There are not enough stars! My daughter was looked after by Westfields for three days a week from…read moreage 6 months to 4 and a half. The current owners took over about a year before we started using them, and have made huge improvements. There is just the right amount of friendly home atmosphere combined with the right amount of professionalism. Turnover of staff is very low (high turnover being more common with nurseries, and a problem for parents and children). The staff are a good mix of younger and older women, all with real affection and commitment to their charges. I can't recommend highly enough - but they hardly need it, you need to make a reservation for the twinkle in your eye, they're so popular.

We send our son to this nursery and I can't recommend it more thoroughly than that! It was opened…read morein October of 2011 and it's a really, really great place. It's run by a couple and was formerly a family home but has been converted by the husband, who was previously a builder, to a really high standard. There are lots of lovely touches throughout the nursery, including a wooden play shop built into one of the rooms. He's now the chef and prepares all the children's meals fresh each day and the food always smells great. My son eats 2 portions most days! There are two rooms. One for the tiny kids - up to about 2 years of age, and another for those of preschool age. Our son has just moved to the 'bigger kids' side and they have managed the progression really well. He is really happy there and has come along leaps and bounds in terms of his confidence and speech since he started attending. Outside there is a lovely garden for the kids to play in, and it also has a covered area so they can still get fresh air when the weather is bad. There is a little vegetable garden that the kids help out on. The staff are brilliant and really make each day special for the kids. They do activities related to what is happening in the 'real world', so things such as Easter, Diwali, Mothers Day, etc, are all observed and catered for. We couldn't be happier with the place and I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending it with 5 stars.

Excellant nursery. My daughter has attended from 6mths old and she is now 2. The have seperate…read morerooms for babies,under two's and two pluses. The staff ar great and really care for the kids. It's 130 pound per week. For under ones you have to supply your ownfood, milk and nappies but for 1+ all drinks, breakfast and snacks are free. They are open from 8am to 5.45pm. Lovely rooms with a great choice of activities from painting, storytime and outside play to hatching chicks, fancy dress days and spending timewith the local firemen. We are kept regularly updated on chloe's progress and she has her own keyworker. i wouldn't go anywhere else.

Also known as 'The PEEP Shop', this is a great drop-in place at Cowley Centre/Templars Square…read more Whether you just drop in while shopping, for a rest and a cup of tea, or you travel there deliberately for a morning or afternoon's play, it is always welcoming and friendly. Children of all ages up to five are welcome - over-fives are sometimes accepted, but ask - and there are baby-changing facilities, breastfeeding-friendly chairs, microwave and plates/cutlery for feeding older children, comfy sofas and lovely staff. It's NOT drop-off - you must stay to supervise your child(ren) - but staff are willing to help out e.g. holding a baby while you take an older child to the loo Each day there is an activity or two, usually centred around a weekly theme (e.g. vehicles, Hallowe'en) and children are encouraged to cut, colour, stick, paint, and generally get involved. There's a baby corner with cushions and noisy toys, a great library of books, dressing-up clothes, sand and water play, outside space, and most children will find something to do or someone to play with, even the shyest ones. It's best not to take a pushchair if you don't need to, as space is tight, but that's the only drawback.
