Outstanding care.
A place to flourish.
A warm, welcoming nursery where children are known as individuals, curiosity is encouraged and every day brings new opportunities to learn, play and grow.
A nursery where children
have space to be curious.
At Westfield, we believe some of the best learning begins with a child's own question, idea or moment of curiosity.
Our environment is shaped around child-led discovery, giving children opportunities to explore, experiment, create and build confidence at their own pace. Warm relationships with our team provide the security children need to become increasingly independent.
And learning doesn't stop at the nursery doors. From time outdoors to library visits, local outings and experiences shared with families, Westfield is very much part of the community around it.
Curiosity-led learning
Open-ended experiences encourage children to investigate, imagine and follow the things that genuinely interest them.
Relationships that matter
Children are supported by a caring team who get to know their personalities, interests and individual ways of learning.
Part of the community
Local experiences and strong partnerships with families help children connect nursery learning with the wider world around them.
Room to explore.
Space to discover.
Westfield has been designed to give children freedom to move, investigate and choose where their curiosity takes them — from calm sensory experiences to big outdoor adventures.
Indoor and outdoor spaces work together, creating opportunities for movement, imagination, nature, creativity and quiet moments throughout the nursery day.

for exploring.
Space to run, climb, dig, investigate and enjoy being outdoors throughout the nursery day.

experiences.

& adventure.

& growing.
Growing areas, water exploration and the nursery's covered pond bring the natural world into everyday learning.
05
Indoors or out.
Follow the curiosity.
Free-flow learning gives children opportunities to move between experiences and follow their individual interests.

Meet Crystal.
Leading with experience & care.
For Crystal Cuthbertson, the most rewarding part of Early Years is watching children grow in confidence, discover what they can do and develop the skills and relationships that stay with them as they grow.
With almost 25 years of experience in Early Years, Crystal brings a wealth of knowledge to Westfield alongside a genuine enthusiasm for getting to know children and their families as individuals.
She is passionate about creating an environment where children can become increasingly independent, build friendships and enjoy learning through experiences that feel meaningful to them.

What matters is giving children the confidence to become independent, build friendships and develop skills that will support them throughout their lives.
Crystal Cuthbertson · Westfield Manager
Every child belongs
here.
Children arrive at nursery with different personalities, experiences, strengths and needs. Our role is to understand the individual child and help them feel secure, included and able to take part in nursery life.
At Westfield, support is shaped around the child rather than expecting every child to learn, communicate or settle in exactly the same way.
Knowing the child
comes first.
By working closely with families, observing children's development and adapting experiences where needed, the team can provide additional reassurance and support while helping every child participate as fully as possible.
Westfield is listed by Stoke-on-Trent's Local Offer and has achieved the SHINE award for inclusive learning environments.
Calm sensory support
Westfield shares access to a sensory room, creating opportunities for quieter experiences and additional sensory support where this benefits a child.
Working with families
Parents and carers know their child best. Sharing information, routines, concerns and progress helps nursery and home work together consistently.
Communication matters
Westfield provides additional support for children learning English as an additional language, helping children take part, communicate and build confidence.
Wider professional support
The nursery shares its site with a children's centre, helping families connect with wider professional support, including services such as speech and language therapy.
Don't just take
our word for it.
Choosing a nursery is a big decision. For many families, hearing from parents who have already made that decision can be one of the most reassuring places to start.
