Review from Clare (Mother of Child) published on 8 August 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

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!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

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.
