Sheffield Nursery

What makes us magical at Children 1st @ Sheffield?

Our fantastic and unique role play ‘Market Place’ which reflects our diverse surrounding community! We believe at Sheffield that our recent refurbishment has created an amazing role play space which enables our children to unlock their imagination, providing the foundation of their learning journey.

These are some of the many reasons parents rate us 9.9/10 on DayNurseries.co.uk.

We begin right from the baby suite where the very tiniest of our babies are loved by specialist baby practitioners in a unique environment designed to stimulate their senses. We move into our toddler rooms where our children can experience life on the high seas in their purpose built pirate ship and then move onto our early years’ children who can take a walk to their specially created market place, stop off to post a letter at the post office or call in to the café for a bite to eat!

Situated just outside the centre of the city we are in an ideal place to take advantage of the diversity of the city ensuring that our families in Sheffield are well represented – they like nothing more than looking for their country represented on our ‘wall of flags.’

Our split level building provides its own unique feel, ensuring that the younger children in the downstairs nursery feel safe and secure whilst the older children upstairs have a space to call their own where they can play, learn and explore. Our dedicated nursery managers are two of our longest serving team members and between them have notched up an amazing 35 year partnership with Children 1st. This long term commitment is spread throughout their team, with many of the staff members having been with us for 5, 10 and even 15 years. The team at Sheffield are as passionate about their children and families as they have always been and they would love to show you round their wonderful nursery.
