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.

My daughter loves coming to nursery and has formed beautiful bonds with the staff in her room. I find the staff supportive of my daughter's learning and keep her motivated. I also feel confident that this will continue when moving up to the next room.

I was so worried about sending my son to nursery but it honestly has been such a great experience. Toddlers staff made this experience easier, my son now just runs into nursery. The SENCO coordinator was amazing and helpful with me filling in my form for speech and language referral for my son. The staff in toddlers are wonderful, the communication between them and me is always great, which if you are a nervous parent this puts you at ease. Overall, just a lovely nursery.

My daughter started at Child 1st (Solihull) Day Nursery in February 2022, she has Erb's palsy and requires physio multiple times a day, the staff at the nursery were very supportive of this. Other specialists involved in her care have contacted the nursery for various reasons and they have always been happy to work with them. My daughter loves going to nursery, she is always excited when we get to the gate. Staff always keep the app up to date so I know what time little one sleeps, what she eats and nappy changes.

This is an amazing nursery. I was so worried about sending my daughter for the first time but the staff have been amazing and she has settled in so well. All the staff are so welcoming, friendly and supportive. I am able to be kept updated on what she is doing throughout the day with an app that shows me what she’s eaten, nappy changes and what activities she’s doing etc. She has come on so much since attending and I’m so pleased with the decision I made in sending her here. I cannot recommend this nursery enough!
This is by far the best nursery in the area. My 5-year-old went here and now my 1 and a half years old is here, they helped so much with him as he was very upset every time we dropped him off. The baby team kept me updated throughout the day with messages, pictures or videos of him playing, which...
This is by far the best nursery in the area. My 5-year-old went here and now my 1 and a half years old is here, they helped so much with him as he was very upset every time we dropped him off. The baby team kept me updated throughout the day with messages, pictures or videos of him playing, which was a huge help for myself. Now my son goes in happy and loves to go to nursery. I am recording it to everyone and specially to anxious moms like me.
The transitions between rooms and in my case from a not so great to nursery as well.
I can't recommend child enough thank you. We will miss Child1st when we go to school.

Cannot praise the staff at this nursery! They're all really lovely and great at looking after the children in their care. My son started in September last year and has loved it from the moment he stepped through the door! He's coming along great and I honestly believe it's a lot to do with the...
Top marks all around! There's nowhere else I would send my son now, he will be here until he starts school.
Amazing nursery. Really helpful with my son who has dietary issues. Couldn’t ask for anything more. Staff are lovely and my son has really took to them. The outside play area is very inviting to the children too.

Fantastic nursery and even more fab staff. Worked so well with settling my little one in and it wasn’t rushed, always comes home in an empty nappy and has a smile on her face. She sings songs at home that she’s learned at nursery and I also love receiving the updates over the app. I feel good...
It is definitely a home away from home nursery, also all the lovely little events and stuff the nursery does is amazing, only been here for over a month and had a few things already for Easter, Jubilee and Father’s Day which is lovely
I’d also rate 5000 stars for the cost, £5.00 per day for nappies, wipes, creams, snacks and food is amazing, also I feel comfortable and confident knowing my daughter's allergies are well taken care of with her having not a single flare-up!
Food is also healthy and the right amount for the children.
Both my children have attended this nursery and I honestly can't fault them, they are amazing and provide such care for the children as well as supporting their development. They always listen to any concerns you have about your children and are very supportive with transitions. The activities and...
Both my children have attended this nursery and I honestly can't fault them, they are amazing and provide such care for the children as well as supporting their development. They always listen to any concerns you have about your children and are very supportive with transitions. The activities and outdoor area are great. My son will be sad to say goodbye when he starts reception this year. Best nursery by far!
My son started nursery during lockdown and I was worried about how he’d settle in, especially as I’d only be sending him one day a week. The staff were fantastic and allowed him to have as many settling in sessions as he needed prior to officially starting, which is something many other nurseries...
He settled in well and absolutely loves going, always comes out with a smile on his face. Communication is great and staff are lovely and welcoming. They have always tried to accommodate my child when I’ve needed to send him in for extra sessions. Would 100% recommend!
Love sending my son to Child 1st Day Nursery. Teachers are amazing and give so much support and time to each individual. My son absolutely loves coming to nursery. Love the cosy environment, food and activities. Wish he could stay here forever. Thanks to all the staff.

She's enjoyed every moment of it. Always excited to go. She's progressing so incredibly well there.
The staff at Child 1st Day Nursery are always kind and always let me know of any updates or information I need to hear.

My son has been here since July 2021, he loves being here and always walks in with a smile on his face. The staff are easy to approach about anything, I like it that I can see what my son has eaten on the app.

My daughter has attended Child 1st Day Nursery since July. She was really hard to settle due to being a lockdown baby. The girls in baby room have worked so hard with her and she now really enjoys nursery. She has come on so much since starting and I love how I am kept informed of how she is getting on through the app. I would highly recommend this nursery.

This nursery is brilliant, never had a problem here, my son absolutely loves it. He has become such a character since joining this nursery, he has made loads of new friends and likes the teachers too. I always thought my little boy was shy around people especially if they are new to him but he's not here. He has learnt so much and is always telling me new things he has learnt and about how much he enjoys nursery each day after finishing. I would highly recommend!
My son loves nursery, his key worker and other staff of the baby room. He has come on leaps and bounds since being at nursery and the work they do with him is amazing. He is always such a happy little boy when I pick him up and I’m so grateful for the support they also give me if I have any worries...
My son loves nursery, his key worker and other staff of the baby room. He has come on leaps and bounds since being at nursery and the work they do with him is amazing. He is always such a happy little boy when I pick him up and I’m so grateful for the support they also give me if I have any worries about his health etc. The observations are my favourite part as to see what he gets up to on a daily basis helps me in knowing he is happy while learning and playing with his friends and the staff. Would recommend.
