Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Our daughter has attended Westfields since she was 14 months, and we are really happy with all Westfields offer. The staff there are great and really take time to get to know the parents as well. The food is exceptional and we love that we have the resume every day that fresh, home-cooked food is available.
The cost is much higher than other high rating nurseries. However, given our daughter's time there we would not be looking at moving her to another setting.

We're really happy with the experience at Westfields, and especially since my child has moved to the toddler room. We have been so impressed with the staff in the toddler room. Approachable, engaged and seem to really know/understand my child. Day to day the nursery communicate well (on occasions I've
thought it might be nice to have more insights into daily activities, though appreciate you can't cover everything in a busy handover). Overall, we couldn't be much happier!

Westfield offers a warm and friendly environment that has really helped my child flourish and grow in confidence. She looks forward to going in and talks about staff with fondness when at home. Staff always take the time to talk to you during handovers and get to know each individual child.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Children are really looked after. There is a 'warm' feel to the nursery which I felt the moment I walked in. The staff know all the children's names very quickly and all say 'hi' even if they are not in the same room. They take the time to get to know the parents. I like that they don't play with plastic.
Reply from Jessica Davis at Partou Westfields Day Nursery & Pre-school
This is a lovely review K T, thank you. It is a beautiful feel and atmosphere here at the nursery and its lovely that we follow the curiosity approach (no plastics) to encourage curious learners.

Review from John Q (Father of Child) published on 5 February 2020 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My child's caregiver is first-rate. We could not ask any more from her. She is wonderfully kind and nurturing. The evidence of this is clear in our chid as he has developed enormously and is thriving. The nursery is, overall, excellent. The staff can't be criticised, but there are some policies that
are questionable. For example, fees are very expensive anyway but to charge a premium for mid-week days is punitive for those parents who can't choose their work pattern around it. Likewise, charging for days that the nursery does not open for is inconsiderate. The invoicing is not always accurate either.

Review from Susan D (Mother of Child) published on 21 August 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Westfields offer a clean, welcoming environment to both me and my children. The staff are friendly, professional, offer a nurturing approach and work with me to provide my children with the best care to learn, grow, develop and in recent months prepare for starting school.


At times, the nursery has

been slow to respond to certain requests that require escalation however, if within their control are proactive and helpful.


Parking at peak times can be tricky especially with two children.


In recent months, the nursery has had a "makeover" and looks bright and inviting.


Overall, I have been very happy with Westfields and would recommend it to parents looking for daycare.

We were first drawn to Westfields Day Nursery due to the staff and they have been brilliant. They genuinely know and care for our daughter and as first-time parents, we are really reassured by this. Our daughter (one-year-old) is eating really well, trying new foods and is very comfortable playing in
her new surroundings. She is very comfortable with the staff and seems keen to go in the mornings so we couldn't ask for more.

We chose Westfields as it was the closest nursery to our house so most convenient. I was surprised by how clean it was compared to others I'd look at. Really like the sleep pods and the low tables were in the baby room and the Montessori approach. I think the management team need time to settle in.
They
were a little inflexible on settling in sessions, we went from a 2-hour session to his first full day which was quite a jump for us.

My grandson has been attending this nursery for 7 months and the staff are all very caring. As he was only 8 months old when he started, I was concerned when leaving him in tears but was always reassured.
He has now settled well. I am unable to comment on a lot of questions as I only do the drop offs.

I moved my three-year-old son to this nursery based on convenience of location to start with but also because I’d heard it was good from friends with children there. It has been a brilliant decision as he has settled wonderfully. I think the staff are fantastic and so caring and thorough. The resources
are great and I love the focus on real objects to play with, rather than lots of plastic.

This month, my daughter has really settled into her class and this is largely due to the wonderful staff caring for her. Her primary carers have really bonded with her which has enabled her to feel safe and happy in her environment with them and other children. Her recent positive behaviour and development
has been very noticeable and her love of the staff and enjoyment of wanting to attend nursery even on her days off show that she is incredibly cared for and this is a credit to the lovely staff who spend their time encouraging a happy and positive nursery experience for her. Thank you :)

Westfields Day Nursery has a real family feel, which makes it very special. My little boy has been attending since he was a baby and has been well-cared for and nurtured during that time. I feel that the staff at Westfields Day Nursery have an open door strategy with parents in that they listen to any
parental concerns and address them appropriately. My little boy has developed some great relationships here with staff and children alike. Would definitely recommend!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.825)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.825) out of 10 for Partou Westfields Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.825 for Partou Westfields Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (137 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 166 Ratings = 4.825
  2. 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 Partou Westfields Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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
    2. 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 55 number of registered child places is 11, which has been reached with 14 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
