My daughter has been attending Forest Barn since May, she is absolutely thriving. The staff are so lovely and the communication throughout the day is fantastic. The range of activities the children take part in keep her busy, she is safe, taken care of and gives me the peace of mind, knowing she's in
excellent hands! Thank you all

My little girl has been coming here since 9 months old and absolutely loves it. The staff are so accommodating and approachable. Communication is really good too as is the app that is used to show you what your child has been up to during the day.

I have had my daughter , and now my son at Forest Barn, he's been attending since he was 1 year old. The staff is amazing and commendable for the level of care, passion and knowledge. Any issue is addressed swiftly and constructively. They have also created a parents forum, where parents are encouraged
to provide regular feedback for improvements. I would definitely recommend and class this as one of the best nurseries in the area.

I am beyond happy with my son attending willow tree nursery, All the staff take the time to get to know each child individually, always saying hello when passing and are all extremely helpful. The nursery is very clean, offer homemade nutritious meals and snacks and I feel very safe with the security
with my child being there. My son is awaiting diagnosis for ASD and SPD and the nursery have been absolutely amazing with him they have a SENCO lady who helps him achieve specific milestones along with his key worker and other room assistants. They are extremely good and patient with him and always trying new things to help him explore and learn as much as possible to his ability. It's all about fun with this nursery and my son loves going. I would always highly recommend this nursery it has been the best thing for my sons development and I can't thank them all enough.

My daughter loves Willow Tree Nursery School. She is always so excited when I pick her to tell me everything she has done.
The staff have been brilliant working with me and potty training my daughter.
They provide great food, my daughter eats better at nursery than for me.

Since my daughter started at Willow Tree Nursery School in October 2024, I have felt so happy and relaxed to be dropping her off at such a beautiful, caring, clean, loving, home-from-home and 10/10 nursery. I haven't had the pleasure of meeting all of the staff as of yet, but in passing the ones who
I do not know have always said hello/goodbye and were polite. The ladies in my daughter's room, have made me and my daughter feel so comfortable and at ease from the very beginning. Their passion for their work thrives through their personalities and I always know that my daughter is in the safest of hands. I cannot wait to continue to watch my daughter grow at Willow Tree until she leaves for school and thank you all for all your dedication.

I enrolled my son when he turned 3, and he has very quickly changed from a shy and timid boy to one full of curiosity and adventure since joining Willow Tree Nursery School.
Every single team member of his room has been so welcoming to him, and I love how his class feels personal and family-orientated.

I love how we get regular daily updates, the communication is outstanding.
My son is thriving in a sense of creativity and education, he is learning new things all the time and comes home singing new songs.
I can't wait to send my youngest when he's ready.

I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough, both of my boys have been to this nursery and although there are other childcare options closer to us I have chosen to keep my child in this setting because of the fantastic care, wonderful family feel and love shown to my children by all the staff. Always
supportive, always flexible, always look after the parents as well as the child! My children have both always had a fantastic time, doing a range of activities always something new to explore and adventure!

My daughter started at Forest Barn in August 2024, when she was 11 months old. She's now moving from the baby room to the toddlers and we couldn't be happier with the experience of Forest Barn so far I viewed 12 nurseries before I found Forest Barn and knew it was the one as soon as I walked in. My
daughter is so happy here, she gets excited to go in the mornings and will get her nursery bag and wait by the front door to leave! As soon as she sees the staff she puts her hands out to go to them and has the biggest smile on her face
The staff are amazing and all so lovely, they update you regularly on the app and upload lovely photos, which gives you peace of mind knowing your child is so well cared for. My brother and 2 of my friends have even signed their children up for Forest Barn after viewing it and I didn't hesitate in signing my soon to be new arrival up as soon as I found out I was pregnant. Thank you everyone at Forest Barn!

Great nursery for our 3 years old, helping us grow and develop all the skills needed. The staff and management are very helpful and caring, posting updates and observations for the daily routine and activities. Our little one seems to enjoy it in there and that's says it all.

My 2 year old daughter attends this nursery 3 days a week and absolutely loves it, from dropping off to picking up she is grinning ear to ear. The staff are lovely and caring and make you feel at ease when first dropping your little one off. The activities my child gets up to throughout the week are
varied and really challenge her learning and social skills. 100% would recommend this nursery to any new families looking for a recommendation.

There is minimal turnover in staff which I feel helps greatly with this.
The staff care about the children, they are always thinking
of fun activities and themed days/weeks to keep the children engaged.
The only negative is the parking situation, which can lead to quite a stressful & rushed drop-off/pickup. Hopefully, something can be done about this.
Overall, my kids are really happy and never complain about going to nursery- and come out happy every day. What more can you ask for?
