Overall Experience

I would highly recommend Westerhope Village Nursery, even during the pandemic, the level of care and support for my daughter hasn't faltered. They know my daughter well and how she's getting on. The staff always find the time for any queries or questions on how things are going.

Review from Kelly L (Mother of Child) published on 15 February 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Westerhope village nursery is just fantastic. The staff are very warm and friendly. The building is inviting, clean and spacious for the kids. The classrooms are colourful and the staff are more than accommodating. The variety of food the children are served is really encouraging for them to try different foods. My boy comes out happy and smiling every day. The children have lots of outdoor play and the staff are really hands on with encouragement and praise. As a parent, I feel I am well informed about what my child has been up to on a daily basis. Highly recommend this five-star service.

Fantastic nursery, highly recommended. The staff are so calm and welcoming. They helped both my children settle in really well, especially in the early days when they were unsure about being away from their parents.

Overall Experience

Westerhope Village Nursery is an absolutely fantastic setting that caters for all needs. You are made to feel part of the family as soon as you step through the door. Nothing is too much trouble for the lovely staff. We absolutely adore everything about this nursery. Throughout this Pandemic, they have been consistent and very clear with their guidelines. Always ensuring everyone's safety at all times. We have been very impressed with their continuing, clear information and for providing us with care, whilst we are both still working. I tell everyone about how much we love Westerhope Village Nursery, so much so that another of our neighbours has just signed up her 1-year-old. I cannot say it enough - a brilliant nursery.

Review from Lola O (Mother of Child) published on 15 February 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

A very standard and amiable nursery for my daughter and previously my son. The staff are far too kind and work collaboratively with us parents, to care for the children. Staff is very professional and friendly. My children are so fond of them and so am I. I would certainly recommend a million times for a well-rounded learning for kids.

Overall Experience

I can not fault this nursery at all, all the girls are amazing and I’m overwhelmed with how much they do for the children, my son's development has come along to an amazing degree. All the girls are so lovely, any issues I have had in the past regarding my child have been dealt with amazingly, I know for sure with any further children I may have will absolutely be attending this nursery. 100% recommended! Can’t thank the girls enough for caring for my son the way they have the past 3 years. Amazing nursery.

Review from May (Mother of Child) published on 8 July 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I am over the moon with my decision to place my daughter in Westerhope Village Nursery. Her speech, which was my main concern, has improved so much. The nursery staff are lovely and I never have any worries leaving my daughter in their care. My daughter doesn’t have any siblings but she is so confident and kind towards other children, and I definitely think the nursery has contributed to this. I can’t thank the staff enough!

Overall Experience

My son has developed amazingly since attending. He is age 2 and started in October 2019 and missed April May and June due to COVID-19. However, he has settled back in easily and I am happy going to work whilst he is in the care of this childcare provider.

Overall Experience

My youngest daughter attends this nursery and absolutely loved it. She’s happy and confident and loves to tell me how much fun she has had. The staff are fantastic and always give a handover at the end of the day of what she’s eaten and the activities she has been up to that day. I’ve never had any problems and also sent my older two children here too.

Review from Wes F (Father of Child) published on 3 October 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I have been very impressed by this nursery. The staff are very friendly, knowledgeable, attentive and have great attention to detail. I am regularly updated on the progress, development and key milestones for my child. My child has adapted very well and really enjoys his time at nursery. We also have been given advice and assistance with support of arranging a speech and language referral. We couldn’t ask for more - not only have all the staff been great, the nursery is very well administered by the management team. Highly recommend this nursery and you are made to feel at ease at the thought of leaving your child, impacting on any anxiety issues.

Review from Karen K (Mother of Child) published on 2 October 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter attended Westerhope Village Nursery from 1 year old until recently when she went to school and my 1-year-old son is now also attending the nursery. The staff are fantastic. They have been very flexible with settling in periods for my son and have got to know him very quickly. He's developed lovely relationships with them in a short time and I always feel confident he will be well looked after. The nursery is spacious and there are plenty of toys and books for the children to play with. The outside area is great and had different areas for different ages. I'd have no concerns recommending this nursery to anybody.

The staff at Westerhope Village Nursery are - without a doubt - amazing. They are so good not only with the kids, but with us parents too. I always know what my little girl has been up to and they keep me informed every step of the way. My child has come on leaps and bounds since she started here and I honestly can’t recommend them highly enough.

Overall Experience

My son has been attending Westerhope village Nursery since he was 1 year old, he is now 4 and moving on to school in September. My son loves the nursery, the staff and activities and has made so many friends. The nursery does not just focus on maths/English, etc but on the social/physical and emotional development of each child. I cannot thank the staff enough for the past 3 years. I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent!
