    I did a lot of research into the local nurseries, I went to view several and I am still so pleased with my decision to send my daughter to Children 1st. They have been amazing throughout, we started during the pandemic so it hasn’t been easy at times making decisions, but the nursery has been very understanding and supportive. My daughter cannot wait to go to nursery in the mornings. She runs in and doesn’t look back. I couldn’t ask for better and thank you for looking after her. She’s settled into her new room so well, and she’s come on amazingly development-wise in the last few months.

    I have been very pleased with the nursery. They are very well organised and give great care to my little boy. He has settled in very well in each new room and is always happy to be dropped off. Thank you.

    I am so pleased with how well our daughter has settled and thrived at nursery. She started midway through the pandemic which made it harder to leave her at the door. However, after a couple of weeks, she soon felt comfortable going in. She now loves telling me about her friends and looks forward to seeing the manager come to the door to collect her. The staff are lovely and we have seen how much she has improved in so many areas. The nursery itself is lovely and set out so well to keep the children entertained and safe. Can not recommend them enough. Thank you to all for looking after our little girl.

    My husband and I visited a few nurseries before we chose Children 1st Day Nursery. Upon meeting the friendly staff, we both felt at ease as we knew our son would be in good hands. All the staff at Children 1st are not only friendly but are very good with all the children, they are genuine and very supportive with each child’s needs. Our son has come home on numerous occasions telling me he loves his key worker and that was heart-warming to hear that he feels so safe in an environment where he feels loved. I can’t thank the team at Children 1st enough for their kind encouragement through our son’s early years. Our son especially loved the food and would come home and ask me to make some of his favourites. His confidence has grown and he has made lots of friends at the nursery, some of whom have gone to his new school with him. Our daughter is currently at the nursery and is too having fun and learning something new every day. I highly recommend Children 1st, as an amazing start.

    What a great nursery! We loved the setting and the welcome we had as soon as we walked in to view the nursery whilst I was pregnant.
    The staff take fantastic care of our son and have absolutely no hesitations in making the right decisions around his care, education and progress. He has come on leaps and bounds with his speech and listening skills, and it’s lovely to hear about his friends at nursery. This is truly a home from home setting.
    Whilst we have had a few accidents at nursery, I know my son has been taken good care of and they have all been dealt with fantastically. They are all so understanding and caring if he needs a few extra cuddles and attention during the day – particularly if he is teething.
    The staff are always attentive to both his needs and ours, with the nursery management teams always helping out where they can with any admin/payment queries we have alongside any requests to amend sessions for our son.

    My daughter started this setting in January and both myself and partner have seen her grow in confidence. She talks about the staff and is always sharing her daily experiences with us. The staff are warm and welcoming and always smiling. They support her with meal times and this has been noticed at home also with her confidence and attitude towards food. You wouldn’t be disappointed in this setting and I would strongly recommend you come and see for yourself.

    I just love this nursery. My son has really struggled to settle in, not because of the nursery but because he was pretty much isolated for a year so was a big shock for him, the staff have been patient and wonderful with him. He now loves it. The staff are all so great and I love that they don’t just look after my son. He is constantly learning and experiencing new things. If I have any ‘issue’ they are so quick and professional to help me address it. Would fully recommend.

    We are happy overall, precious staff and caring environment. My son adjusted well coming from another country, and his knowledge and skills has jumped remarkably in the past few months, especially English being his second language.

    Good service and very accommodating. Staff are friendly and excellent management. My daughter loves nursery which makes me love the nursery in turn. I feel my daughter is safe and happy in this nursery.

    All the staff at Children 1st are amazing. Now with my second child there, we feel at ease that both kids are well looked after by the fabulous staff, and learning at the same time. My eldest has been in every room and thoroughly enjoyed each one equally. It doesn’t go unnoticed how much effort and work the staff do to provide an amazing daycare setting for all the children. The staff have always been accommodating and friendly.

    I cannot thank this nursery enough. My son started in the bobtails room and is now in early years. He is such a confident little boy and loves his time at nursery, often coming home telling us about the exciting activities he has done.
    We can’t thank the girls enough for all of their hard work. It definitely doesn’t go unnoticed in our eyes.
    The food always sounds so good too, our son highly rates the cook.
    Thank you to Children 1st @ Syston Day Nursery!

    All the staff are wonderful. My daughter has really come out of her shell here. She is confident and very chatty at nursery. She knows all her carers well and enjoys the activities. She always comes home with plenty of things to talk about. Since her time at nursery her communication has vastly improved with adults and her peers. She enjoys learning through the play activities.

    As a mother, one of the hardest things you have to do is return to work and place your child in the care of another. For me, the right nursery for my son was of paramount importance.
    I’d been to see a couple but I just didn’t feel right. We then visited Children 1st and I cried when we came out. Since that first visit, my son has always loved being at nursery; feeling absolutely at ease with all of his key workers. Even though he only attends three days a week, to say he is thriving is an understatement. The care and attention the staff give are incredible and it’s such a comfort to be able to walk away and spend the day at work safe in the knowledge that he is being cared for so well and is having fun! I’m able to concentrate on my job and not worry and that’s all any parent could ask for.
    I can’t recommend Children 1st enough. They’re not perfect, I’m not sure any are, but for us, they’re not far off. And I’m so grateful for the care he gets daily when I can’t be there.
    Thank you!

    Amazing staff with so much heart and caring mindset. It’s wonderful seeing my son get excited about going to nursery here.
    The teachers really make an effort to engage the kids and develop them in a very individualised way. The management is really committed to providing a safe, fun, and loving environment and we’re very thankful to the whole team.

    We have three children who attend this nursery setting and our eldest is soon to be leaving for school. He’s spent the last 4 years of his life coming twice a week and choosing Children 1st at Syston has been one of the best decisions we’ve made for him. He has received the best care right from day one, the level of support and attention has never wavered and he’s absolutely thrived into a confident, happy, creative boy who is now totally ready for school. Our twin daughters have not been going for long but have settled in brilliantly and knowing how challenging it can be with twins makes me admire the love and dedication they show for our two. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to all the wonderful staff who take such good care of our children and make leaving them bearable. You do a fantastic job and we appreciate it beyond words.

    My son (nearly 2) currently attends the nursery and has done since he was a baby. My older son (now at school) also attended from 1-5 years.
    The nursery have been absolutely fantastic from day one. They are attentive to each child’s individual needs and take care to give time and attention to all the children there. With a consistently compassionate approach, the team provide a high quality of childcare and strive to keep parents involved at every step of the nursery journey.
    Thank you to everyone at Children 1st Syston. I have always felt comforted by your caring, skilled staff and would recommend the setting to any future parents.

    An amazing nursery with brilliant staff. My daughter is currently in early years and has been with Children 1st @ Syston Day Nursery since January 2022! The best nursery and have felt comfortable with leaving my daughter in the care of the wonderful staff. Her development since starting has been outstanding and I can not recommend this place enough. There is so much for the children to do on a day-to-day basis and one-to-one support is incredible.

    Incredibly friendly nursery staff. Both my sons attend this nursery in Syston and I can’t thank them enough. My eldest son will be leaving soon to start school and he has developed so much with the support and teaching of his EYFS (early years foundation stage) teachers! He is now so confident and loves his nursery days! My youngest son has been at nursery nearly a year and again his confidence has developed so much. He can now build relationships with other children and adults so much more easier than before! The nursery staff are a great bunch and are always polite and always child-focused! The whole feel of the nursery is amazing; it’s clean, welcoming and with lots of activities for the kids to enjoy! The food is also excellent. The chef is incredible and my kids both always eat amazing when they attend their nursery days! Thank you to all at Children 1st @ Syston.

    The staff are outstanding at Children 1st @ Syston Day Nursery. They are caring and loving towards the children. Both my daughter and my son have adored each and every staff member that has looked after them. Facilities and garden are great too, couldn’t recommend it enough.

    Outstanding nursery, every single staff member is so friendly and welcoming.
    The nursery itself is spotless, a fantastic environment for all age groups. Food is amazing, the girls in the kitchen are such a wonderful team. My boy went here five mornings a week for three years, now my little girl has been here since she’s been 10 weeks old and will continue to go here until she starts school. My children absolutely love it and so do I. It’s by far the best nursery in Leicester. I am so pleased with it.
