Kids 1st Hexham is located on Maidens Walk behind Hexham General Hospital. The nursery is split into rooms depending on age group and level of development and each room has direct access to large, well-equipped and challenging gardens which have been designed to suit the age groups that use them. In the academic year before the children are eligible for mainstream school they will enter the Kids 1st Pre-School. At Kids 1st Hexham we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) which covers children’s development and learning from birth to 5 years. We love to involve our parents through regular parents’ social evenings, at these events you will meet with your child’s key person who will talk to you about your child’s development.
