West Street Nursery is a fantastic place for kids to be in. The staff have so much passion for their jobs and the kids in their care. The teachers helped my kids to achieve their developmental goals, like toilet training, learning to feed themselves, speech, communicating and social skills.
They have
got a lot of resources and facilities to stimulate learning in the first years of children's lives. The nursery is always kept neat and tidy and the environment is very safe.
Overall, I can't fault this nursery and would highly recommend.
Thank you West Street Nursery for looking after my kids.

My daughter has been at West Street Nursery for nearly 2 months now and she is really enjoying it there. The environment is fun, friendly and very welcoming to parents and children. The staff are fantastic and work very well with the children. I was very satisfied with how the staff, including management,
got my daughter to settle into nursery. She very much enjoys and looks forward to going every day. Overall, I find the nursery to be satisfactory.

Brilliant nursery, polite and helpful members of staff. The nursery is extremely safe and secure for all the children. If you as a parent/guardian have any concerns to the child in your care, the members of staff are there to help you and listen to your concerns. I am very pleased and reassured that
my son is happy, safe and comfortable being in the nursery. The members of staff have helped my son a lot.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.548)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.548) out of 10 for West Street Nursery 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 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 10 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 Street Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (116 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 120 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 4.581 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for West Street Nursery is based on 10 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 86 number of registered child places is 17.2. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 17.2 = 0.581

  • 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.
