Review from Sharon D (Mother of Child) published on 2 June 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I started using Willows Day Nursery when I had my first born, he was 6 months old. I have 7 children, all who have attended or are attending to this present day. I am pleased with the nursery and the staff. It is lovely to know the staff can approach me with an issue and I can approach them if I have an issue, it feels like my second home. My children have really enjoyed attending the nursery. The staff don't get much credit for doing what they do, thank you for being part of mine and my children's lives, they have happy memories from attending the nursery. Thanks again Willows.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been with Willows since she was just over one and I have found the care and education she has received in these formative years exemplary. She loves the nursery and I now get pushed out of the door when I drop her off! Now in the pre-school room, we can view her learning journal which documents all the fun she's been having and the friendships she has formed. All the staff are lovely, very approachable, listen to what you are saying and the communication within the facility reliable and consistent. I have the utmost confidence that when I leave my daughter she is in a happy, safe and nurturing environment with people that she is familiar with.

Overall Experience

My son loves coming to this nursery, he is a happy, content baby and is always full of smiles when I come to collect him.

I feel confident that he will get lots of care and attention when he is at Willows and he adores the staff in the room, especially his key person. I also know that any dietary or personal preferences are adhered to and managed appropriately.

I would happily recommend this nursery to anyone and I'm pleased with how my son is progressing in his time here.

Overall Experience

My daughter absolutely loves her time at nursery. She has been attending one day a week since she was 10 months old and has settled so well. The staff in the 'Caterpillar Room' are amazing, my daughter loves them all. They always made me feel so comfortable leaving her there every Tuesday. I am looking forward to seeing her grow at her time at The Willows.

Overall Experience

I have found the nursery very welcoming and the staff very approachable. I like how it's made very clear who my child's keyworker is and she has made a lovely bond with her. I feel happy to drop my child off and know that she will be well looked after at willows.

Review from Hazel S (Grandmother of Child) published on 8 January 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I often pick my grandson up from the Willows nursery and just want to say if you are needing a nursery for your child then I would recommend the Willows. The children are very happy and do a lot of activities throughout the day... The staff are so good and have a good connection with all the children. Well done the team and they always make me feel so welcome when I collect him.

Overall Experience

My Son has been at the willows since he was 10 months old and he has just left to go to preschool. I can not express how great this nursery is and the staff are all outstanding and have a great connection with all the children. My son loved going to nursery and was very sad to say goodbye. He has become a very bright little boy and the daily work that they do with the children is very good. I have some lovely photos of him throughout his stay with the willows. I am very sad to see him leave but with another baby, on way, I will be seeing you all again soon. A massive Thank you.

Review from Jaime B (Mother of Child) published on 31 October 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been here since she was 9 months old, she is now 2. I have never had any concerns with her care and have always been made to feel reassured and confident in the care she receives at Willows. This is because of the competent staff but also because of how happy she is with the staff and how excited she is when I pick her up. I am extremely happy with how the staff treat my daughter and the feedback I receive on a daily basis about how she has been. I feel they have a real interest in developing her and helping shape her as a person in a positive way.

I am also overwhelmed by how much she learns and I like that we get a weekly newsletter so we can practice the things she learns in the nursery at home, which we hope helps reinforce the learning.

All the staff are equally amazing and all very different which is good for her to experience different personalities. I am happy with all aspects of the nursery including admin staff and management.

Review from Vicky H (Mother of Child) published on 12 October 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The new parent app is really good, have done a range of observations and the detail is great to read. The app is easy to use and I love the fact that I can add things that we do outside of nursery. As my child only does 3 days at nursery it's really important that communication of his development is easily accessible for both key worker at nursery and parents. I think it's a great success.

Today my boy graduates from Willows Day Nursery (Aylesbury) having been there a few days a week since he was six months old! A sort of emotional day but with happy memories! my son has come on socially in leaps and bounds in the pre-school room and has a great bond and trust with the staff! I will continue to highly recommend the Willows.

Overall Experience

My daughter has attended Willows Day Nursery for nearly 4 years, she has loved every minute of it and we couldn't be happier with her care. She has learned so much, made lots of friends and been made to feel very safe and secure. The staff have really got to know her and personality. They have let her develop her skills and encouraged her interests. The food is excellent and couldn't be better. I couldn't have asked for more for myself or my daughter.
