## About this day nursery

Children 1st @ Leek, part of the Storal family, offers a welcoming and homely nursery environment in the market town of Leek, catering to children aged 6 weeks to 5 years. The nursery focuses on supporting children's development from an early age through high-quality care and education.

They pride themselves on fostering a close-knit community where children feel safe, happy, and inspired. The admission process is designed to be supportive, starting with an online registration of interest, followed by nursery visits for families to experience the setting firsthand.

Their outdoor space is designed to encourage exploration, active play, and discovery. Children 1st @ Leek also provides amenities such as infant formula, homemade meals and snacks, health and hygiene consumables, and various extracurricular activities, all included in the fees.

Inclusion & environment

## How they support every child

SEND provision

When children's progress gives cause for concern, staff consult with parents. Staff plan and implement programmes of intervention effectively. This enables staff to seek timely advice from specialist professionals. Children in receipt of additional funding are supported well, and gaps in children's development and progress close steadily.

Outdoor space

Children eagerly participate in short sessions of yoga. This helps them to gain increasing control of their movements. Some two-year-old children successfully stand on one leg during a yoga session, while others solve the problem by placing their hands on a low surface to complete the move, developing their balance and core strength.

I am delighted to share my positive experience with Buckingham's nursery, having enrolled two of my children there. I wholeheartedly recommend this wonderful establishment. The staff are exceptionally friendly, professional, and attentive, creating a warm and welcoming environment for the children. My boys are always happy and eager to return home after their day at nursery. They benefit greatly from the engaging learning activities and form meaningful friendships with their peers. The nursery is impeccably maintained, clean, and well-organized, ensuring a safe and comfortable space for the children. Additionally, the food menu is thoughtfully curated, offering nutritious and appealing options. Overall, Buckingham's nursery provides a nurturing and enriching environment that I trust wholeheartedly.

We are so grateful to have found Children’s First - Buckinghams Nursery. From day one, Miss Amanda and Miss Katie took our son under their wing, making him feel safe, supported and truly understood. They genuinely know each child as an individual and encourage their development with so much care and patience. Our little boy is now thriving he loves going to nursery and comes home happy every day. We feel completely at ease knowing he’s in such wonderful hands and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

We’ve had such a positive experience with Buckinghams and couldn’t be happier with the care our son receives. The staff are genuinely lovely, kind, and attentive, and it’s clear how much they enjoy working with the children. It’s such a clean, warm, nurturing environment and we feel very lucky to have found it.
