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.

A lovely nursery setting. Our daughter (one) goes in happy and loves the staff. Initially, we had reservations about sending to a nursery, but she settled in quickly with the support of staff. The daily updates keep us well informed of her day.

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 cannot say enough good things about this nursery! The staff are lovely and really care for the children. My daughter has attended for a year and a half and happily runs in. The food choices are healthy, varied and child friendly. The staff also engage the children in a great mix of activities which
are fun and educational. Would highly recommend.

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!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our little one started at 7 months. We were worried (as all parents are) but especially as she was quite little and hadn’t ever been looked after by anyone other than us. But the staff were really reassuring, plus she settled really well and loves going. She is 2 now. The staff are supportive of our
wishes regarding stuff like diet, dummies and naps so there isn’t conflict between home and nursery. If something ever happens like a bumped head they ring and let me know right away which of course they don’t have to do but is comforting to feel in the loop! Now and again if she has a grumpy morning I drop a message on the app to check she has settled down and always get a reply promptly. Handover is good especially if we are keeping an eye on any issues between us like cough or constipation. Parent's evening is informal but lovely to see her pottering about where she spends so much of her time and to talk about how she’s developing, moving up to toddlers etc.

Both daughters have attended this nursery over the last 6 years and I wouldn't send them anywhere else. The staff have made them feel welcome, loved, and cared for at all times. They focus on social and personal development of the children whilst maintaining a safe and fun environment.

Really lovely nursery. My son started in toddlers and is now in preschool. He has been supported through the transition and has made real bonds with the staff and also friendships with the children.
He has so much fun and really looks forward to going.

My 1-year-old has been attending this nursery for a few months. As a new parent, I was so nervous when my maternity leave came to an end, to leave my daughter at any nursery as we'd spent twelve solid months together 24/7. The staff were so understanding and patient, encouraging me to have as many settling
sessions as required which really put me at ease. Fast forward to three months later and my daughter absolutely loves attending, even so that every morning she launches herself into the arms of the staff members who she has clearly established a good bond with. It is so lovely to see and keeps me calm knowing my daughter is well looked after while I'm at work. I find it especially handy having the app to keep updated with what she's eaten and drank throughout the day and I enjoy receiving the updates of activities, including photos. Really pleased I chose Child 1st as my daughter's nursery so thank you team for all you do.

My daughter has been going to Child 1st Day Nursery now since around June 2022 and I honestly couldn't wish for a better nursery. She never settled at the childminders so I was apprehensive about whether she would settle here also. But she absolutely loves being here, she runs in with open arms and
I go to work every day knowing my daughter is looked after and loved and, best of all, she is happy here. They send updates throughout the day including photos and the app always shows what they have eaten/slept. I love Child 1st (Coleshill) and all the workers here. My daughter's key worker is brilliant.

Both my baby and toddler attend this nursery. Overall I would say I’m glad I send them as they always have such an amazing time. I feel my children have really developed with the support of the staff here. Both skip in every morning and always come out happy and tired from a busy day! The Famly app
lets me see what they have been up to also which is great.

After searching everywhere for somewhere for my daughter to go to, I was recommended Child 1st in Coleshill Day Nursery from a friend of a friend.
I knew within 5-minutes of my walk around that this was where I wanted to take my little girl. All the staff are so friendly and have all the patience in
the world for both you and your child.
I love the app, they communicate throughout the whole day of your child being there.
Definitely recommend.

My daughters been going to this Nursery for a few months now and loves it! Being a pandemic baby I was worried how she would socialise with so many other children but has fit in beautifully!
The staff are so caring and personable. They all take interest in my little girls development and care.
The
app is amazing for checking their progress, monitoring how they are doing each day and following sleep patterns and how much they have eaten.
Great experience with a great nursery!

Child 1st Day Nursery has been a part of my life for many years. Starting with my firstborn over six years ago. So when I had my second child nine months ago, even though we actually live further away now, I still wanted him to go there. He was a true lockdown baby and I was really anxious about him
going as he was so attached to me. He had a few wobbles in the first few weeks of settles but the baby room manager always reassured me that it was normal and he would be okay. Fast forward only two months and my son is like a different baby! He absolutely loves it! Smiles when he goes in and laughing when he comes out! I love the new app so I can check on what he is doing throughout the day and the direct message feature is fabulous! Every time I have messaged the baby room one of the girls has got back to me within the hour. I had also started a new job and needed some extra sessions (sometimes at extremely short notice) and the girls have done their absolute best to accommodate me and my son. Thank you!

My daughter started nursery in October 2021.
It was recommended by my family as my niece and nephew attended here and I’m so glad I enrolled my daughter in this nursery, she has come on leaps and bounds and the staffing can’t be faulted, she has grown so much confidence being there and the chef! Well,
the food they have there is unreal, I honestly can’t fault this nursery, I love that they have an app as well and keep you up to date throughout the day and the activities they do and the observations they do on a one to one basis, it’s amazing.
Thank you to all the staff at Child 1st (Coleshill) Day Nursery for supporting my daughter and getting her settled into nursery.

Hello everyone, I want to share our experience with Child 1st (Coleshill) Day Nursery. We contact them regarding our bilingual, 3-year son. We have some feelings about him, not going to be ready being not English spoken as first language, but the Child 1st (Coleshill) show very high level of professionalism
and manage to make him happy day after day, improve a lot for short period of time. We highly recommend to anyone and big thank you for all of the staff of Child 1st (Coleshill).

First impressions were great. They're well organised and professional but still friendly. I had faith in them right away.
My son has been there for a couple of months now and I've been impressed with the communication from staff. He struggles at drop off but the team are always very warm and comforting.
They also keep me updated with how he has settled so I don't spend the day worrying about him. I really appreciate this. We love seeing the photos of him and his little friends through the day and find the observations the team write help me to understand how he is doing and show me they are really getting to know him. Thank you team.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.916)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.916) out of 10 for Child 1st (Coleshill) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.916 for Child 1st (Coleshill) is calculated as follows: ( (220 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 237 Ratings = 4.916
  2. 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 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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
    2. 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 20 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
