First Class Nursery Ltd

It was a difficult decision and we struggled to find somewhere we liked until we went for a visit here. Despite my apprehension about how he would settle somewhere new, he adapted and came along so much in a few short weeks of being here! We have been so pleased with the education and assistance provided, and the care and professionalism by all the team we have encountered (both permanent and bank). It has been excellent to hear and see the development he is making and he speaks so fondly of the friends he has made as he does the team that take care of them. Our son loves the community interactions with the local care home, and visits to the parks, farm and even local shops. It’s excellent how this childcare centre thinks outside the box to help the kids develop. We moved our son to First Class Childcare centre when he was two and a half as his then childcare centre could not offer funded places when he turned three.

The team is highly welcoming and takes the time to go over the day’s highlights. My kid has not once complained about having to go to childcare centre in the nearly two years he’s gone there now and consistently seems to delight in their day. I’m planning to have my second kid attend this childcare centre as well. 4/5 stars regarding cleanliness as our kid has got highly dirty hands when coming back from childcare centre sometimes, so maybe an extra washing of hands a day would help. But certainly not an setting which isn’t spotless! 4/5 stars regarding management since the last management change appears to have resulted in less contact with parents. I have yet to meet the new management. Otherwise a highly organised childcare centre. Outstanding childcare centre providing a attentive setting with excellent variation in activities to allow kids to learn.

The team consistently have time to discuss any worries we may have, as well as just a general catch-up of what they’ve been doing that day. I adore seeing the photographs showing what enjoyable activities he’s been up to on the private Facebook page. The food is consistently a hit with my son too and he tries lots of foods that he wouldn’t dream of trying at home. We have nothing but positive things to say about First Class Childcare centre.

The team are highly attentive and enthusiastic. Our son loves them all equally. Updates is prompt and detailed. We received regular updates on discovering and development towards goals. The setting is lovely too, small and intimate, next to excellent outdoor activities such as a playground, the river path and woodlands, plus the Heritage Centre is just a short walk away. Our journey with First Class Childcare centre was outstanding.

First Class Childcare centre is a bit far from our house, but we truly liked the initial tour, and the information we were given so we decided to go for it. I am glad that we went for First Class Childcare centre because our son had an incredible time. The team is so welcoming and expert. I would strongly suggest First Class Childcare centre. We moved to the area and visited a few nurseries for our 2-years-old son.

From day 1 she has settled in brilliantly and loves all the team which is a big relief when you sense guilty leaving your kid so you can go to work. She loves the food and I adore seeing all the photo updates of what she has been getting up to via their Facebook page and discovering journals. I delight in the events in the childcare centre e.g. carol singing as it allows me to see inside the childcare centre and see where she plays, eats etc. The only thing that could be improved in my opinion is a regular “parents evening” so I can discuss her development in a relaxed manner and not a quick chat with the ladies at the door at pick up. Also, could the handover be online (on the discovering journals app or something similar)? I know this is not something that can be turned around quickly but something to look into for the future perhaps. My daughter absolutely loves the childcare centre.
