This is the second setting my child has attended and I can say hands down it's the best nursery. Both management and staff are excellent with my child. They're all so hardworking and compassionate. A massive shout out to toddlers for all their efforts with my little girl, it all never goes unnoticed.
She's absolutely thriving since being apart of Child 1st Solihull x

We love this nursery. The staff is great, good communication, and they always keep us updated. Our daughter is simply thriving. In just a few months her speech has been improved to the point that she is able to communicate all her needs with us and she is just 19-months old and bilingual. All the girls
are very supportive and always ready to answer our questions. Thank you for making our daughter's first year of nursery such a great experience.

We absolutely love this nursery! My child has been attending since she was 1 years old and she has had such a wonderful experience. She really enjoys going to nursery and always has a big smile when I pick her up. The variety of snacks and meals is great, and we receive updates through the app. Throughout
the week, there are lots of exciting activities like Yoga and Jo Jingles which she looks forward to. It's a fantastic place for learning and fun! Fantastic nursery!

My daughter has been attending this nursery since she was 12 months old and is now just over two. From the very start, the staff have taken the time to understand her individual needs, and the bond she has developed with them is truly lovely.
The staff are what make this nursery so special - they are
kind, nurturing, and genuinely care for each child. Communication is always good, and any changes / requests are implemented with them often going above and beyond. The facilities are excellent, with a lovely outdoor playground, and there are weekly activities such as music class and yoga.
The nursery also uses a great app where they share photos, updates on what they have been doing, and even details of what they've eaten and skill observations. It's an easy and quick way to communicate with staff.
I looked around several nurseries before choosing this one, and it was the warmth and dedication of the staff that really swayed me. We haven't been disappointed and we love the nursery

My son started this nursery at 11 months old and was struggling with separation anxiety at first. The staff at Child 1st are just wonderful and he is now a very settled, happy 13 month old! It really didn't take him long at all to make connections with the girls and I am more than happy to leave him
there, knowing he is being loved and cared for. The app is updated regularly with photos and updates and this leaves you feeling so content. He eats LOTS there which can only be a good sign!! Thank you for making my return to work so easy! X

Fabulous nursery, the staff deserve medals as they are outstanding.
My little one was extremely clingy before starting nursery, however he now runs to the door to greet the staff without even a backwards glance goodbye!
He's come on leaps and bounds in his social confidence, motor skills and intellectual
development since starting there. He's always adored nursery meals and eats much more for them than for me at home!
We love checking how his day is going using the Famly app. The staff are excellent at updating it.
I'm always impressed at the creative activities they conjure up for the kids and the themes for each week at nursery.
I highly recommend Bakewell Childs First nursery to anybody!

My daughter started in September 2024 and I was always worried about her going to nursery as she's no verible and only says few words at home. But since she's been going to child first she loves it . Every day she's attending the runs to the door and full of smiles when we drive past on her days she's
not attending . Lovely staff and super friendly . So happy with her progress so far .

My daughter has recently started at Child 1st Bakewell in the baby room.
Entrusting the care of your child to someone is not a decision to make lighty and I am certain I have made the right choice with this nursery. The care & comminication we have received so far has been absolutely amazing and we
are so relieved to be able to go to work knowing our baby is in safe hands.
All the staff are so lovely and nothing seems to be too much trouble.

Child 1st Bakewell provides a loving, stable and nurturing environment for our daughters. The team have been instrumental in engaging the girls in daily tasks to grow their skills and keep them stimulated and active. They instil the values that I want them to have, and they work with us as parents to
give the girls stability, consistency and kindness.

My daughter has been attending for just over a year. The baby room staff are all lovely, welcoming and helpful, in particular my daughter's key worker who has been there every step of the way and kept me informed of everything she has done and achieved in baby room through the app. My daughter loves
the homemade food at nursery eating near enough all of every single meal put in front of her. She walks straight through the door with no hesitation at drop offs and comes out excited to show me what she has made throughout the day. In all she loves attending nursery and taking part in activities that she wouldn't necessarily be able to do at home and building friendships with other children.

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.
