My daughter has been at Weetwood Preschool for over a year and a half now and she really enjoys her time there. She feels happy and secure at Weetwood and has a fantastic relationship with the staff there who have really nurtured her and helped her to grow in confidence. The outdoor and indoor spaces
are very well planned, with a wide variety of activities available for the children to explore. There have also been an interesting range of workshops with visitors to the preschool which my daughter has really enjoyed taking part in. The communication with parents is great - it is very easy to communicate with the teacher in person, or via their online systems, and we get regular updates about how she is getting on and the new skills that she is developing. My daughter has come a long way with her writing, phonics and number skills since starting at Weetwood, and I feel confident that she has been well prepared for the transition to school in the Autumn.

We absolutely love Weetwood Nursery/Preschool! Our daughter is due to start school this September so when she leaves our son will take her place. We love how professional, friendly and caring the staff are. We love that the kids learn so much and always have a lot to share about their day when we collect
them. I love that the preschool organise workshops and events such as summer fair, Christmas fair and sports days, bake sales, Chinese new year, Eid celebrations etc connecting students and parents and teaching them about the world as a whole. We love that the school has all natural materials such as wood, metal and fabrics rather than plastic toys and materials. I love that kids have organised activities and are not just left to free play all day. Can’t recommend Weetwood Nursery/Preschool enough.

My daughter attended the pre-school at Weetwood Primary School Nursery for a full year and we were so pleased with the progression she made since starting with Weetwood.
The facilities and atmosphere of the classroom is fun (but with a positive learning angle as well). My little girl was so well prepared
for starting school in September as the standard of teaching and support has been exceptional.
I would not hesitate recommending this pre-school.

Fantastic nursery!! Cannot thank the staff enough. My son started in April after the Easter holidays and Weetwood was so accommodating. He absolutely loves going and has progressed so much in the space of 3 months! We receive regular updates on how he is doing in nursery and the various things he has
learnt. The teachers are fantastic with him and he always goes in and leaves with a smile. So reassuring to know our son is well looked after when we are not around! 100% recommended.

My daughter has loved every minute of her time at Weetwood Nursery, the staff are fantastic and made her feel so comfortable and welcome (so much so that she cried when they left our house after the initial home visit). The provisions are excellent, especially in the outside area. It also has a great
parent community and a fab holiday club. Would absolutely recommend it to other parents.

All three of my children have been to Weetwood Nursery over the years. All three loved their time there, lots of fun activities, amazing staff which enabled my kids to learn so much from being independent and building confidence. The excellent provision helped my children get ready for reception. I
would highly recommend this nursery to others. My children have great memories of the nursery and staff.

Our child turned 3 recently and started attending Weetwood Nursery since September 2020.


The staff have been very attentive and welcoming while we have been settling in. Especially with the significant upheaval due to coronavirus, staff have all gone above and beyond to make our child feel safe

and secure at nursery. There is an excellent outdoor play area including a sandpit, muddy play area, slide and climbing frames which the children use in all weathers (appropriately dressed for the weather). The indoor area has a lovely dancing space and a tumbling mat. There are lots of crafts activities and books. The communication with parents is excellent; staff are approachable and kind, we feel they have really taken an effort to get to know our child and help them to thrive in the new setting.


I would happily recommend this nursery to anyone with a child over 3. The staff and setting are wonderful.

My daughter started in September after transferring from a private nursery. She is absolutely thriving! Her level of independence and development has improved so much and she’s so excited about going each day. The information via observations photos and videos we receive each week is fantastic and great
to see her working on such a variety of activities. She has quickly made new friends and the teachers that work with her really know her well. The outdoor space is a particularly strong feature too, lovely green areas with a brilliant range of activities. I’m so happy we made the move and feel she will be in a great position when the transition to school takes place in a year. Well done to the staff (including those in the fab after school club too). It makes such a difference knowing she is happy and well cared for.

I would definitely recommend Weetwood Nursery. My children love to go, they were upset at leaving me to start with but the teachers were amazing at getting them settled and made me feel at ease. They have both developed so much since starting just a month ago. I am kept up to date with their learnings
on tapestry and dojo which I love to watch to see how they are getting on. They do so much in a day fun games and learnings and love to tell me all about it.
Great Nursery and staff.

Both of our children had a wonderful time at Weetwood. They settled very quickly and were made to feel welcome, safe and cared for. The indoor space is interesting and varied; the outdoor playground is brilliant and has just been upgraded with water play, climbing area and new equipment. Both children
loved the muddy forest school part of the outdoor space. Phonics and numeracy were integrated into play, and the transition to reception was seamless. Opportunity for out of school club and holiday club was brilliant. Very happy overall.

Amazing outdoor play area. My son particularly enjoyed the construction area as well as the sand and water area. There are also lots of lovely indoor resources, which change with various topics. The staff are all lovely and very supportive of the children, and the nursery is well managed.

We moved our daughter to Weetwood nursery a year before she started reception to try and facilitate the transition from nursery to a school environment, and it was done brilliantly.
The set up is perfect for supporting their independence as they choose where and with what to play. Structured sessions
are guided with plenty of music, creativity and the chance for children to learn in a very easy and natural way.
The staff are tuned into the needs of the children and encourage them to stretch themselves in all areas.
I can confidently say the move to reception was seamless having had such a strong introduction to the school environment.

My daughter attended Weetwood nursery for nine months prior to her starting reception class. I had been worried about moving her from her existing nursery as she was settled. I soon realised it had been the right decision. Her confidence grew greatly at Weetwood nursery, and it definitely helped with
school readiness, particularly as she mixed so much with reception children in the play area. Her phonics developed and set her on good stead for school. The resources are fabulous and set out in a way that encourages free play, creativity and independence. The outdoor space area is wonderful and very large. Most importantly of all, the staff were kind, supportive and encouraged my daughter to develop and explore her interests while also challenging her in a supportive way to try new things. We loved the nursery and are soon about to send our second child there.

My daughter has had a great experience at Westwood Primary School Nursery. The staff are very kind and caring towards the children. My daughter's phonics really developed during her time at nursery, she also had many activities planned every day to keep her busy and entertained. The nursery has helped
her to prepare for Reception and her writing and reading have really advanced. The nursery is well managed and the outdoor area is fantastic.

Current Review Score: 8.6 (8.605)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.6 (8.605) out of 10 for Weetwood Primary School Preschool 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 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.6 out of 5 from 3 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 4.970 for Weetwood Primary School Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (32 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 33 Ratings = 4.97

  • 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 3.635 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Weetwood Primary School Preschool is based on 3 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 = 3.25

    • 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 39 number of registered child places is 7.8. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 7.8 = 0.385

  • 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.
