Child 1st Solihull is a purpose built nursery that boasts a whole range of child friendly features; from under floor heating to the windows which go from floor to ceiling, from well-lit modern rooms, to there being no stairs and lots of changing and toilet areas.
The challenge was to ensure that the outdoors reflected the indoors and both are well resourced and run, with a team that really has developed an understanding of the needs of young children and aims to involve them at every level.
With access to the outdoors from every room and increasingly developing age appropriate environments both indoors and out makes Child 1st ideal for providing care and learning in an urban area.

Since my little girl started in January at the age of 1, we can see the massive growth in our daughter from when she started. She started as just a baby and now turned into the most loving, caring and educated little girl and this is a massive thank you to every teacher my little girl has been in the hands off. Most of all we want to say a massive thank you to our little girls key worker Lily, who has played the most important part of our girls development who has gone above & beyond for us as parents & our little girl.

The most amazing staff and nursery ! My daughter absolutely adores the staff here and she has grew in so many ways it is unbelievable how much she has came on. Her confidence, her speech and her physical development is amazing ! Couldn't recommend this nursery anymore if I tried . She has been here since she was 9 months old she is now coming up to 2 and she still happily walks in everyday
We could not be happier with our choice! The stuff is so professional and lovely. We see our daughter thrive and really love spending time there. They do so many nice activities every week and we have so many little paintings and works made by our kid - we are super happy!

My daughter has been at Child 1st Solihull for a month but it has been such a weight lifted to see how well she settled in. We did 4 settling in sessions over a month and these were tailored to how my daughter was doing. The staff are brilliantly friendly and their communication is excellent. The use of the Famly app is great to keep updated on how the day is going and to see what my daughter has been up to.
I moved my son to Child 1st nursery in September 2025. I was really anxious following a previous negative experience at his last nursery.

I moved my son to Child 1st nursery in September 2025. I was really anxious following a previous negative experience at his last nursery.
As soon as my son walked through the doors of Child 1st he lit up. His confidence grew, his speech and engagement with others developed. Child 1st is my son's happy place and there isn't a day that goes by that he doesn't tell me about all the fun he has with staff members and his friends in class.The nursery's communication and school preparation are amazing.
All the ladies in the pre school room and across the whole nursery deserve awards. A massive thank you to them for seeing the light in my little boy and bringing it out for others to see. He will miss everyone when he starts school in September

My daughter has attended child 1st for nearly a year and I cannot explain how impressed I have been with this nursery. She skips in 3 days a week, their communication is second to none and the way she has developed since being there has been incredible. She has built in confidence, speech, made friends, they do cute competitions, themed days and she is always happy and excited to attend. It means the world to a mum to know your child is safe and happy when out of your care and child 1st achieves that daily!
I picked Child 1st for my son as i lived close, my son was not able to communicate completely so I was very hesitant. Since joining in January he is a different boy, the staff have been amazing with him they go above and beyond. He is so much more confident, more vocal, joining in with other kids....

I'm absolutely pleased we picked Child 1st Nursery! My child has been attending since October last year when they turned one. They love going in and arw familiar with the staff. I get information on hand via the app as to what they ate, naps and nappy changes. Regular updates on their progress, pictures of fun activities and even get offered to attend stay and play so we can watch our child's interaction.

My youngest child started at Child First Nursery on Cooks Lane back in September. I was so anxious as my eldest did not attend a private day nursery. Straight away staff made me feel comfortable, relaxed and welcomed. They were so kind and gentle to my little girl who at the time was 1 year, 2 months old. I set up the family app which is brilliant and easy to use. The staff in Baby room keep me updated with what my little one is up to, eaten and her naps. The environment is welcoming and the activities I see my little girl doing through the app are engaging. Could not recommend this nursery enough.
My little boy has gone from not really talking to having whole conversations with me and his level of confidence was sky rocketed I cant recommend this nursery enough the staff are lovely and welcoming !

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.

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 son started here in January, he's loved it, he's settled in perfectly and it's all down to the staff. The communication is great and all the staff are very welcoming. I would recommend this nursery to everyone.

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...
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 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.
