About Kids 1st Durham
Kids 1st Durham is a registered day nursery on Old Dryburn Way, set close to the University Hospital of North Durham on the northern side of the city and handy for the hospital, the A691 and the neighbourhoods around Framwellgate Moor. It provides full day care across age-appropriate rooms, from a baby room to pre-school, with a structured early-years curriculum, freshly prepared meals and secure outdoor play areas, in a purpose-suited, Ofsted-inspected setting rather than a home-based arrangement.
Its location is particularly convenient for parents working at the hospital and around north Durham, with parking on hand for drop-off and pick-up. The nursery takes funded early-years hours for eligible children alongside paid places and opens long weekday hours to fit around shift patterns and working days. Fees, room availability and funded-hour places vary through the year, so contact the nursery to arrange a look round and confirm current details.
