On your marks, get set, go!
Children 1st @ Plumtree are delighted to be the main sponsor of the Crossdale 10K: a fantastic community event, promoting values that are close to the heart of Children 1st nurseries – supporting local children; championing high standards of education, health and well-being, and promoting the importance of community participation and family values.
Established in 1988, Children 1st @ Breedon House is a family-run business that started as a single nursery in Long Eaton.

The company has expanded throughout the East Midlands and beyond, with 11 nurseries out of 15 holding the prestigious Ofsted Outstanding rating, but the vision remains the same - to provide the best in care, stimulation and education in a safe, homely environment.
Further information can be found on our Website, www.children-first.co.uk, by emailing enquiry.children1st@breedonhouse.co.uk or by calling our free telephone number 0800 652 1052.
