June 6, 2018 at 12:00 amWillow is a fabulous nursery. The settling-in process for my, then 9 month old, was brilliant (better than other nurseries) and the staff are caring, nurturing and knowledgeable. My son loves nursery, and we feel really assured that he’s getting excellent care when he’s there. The staff have dealt with dietary intolerances really well and he has good well-balanced and nutritious food every day. The setting is spacious and we love how calm it feels inside, whilst still being homely. My son loves the outdoor space which is newly refurbished and has lots of experiences for him to enjoy. As a Mum, I’m also given lots of reassurance and support by staff which has helped me settle back into work. Would definitely recommend.

September 3, 2018 at 12:00 amI was terrified before my son started nursery. He’d previously had a really bad experience at a different playgroup so we were both nervous and apprehensive. When he did his first few days the staff were lovely and put me at ease immediately. My son loved it and made friends immediately and I got on brilliant with all the staff they are all friendly and welcoming and there were tears on the last day of term from them & me. My younger son starts next week he has autism and we tried last term but he wasn’t ready but again the staff are fab and have been really patient and understanding and have kept his place available to try him again this term. My older son misses all his friends and his teachers especially his keyworker. I can’t recommend this nursery enough the staff are fun and creative and develop real bonds with the children. You can see they care and my son learnt so much from them. I couldn’t have chosen a better nursery for my son to begin his journey into education
