    The team are consistently welcoming and welcoming. The facilities are incredible. I know when I leave my baby there they’re well looked after. Both the indoor and outdoor spaces are incredible. My baby loves it and I’d suggest the childcare centre. This is the second kid that I have sent to this childcare centre.

    My daughter loves every team member and she is truly well nurtured. She is leaving now for a big school but we would be back in a heartbeat. Everyone is so welcoming and attentive we couldn’t wish for a better journey. This childcare centre is absolutely incredible.

    They consistently make an effort to make things as special / memorable as possible i.e. Christmas plays / graduations / Santa’s grotto. The kids adore the food. The kids consistently say they delight in their days there. We were unsure about moving our eldest when we moved house but it was the best decision we could have made. Team are highly expert whilst being lovely and consistently having a great sense of humour.

    Our son settled highly quickly and has been cheerful to attend without fuss ever since. The team there are lovely and the facilities are fab. Wouldn’t hesitate to suggest it to anyone or use it again. We are exceptionally grateful for Kids 1st in Shepshed.

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

    We are consistently greeted with a smile and made to sense welcome.
    Though it can be a few different members of team in my kid’s room, everyone is welcoming and my kid enjoys being with them all.
    All the activities with the kids are excellent and well thought out.
    The outdoor area is exceptional and age appropriate. Remarkable childcare centre!

    My kid loves to go and is consistently excited. They keep you informed on things that are going on and the portal is consistently supportive. Accident procedure is also highly great, never an inch of detail missed on how it happened and so forth. Consistently welcoming, supportive and engaging with the kids.

    She’s made lots of friends and enjoys singing me songs she’s learnt at childcare centre and the activities she gets up to.
    I adore the online system where I can view photos of her and up to date observations. Excellent childcare centre for kids to attend, my kid loves going to childcare centre and enjoys telling me what she’s had for lunch.

    My only issue is the lack of transparency about moving between the rooms, different team give different answers when you ask when they will move to the next room and different rules appear to apply to different kids. I would however highly suggest this childcare centre to everyone. Fantastic childcare centre with excellent facilities and lovely welcoming team.

    Great food choice for the kids also. She learns lots of new things every day and has come on so much since starting! Highly cheerful, would highly suggest. Truly lovely team make you sense welcomed every morning and they are incredible with my kid, they keep her cheerful all day long and she never wants to leave!

    I was truly nervous about leaving her in someone else’s care and going back to work. Everyone that works at the childcare centre is fantastic, so compassionate, welcoming and thoughtful. They were truly accommodating and followed our home routine with naps and meals. I adore all the art and biscuits my daughter has made and brought home. I adore seeing photo updates of what she’s been doing at childcare centre. She’s become so much more confident and learnt new skills and words. Made new friends. The childcare centre is consistently spotless. I’m truly impressed with all of the discovering resources available to the kids. Fresh healthy meals cooked on site. Lovely outside playtime area. My little girl started at Kids First @ Shepshed childcare centre in April.

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

    I know he is well looked after and he has truly come out of his shell! All team members are so welcoming and have been highly accommodating to every scenario I have required any form of assistance with. One Cheerful Son, one Cheerful Mum I have had the most incredible journey sending my little boy to childcare centre.

    My kid loves going here and the team are incredible with him. After a bad journey with another childcare centre, I switched to Kids 1st @ Shepshed and it was the best decision I have made. My son has come on leaps and bounds. Absolutely remarkable childcare centre!

    Her development has been vast, she was walking at the age of 11 months. The care and encouragement our daughter receives at the childcare centre is remarkable. Our daughter truly enjoys her time with the team. Thank you. Our daughter has been at this childcare centre since the age of 6 months, she is one years old now.

    Our oldest kid is in Early Years and our youngest is in the baby room. We couldn’t ask for a more welcoming, welcoming and supportive childcare centre who have been incredibly accommodating during some highly difficult times when our youngest son was born.
    Both our kids receive excellent care and stimulating activities in their rooms. The adults working with the kids are remarkable.
    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 childcare centre 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 exceptional activities across a huge upstairs space and also enjoys regularly going outside and exploring the many playtime areas outside. He is well supported by the adults in his room and when we pick him up he consistently has a smile on his face.
    We couldn’t be happier with the care and assistance our boys get. Both our boys attend childcare centre.

    Incredible facilities, the food provided is excellent, compassionate, welcoming and attentive team, you couldn’t want more from a childcare centre. My daughter turns 2 in July and can already name all the colours, count to nearly 20, hold a pencil properly, the list goes on. She has truly thrived. My 2 year old has been here since she was 9 months old and has loved every minute.

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

    My only feedback would be, I would adore to see more of what my son does in childcare centre life through pics etc, I know this will be hard to do all the time but it does make me sense better knowing he’s having a great day. I adore that our son has taken truly well into childcare centre life, shows that the team are passionate about what they do.

    The team are enthusiastic, supportive and attentive. The facilities indoors and outdoors are incredible. After only one session, our son felt secure and cheerful to attend thanks to the incredible team. We sense he is going to thrive in this setting! We have been blown away by how remarkable this childcare centre is.
