Child center in Nottingham

“1st time we've took the Kids and tjey enjoyed it. As a bonus you can park on site so it saves you a bit in parking charges, you can get a coffee and bits to eats while the kids are playing. Worth a visit”

“Having had a very bad experience at another nursery, as you can imagine, my child was reluctant to leave my side. My child also has mild separation anxiety. Being a lockdown child, she doesn't like to be left with strangers. She was only 3 when we found this nursery, and being anxious myself, knowing I had to leave my child again in the hands of strangers, I needed to find the perfect setting for my daughter. We looked at so many nurseries, but none were to my satisfaction. I honestly nearly gave up on the idea and was thinking about extending my work relief until she was in full-time education. Radcliffe Road Day Nursery was a breath of fresh air. I could instantly see how happy and cheerful the children were. The nursery was clean and smelled fresh. The staff were happy, helpful, and friendly. I analyzed body language and paid close attention to every detail. The way the staff engaged with my daughter and the other children in the setting impressed me right from the start. The outdoor area was fabulous - sand pit, water play, mud pit. They changed the children into puddle suits andwellie boots before going out to play. They got out of dirty clothes and washed hands upon their return. Genuinely, the children and staff all seemed to be having such great fun together. Professional, organized, clean, happy - I couldn't ask for a better nursery. It was slightly more expensive than the other places I visited, but honestly worth every penny. I would 100% recommend these ladies and gentlemen. I was very happy with every aspect. My daughter loves to go to the nursery, she loves her key workers, and has definitely excelled in her short time. Thank you to all the staff and keep doing what you are doing. Fabulous, truly fabulous. Thank you - 5-star!! I'd give 10 stars if I could.”

“The nursery has a caring and nurturing atmosphere and is well managed. The staff members are lovely and see the children as individuals. Our children have been very happy at Scott's Wood and I am glad we chose this nursery.”

“My son would live at nursery if he could. My eldest went to The Wolds and left only to start school. He’s always asking to go back and if he can pick my youngest up with me to see all the ladies that look after him again. My youngest is in inventors and does 3 days a week, the other 4 days of the week he talks about wanting to be there and when he’s going again. His speech, confidence and personality has come on in bundles. We live away from my family and they comment every-time they visit about how much he has changed. He comes home everyday to tell us what he has done and which friend he has played with.He nearly always has something to show me that he has made or we look an Famly to see what he has been up to. The app is great for this, we know when he’s napped and for how long. What he’s had for lunch and tea and how much. I wouldn’t want my boys to of gone anywhere else. I 100% recommend The Wolds and dread the day we have to say goodbye again and head to school. It’s like a family there and they’ve given him the most wonderful, fun and learning start to life. I will be forever greatful”

“My children have been part of Poplars Nursery School since 2012 and they have benefitted enormously from the ethos of the nursery, the smaller, home-like setting, and the care and attention of the staff. The staff know the children very well, and appreciate their personalities and where they are at in their development. They track their development in conjunction with parents with books which include plenty of photos so you can see what they have been up to. They do lots of fun activities, which are well thought through and promote their self-confidence and independence, In fact, a lot of thought goes in to their processes and activities and it's clear that the children enjoy being in this environment. My children have particularly enjoyed the visits from White Post farm, the annual nursery outings, the occasional outings to local sites and annual productions where they get to perform to all the parents and show them what they have been doing throughout the year. We have been delighted by the care and nuture this nursery has given all our children - thank you Poplars!”

“Absolutely love the staff at this nursery, they are a lot better with my son then a child minders was, I always get photos and updates they are kind and patient”

“It is a great nursery, my son was not settled in other nursery from more then 6 months and when he started here it takes only one month to settle him now he is happy to go there and learning lots of things I wil give this nursery 5/5. Thank you :-)”

“As a new mum of my first baby, sending her to nursery was just terrifying for me. It wasn’t a route I particularly wanted to take (no one wants to return from maternity leave but it has to be done in some situations!) We were recommended Childrens First from a friend and thought we’d just take a look. From our first visit with Kate (Nursery Manager), I knew this was the place my girl was going to thrive. Kate is truly incredible and you can tell from the moment you meet her, this isn’t a job to her, she loves those children as her own. She knew each child by name and circumstance as we were walking round. Nothing is too much for her, each child’s need are met by a each personal circumstance. They work round your child’s needs and routine which I thought was so important. As I mum you spend the first year of their life working on a routine and what works best for them, put them into a nursery and think that is just going to go out the window, absolutely not here. A few settling visits, dad was even able to pop and visit before her first day which was lovely as dads do generally have to miss out on things like this, but as I said, nothing is too much. From her first day, they aren’t assigned a key worker, they let your child pick who they take a shine to, which I LOVED. My daughter has took a shine to Miss Amy. Her first and second day she was particularly upset when I dropped her off, nothing less than I expected being in a strange setting, but I called a few hours later and Miss Amy put my mind at ease to say she calmed down within half an hour and has been making them laugh with her silly faces and giggles ever since. They cuddle them when they need it. I saw this with my own eyes during our settling visits, the younger babies that needed abit of extra comfort and support were sat on the knees of those wonderful ladies in the baby room whilst they still played with the other children. It is impossible to give each child 100%, im a realist, but they do there very best too and I cannot ask for any more. They are all super heroes in that room. Special mention to Millie on reception from greeting you with a smile every drop of and pick up! They really do put your Children First and everything else follows so naturally!”

“My son who has learning difficulties. Goes there three days a week”

They did lots of different fun activities and mum really loved the trips out on the bus. Wish the willows had facilities to be a care home , know it would be outstanding. Can’t thank the team enough for their kindness to mum.”
