We joined in August and I can't praise the team enough. My son absolutely loves coming here now, staff supported him to settle in amazingly and they really do show that they care about each child. Communication is great and if you've ever had a worry or concern staff are great at helping and supporting
with that. My son's come on leaps since attending nursery here and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone.

A very friendly and lovely nursery. Our daughter has been at Westwood since she was 11 months old until the age of 4. She's loved every minute of it and has always come home happy. Our son who is 8, also spent the same amount of time at the nursery before starting school and it has been lovely that
both our children have been exposed to some of the same individuals who work there. The staff are exceptional, go above and beyond and absolutely adore the children that attend the nursery. This shows through the stories we hear after our daughter's nursery sessions on a daily and weekly basis. It was a very sad day picking up our daughter from her last day at nursery as the relationships she has built over the last few years have played such a crucial role in her development and have helped her to become school-ready. We can't thank the whole Westwood team enough for the last 7 years in supporting both our children's needs and development as well as supporting us through the whole journey.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has attended Westwood since one year old. I trust everyone there to look after him well and feel safe knowing that while I am working he is being cared for and educated. My son has grown in confidence and has made so many friends while being there. All the hard work his key worker and the rest
of the team has put in I know he is more than ready for ‘big’ school. He will miss everyone at Westwood but I know he has had the best start possible. Every day my son's interests have been the focus around learning, no matter what he likes doing his key worker will introduce learning opportunities. My son doesn’t like writing activities so they have come up with ways to engage him in fun mark making and writing activities. The kitchen team provide freshly made healthy food each day and we are made aware of the meals each day using the app, my son is able to try food that he wouldn’t ordinarily eat. There is also a good range of breakfast and snacks available.

From day one, my daughter absolutely loved her nursery. She always comes home full of stories about her exciting day. She really likes all of the staff. Personally, I really like the excellent level of communication and the fantastic quality of care and commitment from all team members. I'm thrilled
that my daughter attended Westwood Day Nursery.

Can’t speak highly enough of Westwood and how it has helped my son's development. He has come on leaps and bounds. The nursery is very accommodating with meal plans which suit us perfectly. He always goes into the nursery with a smile and doesn’t hesitate to walk in.

We couldn't be happier with the nursery. What with lockdown preventing children socialising in the usual way we really noticed a difference in our daughter, particularly since she started nursery. She has really come out of her shell and seems to be developing more and more each week which is a testament
to the staff. Communication is great with regular updates through the day via the app and study contact for anything more urgent or pressing. Would highly recommend.

We were very anxious having to move our two children to a different nursery part-way through the year and during Covid-19 but we definitely made the right choice to move them to Westwood Day Nursery (Coventry). From the first phone call with the manager to enquire about vacancies and now after five
months of them both attending full-time, we can honestly say that Westwood Day Nursery (Coventry) is brilliant. The staff are professional, kind, caring, engaging, fun and full of energy. We have been reassured that our children are being looked after well and that they are being supported to develop as individuals and their voices and interests are recognised. The communication we receive as parents from the nursery is excellent. Both of our children have additional support needs and the nursery have really worked hard to ensure they are supported and included in all activities and that they are working closely with other professionals involved. A fantastic nursery, that we highly recommend!

Lovely friendly nursery and preschool with dedicated outdoor spaces for the children. My son has been here since Caterpillars and once he settled in it has been nothing but wonderful. Of course Covid-19 has changed the drop off process as well as any extra activities, they used to have Dramatots but
I feel strongly that my son has progressed so much in this supportive environment. They cater for many dietary requirements and have been supportive with potty training. I have recommended this nursery to others and would be keen to again and again!

This is one of the best nurseries in Coventry. Staff are awesome as they all have a relationship with all the kids. My daughter settled in within a couple of days and she loves the nursery and the staff. She will even wake up during the weekend and ask to go to nursery. Thank you to all the staff for
their amazing services.

Extremely well-run nursery with great facilities and caring staff. Since joining this nursery, my child’s development has spring boarded. Along with their detailed development plans, Westwood Nursery is a very happy place to be for the children. My son loves his time in the nursery; he does not get
bored with the ever-changing activities and feels cared for by the loving staff.

Westwood nursery is amazing. My little boy loves every day he spends there. They are outstanding at communication and always letting me know how he is and how is getting on. He has come on leaps and bounds with his skills since attending. All of his key workers have been fantastic; they are so kind
and caring. Everyone is always so friendly on arrival and pick up times. I would recommend this nursery to anyone who has children that want to leave them in a kind, caring hands. He always has fun, and it’s so reassuring to know he is cared for as good as being at home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Enrolling my son at Westwood Nursery is the best decision I have ever made. He went from suffering from severe separation anxiety to a confident, self-assured child. He has loads of friends and is meeting or exceeding all milestones. In my opinion, Westwood played a huge role in this. The keyworkers
worked hard to give him individual attention and support to increase his confidence, and his strong bond with the staff has helped tremendously.


Westwood is laid out well with different activities planned for every day. Even better, these activities are based on the interests of the children currently in their care, and they really allow the children to shape what is planned for the day. Health and safety are taken very seriously, and I am completely confident that my son is safe in their care.


It is clear that the staff are hugely invested in keeping children safe and happy.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Westwood Day Nursery is a fantastic place for children to learn and develop. My 2 children attend this nursery and my son had special educational needs and the staff and his key workers have helped him massively to overcome any issues and developmental needs he required. He is a very confident and happy
child and he loves to see his friends at nursery and learned so much in the 3 years he has been there. My daughter started 1 year ago and she also loves going to the nursery, the staff keep me up to date on their day via Parentzone, they have worked very hard to keep the nursery open during the Coronovirus pandemic. I highly recommend the nursery to anyone who is looking for a place for their child within the Coventry and Kenilworth area. The management team are always very friendly when I drop and collect my children, I missed the team a lot when they were closed during last years summer lockdown, but they provided many useful resources on their website so I could continue these nursery activities.

Westwood Day Nursery has been so welcoming and accommodating ever since my son started 8 months ago. We are always greeted with happy smiles and my son comes back content and happy! He is learning so much more than I would be able to offer at home, particularly the social interactions with other adults
and children. This is sculpting him into a happy confident little boy! We get lots of feedback via the ParentZone app and I can tell the staff genuinely take pleasure looking after my son, nothing is too much trouble.

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.
