Children learn through imaginative play in our carefully curated learning spaces such as our marketplace role-play area.
Our family feel creates a warm and nurturing space where children feel safe, valued, and inspired. Using natural resources, we spark curiosity and a love for learning.
We're proud of the diverse community we live in and celebrate a variety of cultural festivals with our children and families.
I qualified in 1993 with an N.N.E.B qualification and I have been working in childcare for 32 years, 30 of those years have been with Children 1st Sheffield, where I have worked from the ground up, starting as a Nursery Nurse and moving up the ladder to become the Nursery Manager in the year 2000.
We have an amazing team of practitioners and everyday our mission is for children to learn and have fun. What I love most about my role is offering exceptional nursery education for a culturally enriched community. Our nursery is located in the centre of Sheffield, and we strive everyday to combine our worlds together to create an accepting and wonderful place to be.
I am also our SEND lead and I am lucky to have skilled practitioners to work alongside to enable our SEND children to thrive every day.
Over the years I have had the privilege of being part of thousands of children’s journeys and I hope that this will continue for many years to come.
Children enjoy engaging cookery sessions, exploring ingredients and developing skills through hands-on fun. They also become curious about where food comes from, with opportunities to learn about growing ingredients, fostering a love for food.
Our bespoke food menus cater to various dietary requirements, ensuring every child can enjoy nutritious meals. With a wide range of meal options, we provide a diverse and inclusive dining experience that encourages healthy eating and introduces new flavors.
Our onsite chef prepares nutritious, delicious meals using locally sourced ingredients where possible. We introduce children to a variety of flavors, sparking curiosity, encouraging healthy eating habits, and fostering an appreciation for good nutrition from an early age.
At Children 1st Sheffield, we’re proud to be part of a caring and connected community. We’re supporting Sheffield Children’s Hospital, a charity that helps provide life-saving equipment, pioneering research, and a comforting environment for children and families during their time in hospital. The support offered goes beyond treatment, helping to make every child’s experience as positive and supported as possible.
Throughout the year, we’ll be getting together for lots of fundraising activities, from bake sales and dress-up days, to sponsored challenges. Together we can make a difference to such an important cause and inspire our children to grow with kindness and generosity. We can’t wait to see what we can achieve as a community! Keep an eye out for updates on our events and how you can get involved in supporting Sheffield Children’s Hospital.
Amidst all that learning, there’s plenty of time for play with games, creative activities and outdoor fun.
If children prefer some time away from the hustle and bustle, our quiet area is equipped with reading books and spaces to complete homework.
Whether it’s breakfast to start the day or a hearty meal after school, all of our nutritious food is freshly prepared daily.
