Little People of Willow Vale

They truly see and support each individual child at Willow Vale and the activities they participate in are wonderfully diverse. Coach Dave for Friday Football is an absolute highlight.

Both my children started in the babyroom and progressed to the Montessori garden and they've enjoyed their entire time (the Montessori class has a 'graduation' ceremony to celebrate their time at nursery before they progress to a school nursery or reception). The staff are great and fantastic with the children and I look forward to seeing pictures of their activities on the app. Highly recommend!

We've sent both our kids to Willow Vale and have nothing but positive things to say. The staff are lovely: always greeting the kids with very warm welcome in the mornings and it is clear they are very invested in the children. Mine genuinely love Willow vale. The baby room staff are so nurturing, and the Montessori teachers are fantastic. My son especially loves the activities which include weekly woodwork, gardening and dance. There is regular parent engagement and days such as sports days, mothers and Father's Day, Christmas, which allows you to meet other parents.The nursery also makes an effort to celebrate different events including Eid, Kurdish new year (to name a couple). There's an app to see how the kids have been getting on (food, sleep, activities) and there is somewhere to leave your pram, which is fantastic. The managers are great and very responsive. The outside space is relatively small (it's central London!) but facilities still great and they make good use of the space

There is an app which is a little slow, but pictures and videos are uploaded as well as what was eaten and how much they slept. I am very happy with this nursery, and my daughter loves it.

My baby has been at Little People of Willow Vale for 3 months and as a first-time parent I was so scared and nervous to leave her with anyone, let alone people we didn't know. We saw so many nurseries and none of them really filled us with confidence, apart from Little People. They have been incredible, she's happier there than at home I think, she loves it so much and cannot wait to get there in the mornings to see two staff members who are especially special. I owe them so much, they make her and us so happy. One of these staff members in particular is so warm and kind and our baby adores her. All the staff are amazing but we are so grateful to these two staff members especially. Thank you.

Lovely nursery. Wonderful staff who are all exceptionally warm and friendly. My daughter is very happy there. The care is very good overall. They do lots of nice activities with her that I would never do at home. Very pleased to have chosen Little People for her!

An excellent nursery where the staff really care. My child loves going to nursery and has a close bond with her teachers and friends. She has been attending since the age of 1. She is now 3 and has developed so much in confidence and ability. I would highly recommend this nursery and we are sad to be leaving.

Thank you, Willow Vale, you deserve all the praise!

We have two girls at Willow Vale - one started two years ago in the toddler room and one a year later in the baby room. We couldn't be happier with the care. Our girls absolutely love it - they are very loved there and also seem to be learning lots. It's a fantastic place full of long-standing and incredibly dedicated staff.

I couldn't recommend it more! As a first-time mum, I was doubting about getting my daughter at a nursery and after visiting quite a few nurseries around my area, Little People was the one that made me feel confident. The staff is the best of all it. They are always happy, full of energy, and they really know what your baby/toddler has been up to during the day, when you pick your little one up they give you a small summary of the day for your child. You also have an app where they report every day the things your baby is doing and you can see pictures of the activities. Great communication with the parents and also parents meetings to give you a solid report about what your kid is learning, discovering, exploring, playing, etc. Their favourite activities and games! Is a very good Nursery, very happy with it!

Our 2-year-old son started Willow Vale a year and a half ago and has truly loved every second as have we as parents. The team provide an amazingly caring experience for the children while making sure that parents are kept up to date on all milestones and areas for development. I can confidentially say that this approach goes for both the baby and toddler rooms as well as Montessori which my son has recently moved to. We feel super lucky to have found Willow Vale and would highly recommend it to any parents looking for a new nursery for their little one.

We couldn't be happier with Little People of Willow Vale. We have two children attending the nursery, one in the baby room and one in Montessori having started in the toddler room, so we can attest to the consistently high level of care and professionalism throughout. The staff are tireless in their energy and enthusiasm - both our children have formed strong bonds with their key workers and our eldest talks about them endlessly at home. They come home well-fed and exhausted, buzzing from all the things they have done that day. The nursery is a warm, fun, caring and educationally rich environment, teaching them everything we could hope for, as well as supporting their emotional and social development in all the right ways. Little People is a real community of happy children and people who really care about their work. It is impossible to adequately express in a review how valuable their hard work and dedication is to our lives, and the lives of both our children.

The menu is also really good and we are pleased with our son's progress.

Amazing nursery. Our lives (both family and working) couldn’t function without five staff members in particular. Amazing people, not staff! Our baby is so happy, confident and curious. Couldn’t be more grateful. Great place, highly recommend it.

Our son has been at Willow Vale since he was nine months old. He immediately settled well because the staff are so welcoming and engaging. It is easy to see that the staff care about the children and treat them like family. Additionally, we love seeing pictures of him playing throughout the day and receiving updates via the app regarding his learning progress. Our son had attended another nursery prior, which pales in comparison. Willow Vale is full of joy and life, and our family are very happy.

Our baby started at Little People in September 2022 when I returned to work full-time. She was 11 months at the time of starting and was two months premature when born, so I was nervous about her attending nursery as she was so much smaller than everyone else. I needn’t have worried. She loves the nursery, squeals with delight when we drop her off, and to be honest, seems a bit upset when we turn up to take her home. She really enjoys it. Loves singing and books (can't get enough of books) her movement, feeding and talking have all really come along. The staff in the baby room are beloved in our house. I had a very stressful birth and suffered PTSD as a result of a long hospitalisation with the baby in Nicu, but Little People have really helped with my return to work transition knowing how happy my baby is to be there!

My child has been going to Little People of Willow Vale since she was two, and all the staff are very helpful and kind, giving us lots of suggestions when my child feels a bit emotional when we drop her off. The staff keeps updating us about my child's learning progress and daily routine, so we understand more about her life in the nursery. We are very happy that she's grown a lot after joining Little People; she tells us what she did in the nursery. She enjoys circle time, playtimes in the garden, healthy food and playtime with her friends. We highly recommend this nursery to everyone.

My daughter started at the nursery when she was 3. We were slightly nervous, as up to that point, she had only been looked after at home, and had never spent a day away from us in a room full of other children.

Within hours of her first day at Willow Vale, all our nerves evaporated. Thanks to the warm, familial atmosphere, the friendly, attentive staff, and the intimate, stimulating environment, our daughter settled in immediately. Now she actively looks forward to going into nursery every day, and always is excited to tell us all the things she did when we pick her up. She has made very good friends with the other children, and developed a super close bond with the teachers.

We would highly recommend the nursery to any other parents.

Our son has been at the nursery since 11 months, and from the get go the nursery have been excellent. They had a well organised settling in period, and it took almost no time for the staff to make our son feel at home. Always welcoming us with a big smile in the mornings; they deliver a variety of activities with plenty of photos available to document the children's days.

My son started at Little People of Willow Vale just before his 1st birthday and I couldn't recommend this nursery more. The staff are incredibly nurturing and caring and whilst I found the transition difficult I always knew he was in safe hands. He settled in fairly quickly and it's so lovely to now see his relationship with his teachers. The activities are always imaginative and varied and the food is great with lots of options. I would highly recommend this nursery
