Thank you for your amazing review!
We know that leaving your most precious baby with someone you don't know is a little daunting and the staff work really hard to ensure they know each individual child and attend to their needs. The baby room staff team are all experienced and excellent caregivers, with a very knowledgeable team leader. We want our babies to feel safe, secure and happy so that they can explore and enjoy the exciting activities throughout the day.
Being a small home-from-home setting all our staff get to know the children across the nursery, which is lovely as it makes transitions so much easier.
Our manager has been with us 26 years and this shows the level of her commitment to the nursery and we are super proud of our whole team! Thank you again.

That is really lovely to read thank you so much!
We ensure that allergies and all health care plans are managed to a high level across the nursery. Our excellent chef has the ability to produce nutritious, well-balanced, yummy meals for a variety of dietary needs daily.
We strongly believe that children thrive from real-life experiences, being outdoors and having engaging activities that stimulate wonder and awe in them.
As you put it most importantly children are happy at Westwards! Thanks again for taking the time to review Westwards.

Our in-the-moment planning works really well as it allows us to be child focused and provides many real-life experiences like tennis during Wimbledon! The children love their days out and learn so much by just having fun!

Thank you so much for your valuable feedback, most of our families choose Westwards due to the long-established nursery reputation (1951) and our long-serving staff.
This is lovely to hear and the key worker will be delighted!
The large canopy covering our fantastic new garden means we are outside every day and the children love the chance to play in the mud kitchen or the play tower, sliding down fast.
The many trips out are a definite favourite and we believe this provides so many different real-life learning opportunities.
We are so grateful for your feedback.

Westwards is indeed like a family, our trusted staff team are warm, friendly and caring not just about children, but also their families so this is lovely to hear from you.
We really appreciate your comments about the learning and development, as our curriculum is carefully planned for each age group.
In terms of our communication, we feel this is really important and have found our newsletters, termly parent meetings, social media and online learning journeys help provide a wonderful insight into your child's life at nursery. The most important is the strong key person relationship and the feedback you receive daily from our dedicated staff.

It is great that we have such a fantastic staff team who are kind and caring to every child. It is really important to management that the staff feel happy, valued and supported at work.
The provision is carefully thought through and set up by the staff daily in each room, who strive to provide an engaging environment with child-led activities. The trips out, of course, are such fun and we work hard to incorporate events and celebrations. Being so central and having our mini bus is fantastic for our Forest School trips to the woodlands.
Being described as an extension of your family is a true honour - thank you!
We will of course share your lovely comments with our staff team.

It's a pleasure to hear such amazing feedback, thank you!
We are a small home away from home so can give a real child-led service with lots of information communicated to parents in various ways.
It's lovely to hear that you value our Forest School outdoor ethos as this is a very important part of Westwards.
I will let the chef know about the food standards as she strives to offer the very best and often uses her allotment, organic fruit and veg and has been instrumental in our veg patch development!
Thank you for taking time out to send the comments.

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.913) out of 10 for Westwards Nursery School 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 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.913 for Westwards Nursery School is calculated as follows: ( (252 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 275 Ratings = 4.913
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 Westwards Nursery School is based on 23 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 42 number of registered child places is 8.4, which has been reached with 23 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.
