December 8, 2020 at 12:00 am10/10. My daughter seems to have settled so well and loves telling me what she has done and played with. The staff are all great and have been lovely since my daughter started and she is learning all their names and she seems happier since starting nursery.

December 8, 2020 at 12:00 amI love this nursery and all that it has been since my son joined 19 months ago. The forest school is incredible and the amazing things they do with the children to encourage learning new skills is lovely. I have really enjoyed having the same staff member throughout our journey.

December 8, 2020 at 12:00 amAfter two failed pre-schools with my eldest daughter, I was recommended to My First Word and I am so glad that I was. My youngest now attends the setting, that has since embraced the Forest School element of learning. This wonderful environment is developing an independent, confident, and – most importantly – VERY happy little lady. I cannot recommend the place enough!

December 8, 2020 at 12:00 amOur son looks forward to going to nursery each week and is very upset when it is time to leave. He loves the forest school, especially when there are muddy puddles to jump in. The nursery is very flexible if you require day changes. The staff are all kind, caring and accommodating and always have a smile on their faces. Our son has come on in leaps and bounds since starting there, especially in his speech, vocabulary, confidence and social skills. A highly recommended local nursery from happy parents.

December 20, 2020 at 12:00 amMy daughter attended and loved My First Word and now my son aged 4 does too. He started when he was 6 months and has grown and developed under the fantastic care of the staff here. Whenever my daughter and I collect my son, my daughter says she wishes she was still at My First Words and not school!. The nursery has all the features you’d expect of a nursery and more, space outside, play area, a forest school, a baby room, great homemade meals, genuinely caring staff and next door to a park. There really is no faulting this nursery.

April 20, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son is super happy with this nursery. The ladies are lovely and kind. Play time is great. The forest school this nursery has is amazing for child development, motor skills and creativity. Overall, I’m very happy with My First Word…Grows Up Portslade and I’d recommend it to all parents.

April 28, 2021 at 12:00 amMy both kids have been going to My First Word … Grows up since October and are always excited and happy to see the nursery building and staff. The staff are great and keep me regularly updated via the parent app and emails. They are always helpful rather, I would say, they go the extra mile to help and for the wellbeing of kids. I would recommend going to My First Word … Grows up in a heartbeat! Well done on the great job you all do!

May 5, 2021 at 12:00 amThis is a lovely nursery with a family feel. They have a great setup including a wonderful Forest School in the garden. My little one (17 months) went off without a backwards glance and is loving it.

May 22, 2021 at 12:00 amMy 1 year old has only been at the nursery a short time but has settled in so well! His key worker made him feel calm and safe from the moment he started. He is always happy and bouncy when I pick him up which shows how much fun he has had. The communication from the staff is excellent so I know exactly what his day has been like. He loves the outdoor area and we have already noticed his confidence, language and communication developing rapidly!

May 25, 2021 at 12:00 amMy children recently started here, they are both very happy here. The nursery has a real family feel to it. Staff are all lovely and attentive to the children’s needs, also easy to talk to. The forest school is fantastic for the children to get close to nature, enabling the children to appreciate nature in a world full of technology. They are always happy to re-arrange days to fit my needs of childcare. You can tell the staff really do care about the children.

May 25, 2021 at 12:00 amAn absolutely wonderful place! My daughter has never had any issues with not wanting to come to My First Word…Grows Up Porstlade as she has so much fun and loves spending time with her peers and the staff. When searching around originally for places to send her, I loved the fact that My First Word…Grows Up Portslade were so friendly and approachable with any questions I had. It truly has been wonderful to watch my daughter flourish in such a warm and inviting environment where she is happy and confident to get involved. The forest school is a particular favourite and she more often than not returns home covered in mud, paint and a huge smile on her face! The staff are fantastic, always on hand with any concerns and are incredibly helpful. They take great pride in caring, helping to teach and nurturing imaginations. I definitely recommended to anyone looking at a nursery placement, my daughter is due to start school soon and we’ll be sad to not see the same welcoming faces weekly, although excited for the next stage!

June 7, 2021 at 12:00 amThe nursery has helped support my children with toilet training, learning English, sharing skills and so much more. Every day the girls come home happy and talk all about their day at nursery. The nursery also settled my girls in really fast.

July 2, 2021 at 12:00 amMy child has settled really well and we have watched him grow from a little toddler into a young man with the help of all the staff at My First Word. We will miss him attending once he goes to school.

July 23, 2021 at 12:00 amThank you My First Word, we love everything about your service. My son is well looked after and is developing well and that’s a lot to do with your care and attention.
We highly recommend you all to our friends.

February 23, 2022 at 12:00 amWe are really happy with My First Word. My daughter (1 year old) is in nursery one full day a week and is very happy and settled there. She’s comfortable when I drop her off in the morning and always full of beans when I collect her. We love that the little ones regularly get outdoor play and messy activities. All the staff are lovely, they do a great job caring for the kids and they keep us updated about anything we need to know.

February 24, 2022 at 12:00 amWe love My First Word. The staff are lovely, the forest school is amazing. My child eats freshly cooked meals and is very happy to come to nursery, sometimes he doesn’t want to come home!

March 29, 2022 at 12:00 amOur daughter has just started at My first Word and so far so good. She settled in really quickly and thats down to the staff who’ve been very supportive in helping her to do so and have been very thoughtful and considerate on how to get the kids to interact with each other. It feels more like a family setting then your standard nursery setting, which to me has been invaluable as our daughter has grown in confidence and has found it easy to forge friendships easily.
