March 2, 2023 at 12:00 amAbsolutely fantastic nursery! My child loves going here and the staff are amazing with him. After a bad experience with another nursery, I switched to Children 1st @ Shepshed and it was the best decision I have made. My son has come on leaps and bounds.

March 3, 2023 at 12:00 amWe 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!

March 12, 2023 at 12:00 amWonderful nursery with great facilities and lovely friendly staff. My only issue is the lack of transparency about moving between the rooms, different staff give different answers when you ask when they will move to the next room and different rules appear to apply to different children. I would however highly recommend this nursery to everyone.

July 27, 2023 at 12:00 amWe 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.

July 27, 2023 at 12:00 amThis nursery is absolutely amazing. My daughter loves every staff member and she is really well nurtured. She is leaving now for a big school but we would be back in a heartbeat. Everyone is so friendly and caring we couldn’t wish for a better experience.

July 27, 2023 at 12:00 amSeen 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.

July 27, 2023 at 12:00 amFantastic nursery! We are always greeted with a smile and made to feel welcome.
Though it can be a few different members of staff in my child’s room, everyone is friendly and my child enjoys being with them all.
All the activities with the children are great and well thought out.
The outdoor area is brilliant and age appropriate.

July 27, 2023 at 12:00 amHonestly 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.

July 27, 2023 at 12:00 amThis is the second child that I have sent to this nursery. The staff are always welcoming and friendly. The facilities are amazing. I know when I leave my baby there they’re well looked after. Both the indoor and outdoor spaces are amazing. My baby loves it and I’d recommend the nursery.

July 27, 2023 at 12:00 amI 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

July 28, 2023 at 12:00 amMy 2 year old has been here since she was 9 months old and has loved every minute. Amazing facilities, the food provided is great, kind, friendly and caring staff, you couldn’t want more from a nursery. 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 really thrived.

July 28, 2023 at 12:00 amBoth 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.

July 28, 2023 at 12:00 amGreat nursery for children to attend, my child loves going to nursery and enjoys telling me what she’s had for lunch. She’s made lots of friends and enjoys singing me songs she’s learnt at nursery and the activities she gets up to.
I love the online system where I can view photos of her and up to date observations.

August 1, 2023 at 12:00 amMy 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.

August 2, 2023 at 12:00 amReally lovely staff make you feel welcomed every morning and they are amazing with my child, they keep her happy all day long and she never wants to leave! Good food choice for the children also. She learns lots of new things every day and has come on so much since starting! Very happy, would highly recommend.

August 2, 2023 at 12:00 amAlways 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.

August 2, 2023 at 12:00 amOur daughter has been at this nursery since the age of 6 months, she is one years old now. Her development has been vast, she was walking at the age of 11 months. The care and encouragement our daughter receives at the nursery is fantastic. Our daughter really enjoys her time with the team. Thank you.

August 2, 2023 at 12:00 amMy 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.

August 8, 2023 at 12:00 amI love that our son has taken really well into nursery life, shows that the staff are passionate about what they do. My only feedback would be, I would love to see more of what my son does in nursery life through pics etc, I know this will be hard to do all the time but it does make me feel better knowing he’s having a good day.
