but it’s been a really amazing process and drop offs are really smooth. Books are still used in Baby room which I like to be kept up with what the baby has been up to. 10/10 from this family. Keep up the good work!

July 31, 2023 at 12:00 amWe have only been using Children 1st @ Newark Day Nursery for the last couple of months, we have moved from another local nursery that we had multiple issues with. We have been well supported and all staff have been warm and friendly and my mind is totally at ease. It’s taken so long to find our perfect fit. Highly recommended.

August 15, 2023 at 12:00 amBoth my sons currently attend Children 1st Newark and I often refer to the nursery as our extended family. If you are looking for a nursery in Newark that has great facilities, professional processes and fantastic outdoor space but that still manages to maintain a close-knit, family feel for the children then this is your nursery. The baby room is exceptional with the recent refurbishment and the staff are so caring, they’ve helped guide my youngest through major milestones and he’s so obviously happy there. In the early years, my son plays outside, climbing, digging, and being super imaginative and somehow they manage to fit learning in too. His school have commented on his educational level already and so much of that is down to this setting. Also, allergy parents- please accept my recommendation. My youngest, in particular, started with a complex and long list of allergies, we’ve had no slip-ups and they’ve bent over backwards to work with us to ensure they’re safe and fed well.
