At Child 1st, they understand children and put them first. Their primary aim is to ensure children learn and play in a happy and fun-filled environment.

Staff are highly-qualified and experienced and ensure children's developmental needs are recognised and met in an environment where they can develop their full potential.

They understand that it can be hard to leave a child in nursery so they ensure parents are included every step of the way.

They offer pre-visits to discuss babies’ needs and keep daily diaries where they record information – such as how much milk they have had, what they have eaten (where applicable), nappy changes, sleep and rest time.

Staff inspire children’s hunger for knowledge through play, language and music and organise activities that stimulate the imagination.

My son started here in January, he's loved it, he's settled in perfectly and it's all down to the staff. The communication is great and all the staff are very welcoming. I would recommend this nursery to everyone.

I was always unsure how my daughter would take going to nursery, but she loves it! She loves the staff, all the activities, and garden time. She only joined early January 2025 and her speech, independence and playing nicely has all grown. I also love that the staff keep us informed during the day via
the apps for food, toilet breaks, sleep and also that we're able to contact and check in at any given time.

Child 1st is a great nursery for my little boy. He enjoys himself whilst he's there and the team take great care of him. Communication is great and very efficient. It's great to see observations on a regular basis to see how's he's developing. Great also to see activities planned each week for exploration
and developing independence.

My son has been going since he turned two in nursery and is now in preschool. From the beginning communication between the nursery/preschool and myself has been outstanding with updates on how his day has been, what he has eaten and observations. My son's progress has been amazing. The nursery and even
more preschools have gone up and beyond for my son and his interests. All the staff are very friendly.
I couldn't have picked a better way to start my son's journey. I feel my son is safe and secure there. Thanks again all.

My little girl loves going to nursery. She always comes out with a massive smile on her face! Always has a dry nappy when I pick her up. All the staff are lovely, the updates and photos you get are reassuring for those who are leaving them at the early stages. It lets you know when they nap, eat and
when they have changed their nappy. Great Nursery definitely recommend it.

Our daughter started nursery at Child 1st in December 2024. My husband and I have been overwhelmed by how caring and supportive the staff have been during what could have been a challenging milestone. Our daughter has settled in so well and we cannot thank the staff enough for the time, effort and dedication
shown.
Communication has been prompt and we love receiving the daily updates and weekly developmental observations via the app. The weekly topics and the daily tasks are very creative and are so engaging for the children.
It has been wonderful to see how our daughter's development has thrived since starting nursery.
I have also been impressed to hear about how varied and balanced the menu is.
I feel content dropping off my daughter in the morning as I know she is in good hands.

It was very daunting leaving our little one at nursery for the first time but after a few tearful drops off at the beginning, our little girl now loves to go to all of the lovely staff who greet her at the door. All the staff are so good with her and she comes back a happy (albeit a bit tired) girl
every day. We love to see all the updates on the app and see what she is getting up to.
Would highly recommend it, cannot fault the wonderful team here!

Our first child (who is now 8) went to Child 1st and he loved it, so for us there was no other option for our second child this year as we had full trust that this was the nursery that would give him the support, learning, care that he needed and they haven't disappointed. From the first settle sessions,
when I was sat downstairs waiting and all I could hear were giggles from other rooms, I knew that it was still the best place for our boys. All the staff, especially 3 members of staff in particular are so lovely and our boy settled so quickly going in smiling and coming out even happier. Thank you we look forward to the next few years with you

Child 1st nursery in Solihull has surpassed all of our expectations. Our daughter's current key worker and the other girls in the baby room have been amazing with her. Not only has her key worker been very attentive with any enquiries we have regarding our little one, the key worker has always been
so thoughtful and caring, towards my little one and to me as her mother. I received a birthday card from my little one, handmade Christmas gifts and an endless amount of other pictures/drawings. These things are really important to parents! The management has also been brilliant with any minor issues we have ever had occur and have always ensured that we feel comfortable with any decisions made for our little one. Me and my partner love this nursery and do believe that we made the best decision by sending our daughter here. I've already recommended it to other friends of ours, without hesitation. Thank you girls for all of your hard work.

Our son started at this nursery back in May this year, and at the start he was very emotional and didn't want to attend nursery. The staff have been very patient with him and have given him the space to feel comfortable and gain confidence in a nursery setting. The room leader in his room has had a
really positive impact on him and he enjoys attending twice a week - the other staff in the room are also lovely and send us regular photos of the activities that they get up to.

My son has been attending Child 1st Solihull for around a year now and I cannot stress enough how fantastic this place is. They keep us informed throughout the day via an app, which as a first-time-mom is so reassuring, especially when they first start attending.
The activities the staff provide for
the children exceed all of my expectations with visits from external organisations such as dance and yoga instructors. The staff are so personable and always happy to have a chat at pick up and drop off times. My son is so happy there and we couldn't have chosen a better nursery for him. Thank you.

Child 1st is a fantastic nursery. I have one child who's been there for almost a year and another that started in September both of them really enjoy nursery and speak so positively about the staff members. I can't thank the team in pre-school enough, two staff members in particular and especially my
child's key person, who always gives great observations showing me what my child's been doing, what they are learning, what's next to come and so on, my child's so comfortable and happy around them. As well as the team in toddlers and my sons key person, who again is always so friendly so informative, supportive and kind. Big thank you to them all for all their support especially two staff members in particular, who I've known for a long time, they're a real credit to the nursery and do such a wonderful job.

So happy I chose this nursery for my daughter. She has been at nursery now a little over a year and she has come on so much since attending! Staff are all lovely and supportive but even more so in the toddlers (my daughter's current room) she loves attending! I feel very at ease knowing she is happy
and content.
Thank you all so much!

My daughter started of in babies at just 9 months, where she grew a lovely bond with all the girls but particularly her key person, she spent day in day out bonding with my child and making her first bit of time at nursery so amazing for both me and my child. She then went on to tots room where she
gained a really good connection with her new key worker. She would get really excited to go to nursery to see key key worker and all of her friends. Although her time was short in tots, her key worker still managed to gain the best bond with her. She's now in toddles and has really strong bonds with the staff and loves coming in to see her friends and get up to some fun stuff, she grew very close to her key person who she loves and has a really good bond with. She then went over to another member of staff's group and has really made such a good bond with the other staff member in the short while she's been in her group. The staff are all amazing throughout the nursery and I can't wait to send my new little girl here.

Child 1st has been amazing with the looking after and development of my son. With his autism diagnosis, they've been super helpful and are always pushing for the best care and support that he needs. He's been going to Child 1st since he was 1 and I can honestly say the development I've seen and progress
of my son has been massively influenced by the wonderful staff that work there. 100% would recommend this nursery as they really go above and beyond.

Just want to thank you and all the staff for the last few year caring for my children! Prior to us changing their nursery, my child was often very upset on drop off making it very difficult for us to drop him off some days, we couldn't be happier with the setting and support both children have received.
He now enjoys coming to nursery and doesn't even look back now! We can tell how much they have both come on and how much happier they are at nursery, which for us as parents is the best feeling knowing they are safe, developing and well looked after.
All the staff are an absolute credit and are so helpful, you can tell that they treat the children they look after as if they are their own!
Thank you again for the fantastic work you all do.

Amazing nursery!! Staff can never do enough to help and ensure my daughter is happy there. Both my kids attended Child 1st Bakewell nursery. My youngest has just moved up to the preschool room and her transition was really smooth. My eldest still talks of her happy times at nursery despite now being
