An amazing nursery with very high standards. My child absolutely loved attending and speaks highly of the staff who all seem lovely, the amount she's learnt in such a short amount of time. Highly recommended.

My daughter started at West Park in September last year in the baby room, she absolutely loved it. She's now turned two and is in the toddler room which she also absolutely loves. All the aunties are absolutely lovely ladies, the attention to detail for your child is brilliant, it feels really personal
when they tell you what your child has been doing that day and eating etc. There is also a lovely outdoor play area which is far bigger than other nurseries I've seen, also the fact it is situated on the grounds of Stanley park means the children are taken there regularly which is wonderful. My little girl's development has really come on in the last 4 months since she started. I've got absolutely nothing but nice things to say. I can't speak highly enough of Westpark and would recommend to anyone.

This kindergarten is amazing! My son absolutely loves it and gets excited in the morning and all smiles when the staff come out to greet us! They are so kind and caring and always go the extra mile. Nothing is too much for them. He goes 2 days at the moment and we are putting him in for another day
in September 2024. They discuss everything in detail and do so much with him, since he started in January he has developed so much! He is always a happy boy when we collect him. Thank you so much for everything you do!

My daughter attended this nursery since she turned 2 years old. She was very attached to me and, sometimes didn't want to leave me. The staff at this nursery made every effort to make her comfortable and raise her confidence. She started school today ever ready. I am very grateful to say she was a student
at West Park. Thank you!

My child has been attending the nursery since the toddler room and is now in the preschool room. He has made fantastic bonds with the staff and especially his key workers. He loves telling me all about his day when he comes home and always has a smile when I go to collect him. Throughout the week I
enjoy the updates via the app, so I know all about what skills he is learning and can see him having fun with his aunties and preschool friends. Thank you for taking care of my little one.

Both my son and daughter attended West Park. My son started at 10 weeks old and my daughter started when she was 10 months old. West Park has been part of our lives for nearly 7 years. Both my children loved going and loved all the staff. All the staff throughout the nursery have been amazing. We have
made lifelong friendships. I cannot thank them enough for taking care of my babies for such a long time, we'll miss everyone there.

Great nursery. My daughter has been there since 6 months old - from baby room through to pre school. The aunties are so caring, supportive and really care about the kids. Through to the ladies in the office. It is really a brilliant nursery!

Excellent nursery. My son attended West Park from the baby room through to preschool and I can honestly say I never had a single concern about the nursery. The aunties are all fabulous and take time getting to really know the children and show genuine care for them. They provide an excellent learning
environment for children which allows them to flourish. They always put me at ease knowing my little boy was happy and cared for while I was at work. My little boy has now left as he is getting ready to start school but he still talks about the nursery often and how much he misses them.
Would definitely recommend.

Reply from Debbie Easter, Owner at West Park Kindergarten

Thank you for submitting your review and for the lovely comments, we are so glad he enjoyed his time at West Park and I'm sure he will enjoy school just as much.

We are very grateful for the service and care our son received from West Park Kindergarten. We cannot fault them for anything, their care is spot on, and my son enjoys nursery and loves his key workers. We also observed massive improvement in our son's development after 4 months of his stay in the nursery.
He goes to nursery 2 full days a week and we wish he could be allocated more days as our circumstances have changed. Due to this, we will have to move him to a childminder.
We will miss West Park Kindergarten and the lovely staff and their manager. I will definitely recommend you to friends and colleagues looking for a nursery.
Thank you.

Reply from Debbie Easter, Owner at West Park Kindergarten

Thank you very much for your review and we wish you lots of luck in the future, I'm sure your childminder will be amazing.

My eldest daughter started in the toddler room around 3 years ago, they were amazing with her, she went in with only speaking 3 words and came out the first session learning Sky, Tree and House! I was amazed at how fast she had learned them with me and her daddy trying so hard! Nursery has been absolutely
amazing with her! Throughout her years right up until leaving. She absolutely loved all the staff there, and we were both so upset she had to leave to go to big girl school. I then had my youngest daughter, and without a doubt, knew she was going straight to West Park, I couldn't think of a better nursery to send her to, she's been going a year now and absolutely loves it! They have been so amazing with her and I will be sure to send my little boy there next September too! I will be sad to see the day when my little boy has to leave for big school as this nursery has been one of the best in Blackpool.

My little girl started in February 2023 in toddlers, and has excelled since starting! She comes home with new skills, her speech was delayed but since attending West Park has now met the targets. She loves going to see her carers and all her friends and comes out excited to tell me about her day! The
carers support any questions or worries I have whether it's in pre school or home life and I'm extremely grateful!

It's a wonderful kindergarten. We are a Ukrainian family who came to the UK recently and when our daughter started attending this nursery, my child did not speak English. But the adaptation was great. Now she knows many words in English and sings songs. And the kindergarten and caring staff helped her
with this. My two-year-old daughter walks around with a smile. She loves her key worker and the kids. She enjoys playing games, dancing and walking outside. Thank you for your work.

Fantastic nursery both my son and daughter attend West Park. My 4 nieces also attend. The staff are very friendly, professional and supportive of your child's development. Both my children have so much fun at nursery. They have weekly topics for creative, fun learning indoors and outdoors. We always
receive plenty of detailed feedback daily with pictures. They have great security methods providing a very safe environment.
Highly recommend.

Three years ago, our baby joined West Park Kindergarten. At that time, he couldn't even walk. It's hard to believe that now he is leaving preschool for big school.
The care and support from the Aunties has been great. They are kind and caring, and our little boy has always felt loved. He has thrived
here, learning, growing and discovering new things every day. He has made many friends.
It's been a very nurturing environment. From the baby room to the toddler room and up to preschool, every transition has been seamless, thanks to the lovely Aunties' support. We are so grateful for the strong foundation they have helped build preparing him for big school and the future.
I wholeheartedly recommend West Park Kindergarten to any parent looking for a place where their child will be well taken care of. Thank you to all the wonderful Aunties for making these past years so memorable and special for our little boy and our family. We are going to miss you all dearly.

Both of my children attend West Park, and I couldn't fault it. My eldest has been there for over 2 years, and my youngest joined this year. I knew I wanted my children to attend here before I even applied from previously seeing how amazing it was when my niece attended. We don't particularly live close,
but I was willing to travel to have them in this nursery. The whole team make you feel welcome instantly and the relationships they build with you and your child, not just your child's key worker but all throughout the nursery is amazing. Management is fantastic with any enquiries and always responds really quickly. Both kids have thrived and learnt so much since starting here. They are passionate, friendly and professional, and you can genuinely tell how they care for each and every child that walks through the doors. The facilities outside and in for the kids are great, as are all the activities they do with them.

Both my children have attended West Park Kindergarten, with my youngest currently still attending. My little girl joined the nursery in 2018 and had nothing short of excellent care for the 3 years she attended. Have found this to still be the case with my little boy who has currently been attending
for the past 16 months.
The staff are friendly, reassuring and always welcoming at drop off/pick up. They complete a wide variety of activities throughout the week and frequently attend local community assets. Office staff have always been super helpful and responsive to any queries. Feel both my children have thoroughly enjoyed their time at the nursery, never had any difficulties there, and am really happy with the progress in their development which is reflective of the care and education the staff provide.
Have recommended this nursery to many friends and family over the years, and will continue to do so.

West Park is an amazing nursery. Both my children attend their three days a week in different rooms. The staff are incredible at their jobs, everything is done perfectly. My children absolutely love going there, and they've learnt so much since going.

The most child-centred environment with amazing Aunties. My grandchild has felt wanted and safe here. The staff are very supportive of the family as a whole.
A child with special needs will thrive in this environment.

Reply from Debbie Easter, Owner at West Park Kindergarten

Thank you for your review, fortunately, we have amazing staff and that is what makes the nursery stand out for children with special needs, our SENCO has so much knowledge and this is passed on to the other staff working with these amazing children.

I cannot recommend West Park Nursery enough! All the staff are so lovely, my little girl absolutely loves the nursery, she has made such lovely bonds with the staff members. Office staff are excellent, if I ever need to add an extra day last minute they always do their best to make this work! I always
let my friends and family know how great the nursery is and I always recommend it to anyone in need of a warm homely place to send their children.
I feel very at ease sending my little girl here and I feel it is a very safe place.

My son has been attending West Park Kindergarten since September 2021 from recommendations from other parents he started in the baby room and is now in pre-school. As a first-time Mum, I was so anxious about letting other people take care of my son but since day one the managers and aunties have been
so supportive both for my son and us as parents. They never miss any details about how he is getting on, development-wise, what he's eaten and what he's been up to in the day. They are always so welcoming and love to talk to you about anything you need to ask, my son is so happy to be going and is always saying how much of a good day he has had, all about what he has learnt. If a child being happy and excited about going to nursery doesn't speak enough volumes I don't know what will! I would recommend this nursery to any parent!

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.967)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.967) out of 10 for West Park Kindergarten is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 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 4.967 for West Park Kindergarten is calculated as follows: ( (347 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 359 Ratings = 4.967

  • 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 West Park Kindergarten is based on 30 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 75 number of registered child places is 15, which has been reached with 30 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.
