Willows Day Nursery (Aylesbury)

The staff are very friendly and helpful and the early years education is fantastic. Both children have progressed well socially and educationally and have been looked after very well.

I couldn’t recommend this nursery enough!

Brilliant nursery! Our son has enjoyed each and every moment he was there. It's a great team - gives individual attention to the needs of the child. Well organized with regular assessments, feedback and support. My son is generally a sweetheart, however there have been several days where he was clingy/cheeky/tantrum-y and they have always been patient and caring. Never felt difficult as a parent to leave him with them...always a delighted face on reaching his bumblebee room. It's a shame that we are relocating and have to take him out of this nursery. My son will badly miss his people.

My son is having a great time at Willows Day Nursery. He is being looked after really well. He enjoys all the activities at the nursery. I was really sceptical about him settling in well in the new atmosphere. But the transition has been smooth and heartwarming. Thankful to the team at Willows.

Communication is clear with the parent app and the weekly newsletters and the staff and the manager are always willing to help us with our queries anytime.

Willows children are happy, confident and most of all loved. We couldn't have asked for more.

Our daughter has been going to Willows for 3 months and has settled very well, The staff are friendly and professional. Out daughter loves going to nursery, she eats and sleeps well there. Her speech has improved greatly since going to Willos and she is more inquisitive and interested in playing with other children. We feel confident our daughter is being well cared for and would recommend Willos to any parent.

The staff is outstanding, careful and patient! I truly appreciate the help and support given.

My son has been at the nursery for a few years, he’s headed to school soon and we will really miss the nursery. The care has been exceptional! The staff are so lovely and the manager is quick to respond and support parents while being flexible.

We had our daughter for a couple of months at this nursery for two days a week but decided it was not the place for her. Some of the staff are very friendly and dedicated so I guess the experience can vary depending on who is the child’s key person, but I believe there is room for improvement for some of the staff when it comes to communication with parents, observing the child’s behaviour and reporting, as there is a platform available that can help even more communication with parents. We did have some posts but for the most part, they were published with massive delay (I would get a couple of posts in one day with what happened 3 weeks ago, two weeks ago, etc) and there was little variety in terms of activities (although there is a lot available in the room) The monthly learning stories were as well posted with a long delay, and included mostly excuses like “not yet settled in”, “was on holiday”, “English is her second language” etc and sometimes didn’t even have a learning story at all.

The staff are all very friendly and loving towards the children and you can tell they really care about them! My child has come on in leaps and bounds in all aspects- movement, eating, social skills etc. he is so happy there and always happy to see the staff! I am so happy with the nursery and feel 100% confident in their abilities and in knowing my child is safe in their care. The food is well balanced and varied and there are a wide range of activities that I’ve seen my child participate in!

I can't thank Willows Day Nursery enough for all they have done and continue to do for my daughters! They have surpassed all my expectations of what to expect in a nursery and my children are thriving in their environment. The staff are always so helpful, friendly and knowledgeable that I never worry about my children being in their care. After a difficult time at a precious nursery, my wife and I were worried about starting again but we are so glad we have found Willows and know this is an environment they will continue to benefit from until they start school.

Amazing nursery! Could have not chosen a better one. Everyone there is amazing and our son is very happy. They really focus on the happiness and development of the child and make sure the transition from staying at home with the parents to full-time there is done as smoothly as possible.

My daughter has had excellent care in the caterpillar room. Lovely staff and a great variety of activities.

Willows Day Nursery has been fantastic for the development and growth of our youngest child. He struggles more than some children the same age in certain areas but Willows have been amazing in adapting to his needs and allowing him to still be included in the preschool group. Special mention should go to his keyworker who has been brilliant in finding ways to help his integration and genuinely cares about him. Also in particular one of the nursery practitioners who is always so positive about our child. Positivity is so important for children with SEN needs. Thank you, Willows.

I would highly recommend and I am grateful for everything.

Both our girls are at Willows Day Nursery and they absolutely love it. They love going to nursery and are really happy there. They look forward to it every morning. We as parents are extremely pleased that our children are so well looked after and cared for and they feel that they belong to one big Willows family. Willows staff work so hard to ensure that they are happy and contented while encouraging lots of fun learning counting, reading, life skills and social skills.

The staff are excellent, so kind and caring and it is clear our son loves coming into the nursery. Activities set up follow children's interests and help to progress their learning. We could not be happier to have our son at Willows Day Nursery.

My little boy has attended Willows since 2018 and is now ready to move on to school. It has been such a lovely place for him to learn and grow. We couldn't have asked for a better experience! The staff are all lovely and the relationships we have built along the way with his key workers have been caring and personal. I would have never been able to teach him as much as he has learnt to date and I am confident that his experience at Willows Day Nursery will allow him the brightest start when he starts school in September. I would highly recommend it! If it wasn't for our house move our youngest would have definitely enrolled here as well. I am so grateful for all the safe hands and warm hearts that have helped me raise a gentle, loving and confident little boy.

Willows Day Nursery is a great nursery, both my children attend the nursery and love coming. Staff are always welcoming and are very good at keeping us up to date with what our children are doing. The children do a wide variety of activities and have good relationships with their key workers.
