Nursery Manager
Kate Horsely

My name is Kate Horsley, and I am the Derby Road Nursery Manager.

I have worked at Children 1st across several nurseries for just over 29 years. I started in 1995 when I joined as a trainee Nursery Nurse, and over the years, I completed my NVQ Level 3 and other training courses, followed by senior, deputy, and management training.

As a full-time mum to three children who have attended Children 1st nurseries, I understand the importance of quality care and have full confidence in the care we provide here, having seen the positive impact of our nurseries firsthand with my own children. We are not just a nursery; we are a family, and we are committed to supporting both your child and your family every step of the way.

I would be delighted to meet you and your family for a tour and show you what makes our nursery the perfect place for your child's next chapter.

Cooking together

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.

Making a difference

Our Community

We believe in the power of kindness and the importance of giving back. We’re always looking for ways to support good causes and get involved in our community, helping to make a positive impact where it’s needed most.

Throughout the year, we’ll be organising a range of fun and meaningful fundraising activities, from bake sales and dress-up days to sponsored challenges and community events. It’s a great way for our children, families, and team to come together, have fun, and make a real difference.
