Children 1st @ Shepshed

We have been blown away by how fantastic this nursery is. The staff are enthusiastic, helpful and caring. The facilities indoors and outdoors are incredible. After only one session, our son felt safe and happy to attend thanks to the amazing staff. We feel he is going to thrive in this setting!

We are extremely grateful for Children 1st in Shepshed. Our son settled very quickly and has been happy to attend without fuss ever since. The staff there are lovely and the facilities are fab. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone or use it again.

Seen a remarkable improvement in my little one, was progressing very well in the previous room but moved up to the next room just before walking and her confidence grew and grew.
Her speech has come on massively too.

Honestly couldn’t ask for anything more in a nursery.
My little boy has been going here for 2 months now after moving away from family and friends and his old nursery which he’d gone to since being a baby. He settled in straight away, he’s made friends, loves going in on his nursery days and loves all of his nursery ladies.
The facilities are amazing. There is so much for him to do and explore both inside and out. Can’t recommend them enough.
Honestly I had a little boy who did not want to learn to use the potty and within a week with their support he was pretty much fully potty trained.
Would wholeheartedly recommend them.
The entire staff are just so friendly and welcoming you instantly feel comfortable.

I have had the most amazing experience sending my little boy to nursery. I know he is well looked after and he has really come out of his shell! All staff members are so friendly and have been very accommodating to every scenario I have required any form of assistance with. One Happy Son, one Happy Mum

Both our boys attend nursery. Our oldest child is in Early Years and our youngest is in the baby room. We couldn’t ask for a more welcoming, friendly and helpful nursery who have been incredibly accommodating during some very difficult times when our youngest son was born.
Both our children receive great care and stimulating activities in their rooms. The adults working with the children are fantastic.
In the baby room, our youngest son’s key worker is incredible. She knows him so so well and looks after his every need. The nursery has recently had some new resources too and they have been so engaging and stimulating for our boy.
In Early Years – our oldest son enjoys a range of brilliant activities across a huge upstairs space and also enjoys regularly going outside and exploring the many play areas outside. He is well supported by the adults in his room and when we pick him up he always has a smile on his face.
We couldn’t be happier with the care and support our boys get.

My son absolutely loves coming to nursery and has made friends there. He’s built really good relationships with his key workers and his speech is really developing quickly.
There are so many activities for the children and so many that I couldn’t do at home so this is really beneficial for him.

Always friendly, helpful and engaging with the kids. My child loves to go and is always excited. They keep you informed on things that are going on and the portal is always helpful. Accident procedure is also very good, never an inch of detail missed on how it happened and so forth.

My little girl started at Children First @ Shepshed nursery in April. I was really nervous about leaving her in someone else’s care and going back to work. Everyone that works at the nursery is wonderful, so kind, friendly and thoughtful. They were really accommodating and followed our home routine with naps and meals. I love all the art and biscuits my daughter has made and brought home. I love seeing photo updates of what she’s been doing at nursery. She’s become so much more confident and learnt new skills and words. Made new friends. The nursery is always clean. I’m really impressed with all of the learning resources available to the children. Fresh healthy meals cooked on site. Lovely outside play area.
