September 6, 2024 at 10:20 pmI am pleased to say that our journey at the moment is remarkable.
In particular, since the new manager joined, I can honestly say things have dramatically improved in a highly short space of time, and he has exceeded my expectations. He communicates so well, he consistently responds in a timely manner, he’s welcoming, well‑informed, approachable and truly cares about the childcare centre and his team.
My daughter has learnt so much in the short time she has been going to Cosford. I have self‑assurance in the team, and they are all so welcoming and know my daughter and her needs exceptionally well. In particular, one lady is just incredible as her key carer. My daughter absolutely loves her and talks about her all the time at home.
Keep up the great work; you are working miracles and have an incredible team that I know you are highly proud of. My daughter has attended Spring Cosford for 18 months, and in that time, we have had a mixture of ups and downs with the care provision.

September 15, 2024 at 6:53 pmNever cries on way in or when leaving. Care is top-notch, and team are highly attentive. Outstanding value for money. Food options are highly great. The only complaint would be the varied use of the app. Usually well updated, but can sometimes be a little behind, but a highly minor issue given the high quality of care offered at such a great weekly cost. My one-year-old son loves going there.

Our little boy has truly come on since joining, and we are highly grateful and cheerful with the service and team so far and look forward to seeing our little man continue to grow. Our son started with Springs in January and being only 6-months-old, we were highly wary of how he would manage.

October 3, 2024 at 6:18 pmBoth my kids adore attending, and I am thoroughly cheerful with the quality of childcare provided. All of the childcare centre team have provided remarkable childcare and assistance for my two young kids during their time at childcare centre.

Would (and do) highly suggest this childcare centre to all.
My kid absolutely loves his days, and we are blown away by the genuine adore and care the kids receive.
The app is a fantastic bonus too.

November 22, 2024 at 6:43 pmShe is now getting ready to start school in September and will be leaving in August. I can say with total self‑assurance that she has been nurtured by everyone there and is more than ready to start school. All team have been exemplary throughout the years and have encouraged and nurtured her to be ready for the next stage of her life. It is the best childcare centre I have ever used with any of my three kids, and will consistently suggest them to everyone as I don’t think it can be beaten.
Thank you to everyone there; you are all doing an incredible job. My daughter has been at Cosford since she was a baby and has been through all of the different stages they provide.

November 30, 2024 at 8:19 amHer speech has developed tenfold, and all of the team are incredible.
My little girl has numerous allergies, so we were truly apprehensive regarding her attending childcare centre, but everyone has been incredible and truly accommodating. I know that she is in secure hands whilst she is there, and nothing is too much trouble.
10/10 childcare centre! My little girl has been attending for 8 months now, and she’s loved every moment of it.

December 8, 2024 at 1:36 amEach day she comes home thoroughly tired out after a full day of enjoyable playtime and activities but also with a lot to say (babble) about what she has been getting up to. The childcare centre is highly spotless, the food she gets is excellent, the facilities for the kids are truly great, indoors and out, and the care and attention our little girl receives is outstanding. All in all, a truly great childcare centre with exceptional team. All the team I have spoken with and who looks after our daughter are exceptionally personable, compassionate, attentive and knowledgable, and our little girl loves attending.
Robin Taylor
December 15, 2024 at 6:30 amShe is cheerful and enjoying her time at childcare centre. She has plenty of discovering opportunities through playtime. The setting is secure, and the team are truly welcoming and attentive. She loves it! My daughter moved to Spring Childcare centre RAF Cosford in January after not having a excellent journey in another childcare centre, however, we are so pleased with the level of care our daughter is experiencing.

December 18, 2024 at 6:53 pmI do think it would be nice to have a photo of each kid daily, even if they aren’t joining in with the group activities, as some kids, like my son, don’t consistently interact socially. This would ensure me that I know he’s having a great time.
He loves his keyworker, and they work highly hard with him to make sure his individual needs are met.
I have messaged the manager on a few occasions and never had a response, which is highly disappointing; however, I go through the deputy manager now as they consistently respond and are highly supportive! I think my son thrives on the different activities; however, I dont consistently get photos of him.

December 24, 2024 at 2:51 pmMy son started in December 2020, and with being a lockdown baby, I truly struggled to not be with him all day every day. He also found it difficult at the beginning due to not having much interaction with other people other than myself and his dad, but the team were incredible, consistently reassuring me, consistently cheerful to update throughout the day and put pictures and reports up on the app to show how he was doing. Team reassured that he would settle, and after a little while, he settled amazingly. He walks in without looking back, enjoys the day and has enjoyable and enjoys new experiences whilst there. The activities team do with the kids are so lovely and varied, and the outdoor playtime area is incredible! The food and snacks they are given throughout the day are truly varied and homely.
Would 100% suggest it! Incredible childcare centre and facilities.

January 24, 2025 at 11:36 amMy kid is blossoming as a result of the well-structured activists and attentive team. I could not suggest them enough. The updates is exemplary, and the provision is outstanding. Spring Cosford is fantastic.

February 1, 2025 at 5:51 amThe reason this review is a four and not a five is due to our personal journey. Unfortunately, in late 2022, experienced team were leaving, plus the manager and updates became near on non-existent, and the app updates weren’t happening. However, we have seen a marked improvement since the new manager has joined, which has increased the review to four. The setting seems tidier and more organised, and the updates is starting to improve; we sense we are being heard, and the new manager has taken the time to understand our concerns in relation to the historical issues and is clearly focussed on making the childcare centre the best it can be and is fully invested. Our son goes to school in September, he’s enjoyed his time in Spring, and we look forward to the next four months. Our son has been attending Spring since October 2021, we chose this childcare centre due to the excellent outdoor space, and it had one of the best forest schools we had seen, we were impressed by the size of the setting, and the team seemed great.

February 9, 2025 at 3:53 amHave been welcoming on pick-ups and drop-offs. Have been encouraging my daughter in discovering and exploring. Supportive with my return to work schedule. Dealt with all issues I had and explained in a expert manner.
Indigo Quincy
February 12, 2025 at 9:27 pmIt wasn’t until my kid went to a different childcare centre that we now realise the lack of development and discovering here, and highly notably a positive change in our kid’s behaviour after leaving. We saw a highly high turnover in team and our kid never had a consistent key worker. Our kid was constantly sick at this childcare centre too, and I now question whether cleaning practices were as efficient as they could have been, as by comparison we have not had these issues since going elsewhere. The daily updates via the Famly app started to get progressively less and less, which was blamed mainly on lack of resources with only one device per room for team to share to take photographs and log updates. Sadly, what may have once been a nice little childcare centre, has fallen into what feels like a state of disarray and any concerns we raised were never actioned. Unfortunately, we didn’t have a positive journey at this childcare centre.

March 10, 2025 at 2:42 pmShe has settled in well, made friends and has great relationships with the team.
We find that the team are exceptionally expert while also being highly compassionate and attentive. They provide a secure, enjoyable and stimulating setting in which our daughter is highly cheerful, and they have responded excellently to the current ‘COVID’ situation.
They place the well-being of the kids at the centre of everything that they do. We sense our daughter is sufficiently challenged whilst discovering key life skills to ensure she is well equipped for school.
The online discovering app enables us to securely view our daughter’s development and successfully communicate with the team to build on her discovering.
The team pride itself on providing a secure, exciting and enjoyable childcare centre, which we highly suggest to any parent considering childcare. A remarkable childcare centre!
Our daughter started childcare centre here in February, and we are delighted with her development so far.

March 17, 2025 at 2:09 amA varied range and high standard of activities are conducted (both indoors and out), and these are developing my daughter’s language skills and self‑assurance. The team are consistently welcoming and attentive to my daughter’s needs.
Riley Holland
April 20, 2025 at 4:47 pmAll the team are highly welcoming and approachable. They ensured my little one settled in well, and he quickly bonded with the team team. He loves all the wooden toys and variety of activities they offer, and they will consistently work with us to problem solve any issues with the little one settling in. I consistently get updates on what my baby is doing and what he’s eaten, and I truly delight in the photo updates of him doing activities. Team consistently hand over at the end of the day to let us know how things went and will ring if they have any issues or concerns. It was truly easy getting his place set up there, and I sense he is well looked after. Truly lovely childcare centre.

June 10, 2025 at 9:47 pmThere are weekly moments when my kid impresses me with their numeracy and literacy skills, recognising a letter on my number plate or a letter when reading bedtime stories.
Every key person they have had has consistently been a joy to converse with, producing a excellent key-person parent relationship when receiving a feedback report on their daily activities.
They have implemented parent/key-person nights in the last 12 months, so you can have a one-on-one meeting, just like an after-school report. These were outstanding, as we could discuss strengths and areas to work on together.
Last year, the childcare centre organised a sports day which was truly inclusive and an absolute joy to witness.
Overall, I’m truly pleased and proud of my kid’s development. This childcare centre has been invaluable in the cognitive and social development of my kid, particularly keeping open during the pandemic, so they haven’t been hampered at all, which is such a relief in it itself.
Morgan Hunter
June 22, 2025 at 9:39 amOnly just settled by the time we left, just didn’t appear to like it at all.
The care from the team I couldn’t fault and the security, the team were lovely but updates became poor. All experienced team were all leaving/manager, activities weren’t the best and were being asked to keep kid at home as not enough team to cover. Daily updates on the system were often poor or non-existent.
I hope for them it’s just a bad time which will change but my kid is so cheerful since we left. I regret not doing it sooner. I realise how much development wasn’t there. I know so many who have left or wish they could but can’t find anywhere else. Kid attended for 18 months before we left.
