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.

Outstanding nursery, including staff and features. My child has settled so well due to staff in preschool 2. Staff are friendly, welcoming and easy to approach. My child is always learning new things with different topics each week. A range of food and meals, which my child enjoys.

The activities the staff provide for the children exceed all of my expectations with visits from external organisations such as dance and yoga instructors. The staff are so personable and always happy to have a chat at pick up and drop off times. My son is so happy there and we couldn't have chosen a better nursery for him. Thank you.

Child 1st is a fantastic nursery. I have one child who's been there for almost a year and another that started in September both of them really enjoy nursery and speak so positively about the staff members. I can't thank the team in pre-school enough, two staff members in particular and especially my child's key person, who always gives great observations showing me what my child's been doing, what they are learning, what's next to come and so on, my child's so comfortable and happy around them. As well as the team in toddlers and my sons key person, who again is always so friendly so informative, supportive and kind. Big thank you to them all for all their support especially two staff members in particular, who I've known for a long time, they're a real credit to the nursery and do such a wonderful job.
So happy I chose this nursery for my daughter. She has been at nursery now a little over a year and she has come on so much since attending! Staff are all lovely and supportive but even more so in the toddlers (my daughter's current room) she loves attending! I feel very at ease knowing she is...
Thank you all so much!
My daughter started of in babies at just 9 months, where she grew a lovely bond with all the girls but particularly her key person, she spent day in day out bonding with my child and making her first bit of time at nursery so amazing for both me and my child.

My daughter started of in babies at just 9 months, where she grew a lovely bond with all the girls but particularly her key person, she spent day in day out bonding with my child and making her first bit of time at nursery so amazing for both me and my child. She then went on to tots room where she gained a really good connection with her new key worker. She would get really excited to go to nursery to see key key worker and all of her friends. Although her time was short in tots, her key worker still managed to gain the best bond with her. She's now in toddles and has really strong bonds with the staff and loves coming in to see her friends and get up to some fun stuff, she grew very close to her key person who she loves and has a really good bond with. She then went over to another member of staff's group and has really made such a good bond with the other staff member in the short while she's been in her group. The staff are all amazing throughout the nursery and I can't wait to send my new little girl here.

Child 1st has been amazing with the looking after and development of my son. With his autism diagnosis, they've been super helpful and are always pushing for the best care and support that he needs. He's been going to Child 1st since he was 1 and I can honestly say the development I've seen and progress of my son has been massively influenced by the wonderful staff that work there. 100% would recommend this nursery as they really go above and beyond.
Our daughter started here in September. We were very anxious about her starting nursery and we are so glad we booked a viewing with Child 1st as they put all our anxieties at ease. They took time to inform us of everything we needed to know and answer any questions we had. They allowed plenty of...
Would recommend child 1st!

Two staff members in particular are always sending updates and photos of his day on the app and always call me straight away if there are any issues when he's been a little unwell.
The nursery itself has a very welcoming atmosphere and you can tell all the children really enjoy it.

He has a range of healthy meals and snacks each day which is also recorded on the app.
He has developed since joining and always comes home happy telling us about what he has been doing and playing all day.

My little girl has loved the Tots rooms ever since she started, all the girls that work in there are lovely and always keep me up to date on what she's been up to.
They are always offered lovely healthy meals, and snacks. And have always got little activities for the little ones to get stuck in with.
My daughter loves her nursery and goes in smiling and comes out smiling each day! Which is what you like to see as a parent to know that they enjoy themselves!
I would definitely recommend this nursery to friends and family

My boys were very premature and I was really concerned they wouldn't meet milestones. But as I said the staff have been amazing in supporting them to achieve everything they've needed to and more.
I was very anxious when I was choosing a nursery as the boys were on oxygen at home for a couple of months due to there prematurity, and even though they were off it a long time before starting nursey, knowing that the nursery had experience and knowledge of babies/infants/toddlers on oxygen put my mind at ease and they were aware that made them a little more vulnerable in catching common childhood illnesses.
The boys have built such a great bond with staff and are always happy to go in to nursery and enjoy their time there. I'm so glad I chose Child 1st, they are amazing.

I love the activities and the photos they put together, and I appreciate if they take them out, they call to check with you first.
My son has just turned one and is developing so well, he eats anything, been walking since 10 months old and loves other children!
Price wise I think it's a fair cost, yes it's expensive, but the safeguarding, the activities, the friendliness and the food he's given, makes me happy and I can leave him with peace of mind!
My daughter is in tots 2, she only joined the nursery at the start of September. Since then she has come on leaps and bounds. The nursery is a lovely place, every class has access to the garden. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

My daughter started in the tots room in September. Lovely nursery, great communicative staff members. She has settled in really well especially through the use of settle sessions. I feel at ease with my daughter being here.

Reaching the nursery stage for our son was daunting. How will he settle in, will he be ok, will he be cared for, will he like it, will he develop? These are just a small number of examples of questions in your head as a parent. The staff at Child 1st, particularly the staff in Pre-school 1, have...
Reaching the nursery stage for our son was daunting. How will he settle in, will he be ok, will he be cared for, will he like it, will he develop? These are just a small number of examples of questions in your head as a parent. The staff at Child 1st, particularly the staff in Pre-school 1, have made the whole experience so much better than we expected. With regular contact through the app, chats before and after and the recorded journeys/observations, my wife and I are confident that our lad is getting everything he needs out of the nursery experience. This is supported by his own words, telling us how much he enjoys it, how good of a day he has had, wanting to go back tomorrow and have best friends. From a parent's perspective, it's been great. Keep up the good work.

My son started in November last year and has settled in so well at the nursery thanks to his key worker and the other baby room staff! They are amazing. All of the staff at nursery have always gone above and beyond and I feel really content with the quality of care he is receiving. The nursery always participates in a variety of holidays/celebrations and involve the parents as much as they can which is great. I couldn’t fault the nursery and would recommend it to anyone.
My daughter is coming on leaps and bounds at Child 1st Solihull! Cannot thank the staff enough for the hard work they put in with the children and for keeping us updated with all their work and friendships and habits. So pleased.

As this is an area he struggles with but he will happily sing nursery rhymes now by himself, thanks to the lovely staff for supporting him. Also when I have collected and dropped my grandson off, staff are always so friendly and approachable.
