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 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

My wife and I decided to send our eldest daughter to Child 1st and now our youngest attends too.
The staff really make the nursery. Each and every one of them are fantastic and have looked after our girls with so much care and kindness.
Our eldest is now at pre-school but absolutely loved her time
at Child 1st and firmed incredible bonds with some of the staff.
Our youngest daughter has really struggled to settle and has been very upset at drop offs and during the day. However, the staff have displayed kindness, empathy and patience and we feel reassured she is in great hands.
The staff send regular updates on the app as well as updating us about the key parts of their day (food, naps, nappy changes).
I would recommend Child 1st to any parents exploring nursery options in the local area.
Thank you all so much for everything you do.

The nursery is amazing.
I was so upset and sad sending my child to nursery when returning to work from maternity, they had only been with myself and close family.
The nursery quickly changed my mind, my two children love it there, and all the staff are kind, caring, funny, and compassionate. Now I
feel the same sadness one is leaving to go to school because nursery is such a big part of his life. At home, he talks about staff constantly in a lovely way. He will miss it there! Definitely recommend it.

My child has been in the baby unit at Child 1st Coleshill for 12 months and he has been thriving, he loves going in with a smile on his face and he has come on leaps and bounds!
He has developed in his speech, numbers, colours and he plays well with other children. The staff are caring and are facilitating
of his eczema treatments.

We have been really impressed with the nursery. Our daughter is in the baby room and all of the staff have been great; from making an effort to learn how to say her name properly before she even started to get to know her interests to aiding handovers in the morning and keeping us updated and sharing
what she is up to. We couldn't have asked for more from her start at nursery at 13 months. Now a couple of months in and she has some lovely relationships, seems happy to be going most days and is even learning to say the names of all of her favourite staff.

Cannot recommend this nursery enough. My daughter has struggled to settle and with her special needs it has been difficult but the nursery have helped her so much and worked with us to put strategies in place to try and help my little girl! One member of staff in particular is amazing with my daughter
and I can't thank her enough for all she is doing to help her.

Both our little girls love this nursery. I would have no hesitation in recommending it to others who are looking. The ladies who run it are lovely and very caring. I like that there is fresh food made on site and that nappies and milk powders are provided as it makes things so much more convenient.

I can really start to see his little personality come alive. The staff are so lovely and are always there to help. Thank you everyone

My son is 2 and started at the beginning of November. So far he is loving it. He can be shy and doesn’t really go to strangers. He has warmed up to the ladies in the toddler room so quickly and doesn’t want to leave at home time! He loves going to nursery. We viewed a few in the area and this is the
one that caught our eye and made us feel welcome.

I honestly can’t say enough how happy I am with Child 1st Coleshill. I was so apprehensive about sending my daughter to nursery after my maternity leave but I need not have worried. All the staff are so lovely and supportive and my daughter absolutely loves going. They are always doing lots of fun and
educational activities and the food cooked by the chef is nice, varied and healthy. My daughter’s speech and physical development have come on so much since she started, nearly 1 year ago now. It’s just so comforting to know that when she is there she is happy and very well looked after.

I was so worried when my son first started he was only nine months, but now he is thriving. He loves being there and loves all the girls. I feel he’s come on so much with his speech and overall development. I don’t worry at all now when he is there which is such a relief when you’re back at work. He
will be going into toddlers in November and I know that they will be just as good in there. I’m really glad I chose this nursery!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.912)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.912) out of 10 for Child 1st (Coleshill) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.912 for Child 1st (Coleshill) is calculated as follows: ( (241 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 261 Ratings = 4.912

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Child 1st (Coleshill) is based on 22 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 88 number of registered child places is 17.6, which has been reached with 22 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
