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.
It's been an amazing experience and I could not thank the staff enough!

My daughter started here in sept 2025 currently still attends and this nursery is brilliant. The staff are so lovely, they treat your child as their own. Very and presentable to parents who go in on activity days.
My daughter always comes home happy & has the best days with PS1!
All I can say a
million times is thank you
Each member of staff here deserve awards!

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.

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.
28 August 2025
We absolutely love this nursery! My child has been attending since she was 1 years old and she has had such a wonderful experience. She really enjoys going to nursery and always has a big smile when I pick her up. The variety of snacks and meals is great, and we receive updates through the app.
Throughout the week, there are lots of exciting activities like Yoga and Jo Jingles which she looks forward to. It's a fantastic place for learning and fun! Fantastic nursery!

My daughter started in September 2024 and I was always worried about her going to nursery as she's no verible and only says few words at home. But since she's been going to child first she loves it . 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
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.

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.
11 December 2024
My son has been attending Child 1st Solihull for around a year now and I cannot stress enough how fantastic this place is. They keep us informed throughout the day via an app, which as a first-time-mom is so reassuring, especially when they first start attending.
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 happy
and content.
Thank you all so much!
