We’re awesome
but don’t just take our word for it

I’m so glad me and my kids started coming here everyone is fantastic, there is lots of activities for the kids to do and they really enjoy it. The playscheme is great my son doesn't normally go anywhere but he loved going on days out with everyone. They have helped me so much when I first started coming here I felt like I was struggling a little bit with certain things but having people who care, listen and give advice if you ask for it has made a massive difference. Thank you

Kieran loves using Families First for after school and in the holidays. With his understanding being that of a 9 month old, the way he let's us know if he's not happy is temper tantrums. These he has not had for a while and never when using Families First. The service is fantastic and gives me as a parent peace of mind my child is being cared for when I'm at work. He is not an odd one out due to his disability. I cannot recommend this service enough. The staff are wonderful always helpful and friendly and again my peace of mind when it comes to others looking after Kieran. This is paramount and Families First certainly gives me this.
