Nursery SchoolChild Care AgencyBusy Bees Holdings Limited
Kids 1st Nursery in Wynyard, Billingham provides outstanding childcare and daycare for families across Teesside. Located within the popular Wynyard development, our nursery offers modern learning environments, outdoor play areas, and engaging activities designed to inspire curiosity and creativity. Supported by experienced staff, NHS-accredited meals, and a child-focused curriculum, we help children flourish from baby room through to preschool.
We honestly couldn’t recommend this nursery enough. Our little boy started here at just 9 months old and stayed right through until he finished pre-school, and our little girl has now followed in his footsteps, also starting at 9 months old. We couldn’t be happier with the care they have both received.
We watched our little boy grow from a baby into a confident, happy little boy who was completely ready for school, and Kids 1st played such a huge part in that. It made choosing somewhere for our little girl incredibly easy, and seeing her now so settled and happy there means the world to us.
There is such a lovely, welcoming atmosphere and we’ve always felt that our children are genuinely cared for and loved. We’re so grateful for everything the team has done and continues to do for our family, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the nursery to anyone. ❤️

Both of my children have attended kids first in Wynyard and loved their time at nursery. Megan is very accommodating and makes the children feel safe and welcome. She takes the time to get to know children and their families. There are so many lovely members of staff including Caitlin, Charlea, Euan and Lorraine plus many more who go out of their way to make your children feel happy at nursery! Thank you so much for all you do.

Our daughter absolutely loved her time at Kids First Wynyard, and we are so grateful to all the staff for the huge part they played in her life, from when she arrived as a 1 year-old baby to when she left as a confident, happy little girl ready for school. We will really miss coming to nursery each day, where the staff were always cheerful and friendly. Special thanks to Megan who was incredibly helpful from our very first visit, and also to Charlotte, who was a brilliant key worker for our daughter in pre-school. We had great experiences with all the staff but in pre-school especially they really helped prepare our daughter for a lifetime of adventures with amazing patience and kindness. Thank you Anna, Charlotte, Euan, Megan and Rachel, and everyone at Kids First Wynyard!

The Team at Kids 1st Wynyard could not have made the transition into a nursery setting any nicer for our little girl. Super attentive staff who truly care about the little ones they look after and really do go over and above.

Kids First at Wynyard is such an amazing nursery. My 2 children have been since they were around 6months old. They have been so well cared for and love the staff.
Frequently Asked Questions About Kids 1st - Wynyard
Can I pay for hourly childcare?
We're afraid not – sorry. If you'd like a place at a Busy Bees nursery, your child will need to come along for at least two half sessions, or one full day, each week. Speak to your local nursery about your specific needs - they'll be more than happy to help.
Can my child come to nursery for just one day a week?
Yes, they certainly can! You can book a minimum of two half-day sessions or one full day each week. Just talk to your local nursery to discuss exactly what you need.
Do I need to pay extra for meals and snacks while my child is at nursery?
Your child's meals and snacks are all covered in your nursery fee, so you won't need to make any additional payments. Their nursery place includes breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a variety of tasty snacks throughout the day, and we can cater for all kinds of dietary requirements and allergies as well as fussy eaters. Just talk to your nursery team if your child has any specific needs. You can take a look at an example menu on our website in the "Eating Well" section.
Do you offer creche facilities?
Sorry, we don't offer creche facilities at Busy Bees nurseries. You'll need to book a minimum of two half-day sessions or one full day at nursery each week to book a place. Have a chat with your local nursery if you'd like to know more.
Do you offer funded places?
Of course! We know it's not always easy to cover the costs of childcare, so we're pleased to offer a variety of funding options at our nurseries – including 30 hours funded childcare. If you're not sure whether you qualify, speak to your local nursery to work out the right funding option for you. You can find more about childcare funding at Busy Bees in the "Quality Childcare" section of our website.
Do you offer taster sessions?
Yes, we do – we call them settling-in sessions. If you're interested in a settling-in session, start by booking a visit to your local nursery; they can tell you more about how it works.
Do you provide nappies?
Whether or not we provide nappies varies from nursery to nursery. In some, we offer an all-inclusive package that covers nappies for children under 2. In others, we ask parents to provide their own. Talk to your local nursery to check whether you'll need to supply your own nappies.
Do your nurseries have gardens?
Yes, they do! All of our nurseries have wonderful, fully equipped outdoor spaces for your child to explore. We plan every space carefully to extend learning opportunities, inspire creativity and – just as importantly – provide different ways to play. Resources like our mud kitchens, trikes and more are always available for children to use, and we run special activities outdoors too. Find your local nursery to learn more about their facilities.
How do I find my nearest nursery?
Simple! Just go on our website and click "Find your nursery". There are over 350 nurseries in the Busy Bees Group across the UK, that deliver high quality childcare and exciting learning opportunities that give every child a head start as they prepare for school.
How do I set up an account for UP?
If you are a Busy Bees parent, just enter the email address you have registered with nursery. This will be the same email that your invoices are sent to. If you are not sure which email address you have used you can check with your nursery manager. If you are a Busy Bees practitioner, your manager will provide you with your log in details.
How will I know if my child is settling in?
Starting nursery is an emotional time, for you as well as for your child. After all, it’s a big step! So, we’ll do everything we can to help your child settle in and give you peace of mind.
Before your child starts nursery, you're welcome to come for a settling-in session. During the session, you'll have the chance to watch your child explore nursery and interact with other children and staff. We'll also assign your child a Key Person. Their Key Person is your dedicated contact while your child is at nursery, and they'll keep you updated on their progress each day. If there are any problems at all, they'll let you know. Speak to your local nursery if you'd like to know more about settling-in sessions.
I don't have a child at a Busy Bees nursery; can I use the UP app?
Sorry – only parents of Busy Bees children and educators at Busy Bees will be able to use the app. It’s all part of how we give the children at our nurseries their very best start in life.
My child's a really fussy eater. Can I send them to nursery with a packed lunch?
For lots of children and for all kinds of reasons, food can be a bit tricky. In fact, that’s exactly why we don’t allow packed lunches or snacks from home at our nurseries; many of the children in our care have allergies, and we just can’t put their safety at risk.
Instead, we provide fresh and tasty breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacks at every one of our nurseries. Our menus are healthy, varied, and NHS approved, and we cater for special dietary requirements, cultural food choices, allergies, and fussy eaters, so every child can look forward to tasty food they love to eat. It’s all covered in your nursery fee, too. You can take a look at an example menu on our website in the "Eating Well" section.
What will I find on the UP app?
Our UP learning programme is jam-packed with activities and information, all designed to help your child learn and grow. You'll find professional advice from our team of experts on everything from healthy eating to preparing for school, as well as hundreds of activities for you to try. There are even 50 songs to listen, sing, and dance to with your child, recorded just for Busy Bees. You can learn more about UP on our website.
What's the UP app?
UP is Busy Bees unique learning programme and app, inspired by our promise to give children the best start in life, in and out of nursery.
"UP" stands for "Unleashing Potential", because that's exactly what we've designed this programme to do. Made for children aged 0 to 5, it's filled with an inexhaustible range of activities and advice for every age and stage of nursery children, and the app puts it all at parents fingertips. You can learn more about UP on our website.
What’s an Enrolment Event?

Then, if you decide to book a nursery place during the event, you'll receive an extra special offer* – it's our way of welcoming you to the family. Talk to your local nursery if you’d like to know more.
