My son enjoys going to the nursery. He moved when he was 2 years 8 months and had a very smooth transition from his previous nursery. Communication between management, teachers and parents is frequent and feedback is often sought and responded. They learn French, forest school, dance class etc which
helps overall 3-4 year old development. Overall, highly recommended and will definitely send my second child along as well.

The staff are excellent and facilities are superb. Our son loves every day at the nursery. He comes home singing different songs from nursery and the communication from the nursery helps us understand what he is doing.

Generally, my kid is very happy to go to the school. She seems like she is enjoying most of the activities.
It would be nice to have some good quality photos. Not expecting many photos but few good photos will be great.
Not sure with her lunch as she finds herself really hungry after the school.

Reply from Michelle Kimberley, Manager at Westbury House Nursery

My child started in the nursery in November 2024. The onboarding and settling-in period was very smooth. The nursery manager has been outstanding, and the nursery's communication is very good. Every day my child says "so fun" at pick-up, and asks if he can go back to nursery the next day.

Thank you for your warm review, we do endeavour to ensure children and their families feel welcomed and part of our community.

We could not be happier with Westbury House Nursery. Both our girls have adored it since the minute they started and have thrived and developed in the setting. The nursery has given our eldest the best preparation for starting school and the staff are all incredibly nurturing and supportive. Highly
recommend.

Our little one was welcomed with open arms and effortlessly became part of her group. Her birthday, which happened to be in the first week, was celebrated enthusiastically. The activities, day trips, and food are fantastic. It's been nine months, and she still looks forward to spending time with her
friends at the nursery.

Fantastic nursery. Excellent communication systems in place and the children seem to have a very rich experience. They benefit from being attached to the school. Good amount of focus on the pre-school curriculum, lots of extracurricular activities (dance, multi sports, forest school, music) and the
staff are creative with the different activities they do each week. Would highly recommend it!

We have had a fantastic experience with Westbury House Nursery. The teachers have been caring and devoted, helping our daughter grow to be a confident and comfortable child in less than a year. The level of education and activities is exceptional, and the children are happy and always excited to go
to nursery. It is such a wonderful school!

Our son has been at Westbury House Nursery since he was two, and it's been a wonderful experience. The care has been excellent, with teachers who clearly love their work. He's made great friends and is always excited to go, often talking about his friends and teachers.
There have been some staff changes,
but the nursery has been very open about these. The new staff have been fantastic, and our son's education hasn't been affected at all.
While other local nurseries are good, Westbury House Nursery is also very cost-effective, which is important for many parents.
We've been so happy with Westbury House Nursery that our daughter, who's nearly two, will be starting there soon. I would strongly recommend Westbury House Nursery to any parent looking for a nurturing place where their child can thrive.
Our son is now moving on to preschool, and thanks to his time at Westbury House Nursery, he's well-prepared for this next step. We're truly grateful for the positive start Westbury House Nursery has given him in his education journey.

I couldn't be happier with the nursery where my son has spent the last two years. The staff are truly amazing and have played a significant role in his development. He's grown so much during his time there, and it's clear that the nurturing environment has been instrumental in his progress. His favorite
lessons are dance class, gymnastics, and multi-sports, they have not only been enjoyable but also beneficial for his overall growth. I'm grateful for the wonderful care and education he's receiving at this nursery!

We have had the best experience sending our 2-year-old to Westbury House! Our child started attending the term time only schedule and it has been a game-changer. They learn in a school-based setting with a mix of focused and free-flow activities. The communication between staff and parents is outstanding.
We have seen our child make reams of progress across all areas of learning. We cannot wait to enrol our youngest when they turn two.

My son loves attending nursery and he has developed so much during his time there. The staff led by the nursery manager is highly committed and genuinely cares for the children. It’s a thriving partnership between the teachers and the parents. He is speaking a lot and his imagination is extraordinary.
The stimulation he gets there is good. I can’t wait for my daughter to join him there.

Westbury nursery is wonderful, my little one has been part of it for a year and a half and has shown good progression and development. He settled into his class quickly and loves it there. All the staff are very friendly and caring. In addition, there is a lovely chef who cooks the childrens' food on
site and provides snack time and tea time food. My little one also enjoys taking part in dance class, particularly the multi-sports activities and gymnastics. Thank you so much for looking after our children well.

Our little one started at Westbury House Nursery earlier this year and we can see his improvement in all aspects. All the staff, particularly the manager, are absolutely lovely to work with and always have a “can-do” attitude. One of the requests I asked her and her team to help me with is potty training.
Unlike our previous nursery which said that we needed to do it on our own in the first month, the manager immediately said it is not a problem at all to kickstart from them. Still a work in progress but I can’t thank them enough for this as well as for nourishing my little one in all aspects of development. I especially love their different classes e.g. cooking, dancing etc. Thank you so much, Westbury!

My daughter has been attending Westbury House Nursery since January 2022. She had a very structured settling process. She has settled in the nursery very well. Her speech and social skills have immensely improved since attending nursery. I think it is one of the best decisions of my life. The teachers
just know exactly how to promote independence. They have a very loving and caring approach towards the children. I appreciate all that they do to create skilled little humans.

Firstly, I have to say all the staff within the nursery are bright, chirpy, energetic and enthusiastic about their jobs. This energy filters down to our children and makes them want to come to nursery. My child loves coming in and enjoys his days at nursery.

I’m quite satisfied with this nursery. There are many activities and learning programs. I prefer learning something rather than just playing. And now, they have provided lunch for all children which is very helpful to us.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.765)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.765) out of 10 for Westbury House Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 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 4.765 for Westbury House Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (98 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 119 Ratings = 4.765

  • 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 Westbury House 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 40 number of registered child places is 8, which has been reached with 10 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.
