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.

Before my grandson started nursery, we were all apprehensive and worried as there are very horrid stories about nurseries. We decided to try Willow Day Nursery and we now know we made the right choice. My grandson has thrived and seems happy. He has learnt so much. He comes home happy every night...
Staff at Willows are fantastic. They are warm and welcoming. When I collect my grandson, they always give me a report of the day, even the tiniest detail.
Food must be good at Willows as my grandson seems to enjoy it.
Reception staff are also very pleasant. They always say hello/goodbye.

My daughter has been attending Willows from 17 months old to 3.5 years. She has been in three different rooms including most recently, preschool. Every member of staff have been very helpful, caring and she has really flourished in this environment. The communication is great and all the nursery staff take a keen interest in every child. My daughter has loved coming and we have never had an issue leaving her in a really safe and caring environment. I would not hesitate to recommend Willows to others. I only wish she could stay longer had we not been moving areas.

I am an Aunty to a child who attends Willows Day Nursery Aylesbury and shes in the Caterpillar room. Since attending nursery she has gained a lot of confidence and is developing well in the areas of the EYFS. When I come to collect her she is always happy and is always enjoying the activities that they have out. I fully recommend this nursery to parents who are looking to put their children into a childcare setting.

It was so nice to have faith and trust in the staff and facilities from the very beginning.
We pick our two daughters up at the end of the day and they have been encouraged to have fun, play kindly and learn. And it's all achieved in a caring environment.

I cannot fault this nursery; the staff are invested in the children which is made clear by the loving and meaningful bonds my daughter has formed with the staff in her room. I have such peace of mind that all of my daughter’s needs are met daily; she is loved, kept safe, educationally engaged and developed, and is provided with a variety of nutritious meals. I could not be happier with the service this nursery provides and with the way my normally shy and clingy baby happily waves goodbye to me each morning; confirmation that she feels secure.

My daughter started nursery 11 months ago and choosing Willows was the best decision I have made. She has made great progress, enjoys going and really loves the staff which makes leaving her there comforting knowing she's well looked after. My daughter definitely likes the food and the variety is fantastic. Her day is filled with a variety of activities which has greatly helped her development. I definitely made the best choice for my daughter and myself by sending her to this particular nursery as my mind is at rest knowing she's well cared for whilst I'm at work.

My son attended Willows Day Nursery from 8 months to four years old. He has just started school as a happy, confident, kind little boy who is excited about learning. This is thanks to the excellent provision at Willows. The care and attention from staff have been second to none and the preschool team have gone above and beyond to make sure he is school ready. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
We could not have asked for more from the entire team these past 4 years.

I would highly recommend Willows. They're fantastic.

The staff are always incredibly professional and very caring.

Willows Day Nursery is a fantastic nursery, full of love and care for children, with wonderful staff and great facilities. From the moment you walk in the door, you are greeted by friendly faces, no matter what time of day! I don't know how they do it! All staff are friendly, caring and patient with the children and extremely helpful and supportive of our wishes as parents, working alongside us with anything we may need support with. Our little girl loves going to nursery and we only wish we could send her for more days of the week! She has grown so much since being at Willows and it is lovely to see her ongoing development and enjoyment being there with all the other children. We particularly love the garden as she loves being outdoors, it has so much to fun to offer, whilst being totally safe, not overlooked and secure. Huge thanks from us to all at Willows, we think you do an amazing job, daily!

I've not had any concerns over my child's happiness and safety when he's there and he has made significant bonds with his carers.

My daughter always seems happy when I pick her up and from the regular observations we receive, it looks like she has lots of fun during day and has settled in so well.
My son has been going to this nursery since about August 2018 and has come on leaps and bounds since he started. Most weeks he comes home and surprises me with something new he has learnt, like writing his name, which I never knew he could do. He is more than happy to go to nursery and often...
Management have frequently gone out of their way to help me out with sessions when my daughter has been very poorly, which I can’t thank them enough for.
I have no hesitations in recommending the nursery to other parents and will be sending my daughter here to after maternity leave. One very happy mummy.
I was so pleased when my daughter managed to get a place here and they were very reassuring and comforting as I'd never left my daughter anywhere before.

I was so pleased when my daughter managed to get a place here and they were very reassuring and comforting as I'd never left my daughter anywhere before.
All members of staff were and continue to be friendly, professional and amazing with all the children that I see. My daughter overcame her separation anxiety with lots of support from the lovely staff and now gets very excited when she sees the entrance of the nursery! She is genuinely so happy there and clearly learns so much as she comes home with new skills all the time. Couldn't recommend any higher.
My daughter joined the nursery in November 2018 and I am so thrilled we managed to get her a place! The staff have always been polite, friendly and helpful. My daughter’s key worker, as well as all other staff in her room, can always update me on the activities she’s been involved in, how she’s...
My daughter joined the nursery in November 2018 and I am so thrilled we managed to get her a place! The staff have always been polite, friendly and helpful. My daughter’s key worker, as well as all other staff in her room, can always update me on the activities she’s been involved in, how she’s been, etc. and I know she’s completely at home with all of the adults in her room. It makes it so much easier leaving her knowing she enjoys her time there and her development has come on leaps and bounds in the last three months.

My daughter started attending Willows Day Nursery in January 2018. From the day I first visited to make an enquiry to my daughter's first day the staff at Willows were more than helpful and supportive! Since she started she has been thriving at the nursery, there are always different activities and focused tasks for her to take part in. The staff have a genuine care for her that is evident in how they are with her. I also find the regular updates through the parent zone are a great way to see what she gets up to at nursery.
My daughter is always so excited to arrive at nursery in the morning and I often have to convince her to leave in the evenings. It makes me very happy to see how much she enjoys going to nursery and how settled she is there.
