About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- Working parents of children aged 9 months to 2 years can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery stretches funded hours across 52 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 52 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 21.9 hours are covered each week. Hours beyond this, including the early and late parts of the day, are charged at the standard rate.
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

the Willows team make our daughter feel so welcome and supported. The caterpillars team went above and beyond to reassure us, keeping us updated and making the transition as smooth as possible for our daughter. Every member of the team is kind, approachable and genuinely invested in the children's wellbeing and development. We feel completely confident leaving our daughter in their care knowing how much she enjoys being there.
Thank you to everyone for making such a positive impact on our daughter's early years. We couldn't recommend the nursery highly enough.

Went in for a Father's Day morning in the amazing forest area they have for the kids. Had a great time being shown around by my child and seeing what he's been talking about at home. The facilities Willows has to offer for the kids is fantastic and the staff are brilliant on all aspects. This is our second time at willows after our first went here and both times have been a great experience from our kids perspective and from ours. Thankyou to everyone and to anyone looking at coming to Willows I highly recommend them.
Great General Experience, staff always supportive and welcoming, bond really well with our daughter and the staff in caterpillars regularly send updates and respond to any questions quickly ! We have had no issues

After 6 and a half years we are almost at the end of our journey with Willows and I'm not ready to say goodbye. The nursery and all of their staff have given my two girls the most wonderful start in life and have cared so deeply for them. I knew we had picked the right nursery the day I walked in to look around - I could just feel this was going to be the warm, nurturing environment that would help my girls grow and learn and they have both thrived at nursery. The staff work so hard and every single one of them go over and above and provide wonderful care. The food is wonderful and I often walk in to the delicious smells and wish I was having some! The cooks there do a fantastic job. One of the things that sets this nursery apart is the wonderful forest school they have. Not many local nurseries have them and my daughters both absolutely loved their time in forest school and it really enriches their experiences playing in nature. Thank you Willows for 6 and a half wonderful years
My twin boys have attended Willows since they were 9 months old and from day 1 the boys have loved attending nursery. The environment is calm & clean. All the staff genuinely care about the children and give 100% to ensuring that the children's individual needs are met, whilst providing plentiful...
Staff remain consistent, my boys were fortunate to have one of their favourite room leaders Lisa, follow them through the different age range rooms, for most of the past two years.
Having experienced other local nursery & preschool, I always recommend Willows!
I have two boys, and I have sent them both to Willows Day Nursery in Stoke Mandeville. My 5 year old now goes to school and is thriving and I have no doubt it's because of the amazing start he got at this nursery. My youngest who is soon to be 3 is having the same amazing experience there, despite...
Every member of staff is amazing, they work so hard, create such beautiful relationships with the children and make it so easy to have peace of mind that your children are well cared for. I love this nursery and will be very sad when my youngest leaves, and I have no reason to go there! It is worth every penny in my eyes!

My son has attended Willows Day Nursery since he was 9 months old, and we have been so happy with our experience. He really enjoys going each day and has formed wonderful bonds with his key carers throughout his time there. The staff are caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in the children's development. They also cater very well for dietary requirements and are always happy to accommodate individual needs when required, which gives us great peace of mind. He enjoys his time there so much that some days he doesn't even want to come home, which says it all. We feel very reassured knowing he is happy, settled, and well cared for.
Our daughter, now 3, has been attending Willows since she was 12 months old. Both her and we absolutely love the setting. Overall, the nursery and staff are fantastic. The children often do enrichment activities and exciting learning through play. The older children in the Pre School and Butterfly...
I was nervous about sending my daughter to nursery, but our experience of Willows and the team has been excellent. I thoroughly recommend the setting and have already put our son's name down to attend once I return to work.

Lovely nursery and staff. Our little girl has been attending for 2 years now and she's so much more confident. She's grown a lot and continues to surprise us with certain things she's learned from the nursery setting

We are so impressed and happy with how well our son is doing in nursery. He was a reserved little boy who has absolutely blossomed in Willows and has developed lovely relationships with the staff as well as friendships with his peers. It is a hard decision choosing the right nursery and you put huge trust in the adults caring for your precious child, but I have never doubted the commitment, care, kindness and expertise of the staff at willows.

We couldn't be happier with Willows Day Nursery and the care they provide for our son. The staff are incredibly kind, patient, and genuinely invested in each child's development. From day one, they've made him feel safe, supported, and excited to learn. We've seen such a positive change in his confidence, social skills, and curiosity since starting here. Communication with parents is excellent, and it's clear how much thought and care goes into the activities and routines. Knowing our son is happy and well cared for every day gives us complete peace of mind. We're so grateful to the whole team at Willows and would highly recommend them to any parent.

Willows Day Nursery has been THE best choice my wife and I could have made for our little girl. Every single member of staff there, from management, to practitioners, to canteen staff and everyone in between, has been incredible to our little girl. From our first visit day, where many staff members greeted us by name, to settling in sessions which guided our girl to life at Willows, to the time she has attended the nursery, it has been nothing short of exceptional. The care and love every single staff member shows to the kids is unmatched, and they genuinely do care for the children as if they were their own. The staff go out of their way to help the children develop by painting, reading, guiding, and going the extra mile by learning words from native languages, taking an interest in the child's home life in order to make them feel more welcome at nursery, and providing extremely detailed and reassuring updates on the app. I'd give stars if I could.
I can't speak highly enough of this nursery! The staff are amazing! so kind, caring, and attentive to my son. From the very first day, they made my son feel comfortable and supported. The settle-in sessions were carefully timed each week before his start, and since starting full-time time he has...
I can't speak highly enough of this nursery! The staff are amazing! so kind, caring, and attentive to my son. From the very first day, they made my son feel comfortable and supported. The settle-in sessions were carefully timed each week before his start, and since starting full-time time he has settled in so well! In just a few weeks, I've already seen such so much progress in his speech and language. I'm so grateful for the positive impact they've had on my son, and I couldn't have chosen a better place for him to learn.
He's able to play and learn indoors and outdoors at his choosing, which he really enjoys as he is a very active boy. The key workers are fantastic; they set regular goals to help him reach his milestones and coordinate all goals with home life.
A huge thank you to all the staff!
My daughter started at Willows in September, and the nursery has been absolutely amazing in helping her settle in. I was really anxious about her starting nursery, but she has settled so well thanks to the wonderful staff. Everyone is so warm, welcoming, and caring, and I'm so glad I chose Willows....

A very special thanks to the team leader of bumblebees and now in ladybirds and her calm, kind and proactive approach has definitely been paramount in making my daughter's experience a lovely one.
My youngest daughter is just about to start the nursery in September and I am very positive that her time at Willows will be just as fantastic.Thank you all for everything you do!
Our son has been going to the Willows Day Nursery for the past 4 years and loves it there! He has made some great friends and will be sad to leave in September. The staff are very caring and keep him engaged in many activities throughout the day!

Willows Day nursery has been nothing but fantastic. The staff are absolutely amazing and they always go above and beyond for the children in their care. They are very passionate and very helpful. My son has absolutely thrived since attending this nursery and I have already registered to send my daughter too. They offer so many different activities for the children, they offer healthy fresh meals daily and they are always there to give a detailed handover at the end of the session. They are such a lovely bunch of supportive individuals and myself and my son will miss them dearly. My child has progressed so much with the help of this nursery and I just know he will miss it so much. The senco is fabulous as well. I am so thankful to them for taking such good care of my son and would definitely recommend them.
