Celebrating nursery success
We are thrilled to announce our Ryde School nursery has been recognised as one of the best in the South East.
Daynurseries.co.uk has ranked Westhill Nursery in the top 20 nurseries from 2,500 across the region in its annual awards.
These awards are based on the number of outstanding reviews given by parents, and it was lovely to welcome our families to celebrate this fantastic news with us.
Our Westhill Nursery Manager, Sian Hickmott, said: "We are all absolutely thrilled to bits. It’s such an achievement and I’m so proud of all the staff.
"They always pull together and this award is testament to their dedication and hard work.
"It has been wonderful to have the support of the parents, who truly value what we do."
At Westhill, the early years curriculum runs alongside a range of additional opportunities, utilising our school site to offer outdoor learning activities, plus tag rugby, cricket and ballet.
Set in our beautiful, fully restored Victorian building, Westhill provides a nurturing environment for young children to thrive, perfectly equipping them for moving into reception.
By following our Rainbow Rules, the children begin to learn and practice our school values of Ambition, Responsibility, Courage and Respect.
Amanda Hopkins, Reviews Manager at daynurseries.co.uk, said:
"We would like to congratulate Westhill Nursery at Ryde School on being rated by parents as one of the top nurseries in South East England.
"It is a fantastic achievement to be valued so highly by the families and carers of children attending the setting.
"This award represents valuable recognition from parents and carers that the nursery provides an excellent standard of care in a nurturing environment. High-quality early years education plays a vital role in supporting children’s development and fostering a lifelong love of learning.
"We hope these awards provide helpful guidance for parents so they can choose the right nursery for their child.”
