My daughter loves this nursery, she comes everyday full of joy and with an open heart. Thank you, Willow Team for providing her a good care! She can be a picky eater, but always finishing most of her meals at Willow's, she loves messy play and always gets it in your day care. That means less of that
at home with Mommy ! Thank you!! They go for walks into the Farm often and get to interact in such a big open space, where they get to consume the energy constructively.
Highly recommend !

My son attends this nursery and I honestly couldn't be happier. The environment is warm, welcoming, and incredibly well-run. The staff are amazing-genuinely caring, patient, and dedicated to each child's individual needs. You can really see how much effort they put into creating a safe, fun, and nurturing
atmosphere every day. The management team is equally impressive. They are organised, approachable, and always communicate clearly with parents. Any questions or concerns are addressed quickly and professionally, which gives me so much confidence that my child is in great hands. Overall, this nursery has been an absolute blessing for our family, I recommend this to anyone looking for a nursery!
Special shout out to Beth, Sue, Amy, Lauren, Katie and Christiana! My son adores all of you and so happy he has such a great bond with each of you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter is a new joiner of the nursery and has completed the transition, now attending full days. The transition was excellent due to the guidance and participation of the wonderful staff. They are always calm, helpful and from what I have observed looking out for the child's best interests and
treating them all as individuals. At the end of each day I feel well informed of how my child has been, what she has eaten, what she has struggled with or enjoyed and although drop offs are still difficult as she wants me to stay, she is fine once I'm gone and I am confident that she enjoys the daycare and looks forward to going there again.

I am genuinely so impressed with Willows Farm Nursery. From the moment my daughter started there her care has been outstanding. From they way they handle the settling in, to the day to day care she now receives. The staff are always more than happy to speak to you and provide honest feedback and updates.
My daughter adores her key person and the other ladies in charge and working in the pre-toddler room. I can tell she feels so comfortable and safe with them and they are always in hand for a cuddle when she needs one! They really care about the individual child and make them feel special. The added bonus of being on a farm has been wonderful, daily trips to see the animals and experience the seasonal activities. I have also seen so many developments with my child's learning and feel so assured that she is being stimulated and encouraged to grow into a confident and happy little girl. She comes home babbling about her day! So grateful to them, truly wonderful, rounded nursery.

Brilliant nursery and pre school. Children genuinely happy, enjoy going and constantly busy and learning new things. Good communication with parents. Staff really approachable and caring, both to parents and children. Love that they get to regularly visit the farm during the week - sometimes twice a
day at preschool and getting to have different experiences whilst there (from feeding animals, sitting in the tractor, going on the little rides or going in the maze).

All three of my children have been cared for by the staff at Willows and I couldn't be happier, or recommend the nursery more! It's such a nurturing and happy environment. The staff are so caring and supportive, taking the time to really get to know each of my children-their strengths and challenges
and little quirks. In doing so, I have seen each one of my children flourish in confidence and happiness. It's so reassuring when leaving your children knowing they are truly being looked after and supported. The facilities are incomparable to any of the other nurseries we visited, only aiding in my children's development. I have nothing but good things to say about Willow's and I'm just so grateful to all the staff for taking such good care of my little ones. Thank you.

Willows have always been responsive, kind and caring toward our child. They ensure we recieve regular updates via their communication tool, and provide detailed handovers about their day on collections. They have always responded to any concerns or worries and taken time to ensure us as parents are
involved in our children's development throughout their time at nursery. Our child receives a wide variety of different nutritional meals, completes lots of different activities in and out doors and is learning new skills each week. The staff team are always smiling, approachable and communicative. Each child is allocated a key worker who provides additional communication to parents and focus on the child. It is wonderful. We wouldn't consider another nursery following our wonderful experience so far.

from Loredana M (Mother of Child) published on 12 November 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We've only been at the nursery for a month, but our first impression has been very positive. We were unsure about how our daughter would handle the move from a childminder to a larger nursery environment, but she's truly thriving day by day. She goes in happily every morning and comes home full of smiles.
She has a real soft spot for her key worker, who is caring, attentive, and in tune with her needs. Evie really understands how to support her development even in the small details, like helping her build confidence when socialising, which we know it will make a difference in future settings. The nursery's communication and regular updates help us feel connected and reassured as parents. Overall, it's been such a smooth and positive start, and I'll happily update this review in the future as our experience continues.

As a very anxious mother who struggles with trust and separation from her children, I honestly thought that I was really going to struggle going back to work from maternity leave. But I couldn't be more happier with my choice of childcare for my daughter. The nursery is beautifully presented with so
much to offer for all children's development. The staff treat my daughter with a kind and caring nature with a genuine interest in her well being and development. I honestly cant thank them enough for the contentment they have given me to go back to work. The nursery is well equipped and offers a clean welcoming environment with fun trips to the farm park included, which is an amazing perk of the nursery. In my experience every member of staff do their best to accommodate you & your child's needs.

Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
This nursery seems great at first with children being able to attend the farm but once you look past this aspect, you see the care and support is actually pitiful. On 2 occasions (my child's birthday & leaving day), they "forgot" to share his cake out with his friends, resulting in my child becoming
upset and crying which ruined his last day. They admitted this failing was due to poor staff communication. You don't get Regular updates on your child and their learning (their last update was provided 2.5 months ago via the app!) f2f updates only typically include the farm visit and what was consumed that day). Also there is a lack of structured play. They focus heavily on child-led free play which ultimately results in the children not actually learning vital skills. My child has left and recently attended a new preschool and is already focusing on practicing letter recognition, scissor skills, school readiness skills ect. Please think twice about sending your child here.

Barleylands Farm Day Nursery & Pre-School

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As a first time mum, I was dubious to send my son to nursery but had to return to work. I put my son in Barleylands when he was 11 months old - and he has done nothing but thrive since. Since attending Barleylands 4 days a week, he has learned to walk, say a few words and gain social skills from mixing
with the staff, other children and the animals on the daily trips to the farm!
During school holiday periods, my son is also privy to extra curricular activities, such as summer foam/UV parties, alongside entertainment that non nursery children have to pay for.
The app is frequently updated with details of his day such as nap times, nappy changing and feeding - with a breakdown of what he's eaten and quantity.
My son has extra needs as he is hard of hearing and wears hearing aids. The staff have been critical in his development adapting to his aids, having had training to ensure that they are fully equipped to deal with his needs.
I am very pleased with my choice to send my son here.

Our daughter has developed so much since starting in the baby room. She always has a great day. They encourage her to do things like crawling and have made so much progress. The staff are great and we meet to talk about the targets set to help her develop. They really have her best interests at heart.
Helping her be more independent and nurturing her capabilities. They regularly take the children to the soft play and to see the animals. Our Daughter loves it.
