First Friends Day Nursery - Wootey

My first child is still at the nursery and my second started today. The team and management are amazing, they make you feel a part of it all. I cannot say enough good things about this nursery. It was exactly what we wanted. Free roaming indoors and out, activities and play for the littles and when they are bigger they have a better routine ready for school but with all the fun still! We love it.

My 3 year old daughter has settled in so well to this lovely nursery. The staff were so accommodating with my daughter’s settling in needs and she has been very well occupied with the great range of activities and toys available at the nursery.
My daughter has her favourite member of staff but all of them are lovely and my daughter is very happy there. Because the nursery is located on the school site, the nursery children get to use the school grounds and join in with school activities, which I hope will make the transition to school easier when the time comes. My daughter tells me she wants to go to nursery every day!

I would highly recommend this nursery setting. My son loves going there and speaks so fondly about it. The team are excellent, taking each child as an individual, and providing a personalised service. Thank you!

Very welcoming setting and staff. My daughter always comes home telling me about the exciting things she has been up to and who she has played with. She took a little while to settle being very anxious leaving the house but the nursery manager and the team came up with new ideas to help her settle and make sure myself and my daughter were happy each time. It wasn’t long before she had smiles on her face every day and was happy to go in. Can’t thank the team enough for making sure she is thriving and happy.

My child attended nursery elsewhere prior to First Friends and I was adamant nothing would top this. His first few months at First Friends met my standards which were already very high. However, as he attended this nursery more and more I noticed that this was by far the best I had seen (and I have seen most in the area). The staff know him in some ways better than I do. His behaviour has improved by miles, he is such a sociable and friendly character and he is developing far beyond his age group which the staff never fail to praise him for. He is so happy to go to nursery which only proves how well they are looked after. Every week he comes home with paintings/ food they made/ stories about his day. I’m not an easy parent to please with friends and family members having worked in the industry themselves, but we are all stunned by how professional but personal First Friends is. I cannot praise the staff enough for how happy they make him and how much they clearly do for the children.

All the staff are just incredible and have made my little girl so so happy and they have got rid of her separation anxiety completely! I couldn’t fault this nursery at all. All so caring and do a proper handover am and pm which is rare to find! Just amazing.

My son has attended First Friends for just over a year now. Staff are approachable, extremely helpful and friendly. My son’s development has really come on, and I genuinely believe it is partly down to his time spent at nursery. He is always happy to go in and is provided with activities to learn and have fun throughout the day. I have felt as a parent that I am listened to, and the staff work with parents on routines and naps if needed.

Great nursery with a kind caring team. My three year old skips into First Friends without a backward glance and thoroughly enjoys his time there. He often brings back reams of craft he has worked on throughout the week. He spends lots of time in the garden and particularly enjoys the mud kitchen and the balance bikes. Our eldest is at the school next door which makes it a very convenient location for us. The manager has organised events including parent’s evening, Halloween and an upcoming children in need event which my child is looking forward to. My child is very happy at the nursery and has been encouraged to make some lovely friends.

My 3 year old has just started and what an amazing experience so far, he is having the best time and loves coming to nursery and that’s made so much better by how lovely and attentive the staff are. They have not only made my son feel so welcome but have also eased any worries we had when he first started. He is learning so much while being there and we are so excited to see how much he develops before school.

My son loves going to First Friends Day Nursery when he first started he did not speak English and he learned it with in a few weeks time all the staff is kind with my son and he has the best day in nursery, loves going to nursery and has fun with all his friends.
