We've had a wonderful experience with the staff at Westwood. Our son started part-time at four and a half months old and has been made to feel so welcome, we feel he has made real connections with his room team, and with the wider nursery staff. He's so taken by his room staff, and hardly ever says
bye when we drop him off, he's too excited to go play. He is very well supported in his development and challenged by the environments they set up for him.
On occasion, other family members have collected him and the staff have gone above and beyond to help make that as smooth as possible, which has been truly appreciated.
The team have dealt with the ongoing virus crisis extremely well, we receive regular updates and suggestions of activities, and will be looking forward to seeing everyone again soon.

My son started at Westwood nearly a year ago, I have gone from first time nervous mom to becoming confident in leaving him in the care of the staff at the nursery. My son is very happy while at the nursery and enjoying all the indoor and outdoor activities. He is learning and exploring every day, achieving
his milestones which makes us happy and proud parents.
My son will be moving to the next room in the near future, hence I hope staff will handle it equally well, being sensitive towards his needs.
My only concern is about his eating. It should be considered as part of his overall development, to try different methods to encourage him to eat well.
Overall we’re really happy we chose this nursery.
Many thanks.

Since my son started at Westwood Day Nursery he has really developed. He struggled to settle in at first, but the staff were really patient and reassuring with both him and us! My son now loves coming into nursery and I trust that he will have a lovely day with lots of activities.

I recommend the nursery to anyone who is looking for recommendations for nurseries as I cannot recommend them enough. We moved 45 minutes away and still kept our children here as they love it so much. The staff are amazing and do such a great job. Thank you, everyone.

At Westwood Day Nursery my daughter is always greeted warmly in the morning and I can go to work knowing she has gone into her room happy. At Westwood, she gets to be a part of a wide variety of activities that help to develop her understanding and knowledge of different concepts that I would struggle
to teach her about at home. Her language has blossomed in the last few months and this is down to the enthusiastic staff having conversations with her and allowing her the time to talk and be herself.

Staff are knowledgable and welcoming. My daughter has been in the nursery for a year and a quarter and her confidence has developed lots in this time. She enjoys coming to nursery and everyone is approachable and caring towards her. There are a wide range of activities available and she enjoys learning
new skills and information.

Both of my daughters have attended this nursery and we couldn't be happier with the service provided. The meals are all made fresh on the day and there is always so much variety, we are confident our daughter has eaten well. The one thing we really love is all the rooms have their own gardens and most
can just free flow in and out.

My daughter has attended this nursery for nearly 9 months now and the standard of care that has been provided has been exceptional. Nothing is ever too much trouble and I feel very comfortable asking questions too which for me is very important. It's such a hard decision to hand over care of your child
but this nursery goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and at ease. She is developing so well now and I’m so proud of how much she has learnt. All of the nursery staff are so friendly and welcoming it’s such a warm environment.

Thank you.

My daughter joined nursery recently and we have seen improvements in her. My daughter has explained the target set for her in the next 6 weeks to address her communication skills. We recently had a parent's meeting on 8/11/18 with staff and she briefed us about our daughter and her day-to-day behaviour.
It was good to know how my daughter has been observed. We also liked the targets set by staff to improve our daughter's skill set. We think our daughter needs to be challenged at different levels than normal and the staff has promised to look into this. Thank you, we were all very impressed by Diwali 2018 decoration and all staff are great.

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.
