Review from Bartosz K (Father of Child) published on 4 September 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
They really do deserve 5 stars on all categories, if I could give 6 stars for one of the categories, it would be for staff. We have been really lucky with the most amazing carers ( although they are also great educators!). The manager is also very approachable and available for a chat whenever you need
her. Our daughter really feels like home in there. Almost every day of the week has a theme and its filled with really creative activites. I can not imagine sending my kid to any other nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As a first-time Mum, it is incredibly hard letting someone else look after your child, especially when it's not a family member.
The staff at Little Willows and Willow Tree are incredibly warm and wonderful.
The nursery is small which makes the feel of the nursery cosy and makes transitions into
the next rooms easier as the children are familiar with all the staff, regardless of what room they are in.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We think the nursery is brilliant and both my children get so much out of it and are certainly much more confident little people as a result of the nursery and staff. One of my children has been going through a difficult couple of weeks and not wanting to go in (which is not like him at all). However,
the staff have been really good and have made many suggestions to try to help with his drop-offs. This morning he went in with no problems at all which was amazing (Thank you to the staff :-)). I like that the nursery is asking us what we would like him to focus on in terms of his learning.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The team at Little Willows are fantastic. The team in the baby room are just the best. They have had both my children since they were 6 months old. My youngest has recently moved up to the toddler room and has no issue at all. My eldest moved up to the preschool room in the summer and struggled with
the change, but two team members worked with him and us closely to try and settle him in. I have always felt, from all the staff, that the children always come first and they will bend over backwards to help them. The addition of the Famly app has been wonderful. To be able to see the photos of them and their various activities during the day brightens up mine.

A good nursery my daughter always has a good time and is in a happy place when I pick her up.
Ultimately my daughter is there one day a week but she does look forward to it.


My son is also very happy and settled he is always calm and chatty when I pick him up.

Current Review Score: 8.2 (8.152)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.2 (8.152) out of 10 for Willows Nursery (Little Willows) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.2 out of 5 from 1 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 5.000 for Willows Nursery (Little Willows) is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 5
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 3.152 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Willows Nursery (Little Willows) is based on 1 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 = 3
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 33 number of registered child places is 6.6. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 6.6 = 0.152
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
