Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We were recommended Westwood Day Nursery by our son's SEN teacher after struggling at other settings. We were apprehensive about the move as we felt our son had been let down previously. What can I say, we were absolutely blown away by Westwood and the staff. From the moment we went to visit we were
made to feel welcome, our son accepted and a very thorough settling-in plan was made to ensure our son would be well supported from the moment his settling sessions started. His 1:1 funding was applied for and granted right away meaning his needs have been catered to from the get-go. He is thriving and developing so rapidly now he has the right support and staff around him. Everyone at Westwood is so friendly and welcoming, they all have a smile on their face every time I see them and you can tell they love all the children. I am so impressed by Westwood and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone sending their child to nursery.

Westwood Day Nursery have made going back to work easier and have made a difficult transition, easy. The communication from the start has been excellent. All questions have been answered efficiently on walk-arounds, settling days and normal day-to-day nursery. The daily app updates are great and help
keep worry at bay, especially in the first few weeks - however updates have not stopped after the first month, every day I have something. All the members of staff know what is going on in the rooms and seem to know all the children. Every time I have asked questions about my son's day, attitude, eating, routine etc the staff have answered straight away and honestly, which has put me at ease. They have given me positive and negative feedback, which I have appreciated and builds my trust in the team. My son is always happy at drop off and pick up and smiles at all staff willingly. It has been a weight lifted off my shoulders choosing Westwood and would highly recommend the nursery.

My child has been attending this nursery for almost a year and has settled so well. All the staff are amazing and so caring towards the children. They aid in the children's development with activities both group and one-to-one, which correlate with seasons, special days or events. The communication
with this nursery is really good. I couldn't fault this nursery at all and would recommend it to anyone looking for a nursery place for their child.

My son struggled with separation from day one and the nursery staff went above and beyond to make his transition as smooth as possible for all of us, every morning for 3 years. He now says some of them are his best friends. You can truly leave your child at nursery knowing they will be well looked after,
learn new things every day and have a great time playing with their peers in a lovely environment.

A wonderful nursery to send your children to. Staff are warm, welcoming and caring and the level of care is outstanding. The activities and resources available to the children are wonderful and provide so many amazing learning opportunities and experiences. My daughter has just left now as she is going
to school but she has been there for nearly four years and she has had the best time! And my son is starting soon as nowhere else I would send him after my experience here with my daughter! I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a home away from home for their children and somewhere where they can thrive and grow and have the best start to their lives and learning. Thank you to all the staff at Westwood!

Our baby girl started nursery in May 2024, she really enjoys it.
All the staff have been extremely welcoming and have helped our baby settle in easily, into her new surroundings.
Our wee girl is enjoying all the activities including painting, music, playing outdoors and babbling her way through
the books.
The app and update conversations with the nursery staff at the end of the day are really informative, we are always made aware of her progress and developments.

Our son loves his time at Westwood Day Nursery and we certainly know he is in the best of hands. The staff are friendly, welcoming and encourage him to develop his skills through learning and play. The environment is clean, bright and full of exciting activities and topics that are regularly changed.
We receive regular pictures and updates via the app and lovely weekly newsletters. Everyone helped us with our son's transition to nursery providing him with the emotional support he needed to become comfortable with his new space and peers.
Thank you to everyone at Westwood Day Nursery.

Amazing friendly staff who make both parents and children feel comfortable attending nursery. Kept updated throughout the day on how the children are doing and get sent regular photos of them doing activities and playing. Both my sons love it here and we couldn’t ask for a better place to send them.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot speak highly enough of Westwood Day Nursery! My daughter has been there for the best part of 3 years and has learned and developed so much during this time. The staff show incredible care and attention to her development and also her wellbeing and they all built incredible relationships with
her in each room that she was in during her time here. Their communication is fantastic which has meant I've always had a brilliant relationship with the staff where I feel I can discuss anything necessary with them. We cannot wait for our son to start his journey here too. Safeguarding has always been their highest priority and I've always felt that my daughter was in safe hands here with the measures they take to ensure a safe environment and the facilities are great, especially the outdoor space which I know my daughter loves. They always go the extra mile, such as creating lovely gifts and cards for Mother's Day/Father's Day/holidays/birthdays etc.

My daughter started here in August 2023. Struggled first week but the staff were very good at comforting me to keep going and just as they said she settled within a few weeks. Now she enjoys every day she is in. Staff are all very friendly and informative. I feel safe to leave my child in their care.
Thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Fantastic nursery. They have created a safe, caring and nurturing environment. Every staff member has a smile and time to say hello. Lots of feedback by text, photo and 1-1 at the end of the day. Lots of fun activities and lots of invites to attend celebrations, jubilee, afternoon tea etc. The nursery
is easily accessed by roads, has parking and security is tight. The food is amazing and varied.
Our grandson loved it and attended from 9 months til 4 years, on a part-time basis. The nursery was very accommodating with adding days too. A lovely safe, caring and welcoming nursery. I really think this is due to good staff and good planning and organisation. I’d give it a 10/10 thank you

The warm and friendly environment at the nursery meant that every day at drop off I was comforted knowing how kind and caring the staff were. The staff were invested in my child from his first day there until he left to go to school. They encouraged him, listened to him and supported him.
This is
a brilliant nursery and they do a variety of activities with children to support their learning.

My son started at Westwood Day Nursery 8 weeks ago. I have found the Nursery to be very friendly and attentive to my son. I'm given updates each day on how his day has been, what activities he's been doing etc. The team are all friendly and have a genuine interest in my son and his development and wellbeing.
The app is also great for seeing how his day is going.

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.
