  • My First Friends Droitwich, Droitwich
My First Friends Droitwich is a nursery that embraces the great outdoors, nestled in the beautiful woodland of Droitwich. The setting takes pride in providing children with a stimulating environment for learning and development while encouraging outdoor play, come rain or shine. The nursery offers exceptional care, enriched by unique learning opportunities for your child. One such experience is child-friendly cooking classes, helping to equip children with valuable skills and deeper knowledge of the cooking process.

The 'Dreamers' room, situated upstairs, caters to the youngest children up to about 16 months, with three adjoining rooms designed to offer ample space and natural light. Connected to this room is the 'Discoverers' room, catering to children aged from about 16 months to 2 years old. Both rooms are equipped with a range of equipment designed to encourage walking and promote steady development.

The 'Explorers' room is for children aged around 2 to 3 years old and is divided into four smaller areas, allowing the team to focus on the individual developmental needs of each child. The Pre-School area for children aged around 3 to 4 years old is split into three smaller rooms, providing plenty of space for children to learn and grow.

The garden area is equipped with an allotment where children can learn about sustainable living through planting and growing their own food. The garden also includes a play park situated within a vast woodland area on the nursery grounds. Here, children can enjoy a range of child-friendly equipment, including a sandpit, construction area, firepit, mud kitchen, and a bug hotel, affectionately known in the nursery as 'Buggingham Palace.' This setting provides an outdoor classroom for children to connect with nature and enjoy learning in a unique environment.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
What an amazing, nurturing and caring environment for my children. My two younger children attended over the last 5 years. I always felt confident in the most professional and caring staff taking care of my babies. They always had a smile on their faces and were welcomed with just as big a smile. Thank
you for making such an impact on their personalities and their early years development.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both of my children had a fantastic experience throughout their time at My First Friends. I couldn't have asked for a better nursery. The staff are wonderful and very caring. The resources and outside space are excellent. Every day is packed with brilliant and imaginative activities. Staff adhered to
my children's individual routines. When my son was toilet training the staff really helped and it made the experience so much easier. Children are fed nutritious and varied food and alternatives are always available if required. I will be sad to see my children leave this truly sensational nursery.

This nursery is absolutely brilliant, as a parent the communications we get from the nursery and the updates through the day are fantastic - we feel informed and up to date at all times. The staff are incredible, they are so passionate and constantly ensure the children are engaged and learning with
purpose, as well as creating a positive and happy environment that encourages creativity and the children to be themselves. The experience at all age groups has been the same fantastic standard, we'd recommend this nursery to anyone!!

Our son absolutely loves his days at Nursery-he is thriving. The girls have made him feel so at home and he settled in straight away. I feel no anxiety as I know he is in the best hands. I have found his speech has improved since starting nursery and I'm loving watching him grow and learn new skills
thanks to My First Friends. The updates are brilliant and so is the food!

Both of my children LOVE nursery and have the best time there, they never moan about going and always run in full of smiles. The staff make the place so great. They are caring kind, happy, consistent & plan the most crazy fun activities.
The room facilities and garden area especially are fantastic
giving the children lots of space to play. Little & big things are being developed and improved regularly, they now have on site catering & cooking "lemons" which is amazing.
I can't recommend MFF highly enough, they are an outstanding nursery in every way.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.899)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.899) out of 10 for My First Friends Droitwich 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 33 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 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 4.899 for My First Friends Droitwich is calculated as follows: ( (357 Excellents x 5) + (36 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 395 Ratings = 4.899
  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 My First Friends Droitwich is based on 33 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 72 number of registered child places is 14.4, which has been reached with 33 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.
