Child 1st (Coleshill)

The staff are incredibly caring and understand how hard it is to leave your child. They use the Family app and go above and beyond, sending lots of pictures for reassurance in those first precious weeks. My little one settled into the baby room well, though the toddler room took a bit longer. She always comes home with a dry nappy, well fed and happy, and she's formed strong bonds with the staff and often talks about them. There's an on-site kitchen with a chef, so the children get fresh food all day. It's busy but well managed, though that does mean swapping or paying for an extra day hasn't been an option for us. The new owners seem to be investing in the spaces, toys and systems, which is great to see. One thought: sessions like Jo Jingles and baby yoga seem to land on Weds/Thurs, so children miss out on the days they don't attend. It'd be lovely to see these spread across the week. I'd recommend this nursery. The staff give children the care, love and patience you'd want.

This is a lovely, welcoming nursery with nurturing staff. It has recently been re-decorated and has new facilities. I can tell that my daughter is well looked after. Now that she has settled in she seems happy to be there and smiles when going in, which is so reassuring.

This nursery has been an absolute joy and pleasure for my little girl, not only does she go into nursery smiling so happy she comes home so happy and not wanting to come home! And that speaks volumes! Always updating me on how she is getting on, things she has done, eating schedule, and many more. Pictures of her though out the day, gifts and presents she's made and most of all the lovely staff that work there are incredible, never leave a child out and is always always so polite and so caring.. always so loving at the door to my daughter, so happy to see her and I love that! Overall cannot express how important a nursery is. And this is such an amazing nursery.. honestly I was so worried about sending my daughter to a nursery as she is my world but this nursery is just fabulous and I never ever have to worry amazing

I'm very pleased with this nursery they keep me updated on how my son is doing throughout the day . also the app tells me what he has eaten they do football club potty training the staff are very friendly it took him a while to settle in but now he loves it

Lovely nursery , my daughter has settled in quickly and is clearly enjoying her time in there ! All staff is helpful , kind and go the extra mile to acomodate my daughter's needs. Lots of interesting activities available to children and a good outside space for kits to play in !

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

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 child is safe, happy and well cared for at Child 1st Nursery and Preschool. Staff are well trained and support my child's learning. I receive regular updates about my child's learning and development and it is clear staff develop excellent relationships with the children. I would highly recommend this nursery and preschool to others.

My son has been at Child 1st for a month now in the baby unit and I love seeing updates of his day, it's lovely. All the staff are so nice and friendly. The rooms are all lovely and well set up. Love that for the baby unit, it has different rooms and the garden space, it's really well set up! I would definitely recommend here, I visited a few local nurseries but nothing beats this one!

Thank you all so much for everything you do.

My little boy loves going into nursery. He always comes out with a dry nappy, the food always smells lovely when waiting to go in. All the staff are lovely, the updates you get when you ask for them are reassuring for those who are leaving them at the early stages.

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.

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.

My daughter who started this nursery at 11 weeks old has made amazing progress over 6 weeks. She loves attending and the care they show towards her puts our minds at rest. We have no doubt that our daughter will benefit greatly from starting this nursery so young.

Our 14-month-old daughter loves it here. She has really come along with development since starting in December. All of the staff are very caring and do so many varied activities. Would definitely recommend it to any prospective parents.
