Phoenix Park Nursery Nuthall
from Georgia F (Mother of Child) published on 3 November 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My little one has come on so much since starting nursery.
Everyone told us how we need 2 children so they can learn from each other, but honestly I cannot believe how much he's learning from just nursery.
He's singing songs and getting involved and you can see how happy it makes him.
The staff are so

caring towards him and I'm always kept up to date with everything I need to know or if something isn't right.
I cannot recommend this nursery enough

The Willows Preschool
from Gemma A (Mother of Child) published on 30 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My son moved up to the Willows preschool in September, and in the short time he's been attending, we've been absolutely blown away by our experience. The staff are phenomenal - their welcoming and bubbly nature is so comforting, and my son settled in instantly without a single tear. The facilities,

both indoors and outdoors, are fantastic. We love that all of our son's favourite activities are available for him to enjoy - from playing in the mud kitchen and experimenting at the potion table to climbing and balancing on the stepping stones.

Our son has several allergies, and the way the staff have handled them has been impeccable. The variety of food offered is brilliant, and he always clears his plate. What I value most is the wonderfully homely atmosphere - it radiates warmth and acceptance. This has allowed my son to feel secure and confident to be himself.
I am extremely happy the my boy gets to attend such a fantastic preschool with incredible staff.

from R C (Mother of Child) published on 27 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My daughter started at Phoenix Park when she was 10 months old in June 2025 and from her first day she has been so happy there! When I took her for her settling in sessions and saw how attentive the staff were towards the children and how the children were so comfortable with them it assured me I had

definitely picked the right nursery! Every day at drop off my daughter is so happy and puts her arms out to go to the girls in the baby room. The app has been great to see updates throughout the day and to message the staff - nothing is too much for them! I can't speak highly enough of the girls working in babies, they are all so lovely and you can see that they treat the children like their own which is so reassuring as a mum going back to work after spending 24/7 with your baby for several months! I'd recommend Phoenix park to anyone and I think my daughter will be sad to leave the girls in babies when she eventually moves rooms!

Overall Experience

I have bought both of my daughters to this nursery. They both have special needs and the nursery have worked very closely with them and myself. I can't fault anything that they have done. They've been absolutely amazing with both children. They've given myself and my family the support I needed and

they've gone above and beyond to ensure that the right procedures have been put into place for their schools. Every member of staff are very well trained and I put all my trust into them. I get excellent feedback every day and I could tell a massive difference within my daughter's developmental progression. I recommend this nursery to all of my friends as it is fairly small. Staff are very on board. I've created a great relationship with all the staff and you can see how passionate they are about their job overall a perfect nursery.

Overall Experience

Let's just start by saying that my son absolutely loves going here! From his first visit he was asking to go back.
The staff are great with him, always positive and set up some lovely activities daily. His confidence had grown not that he was shy to begin with but I think thats down to the staff

being reassuring and calm when it comes to letting him express his interests.
Since the change in ownership I really feel as though management really care about each and every child and parents experience as well as wellbeing. Where as before it was if your face fit.
I enjoy getting daily updates on the activities he's taking part in as well as the feedback we get face to face at the end of the day too.
Overall as long as my boy is happy im happy and trust me he's very happy there. Would recommend.

Overall Experience

This nursery has been the best nursery for my child, it has brought her on leaps and bounds especially with her confidence, there was a period of time though where they had different members of staff in every time we went in but overall all the staff are amazing so friendly and welcoming my child has

loved being at this nursery, if I've ever needed any help with anything their always happy to help. It's very formal and everything always gets logged, information always gets passed on correctly, I'd 100% recommend this nursery, it's also in a great location.

Poplars Blossoms Nursery School
from S A (Father of Child) published on 5 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Our little boy started nursery earlier this year the staff have been amazing esspecially managing his allergies.
He has several care plans in place that are displayed for all staff. They always make sure he's included by having dairy free and egg free options for him which means he never feels left

out. The nursery being completely nut-free is also a huge bonus because he carries an epipen for a peanut allergy.
The nursery keep 2 epipens of his with his other medications for allergies which means we don't need to bring his epipen bag every day.
He also has random skin reactions with unknown triggers. The manager put another care plan in place and keep his medication safely should it be needed.
They have recently redecorated and its got a very calming vibe which is great.

Overall Experience

Long term members of The Willows Preschool family (formerly Poplars) and would really recommend as a home from home environment for the children.
Lovely staff, many who have been there a number of years.
Recently there has been some renovations and updates, which have really given the building a fresh

new look, especially the outside area which the children love. Wonderful Preschool!

from Serena W (Mother of Child) published on 31 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My little boy joined the nursery in September 2024. I visited several nurseries around the area ,before I found poplars, and non of them felt like the right place for my son.
From the minute I visited poplars, I knew that this was somewhere that I would feel comfortable and confident in giving my

child the best care, when he's away from home.
The staff are fantastic, they are all so warm and friendly and have such a positive impact on my son's development. I couldn't recommend the nursery enough!

Review of
Poplars Blossoms Nursery School
from Gemma A (Mother of Child) published on 24 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My son started at the beginning of the year, and I'll be honest-I wasn't ready. Up until that point, I'd never left him with anyone other than his dad, so starting nursery was a huge adjustment for both of us. From day 1, the staff have been absolutely incredible-not just with my son, but with me too,

especially as I can be quite a worrier. My son initially found it difficult to be apart from me, which we expected, but it didn't take long before he began looking forward to nursery days. The patience, love, and genuine passion the team brings is far beyond what you'd expect. It's not just a job to them-you can see it in their excitement when the children reach milestones and in the sincere cuddles they give when someone's hurt. They've become such important people in my son's life, and for that, I'm incredibly thankful. Poplars has always had a fantastic reputation, but it has exceeded every expectation. I'm truly grateful they have been such a meaningful part of my sons journey so far.

Overall Experience

My son has been going to poplars for around 9 months now and he loves it, on pick up he never wants to leave! The staff are great, really friendly, caring and approachable. The bond between my son and his key workers is amazing! Poplars has had alot of building upgrades lately which have made the inside

area more open, bright and welcoming. The outside area is good but could be better, however I believe due to be upgraded soon.

from R N (Mother of Child) published on 22 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Poplars Blossoms Nursery School is a wonderful nursery and I feel assured that my daughter will be happy and safe when I drop her off before work.
The staff are all wonderful and are enthusiastic at the end of the day to discuss your child and their achievements. They are always approachable to discuss

any concerns. I am impressed with how my daughter's development has progressed since starting at Poplars Blossoms and feel that this is in part due to the holistic activities planned by nursery staff; often taking inspiration from recent experiences of the children.
My daughter loves her meals at nursery. A four week menu provides a variety of balanced meals.
The recent renovations to the nursery provide a comfortable environment with many new toys to support the children's development.
This summer the children are regularly in the garden; older children enjoying play equipment, whilst the babies have a rug to explore on.
Thank you to everyone at Poplars Nursery School.

Overall Experience

We have had nothing but top-tier experiences with Poplars Blossoms - I cannot recommend them enough! As a first-time mum, I was so nervous to put my daughter into nursery. The lovely team in the Acorns room put us at ease straight away from our daughter's first settling-in day (and continue to do so

6 months later). It's been a joy to see our daughter create such positive relationships with the nursery team and the other children. We love the activities they offer and feel they've helped develop our daughter into such a confident and sociable little girl! Thank you Poplars Blossoms!

Overall Experience

I have a child attending now and also had a child attending 2021-2024. I liked the nursery before but I absolutely LOVE it now. The nursery since being took over is absolutely beautiful and I love the approach. I love that there is an app to tell you everything from what they've had for lunch to how

many toilet visits and even when sun cream is applied.

Big thanks to to members of staff too as my little girl has really gravitated towards them

Would 110% recommend!

from Hollie C (Mother of Child) published on 21 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Not only has this nursery invested heavily in the environment and furniture but they have created a sense of calm and safety. From the minute you walk in its clear how much the staff love the children and there is no performance put on. The staff can tell you specific things about your children which

I find amazing considering how many there are. They also go out of the way to remember your name as a parent. Even though there is a comprehensive app detailing what your children had done and eaten they always take the time to talk to each and every parent. I will admit I was hesitant when I heard Poplars was going from a family run business to a chain but this is not the feel you get. The managers have absolutely maintained the family feel and it's a beautiful place to go. I couldn't have wished for a better environment for my son to learn in and the staff are beyond wonderful.

Thank you so much for your review, it is wonderful to hear the hard work the Manager, Deputy and staff team are putting in, is paying off

Overall Experience

My child has been with the nursery since January 2025. At first he was inconsolable and leaving him was heartbreaking.
Within a few weeks, he was running through the door beaming at the staff! Found all staff to be warm, welcoming and approachable.
His social skills and speech have come on heaps

and he's a very happy, funny little boy.
