cake! He is taught to play nicely with children of all ages - they spend some time all mixed together as well as separate time doing age-appropriate activities. The Tapestry app is brilliant for seeing what he's been up to during the day, and the little book giving a daily record of the more mundane things (eating, sleeping and toileting) is really useful too. They like to spend as much time as possible in their expansive garden (come rain, snow or sunshine) - climbing trees, going on nature trails, playing in the sandpit/boat, water trays, etc. I am sure he will be confident and ready to go to school when the time comes!

his speech, and it is fascinating to notice expressions and facts and values he has picked up at Nursery. There is a healthy balance between choice and boundaries enabling the children to learn respect for themselves, and other people.
The extensive outdoor play area is a real bonus, with water play in a variety of settings being a favourite pastime - and those spare changes of clothes get deployed!
The staff are a very welcoming team and take to heart the children's individual needs including catering for my grandson's allergies.
Excellent foundations are being laid at The Old Buttery Nursery for his education and welfare as a happy rounded individual!

prior to school. Again she thoroughly enjoyed her time there and loves going back to visit.

The staff are great! The love and care they have for all the children is amazing. All the staff make the parents feel at ease when leaving the children.

The garden area is great and its lovely to see all the children out exploring and running around.

Both children enjoy the food provided and never had any complaints.

the area where they change the babies, it often smells when you go to hang up their coats and isn’t a great first impression.
Also, I feel we need a daily whiteboard to show what food they had that day as I often have no idea what my child has eaten.

others, play nicely with those older or younger than themselves, feed themselves, dress themselves, nappy/toilet training.

They always tell me how the day went. The nursery uses a secure online facility for parents to log in and view videos and photos taken of your child during the day, especially when they meet a milestone. Meals are freshly cooked and prepared on site and ingredients are locally sourced. Although it's not a state of the art facility, there are plenty of toys and guided activities for them, and a great outdoor space for them to get out and muck around. To me, that's much more important than having the latest gadgets. I wholeheartedly recommend it.

my son in when the time came.
The staff are all brilliant. They know the children needs and work to the highest standard - I can't fault anything they do.
The barn and outside garden are both very big so plenty of room for the kids to play.
The food is cooked fresh each day and a good variety is always given.
Definitely recommend to other parents.

a year. Would definitely recommend. I do find it expensive, especially the under 2 years rate, but the level of care and to see the development in my child honestly makes it worth it.

to play, with their artwork on the wall.

The outdoor space available for the children is amazing and a real asset. The staff are excellent, always welcoming and attentive - my daughter knows them well and is very happy attending. The nursery also provides updates via Tapestry which is a great record of your child’s progress and what they’ve been doing.

in the warmer weather. I think improvements to the look of the building would attract more families to consider putting their children in- but don't be put off by this, as the staff and the care are very good.

Although the outside exterior looks a little tired the resources inside and personal care are top rates with a very loving family environment that comes with a smaller childcare setting. They also have a great outside area that they put to full use throughout the year. The introduction of the tapestry system last year has been great to see photos and videos of our son enjoying the setting first hand.

I would not hesitate to recommend The Old Buttery, the fact my daughter can't wait to go back next week over half-term speaks volumes. It's definitely an added bonus they will take older siblings during some school holidays.

My twins are treated as individuals, and they are developing their own personalities and confidence as individuals.

I can see day by day how much my boys are learning. The nursery has a wide range of toys, and I see variety in the activities they carry out. They do messy play - brilliant, so I don't have to do it at home and spend a lot of time outdoors.

My children are exposed to a wide range of food at the nursery, and as a result, they eat really well. When we have had struggles with difficult eating, the nursery has persisted and I believe they help re-encourage the boys to try new things again.

Couldn't recommend more!

with the children and understanding their development fully. The environment is stimulating with a wonderful outside play area and wildlife zone. I would highly recommend this setting to anyone in or around Willingham looking for childcare.
