Very friendly and helpful staff. My child has been attending this nursery for over a year and thoroughly enjoys going. They have been extremely helpful and accommodating especially during challenging times with Covid. My child has developed massively since attending this nursery. Overall very pleased.

The nursery is great in general. The food is done onsite, is healthy and at least my child love it. The staff is wonderful and there is no better proof of it than my little one going in by his own feet, happy and excited every single day of the week. We could not be happier with the result and skills
develop, and all the updates we are fed with during the day in the available app used by the staff. The installations of the nursery allow playing and developing skills indoor and outdoor, without any motor vehicle risk, in a separated and not transited area, which is wonderful. I feel safe leaving my son here, and I feel that every single day he has developed his skills even further, playing, painting, and learning new things on a daily basis. He returns home happy and excited for coming back in the day after.

My son has been attending this nursery since he was seven months old and he is now nearly three. All the staff, including the manager, have been brilliant since day one and have helped my son to develop in a varied environment. The food is always different every time he goes and he is always happy when
we pick him up. The staff are always professional, even in this difficult time.

I could not recommend this nursery enough. I have heard horror stories about other nurseries and I have to keep quiet as I have nothing but good comments. The manager and her team have gone above and beyond in a very difficult situation. Always smiling and always professional. The management at Head
Office have kept parents informed throughout and also provided endless links to keep everyone busy. Whilst on lockdown, the nursery continued to provide videos and pictures so the children never lost touch. Truly a wonderful nursery and staff that care. I am so privileged that my child is able to attend such a caring, kind and above all professional establishment. Well done.

My son has been with Child 1st since he was six months old and has just turned four. The nursery had provided excellent care of my son, continually monitoring his progress and adapting to his needs. The varied and fresh menu is brilliant and he is always doing lots of different activities to stimulate
learning. I would highly recommend this nursery.

My son has been at Child 1st for six months now and is a very happy boy there. The staff's commitment to ensuring a routine for the children has helped us enormously with weaning my son and he is always looked after wonderfully. He has a fantastic relationship with his principal carer and is always
happy when we drop him off and collect him. I have full confidence in the safety and safeguarding of my son whilst he is in the care of the staff.

My son has been attended this nursery since he was 8 months old and it is coming up to a year since he started. Since starting he has made a bond with each member of staff and has progressed so well.
I couldn’t think of a better place for him to be, he loves going to nursery and I couldn’t be happier
with how well they treat him and the range of activities they do each day.

My 1-year-old attends Child 1st (Coleshill) 3 days a week and our experience has been positive from the very start. The management were very accommodating when I had to make some last minute changes to his days of attendance and the baby room offered a number of settling in sessions which helped both
myself and my son prepare for his first day. All of the staff members I have encountered are helpful, friendly and approachable and have really bonded with my son. We are always greeted at the main entrance with a smile and often by name, by carers from other parts of the nursery. I love to hear all about his day at handover and knowing he is relaxed and happy at nursery has made returning to work a little less stressful.

My son started nursery after my maternity and before returning to my work. I used to call nursery almost every day for a month. And the staff have been so patient and updated me honestly.
All the staff in the baby unit and the nursery are so friendly and comforting. My son loves going there and sometimes
gets a bit gloomy when I pick him up in the evening. He is happy and settled and that’s really down to the love and nurturing he receives at nursery. Since my son started the nursery he has become quite active and is developing so well. We feel glad that we chose this nursery.

I was very nervous about sending my daughter to nursery. She was 9 months old when she started. The girls in the baby room have made me feel very at ease with dropping my baby there. My daughter has come on loads since being there and enjoys her time there so much. They are all so welcoming and patient
and always make me feel at ease. Thanks girls.

I would highly recommend this nursery. Our daughter has been attending from the age of 10 months and will leave pre-school for her next adventure at the end of August 2019. From the very first day, the staff have always made us feel at ease. There were tears at first, but our daughter quickly formed
bonds with staff members that remain to this day.
The biggest compliment to the very professional, caring staff is that our daughter really enjoys attending the nursery and doesn’t want to leave at the end of the day. It has been a wonderful experience watching her learn and develop with the expert help and support of the team at Child First.
I am really happy we chose this nursery. Thank you for the care you have shown our family over the last three years.

Love this nursery! My daughter attends in the toddler room and they are brilliant. She is learning new words every day and they really take the time to engage with each child. I've been really poorly the last couple of weeks and the nursery staff have been brilliant with her. They keep you up to speed
with everything! Would highly recommend.

When picking my children up from nursery they are so happy and bouncy and full of smiles. When dropping and collecting my children staff are very welcoming and warm to approach, they listen and respect wishes. During handover staff give a full feedback form and explain in detail the activities my children
have done which I love to hear about. My children have made bonds with certain staff members very quickly. I absolutely love the sensory room for the baby room children.

Both my children have attended this nursery and I have never had any concerns. Safeguarding is very high. My children have been attending for two years and even to this day if a member of staff hasn't seen me before the door will not be opened. My children are always very happy to go to nursery and
always happy and content when I pick them up. I couldn't ask for better staff to help care for my children. Thank you ladies.

My 2-year-old child has been going to Child 1st nursery Coleshill since last September, he is very comfortable going to nursery and really enjoys himself while he is there.
My son participates in various activities the nursery offer while he is there, such as jo jingles, forest storeys and yoga.
My
son has breakfast, dinner, tea, snacks and juice and there is a really good, different variety of meals offered throughout the week all including fruit and veg.
They have parents evening every couple of months so you can have a good talk with your child’s key worker to discuss how your child’s getting on.
The nursery provides nappy and wipes which not all nursery’s do.
When you collect your child you get a hand over sheet to keep you updated with your child’s activities, meals and nappy changes. Overall I’m very pleased with Child 1st 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.
