We send our son to the nursery and he loves it and has developed so much.
At first it seemed expensive but when you break it down they are receiving the best care and its all inclusive with the food and amount of activities they have so really works out reasonable compared to others. We are looking
forward to seeing him grow as the nursery prepares him for school.

We have been really impressed with the nursery, the staff are very friendly and welcoming whenever we drop off or pick up our daughter. The overall communication between the nursery and ourselves is excellent. The feedback received daily on our daughters day at the nursery is very informative and detailed.
Our daughter has come on a great deal since attending Westwood and enjoys it there.

As our child's time at Westwood is drawing to a close with her impending school adventure about to begin, this is our final review!


We can not recommend this nursery enough, it is everything we had hoped it would be during the 3 years our daughter was in their care.


The single level layout of

the building lends itself to a very safe and secure environment for the children with designated playground areas for different age groups providing sufficient learning and play for all. The staff are always welcoming and caring towards the children and genuinely show an interest in their individual needs. Their progress and development are monitored by an online system called Parentzone which we have found invaluable in understanding her day to day activities and learnings.


Thank you to all at Westwood who have supported out daughter on her nursery journey!

The nursery is above and beyond, very friendly staff and they form excellent bonds with the kids. They are always helpful and happy!
They organise many activities outside of nursery and training sessions i.e. Summer fete, first aid training, potty training workshops etc.
Excellent nursery and amazing
staff! 100% recommend.

Westwood Day Nursery (Coventry) is a special place. I attended my son's graduation from preschool today. The thought and care put into organising the event was incredible. The staff are all so kind, supporting the children. I will miss them dearly and would recommend the nursery in a flash.

My son joined in September 2017 and I've been amazed by his development since.
The staff here are very professional, knowledgeable and I feel confident my child is safe and happy. It didn't take long for him to settle in and now he loves going often not wanting to leave Westwood Day Nursery was definitely
the right choice for my son but also for our family.

Outstanding! The nursery and staff are exceptionally professional and helpful. My daughter was struggling to settle into nursery and Westwood made it so pleasant and simple. All of the staff are so willing to help and update of progress and issues. They've well and truly earned the outstanding OFSTED
rating.

It is going to be a year since we joined Westwood Day Nursery and I cannot be happier that we chose to bring our child to this nursery. All the staff are just wonderful, they treat our child with so much love that we feel really relaxed to leave him while we are working. They supported me from the very
beginning in my breastfeeding journey, which was very important to us. And they also keep on guiding me on whatever aspect I am concerned about. The environment is engaging, attractive and cosy and the staff make it just perfect.


They support the development of each child at their own pace and that is what we want for our child. We don't have enough words to express all the gratitude for the nursery staff contribution to our child's development.

Our son was at Westwood for 3.5 years and we attribute a lot of his development to the positive environment at Westwood. He has left as a happy and confident 4 year old, ready to move onto school. Will be sending our daughter there in 2018.

My child has been in Westwood now since he was one and is now starting school in a few months. I cannot thank the staff enough for the care they have given him. I have seen him develop extensively and learn invaluable skills throughout his time at nursery, whilst abiding by the nursery 'Golden Values'
which I have reciprocated at home.


The management has continuously been supportive with all matters and communicate effortlessly via newsletters and in person. All in all, I can just say one word to the nursery and staff - Thank you!

Westwood Day Nursery (Coventry) has been nothing short of a second home to my 2 children! My eldest aged 5 often returns to pick up his younger sister aged 2.5 years and he always enjoys going back and has often asked if he can stay himself - if that's not the sign of a positive experience...!! The
dedicated, friendly welcoming and warm staff are what make this place so special. The facilities are great, toys in abundance and the building itself is very well maintained. If I only knew the secrets of the chef as both my children enjoy meal times at nursery! On the odd occasion where we have faced an issue, it's been dealt with professionalism compassion and a real desire to fix the problem. I've been and continue to remain happy with my choice of nursery for my most prized people - my children!

Westwood Nursery is a fabulous setting, which both my children love coming to. They are incredibly well bonded to their key workers and engage with staff well, are always happy to spend time there.
The facilities and learning opportunities are brilliant and my children's social development has been
great.
I couldn't recommend the nursery and the staff more. I will be sad when my eldest child leaves for school this summer.

Despite my son's regular and long attendance at this nursery, the progression to another room threw him, making morning drop offs a difficult and stressful situation. Needless to say, the staff picked up on this and have been outstanding in assisting us to adjust to the new room. A massive thank you
to management and the room staff for their continued efforts and support. Another example of how this nursery excels in assisting individuals' needs and works with parents to meet these needs. Thank you.

I am very happy to see my son's progress here. I was concerned before starting day care whether my son would receive that same attention, but I am pleased to say that I have no concerns now. My son looks forward to going to nursery every day and when I pick him up in the evening he is always so joyful.

I have two children that attended Westwood Day Nursery one in Caterpillars and one in Bumblebee's. They have both been attending the nursery since a young age and love it. They both have a good bond with their key worker and all staff at nursery know the children and greet them every day. My children
enjoy the activities and also love the dance lady and music man that come to nursery weekly. I highly recommend Westwood Day Nursery as both my children are really happy.

My child has been attending Westwood Day Nursery since September 2016. The staff have been brilliant, welcoming my daughter and settling her into nursery. My daughter has a close bond with all staff in her room, especially her key worker. My daughter is really happy at nursery, enjoying all the activities
and experiences that comes with the nursery. She also enjoys all the messy play activities that are facilitated by staff and also enjoys her rooms garden. I feel I have a good relationship with the nursery which I feel, as a parent, is very important. There is an open door policy at the nursery and feel all staff and management are always available to help. I would recommend this nursery.

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.
