My two boys have had the best time at Westwood Day Nursery and as a parent, I can't find fault the care and expertise provided by all the staff. The nursery has become an extension of our home and both boys have grown in confidence. I have and will continue to recommend Westwood Day Nursery to friends
and family.

We've used Westwood Day Nursery for two of my children over the last four years or so. It's been a great environment for my children to grow and learn under the supervision of staff that really seem to care about my children's progression. The facilities, food and resources were great and the staff
were always really friendly, approachable and engaged really well with the children. Thank you to all the team! Would 100% recommend!

My eldest child has been at Westwood since he was a baby up until starting school. The entire experience, from start to finish, through the Covid lockdown and out the other side, has been fantastic. The staff and their culture are wonderful. Everyone is friendly, helpful and most of all, energetic and
encouraging towards the children. My younger child has also attended Westwood and both finish each day happy and stimulated. I am very pleased with the decision we made to send them to Westwood. Our children will miss the staff there as they move on, but we've really appreciated everything the nursery has done for them. I would absolutely recommend Westwood to family and friends.

The staff at Westwood Day Nursery are so kind, caring and friendly, my daughter has loved her time here and I’m sad it’s coming to an end. They really do go the extra mile to get to know your child and encourage their development. Everyone genuinely cares and my daughter's confidence and pre-school
skills have flourished. The app is amazing too, I love receiving updates and pictures to brighten up my day.
Thank you Westwood Day Nursery for a wonderful experience, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this nursery but hurry as there can be a long waiting list!

Westwood Day Nursery have been absolutely amazing over the last two years, with the help and continuous support provided by all the staff, I have watched my child grow into an amazing confident and bright little person. From the kitchen staff through to the management every member of staff have gotten
to know my child and engaged with them on a daily basis and become what they call their grown up best friends! The continued work they have all done to prepare my child for the transition to primary school has been outstanding and the encouragement and support provided to promote independence in most daily tasks has really helped, we’ve worked together and had continuity in all aspects of learning from toileting to table manners. I believe this nursery has really given my child one of the best starts to an educational setting and so much love and support every step of the way. I couldn’t have asked for a better nursery!

My son started at Westwood Day Nursery when he was approximately eight months old, he has moved up through the rooms happily as all the staff made him feel comfortable and welcome. He has gained skills and confidence with the help of the staff. He has made friends for life here and I know he will miss
all the staff when he starts school. From a parent's point of view, the staff are all friendly and approachable, any queries are dealt with quickly and they make you feel very welcome. Would recommend Westwood Day Nursery.

My son has attended Westwood since he was 9-months-old, he is now 21 months and has come on so much. The staff are all really engaging with him and take a special interest in his development and help improve his communication and learning. He always says staff members' names at home and is always really
happy to go into nursery in the morning.

Really pleased with the overall care that my son receives from Westwood Day Nursery. His development since coming to the nursery is wonderful to see. The staff are all always friendly and positive. Considering my son only attends one day a week, he settled in well and thoroughly enjoys his nursery day.
Thank you to all!

Our son has been at the nursery from the age of one and we cannot recommend it highly enough. The staff are brilliant and have built great relationships with our son. His language and confidence have developed so well, and it's a testament to the teachers. You receive regular updates in person and over
the app as to how your child is settling in and progressing, and there are targeted areas for development that the staff work on. Will definitely be sending our second child here when he is old enough! The staff are also extremely flexible and understanding when dealing with unforeseen circumstances at home.

When my child started over a year ago I was really overwhelmed leaving him but the staff at Westwood are amazing and ensured both my child and I had a smooth transition. The ladies in the caterpillar room are very attentive to my child’s needs, they are amazing and helpful.

My daughter goes to Westwood and loves it. They are encouraging and supportive and genuinely caring. I’ve recommended Westwood to several friends and they have decided to send their babies to Westwood too. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

Our child has been attending Westwood Day Nursery for the last 2 years and we are extremely happy. The staff are lovely, they keep us updated with what is going on daily using the app. He is always happy, coming back home telling us all about his day, his friends and the activities.
He is now in preschool
and we can see the progress and his development. I highly recommend the nursery.

Fantastic nursery with really wonderful staff. My daughter has been going for over a year and a half, three days a week and she loves it. I thoroughly believe the staff's hard work and teaching have progressed her development into a curious, caring, well socialised little girl. She will be going until
she leaves for school and I highly recommend it to all other parents.

My 3-year-old son has gone to this nursery since he was 8-months-old. He knows nearly all the staff there and feels this place is his second home. The staff are genuine and provide excellent care for the children. We have now started this nursery for my 7-month-old daughter as I am assured she will
get the same care that my son had!

Our son has been at the nursery since 10-months-old, he's recently left to start school and the knowledge and social skills he learned from nursery have made the transition as natural as possible for him and us. He's always being complemented by teachers on how kind and grown-up he is. His confidence
is definitely a credit to the nursery would 10/10 recommend. It was pricey but comparable to other nurseries it's not that bad and it was worth it for all the extras like the food, nappies and even things like suncream.

We have had a daughter attending this nursery since 2019 and our son joined a few months ago. We are very pleased with the nursery so far! We continuously observe a massive boost in the kids’ skills development. It feels like the staff are bonding with the kids and is genuinely interested in their wellbeing.
Any parent knows how challenging it can be with kids, so we do greatly appreciate how tirelessly the staff are managing to keep the kids entertained and active. Needless to say that the level of care is excellent!
There have been a few instances when we needed support and the Westwood team went above and beyond. A well deserved thank you to all the staff engaged directly with the kids, as well as the management!

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.
