A Wonderful Nursery with Exceptional Care
Both my granddaughter and grandson attend Westwood Nursery, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, the staff have been welcoming, caring, and genuinely dedicated to the children's well-being and development.
The facilities
are excellent - bright, clean, and filled with a wide variety of toys, books, and learning materials. The outdoor spaces are fantastic too, giving the children plenty of opportunities to play, explore, and learn in a safe and engaging environment.
The staff team truly go above and beyond. They are always friendly, approachable, and professional, keeping us well-informed about the children's progress and daily activities. It's so reassuring to see how happy and confident both my grandchildren are when I arrive to collect them - they absolutely love it there!
I would highly recommend Westwood Nursery to any parent or grandparent looking for a nurturing and caring nursery.

My baby has been at Childbase since he was 9 months old. My baby absolutely loves attending nursery, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The staff in his room and around the nursery are warm, welcoming, and genuinely caring, which makes every drop-off easy and reassuring. The facilities are
clean, safe, and well-equipped, offering plenty of opportunities for play and learning. Since starting, I've noticed such a boost in my baby's independence and personality. It's wonderful to see him so happy, settled, and thriving in such a nurturing environment that he genuinely enjoys attending.

My son started in July 2025 and has been very happy throughout the last 3 months at Westwood. The staff are amazing and helped him to feel safe, settled and happy after just a couple of weeks. They are so attentive and caring and treat every child with so much love and kindness, whilst remaining professional.
The updates received via the app used by the nursery ensure that I am kept up to date with his naps, food intake etc. and the photos uploaded to the app make my day, as I can see that he is enjoying himself and thriving.
Nothing is ever too much trouble and the nursery Manager knows every child by name and always says hello to them each morning, which I think is a lovely touch.
I would recommend this nursery to everybody and now can't imagine sending my child anywhere else.

Westwood Nursery has been fantastic right from day one. Our daughter started nursery when she was 12 months old and stayed up until starting school. She really flourished in the kind, friendly and nurturing environment that the fabulous staff created. She was always happy to go and we loved hearing
what fun she had when she returned home. Westwood nursery staff were outstanding in looking after our daughter's dietary and medical needs, with her having multiple complex food allergies and sporadic eczema flare ups. Nothing was too much trouble and all staff were very competent and knowledgeable when it came to our daughter's care. I would highly recommend Westwood nursery.

Polly, Amarelda, Georgia, Louise and Sophia, in the baby room, have all been amazing at helping to settle my daughter in. In particular, Polly and Amarelda, her key worker, have just been so attentive, supportive and reassuring when needed. They really care and take such good care of her, so I can feel
happy at work. All the staff in general are so friendly and look like they really enjoy being there. I think it's really lovely how the managers greet you as you walk in; it's the little things that count. I couldn't ask for any more. I'm so happy.

My daughter was in the nursery until she moved to primary school reception. This is a nursery which parents could put their children there without any worries. My daughter was happy every single day when she was in this nursery. She had lots of things shared with me about this nursery. Even after
she left this nursery, she still told me some happy moments of this nursery sometimes. She loved her teachers and always mentioned their names. I believe the teachers brought up her with heart so she loved them so much. I have nothings to complain about this nursery.

Both of my children attended Westwood Day Nursery. Even after moving to another part of the city and the nursery no longer being local, I still would never have chosen to send my second child anywhere else. Over the last 8 years that we have been involved with the nursery, all of the staff in all of
the rooms have been kind, attentive and caring towards my children. They have both thrived and entered mainstream education prepared and equipped for the next stage in their lives. We are so sad to be saying goodbye to the team for the final time and wish everyone the very best for the future.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
For Westwood Day Care in Coventry. We couldn't have asked for a better nursery experience for our children, both of whom attended from the age of 1 to 4. The care, attention, and nurturing environment provided by the entire team have been incredible. It's been amazing to watch our children grow in confidence,
learn new things, and form such positive early memories.
A special shout out to Matt, his energy, kindness, and genuine passion for working with children really stood out. He made such a difference in our kids' time at the nursery, and we're so grateful for the impact he's had on their development.
Thank you to everyone for creating such a wonderful start to their learning journey

My daughter has been with Westwood Day Nursery since she was a year old, and is leaving to attend a nursery connected to the school she will attend next year. All staff are caring and supportive and encourage independence. The staff have helped her grow in confidence and skills to set her up for her
next stage in education. She always enjoys her time with the nursery, and we get regular updates throughout the day on what she is up to, which is very reassuring. I would recommend this nursery to anyone and look forward to watching my 2nd child grow as they attend Westwood in the new year.

Both of my children have attended Westwood from 1 year old. They have both been happy and enjoyed nursery throughout this. Every morning we get a friendly welcome without fail and staff are friendly and approachable. There is lots of effort to include parents with stay and plays, daily feedback and
items sent home. Any small issues have been resolved quickly and professionally. Would recommend this nursery due to the personal, friendly and professional approach from the management and nursery staff.

My daughter has been with Westwood from 10 months through to her now leaving preschool and we couldn't be happier with her time there. The staff are all very friendly and it is clear that they have built and environment where the staff genuinely care about the children. I've heard horror stories from
friends about other nurseries and so happy to say I don't have a single negative thing to say about Westwood. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the nursery to anyone looking.

My grandson has been attending this nursery for the last 2 1/2 years and I can only say it is brilliant! The staff are always so welcoming and give me full update on his day, when I pick him up, they do lovely open afternoons where I can stay and play, the meals they provide are of a really high standard
(very healthy) and the staff teach them to be self sufficient! He is a shy child around strangers but they are building his confidence every day! I couldn't recommend highly enough!

I've had the joy of watching both of my boys grow through Westwood Day Nursery-four years apart, but each with the same incredible experience. Although they attended at different times, the one constant has always been the love, care, and unwavering dedication of the staff.


As our youngest gets ready

to take the big step to school, we find ourselves looking back with full hearts and so much gratitude. We genuinely couldn't have asked for a better team to nurture and support our children during these precious early years.


The nursery is full of engaging activities that not only keep the children happily busy but also help them learn and grow every day. It's a clean, welcoming environment with wholesome, nutritious meals-and more importantly, it feels like a second home.


Westwood has been such a special part of our family's journey, and we'll always be thankful for the wonderful start it gave our boys.

What a wonderful nursery. Our first daughter thrived here so it was a no brainer for us for our second to start at Westwood too. Our second daughter started at 7 months. The team in caterpillars were amazingly patient in helping her settle in, especially as we started her so young and let her take her
time getting used to more people gradually. The nursery is clean, always really friendly, and the staff get to know you and genuinely care about your child. They also were incredibly on the ball when my daughter was being investigated for a potential allergy and got a safety plan in place. They also make a lot of effort to hold parent forums to get opinions, give you the chance to taste the menu for the children and hold fetes and family days and stay and plays regularly so that you feel very involved. Westwood is well worth it.

Westwood Day Nursery is a gem! From the fantastic staff, nurturing environment, learning through play, safe practices and communication, Westwood really has everything covered and more! It took time for my son to adjust to his new routine and surroundings. Staff acknowledged this showing empathy and
patience during this transition, trying different approaches, and now my son settles much better and really enjoys his time at Westwood. Whilst the children have key workers, all staff (including admin, management and even staff in other rooms!) take time to get to know each child, and make them welcome as soon as they arrive at the front door in a morning. Nothing ever seems too much trouble, you feel reassured knowing that your child is well looked after, getting regular updates via an app as well as honest feedback about their day on pick up. All the staff seem genuinely interested and passionate in what they do and it shows in their work and care. Could not recommend Westwood enough!

If you are looking for a nursery for your child(ren)... look no further!
Westwood Day Nursery, is exceptional!
A caring and nurturing environment with a strong emphasise on children adaptation.
In this environment, everybody is striving. Of course, children, but also the fantastic people who are
looking after the children. This means that everything is, sustainable.
As soon as you walk in there is an immediate sense of peace, serenity and most importantly... joy!
Some of the many things we love about the nursery: it is clean, staff rotation (they all know what's going on and always have a special word when the children come in or go out to make them feel seen); the seamless professionalism; children going out in the fresh air or going back in, in a blink of an eye; children being stretched and challenged in an appropriate way for them; cute, quick, efficient updates throughout the day; the safe entrance system; food plan and ideas.


Enjoy discovering this wonderful little gem!

Westwood Day Nursery has provided a safe and fun environment for my son to learn and develop over the last couple of years. The staff whether it be management or in the rooms are always friendly and have developed really positive relationships with my child. They always make great effort to ensure we
get feedback at the end of each day. Meal choices are nutritious and varied and represent good value for money. My son loves his time at Westwood and has visibly enhanced his self confidence, speech and numeral skills since he began.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.873)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.873) out of 10 for Westwood Day Nursery (Coventry) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 36 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 36 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 4.873 for Westwood Day Nursery (Coventry) is calculated as follows: ( (382 Excellents x 5) + (46 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 432 Ratings = 4.873
  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 Westwood Day Nursery (Coventry) is based on 36 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 70 number of registered child places is 14, which has been reached with 36 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.
