My son has been attending just once a week, which by many nurseries isn't advised; however, my little one absolutely loves it, has created bonds with the staff and runs through the door to his co-worker. The staff are informative and happy to help. They offer regular parent evening sessions and can
discuss development goals for the child.
I would highly recommend the nursery to others.

Our son has attended Child 1st nursery for a year and a quarter now, going from the baby room into toddlers. I have found the staff to be exceptionally caring and compassionate about what they do. They have accommodated our sleeping, food and circumstantial requests very well which is so very appreciated.
The biggest fan is my son who is happy to be dropped off which says a lot about how he is cared for. He really has thrived there!

Child 1st is an excellent nursery and as a mother, I would highly recommend it to others.
My daughter is in the baby room and I cannot rate the staff in there enough. The review does not allow names to be mentioned, but the baby staff have literally bent over backwards to help accommodate and integrate
my daughter despite her additional challenges.
Nothing is too much trouble for them. The staff are caring, patient and work so hard to help with her development. They listen to my comments and she has come on leaps and bounds since joining Child 1st earlier this year and this is thanks to the staff.
She is so happy when I tell her today is nursery, she loves it there.
The surroundings are nice and there are plenty of toys, daily activities, crafts, music, a discovery room and ball pit, outdoor play and freshly cooked meals on site every day.
The days/hours available are also very flexible for working parents.

Fantastic facilities and space for our child to play and grow. We love that there are separate units for the child’s age and development, as well as different playrooms (tumble room, sensory room) and a generous sized outside play area. The staff are friendly and correspondence on the child’s development,
events at the nursery and any illnesses is excellent. The food provided is of high quality, healthy and varied. Our son really enjoys attending the nursery and as parents it gives us a great sense of security that he is being well looked after, having fun and developing every day.

Since moving my son to Child 1st Nursery he has come on leaps and bounds with his confidence in nursery. He always talks about his day with excitement with what he has been doing throughout the day. He has built lovely bonds with all the girls in preschool and even with the other girls throughout the
nursery. I always feel the feedback I get at the end of the day is very informative and personal. Also, the additional activities have great variety for the children and I feel this really benefits my child. The management are always friendly and willing to help with any problems I have. Overall I would highly recommend Child 1st in Coleshill.

The staff are incredible and the surroundings just perfect. Our child loves every minute he spends there and the staff are very good with him as he has boundless amounts of energy.


They get him to focus and he has learnt so much and come on leaps and bounds in terms of development as well as behaviour.


Our

son has major issues with food and the team have done so well to help him overcome his fears of trying things that he does not like the texture to.


I cannot recommend the nursery enough, they truly are wonderful.

This nursery is fantastic, my son has been going here for 4 months, he had been to previous nursery’s who failed to support my child with behaviour needs! They have completely transformed my child’s behaviour they are constant, show lots of love and care, and the staff are so lovely!


I wish I had

sent him there sooner, he adores his nursery and his teachers and all his friends. I’m so thankful for the support and my child’s behaviour has turned around. My child doesn’t have a behaviour diagnosis he was just good at pushing boundaries!


Thank you all for your massive support.

Both my daughter and son attend Child 1st. They both love the place and have formed great relationships with the staff members. It has a lovely family like feel about it. I know my children are well looked after here. They hold lovely events on throughout the year which add a nice touch such as the
grandparents afternoon tea. My daughter is now in the preschool class and loves the 2 hour forest school session they run every week, which teaches her about the outdoors. Highly recommend to anyone considering this nursery.

We went to visit one year ago. We found the staff and children really welcome so we decided on placing our then three-year-old boy.
He enjoys his time at nursery, playing and learning with his friends. He really enjoys yoga and all the other extra activities. He is still unsure about us leaving but
once we have left he has lots of fun and often does not always want to come home! It was the best choice we ever made.

Both my children currently attend Child 1st Nursery in Coleshill. I have no qualms in recommending the nursery to anyone looking for a safe, friendly environment to send their child.
The development in confidence and ability of my daughter since she started is noticeable - people comment on her development
exceeding others her age. The main reason I speak highly of the nursery is the staff - the ladies working there treat our children like their own and I feel very comfortable knowing that my children will be cared for - not just in the sense of nappies changed/fed and watered, but also their emotional well-being.
My son took a while to settle but the ladies did everything they could to help him feel comfortable and he has such a bond with his key worker and willingly puts his arms out to her when he's dropped off. He is also a nightmare to get to sleep and they take the extra time with him to settle him and he often naps better at nursery than at home! They are great.

My son has been going to Child 1st (Coleshill) for almost 2 years now (he is almost 3) and we have nothing but praise for them. The staff are excellent - friendly, polite and always willing to listen/help. Our son thoroughly enjoys his time there - he is looked after, educated/stimulated and well
fed!
I would have no hesitation in recommending Child 1st (Coleshill) to anyone.

Where to begin. This nursery really is amazing. All the staff are friendly and welcoming.
My little boy started in September. He is very shy and takes a while to warm to others but after a good amount of settling in sessions, he has been great.
They do so much with the children and I feel so assured
that there are four girls in my son's room so there's always someone to cuddle and reassure him ( he needs that a lot).
As a mum, I feel happy every time I walk out as they are always so positive and know exactly what he has done that day. There is no reading from a list, they know each individual child and there are not many nurseries around like it.
I couldn't have picked a better nursery for my son. Thank you girls, for making me feel at ease leaving him in your care. Fantastic!
I feel like in the few months of him being there they know him like we do and that means so much as a parent.

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.
