It's a bitter-sweet feeling that runs through our veins. Saying goodbye to so many beautiful faces with incredible personalities and qualities is never easy. Preparing children for the future ahead of them is what we pride ourselves on, but saying goodbye is always hard. Kids 1st Wansbeck's preschoolers celebrated their graduation last Wednesday, 11th July. They were so excited to perform their songs and speeches that took months of preparation in front of their families. We don't want to say goodbye, but at the same time we're so excited to see what the future holds for every single one of these children. This must-read blog post documents every single second of this very special day at nursery. Congratulations, Dolphins!
Yesterday, Kids 1st Nurseries attended the Mothercare Expectant Parent event in Gateshead, and our beautiful mascot, Bobby, couldn't miss the opportunity to say hello to all the children and their parents. He also handed out brochures and pens to the adults, and balloons and sweeties to the little ones! An incredibly fun event and evening that we documented through the camera lens. We cannot wait to do this again. Read more on this blog post.

On the 29th November we visited Kids 1st Sunderland to spend time with the children, taking lots of pictures and playing in the snow! The nursery's atmosphere is very inviting, and staff have an excellent understanding of how children learn. Check out this adorable post with lots of pictures from the nursery and the snow!
