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.

The staff are always kind and polite, easy to approach, helpful and always go the extra mile to ensure your children are not only safe but most importantly, happy!
My son absolutely loves this nursery. He can be very picky with his food and he seems to love all the food at the nursery. He plays and learns very well with his teachers and his class friends.

My son absolutely loves this nursery. He can be very picky with his food and he seems to love all the food at the nursery. He plays and learns very well with his teachers and his class friends. I've never had a problem since he very first attended the nursery. The teachers are all lovely and very caring. I'd recommend anyone to go with them.
My daughter has attended Childs1st since she was 15-months-old, for 2 days a week. She has excelled in many aspects of her development and the staff who have cared for my daughter have given her the right level of attention, time and patience to do so. She has fun active days, yoga, singing...
She has formed close bonds with her key workers when transitioning into the older classes I was worried that she may be too attached to her key worker (at the time). But her ability to form friendships with the other staff members was comforting and demonstrates that she was made to feel comfortable and cared for.
She is a very happy toddler, and looks forward to pre-school.
Excellent nursery, both of our sons love going, the staff are fantastic and I feel comfortable when I leave the boys with them for the day. They offer a wide variety of activities daily and it is a great learning environment for all ages. They offer fantastic settling in sessions for extended...
Excellent nursery, both of our sons love going, the staff are fantastic and I feel comfortable when I leave the boys with them for the day. They offer a wide variety of activities daily and it is a great learning environment for all ages. They offer fantastic settling in sessions for extended periods of time tailored to your child’s needs which really helped my sons to settle well.
Both of my kids attend nursery and it's all we ever wanted. The staff are very friendly and my kids really love every one of them. The activities are very diverse, I honestly see the results at home.

Both of my kids attend nursery and it's all we ever wanted. The staff are very friendly and my kids really love every one of them. The activities are very diverse, I honestly see the results at home. I never imagined that my kids will love it so much there, even my little one who is very picky at liking new people. I usually find him in the arms of one of the girls and giving them cuddles and kisses. My daughter always mentions the staff and that she had fun, every single day.
My granddaughter attends Child 1st and I can’t thank the girls enough for helping her settle. They welcomed her with open arms and she loves everyone there like family.

My daughter goes here twice a week and loves it. We had parents evening yesterday and are really pleased with how she has come on since attending.

Child 1st is an absolutely amazing nursery. All three of my children have attended so far and I will have my fourth's name down as of September. The garden is my absolute favourite, my daughter gets so much out of it and forest school is a bonus. Staff are all lovely and caring and there is always something for the children to do! In the past, there has always been something about nurseries that makes me feel dissatisfied but this just isn't the case with Child 1st. My daughter wasn't easy to settle and there was always a member of staff on hand to comfort her! We love Child 1st.

The staff are always happy, kind and helpful and will always go that extra mile. From the moment you arrive, the staff are there with the warmest of welcomes. They take great care and pride in getting to know each of the children. Our daughter absolutely loves the nursery as do we, so much so that our second little girl will be starting next year!
We cannot recommend this nursery enough.

Fantastic nursery! Friendly, kind and professional staff. My little boy has learnt so much going there, not just academically but his social and emotional skills too. The staff are always there to listen and to update you at the end of every day, informing you on what your child has eaten, hours of sleep and what activities they have taken part in. The staff are also very good with child safety too, very strict with other members of the family picking the children up, photo evidence and passwords need to be given beforehand. This makes me feel very comfortable at work knowing my boy is very safe. I also think it’s wonderful how a lot is provided within the price too, including 3 meals a day, snacks, juice, water, full-fat milk, nappies, nappy cream and even suntan lotion. Not forgetting the children learning outside in all weathers. All in one rain suits and wellies provided too. I’m very happy with this nursery and would highly recommend it to anyone with young children/babies.

Child 1st day nursery is outstanding. Two of my children attend and have developed in leaps and bounds since starting there. All staff are friendly, professional and accommodating to my children's needs. Everyone makes you feel welcomed when you enter and leave the nursery. Activities are well planned and are differentiated for each child.
My son is two years old and has been attending full time since he was six months old. The nursery is great, the staff are so friendly, and the bond my son has built with his keyworker is amazing. I would definitely recommend.

I am really pleased with this nursery, my daughter started attending here when she was 4 months old. It was great that the induction period started off with one hour, leading up to almost a full day, over her settling in period. The staff are lovely and you never feel like the hand over is rushed, you know exactly what they have eaten, slept and how many times her nappy has been changed before you leave. They inform you if there are any concerns and I am more than happy leaving her here. Thank you.

I couldn't recommend the nursery highly enough and all the staff are lovely too.
When she started she had a month-long introduction to ensure both me and her were comfortable which was really important. Not many nurseries offered that.
She enjoys the activities.

When she started she had a month-long introduction to ensure both me and her were comfortable which was really important. Not many nurseries offered that.
She enjoys the activities.
The food provided is freshly cooked and varied.
I love the fact that when I collect her I am given details of what her day has entailed, all the meals she has eaten down to her sleep times and nappy changes.
She has come on leaps and bounds since attending.
The staff are always very friendly, any concerns I have had have been promptly addressed.
I know my little girl is being safely looked after while I'm at work which is a huge relief.
Would recommend Childs 1st to anyone.
Any queries I have had, have always been sorted quickly.
Key workers have always been amazing with my daughter and it's nice to go to work without worrying.
Thank you.

My daughter started the nursery in May 2018 when I went back to work after maternity leave. She was only eight months old so I was worried about leaving her in another person's care. I was nervous on her first session but the girls in the room made me feel at ease so quickly. I explained I was an...
My daughter is now 14 months old and she loves it there. She has a good bond with her key person and the other girls in the room and she gets exited each morning when we pull up outside the Nursery. I cannot fault the care from the staff. I never have to worry about her while I’m at work because I know she is safe, happy and comfortable being at Nursery. Couldn’t recommend this nursery enough!
I was very wary of putting my child into a nursery and found it hard to leave her with anyone but myself, however, I couldn’t have chosen a better place to put her! The girls are fantastic and the managers are very friendly. My daughter attends 3 days a week and absolutely loves it! My daughter was...
I was very wary of putting my child into a nursery and found it hard to leave her with anyone but myself, however, I couldn’t have chosen a better place to put her! The girls are fantastic and the managers are very friendly. My daughter attends 3 days a week and absolutely loves it! My daughter was very shy and quiet when she first started but now she is like a different child she is so confident, outgoing and has come on leaps and bounds. My little girl adores all the nursery ladies in her room and they have been fantastic with her. My child is a very fussy eater but the managers have been brilliant in catering to her needs. I honestly recommend Child1st to anyone, it’s a very loving, friendly, happy nursery and always has a great atmosphere when you walk in.

Forest School, Yoga and French she looks forward to every time. The skills she picks up from these are exceptional.
I also love that she gets to try new foods, which she wouldn't do for me at home, but seeing the other children take part encourages her to try them.
The staff are fantastic and always willing to help and the bond they make with the children is beautiful.
Thank you for helping my baby girl grow into the beautiful little girl she is today.
