The warm and friendly environment at the nursery meant that every day at drop off I was comforted knowing how kind and caring the staff were. The staff were invested in my child from his first day there until he left to go to school. They encouraged him, listened to him and supported him.
This is
a brilliant nursery and they do a variety of activities with children to support their learning.

My son started at Westwood Day Nursery 8 weeks ago. I have found the Nursery to be very friendly and attentive to my son. I'm given updates each day on how his day has been, what activities he's been doing etc. The team are all friendly and have a genuine interest in my son and his development and wellbeing.
The app is also great for seeing how his day is going.

Despite visiting multiple nurseries to ensure we chose one that ticked all boxes and gave us confidence that our little one would be well looked after and cared for, naturally, we were still nervous when we first enrolled. However, any worries were soon replaced with relief and peace of mind that we'd
made the right decision. Being new parents, the first few days/weeks of dropping off were difficult and a little emotional for us to say the least, but your welcoming approach was always comforting and reassuring, which definitely made it much easier for us as time went on and those gestures were felt each day, from the first settling in session, right up until we left.
To see the development and growth both in confidence and character has been simply beautiful, and we can't thank you enough for the time, effort and encouragement that you've all given. We're forever grateful and appreciative of what you've done for us, and very happy we chose you for our first-ever nursery experience.

Both our daughters have been to Westwood Day Nursery and we have built an excellent relationship with the staff who has been so supportive of our child’s growth and overall development.
Thanks so much for your patience, love, care and support that has always meant a lot to us. We will really cherish
all the memories our kids and we have had over the last few years (2018-2023) that we have been part of this amazing nursery.
We hope you continue doing superbly well in playing an important part in helping little kids outshine and flourish.
It’s been a great journey and we will miss seeing the wonderful staff.
All the best and thanks for all that you have done for our girls.

My two boys seem happy at Westwood Day Nursery (Coventry), there are no more tears at drop off, and they enjoy the food, activities, and the outdoor space.
Westwood also assesses a child's wellbeing, raising a hearing/speech issue for my son which I hadn't noticed because I don't know any other children
his age. So they can be trusted to help identify missed milestones which I think is superb.
The rooms and halls are always clean, the staff are always very friendly, cheerful and helpful.

My daughter has been attending Westwood Day Nursery (Coventry) for 15 months now and absolutely loves it. Everyone knows her by name and staff take an interest in every child regardless of whether they are their keyworker/work in their room. Unfortunately, personal circumstances and a change of job
means that my daughter will be leaving in July which I'm gutted about as she has come on in leaps and bounds since she started. I can't rate the team at Westwood Day Nursery (Coventry)highly enough and I know myself and my daughter will miss them all.

Our experience at Westwood Day Nursery was truly unforgettable. The exceptional care, unwavering support and boundless love given to our child made a huge difference to his growth and development.
The teachers and staff at Westwood Day Nursery consistently demonstrated professionalism, kindness and
genuine caring. In the face of the challenges of the pandemic, the extraordinary support from staff, especially in the Bumblebees room, gave us solace and strength.
During our son's transition to the pre-school we were thrilled to see his newfound confidence and development of various skills. Everyone at the nursery played a vital role in creating a positive and nurturing environment for learning and play, which contributed to our child's development and accelerated his progress.
As we say goodbye, we would like to emphasise that we are extremely grateful for the exceptional care, abundant love and solid educational foundation provided for our child. Thank you for being an exceptional nursery.

My baby and toddler are both at Westwood Day Nursery and are looked after fantastically by everyone. All the staff say hello to the parents and children every morning - it’s like a home away from home. The activities are fab - more than what we would do at home and their dietary requirements are well
catered for!

My son has been attending this nursery since December 2022 and has settled in really well. The staff are all very friendly and attentive to him and I feel welcomed every time I pick him up or drop him off. We are kept well informed of his development progress and daily we receive regular updates through
the app on how he’s getting on at nursery on that day. The room he is in is always very clean and inviting and he has lots of activities to keep him busy. There are weekly newsletters which let you know what the children are learning at nursery and parents are kept well informed of what is going on at the nursery including any special events. I would recommend this nursery to any parents looking for somewhere to send their child to.

An outstanding nursery on all parts. We are so so extremely grateful that our daughter is thriving and it's down to the incredible staff at Westwood. I work long hours and I am extremely relieved that I never worry about my child - in fact, she eats better at nursery than she does at home! At not even
2 years old, she has a strong vocabulary and talks about all of her nursery friends when she gets home. Westwood feels like a family; everyone is kind and welcoming and shows a genuine interest and warmth to my child. We are so extremely lucky to have this as our nursery.

Our daughter absolutely loves nursery. She is learning and developing so much, her speech is amazing and she’s starting to play lovely with other children. The staff keep us up to date on the app with what she has been up to along with everything she has eaten. Overall, really happy with the care our
daughter receives.

My children have been attending Westwood Day Nursery for two months and I could not be happier with the standards of all aspects of the nursery.
Staff have taken the time to really understand my children (twins, 14 months) and allow them to settle as individuals whilst also respecting their bonds as
brothers.
We have also recently been understanding food intolerances with one child and the staff have been fully supportive and helped us to navigate through this.
The feedback we get throughout the day and upon collection allows me to know that the boys are settled and happy and any challenges they've faced that day. It has struck a good balance of keeping me informed that my children are happy and safe, but also allowing me to get on with work.
The boys have really flourished over the last two months, and that is down to the care they have received from the wonderful staff at the nursery.

We had an amazing experience with Westwood nursery. We started sending our boy to this nursery when he was one year old. Now he loves going to the nursery and has made lots of friends there. They take very good care of him so we are rest assured while dropping him in the mornings. The staff, food, environment
are all very good in this nursery. I can assure you it's a great choice if you choose Westwood nursery for your child.

My eldest daughter has just finished pre-school and my youngest has just started in Ladybirds. After such a positive and nurturing nursery experience for my eldest, we knew we had to also send our youngest to Westwood too. All staff, once again, have been so friendly, reassuring and encouraging in settling
my youngest. The settle sessions, key worker alignment and various methods used (family book, registration forms with her interests and abilities) have all allowed her to ease in and feel comfortable really quickly. The Ladybirds staff have taken time to get to know her and the feedback via the app and on collection is so insightful and appreciated. I am confident that she will enjoy and flourish at nursery just like her big sister. Thank you all for your continued efforts.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.919)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.919) out of 10 for Westwood Day Nursery (Coventry) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.919 for Westwood Day Nursery (Coventry) is calculated as follows: ( (345 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 372 Ratings = 4.919

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Westwood Day Nursery (Coventry) is based on 31 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 70 number of registered child places is 14, which has been reached with 31 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
