Kids 1st Ashbrooke Sunderland

From day one, Kids 1st has been amazing to our daughter. She has grown up so much and that’s all down to the team. They really help with her food issues and always offer the extra support we need. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Kids 1st Sunderland is an absolutely incredible nursery. The staff, especially the keyworker, deputy manager and manager have been incredibly flexible and understanding about my daughter’s anxiety about starting nursery, providing extra settling in sessions at no charge. Her keyworker is very caring, stimulating and nurturing, and she’s taken the time to get to know our daughter really well, and she treats her as an individual. She has a great, varied and healthy diet, gets good quality sleep and gets to play with a range of stimulating toys. In the two weeks she’s been there she’s developed enormously. The nursery is clean and relaxed, the children are happy and calm, and the facilities are fantastic – lots of outdoor space, spacious, bright and well-decorated rooms. I have complete confidence in the team caring for my daughter. I know that when I drop her off, she’ll be in a safe, fun and caring environment, and she’ll have a great day. Thank you so much.

My son has been attending for over a year now since he was 10 months old. He settled in very well as the staff were very good each morning at drop off by giving him cuddles and making sure he was feeling secure with them. The nursery has an excellent food menu which is displayed so that I can see what he’s going to be having. I get a talk through at pick up of what he’s been up to during the day, what he’s had to eat and how long he’s napped all of which is very good at giving me insight into what his day has been like.

My son has been attending this nursery for over one year and he loves it. Overall an excellent nursery and would 100% recommend.

What makes Kids 1st special are the staff.
Our little one builds great relationships and has built great skills.

Great management with a great team, my child is really happy here and coming on so well.
Food is great and varied, sessions planned around seasonal events are great and fun for kids.
Would highly recommend Kids 1st to anyone.

Kids 1st is an exceptional nursery, with courteous and welcoming staff. The reason the nursery was chosen for our grandchildren was the staff, their professionalism, caring positive attitude and kindness. Each day, we and our grandchildren, are greeted with smiles and a great positive attitude, and we know they are in safe hands. We always receive feedback each day, and we can see how the children have developed increased social skills and confidence. The management team are tremendous, and obviously hold very high standards; they are also extremely approachable, coupled with intelligent initiative.

Always a friendly welcome from staff when dropping off my daughter. I picked this nursery because of the purpose-built building/layout. I feel my daughter is safe and well looked after each day. She always seems happy when collected and asks to go back on her way home. Keep up the good work!

My little girl has attended Kids 1st Sunderland since she was ten months old, now four years old and she absolutely loves it. The staff are all so amazing, so friendly and welcoming and I know she is in safe hands when I drop her off. All of the rooms are great, always clean and full of interesting activities, as well as the outdoor space each room has and they have a great way of making learning fun. The manager is genuinely fantastic, I’m sure she knows every child by name and is a real asset to them. We will be really sad when my little girl leaves this summer to go to school. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.

My daughter loves going to nursery. I am very happy with the standard of care she receives each time she is there. The nursery is very clean and doesn’t have that odd smell that some nurseries and schools have. I love that they have a garden for the children to play in. It has been lovely to watch my daughter progress through the different rooms that are available for different ages of children. The staff are very caring, my daughter has a good bond with the staff members in her room both past and present. The variety and quality of food is great. Overall I would highly recommend this nursery.
