We are really happy and feel confident sending our two sons to Willow Tree Nursery. Our oldest son started in 2022, and we have never had cause for concern. Both boys are welcomed into their respective rooms each morning by positive, smiling members of staff, and they both go in happily. The nursery
has also been great, putting on events for families which we have enjoyed.

possible to help my son settle into a new environment which wasn't an easy task ! The nursery have gone above and beyond. Accessing all the additional agencies and help my son has required .
They have have not only helped while hes in nursery but also supported and helped with our home life too, supported him with transitions and sleep
They met every one of his needs and if we feel something isn't working, a quick chat and we find new ways.
I can't thank the nursery enough for all the help they have given my son and continue to , and to now see the difference in him due to their help is amazing.

Little Acorns is a great nursery. All three of my children (who are all quite different!) have now attended, from one year old to school age, and they have all loved it. The staff are kind and friendly and really care about the children, taking time to get to know them as individuals. The nursery has
a lovely outdoor area and lots of different toys and materials for them to play with. There are lots of different activities for the children to try, including dance and French, and games for the older ones designed to get them to start recognising letters, strengthening their hands for writing and counting to get them ready for school. My two boys had a great transition to school as a result, and my daughter is so happy at Little Acorns, I'll be sad when she leaves!

Both of my girls have been with the nursery from 9 months old till, primary school for my eldest, and still currently attending for my pre-schooler. The setting has been the perfect balance of small and nurturing, yet large enough to ensure they have been able to develop great social skills and communication
skills with their peers. The staff are caring and have a genuine investment in your children. Sam and Katie are always flexible where they can be with managing the setting. Rosie is a fantastic room leader for the pre-schoolers, fostering a love of continuous provision and learning through play, ensuring a wonderful range of activities. My girls both love it there and Rosie ensures consistent communication with parents on our children's progress and their enjoyment.

This is a lovely nursery. It is convenient to get to, placed in a quiet village and has a secure garden for the little ones to play in. They organise different activities with children and listen to parent's requests. Staff care for the children and welcome them with a smile.

Little Acorns is an excellent nursery in a beautiful setting, with attentive and caring staff. Our children love going to nursery and we have seen Little Acorns massively support their development on all levels.
We get regular updates on how our children are doing, events for the children and parents
and regular opportunities to discuss concerns or areas of focus.
Overall no complaints at all and can thoroughly recommend Little Acorns to anyone.

Excellent care provided for my little boy who attends. All the staff are professional, polite and trustworthy. My little boy is always excited to attend nursery and is happy when he is collected at the end of the day. The nursery staff listen to and address his needs, for example allowing him to have
a nap in the afternoon. The nursery are keen to work on his development and update us on his progress daily or through the app.

What an incredible effort from all the staff for the Easter Fun Day! There were so many activities and treats on offer throughout the morning and it felt like no expense was spared for the children and adults. It was such a lovely, enjoyable day and it really felt like everyone was having the best time.
Thank you to all the staff and caregivers for putting on an amazing morning. Looking forward to the next one!

Wllow's is a fantastic nursery with great staff and facilities, I like the fact they interact with the parents with stay & play, etc. My son has developed so much since he has been coming here. Also, the teachers are very professional and fantastic with the children. My son is always excited to go in

The staff are very accommodating and caring. There are various activities being run throughout the week which are engaging and keep the children occupied. You can see the progression of your child(ren) month by month. The nursery takes feedback on-board, and keeps improving which is being reflected
in the recent improvement in the outside playing area. Overall satisfied and would recommend.

My 3-year old son has had a wonderful experience at Willow Tree Nursery in Mildenhall, where he has been since he was just 3 months old. From the very beginning the staff provided a warm, nurturing environment helping him grow and develop with confidence. He has built strong relationships with staff
and friends, enjoying a range of engaging activities that have fostered his love of learning the nursery caring approach has ensured he feels safe, happy and excited to attend each day.

My daughter has just started at Willow Tree Nursery, and we've had such a positive experience. I was very anxious about her starting, especially as she is so young, but the seedlings team has made us (both baby and parents) feel at ease. She already enjoys her days there and comes home with big smiles.
The staff are wonderful with her, and they got to understand her needs very quickly. A special shout out to her key worker. You are all amazing :)

Our son has been attending from the age of 10 months and is now nearly 4. We have sent our daughter here too and she has been going for nearly a year. They have taken her to see her brother is she is upset and they see each other in the large garden.
They are both very happy and have such special relationships
They are both very happy and have such special relationships

They give fantastic communication through the app. We are often messaging throughout the day. The management put a lot of effort into organising nativity, sports day and stay and play sessions for parents to attend.
We get a thorough handover and lots of artwork that they have produced.
My son loves the dance class with the lady who runs them they have in the preschool room. Really recommend.

Willow Tree Nursery is an exceptional childcare facility that truly stands out for its caring and professional approach. From the moment we step inside, you can feel the warmth and dedication that permeates the environment. The staff in the Baby Room are particularly remarkable - they are incredibly
nurturing, attentive, and make it clear how much they genuinely care for each child's well-being. They take the time to create a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment where babies can thrive, which is so important for the parents' peace of mind. The manager at Willow Tree Nursery deserves a special mention as well. Their leadership is evident in how smoothly the nursery operates and in the positive energy of the entire team. Overall, Willowtree Nursery provides an exceptional experience that gives parents confidence that their little ones are in the best possible hands.

My daughter started here full-time just after her 1st birthday. It's truly become the best second home a little girl could dream of, all the staff are fantastic, kind, funny, they care so much about all the kids and it shines through. She adores them all. There is a fantastic different selection of
toys, but again the staff come up with some of the most ridiculous but amazing activities. Constantly are updated with pictures, progress reports and what they have eaten, how long they have slept and how many nappies have been changed. I will forever be grateful to the Willow Tree management and staff. I looked round 5 other nurseries before I found Willow Tree and fell in love with it immediately. They also arrange, nativities, a Christmas party where Santa came, stay and play sessions for parents to see what their child or children get up to. The best outdoor space. If you want a homely, safe, loving environment, where staff and children are happy this is the place to go for.
