I have had three children at the nursery now and the care team are absolutely amazing, they look after the children so well and I always feel at ease that they are well cared for. We have a great relationship with Carly and Heidi my children’s key workers and Lily is a great manager for the nursery who is always on top of your queries and they all make the children’s welfare a priority. Silvia the chef is also great and she varies their diet so they can try different foods. I can’t fault the team at Westfields they are all lovely and great with the children. Billing by Partou is my only criticism, I sometimes have to get the amount corrected as they have calculated it wrong.

Our children are very happy at Westfields. The team are cheerful and we know they will care for our children in line with our values and principles as parents. In the last few weeks the nursery has come under new management, and I haves felt greater sense of confidence in the nursery’s direction. Their leadership brings fresh energy and reassurance, and we’re optimistic about the future.

We went round to look at Westfields and the staff were really welcoming. The tour was very detailed and the nursery had a home away from home feel to it. The children looked happy and confident to talk to us as we went round the nursery. I am really looking forward to joining with you next year.

Westfields have been fantastic at helping our little one settle in. He only goes once a week, so it has been a process but they have shown real kindness and patience, and take notice of his interests to make him feel comfortable. He now loves his days with the team and always has a huge smile on his face at pick-up! I would highly recommend.
