We love sending our son to Willows, he has so much fun there, visiting the farm and soft play nearly every day. He gets lots of outdoor time, which is important to us. It's been wonderful seeing him blossom and grow in confidence. All thanks to the warm & caring staff. We couldn't ask for a better nursery!

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 !

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

Wonderful nursery to send your child to. Mine is so happy there that he doesn't even look back once he walks in the door. All the staff are lovely and caring. The rooms and the kids are all clean (no snotty noses being smeared all over the place). I Especially love how they're taken to the farm to see
the animals and enjoy walks in nature. I am so happy that I found willows

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.

Both my son's attend Willows Farm day nursery & pre school and they Absolutely loves it, I can't express enough how good the toddler room staff are with all the children, and a very big thank you to my son's previous Key Worker Amy along side the support of Lauren, Sue, Beth, Katie & Christana. You
guys made his experience the best. ( we both miss you) now he has moved up to pre- school and once again the ladies are lovely. My Second child just started in the baby room and all the ladies looking after the little ones are also fantastic, nothing is ever too much, and you can see and feel how much they all care for each individual child. When I first viewed the nursery, I could straight away feel the warm welcome, and I knew there was no other nursery I would rather send my kids too. The activities they complete on a daily/ weekly basis has really paid off in terms of development. I would highly recommend any parent.

Very pleased with the nursery and preschool. My son loves it, although it sometimes takes a while for him to go in in the morning (because he's so attached to me), he has a great time when he's there. The staff always have patience with him and make him feel at ease to help him go through the door.
Overall we're very pleased with the preschool, and going to the farm is a great bonus.
