  • 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.

Review from Emily V (Mother of Child) published on 23 May 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son loves coming to the nursery and has done ever since he started at 8 months old. Nearly 2 years later there has never been a day he hasn't been happy to go to nursery. The staff are all very friendly and caring towards us as a whole family. The nursery itself is fantastic and offers wonderful
resources for the children, the outside being my son's favourite with the vegetable patches and the woodland area.
My son always comes home tired which shows the children have had a fun, exciting and busy day which is what playing and learning is all about. Thank you First Quest.
Reply from Denise Phelps at My First Friends DroitwichThank you for your lovely review, we are blessed to have such amazing families and a wonderful team who go above and beyond to support everyone.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son loves coming to nursery, it is very friendly and welcoming. The outside space is one of the many reasons why I chose this nursery. The staff are excellent and so helpful. Would definitely recommend this nursery to others, and I know both my son and I will miss it when he goes to reception in
September but he has had the best start.
Reply from Denise Phelps at My First Friends DroitwichThank you for your lovely review, we will indeed miss him when he leaves us to start school.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.914)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.914) 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 40 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 40 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 4.914 for My First Friends Droitwich is calculated as follows: ( (440 Excellents x 5) + (37 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 479 Ratings = 4.914
  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 40 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 40 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.
