    Both my sons attend this childcare centre 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 assistance and teaching of his EYFS (early years foundation stage) educators! He is now so confident and loves his childcare centre days! My youngest son has been at childcare centre nearly a year and again his self‑assurance has developed so much. He can now build relationships with other kids and adults so much more easier than before! The childcare centre team are a excellent bunch and are consistently polite and consistently kid-focused! The whole sense of the childcare centre is incredible; it’s spotless, welcoming and with lots of activities for the kids to delight in! The food is also outstanding. The chef is incredible and my kids both consistently eat incredible when they attend their childcare centre days! Thank you to all at Kids 1st @ Syston. Incredibly welcoming childcare centre team.

    He’s spent the last 4 years of his life coming twice a week and choosing Kids 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 assistance and attention has never wavered and he’s absolutely thrived into a confident, cheerful, 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 adore and dedication they show for our two. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to all the fantastic team who take such great care of our kids and make leaving them bearable. You do a remarkable job and we appreciate it beyond words. We have three kids who attend this childcare centre setting and our eldest is soon to be leaving for school.

    They are attentive and loving towards the kids. Both my daughter and my son have adored each and every team member that has looked after them. Facilities and garden are excellent too, couldn’t suggest it enough. The team are outstanding at Kids 1st @ Syston Day Childcare centre.

    Team are welcoming and outstanding management. My daughter loves childcare centre which makes me adore the childcare centre in turn. I sense my daughter is secure and cheerful in this childcare centre. Great service and highly accommodating.

    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. We are cheerful overall, precious team and attentive setting.

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

    Upon meeting the welcoming team, we both felt at ease as we knew our son would be in great hands. All the team at Kids 1st are not only welcoming but are highly great with all the kids, they are genuine and highly supportive with each kid’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 secure in an setting where he feels loved. I can’t thank the team at Kids 1st enough for their compassionate 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 self‑assurance has grown and he has made lots of friends at the childcare centre, some of whom have gone to his new school with him. Our daughter is currently at the childcare centre and is too having enjoyable and discovering something new every day. I highly suggest Kids 1st, as an incredible start. My husband and I visited a few nurseries before we chose Kids 1st Day Childcare centre.

    Now with my second kid there, we sense at ease that both kids are well looked after by the fabulous team, and discovering 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 team do to provide an incredible daycare setting for all the kids. The team have consistently been accommodating and welcoming. All the team at Kids 1st are incredible.

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

    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 childcare centre, 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 consistently sounds so great too, our son highly rates the cook.
    Thank you to Kids 1st @ Syston Day Childcare centre! I cannot thank this childcare centre enough.

    My older son (now at school) also attended from 1-5 years.
    The childcare centre have been absolutely remarkable from day one. They are attentive to each kid’s individual needs and take care to give time and attention to all the kids 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 childcare centre journey.
    Thank you to everyone at Kids 1st Syston. I have consistently felt comforted by your attentive, skilled team and would suggest the setting to any future parents. My son (nearly 2) currently attends the childcare centre and has done since he was a baby.

    Food is incredible, the girls in the kitchen are such a fantastic 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 kids absolutely adore it and so do I. It’s by far the best childcare centre in Leicester. I am so pleased with it. Outstanding childcare centre, every single team member is so welcoming and welcoming.
    The childcare centre itself is spotless, a remarkable setting for all age groups.

    They have been incredible throughout, we started during the pandemic so it hasn’t been easy at times making decisions, but the childcare centre has been highly understanding and supportive. My daughter cannot wait to go to childcare centre 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 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 Kids 1st.

    They are highly well organised and give excellent care to my little boy. He has settled in highly well in each new room and is consistently cheerful to be dropped off. Thank you. I have been highly pleased with the childcare centre.

    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 team are lovely and we have seen how much she has improved in so many areas. The childcare centre itself is lovely and set out so well to keep the kids entertained and secure. Can not suggest them enough. Thank you to all for looking after our little girl. I am so pleased with how well our daughter has settled and thrived at childcare centre.

    My daughter has truly come out of her shell here. She is confident and highly chatty at childcare centre. She knows all her carers well and enjoys the activities. She consistently comes home with plenty of things to talk about. Since her time at childcare centre her updates has vastly improved with adults and her peers. She enjoys discovering through the playtime activities. All the team are fantastic.

    My daughter is currently in early years and has been with Kids 1st @ Syston Day Childcare centre since January 2022! The best childcare centre and have felt comfortable with leaving my daughter in the care of the fantastic team. Her development since starting has been outstanding and I can not suggest this place enough. There is so much for the kids to do on a day-to-day basis and one-to-one assistance is incredible. An incredible childcare centre with exceptional team.

    My son has truly struggled to settle in, not because of the childcare centre but because he was pretty much isolated for a year so was a big shock for him, the team have been patient and fantastic with him. He now loves it. The team are all so excellent and I adore that they don’t just look after my son. He is constantly discovering and experiencing new things. If I have any ‘issue’ they are so quick and expert to help me address it. Would fully suggest. I just adore this childcare centre.

    It’s fantastic seeing my son get excited about going to childcare centre here.
    The educators truly make an effort to engage the kids and develop them in a highly individualised way. The management is truly committed to providing a secure, enjoyable, and loving setting and we’re highly thankful to the whole team. Incredible team with so much heart and attentive mindset.

    For me, the right childcare centre for my son was of paramount importance.
    I’d been to see a couple but I just didn’t sense right. We then visited Kids 1st and I cried when we came out. Since that first visit, my son has consistently loved being at childcare centre; 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 team give are incredible and it’s such a comfort to be able to walk away and spend the day at work secure in the knowledge that he is being cared for so well and is having enjoyable! I’m able to concentrate on my job and not worry and that’s all any parent could ask for.
    I can’t suggest Kids 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! As a mother, one of the hardest things you have to do is return to work and place your kid in the care of another.
