Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both my children have attended this nursery so we have been going to Westchester House for over 7 years. The biggest plus of us has always been the very caring staff who give that extra mile for the children. Their care and attention are superb and they really get to know the children individually.
The building/outside space is a lovely environment for children to learn and play in.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot speak highly enough about Westchester Nursery. Our son has been there just over a year and really enjoys himself. He is a bit behind in his language development and the support we have received has been tremendous. All the staff are doing everything they can to encourage him and have put together
a learning plan. I really like hearing about what he has done during the day when I pick him up, it sounds so much fun.

Since my child has been at Westchester, all the staff have been amazing. Always happy, welcoming, professional and you can tell they genuinely care.
My child loves it here and has excelled. The facilities are superb and the quality of food is exceptional. I know this as my child rarely has reports
of missed/skipped meals and she cannot wait to come to nursery.
Thank you all, keep it up.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.801)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.801) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Farnham Westchester House Day Nursery and Preschool 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 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.801 for Bright Horizons Farnham Westchester House Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (283 Excellents x 5) + (59 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 347 Ratings = 4.801
  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 Bright Horizons Farnham Westchester House Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 29 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 97 number of registered child places is 19.4, which has been reached with 29 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.
