Westside is an independently owned preschool which parents described as having a 'homely feel'.

Ofsted has rated Westside as being 'good' with areas of 'outstanding' for personal development, behaviour and welfare care (March 2018).

Children have outstanding opportunities to gain impressive levels of respect and understanding of the wider world.

Highly qualified and dedicated staff use ideas both traditional and innovative to help guide children and parents along the path of early education.

Rooms are totally child oriented with no compromise and equipment is of the highest quality and developmentally appropriate.

In December 2018, Westside preschool was awarded 'Millies Mark' in recognition for going above and beyond the minimum requirements in paediatric first aid and through robust processes minimising risks and accidents giving a greater sense of reassurance to parents.

The preschool has a 'safe surface' outside play area and an allotment where children, plant, harvest, prepare and eat the fruit and vegetables they produce.

If your child is funded, or you pay the session fee, then that is all you pay, there are no extra charges for any activities such as cookery, no extra charges for snack, and no extra charges for art or materials, when your child starts they will also receive a free polo shirt with the Westside pre school logo

Westside is easily accessible by foot, car or public transport and has free on-site car parking for parents.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My child has been attending Westside for just over a year and he absolutely loves it.


The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. They go all out to support the children they have in their care. The children have a vast selection of activities to take part in both indoors and out. This ensures

they are learning as well as having fun.


I would highly recommend this nursery. The staff are great, engaging and enthusiastic while the children are happy, playing and learning.


Keep up the great work.

My son went to the school holiday club for the first time and he thoroughly enjoyed it. The Manager and her team work extremely hard to maintain a safe and serene atmosphere for the children to play. The nursery has many toys and things to do. I feel the staff don't get praised enough also the
manager should get a rewarding reward for her outstanding in all the work she does.

Current Review Score: 8.2 (8.167)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.2 (8.167) out of 10 for Westside Pre-School 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 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.2 out of 5 from 1 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 5.000 for Westside Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 5

  • 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 3.167 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Westside Pre-School is based on 1 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 = 3

    • 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 30 number of registered child places is 6. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 6 = 0.167

  • 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.
