Partou Willowdene Day Nursery & Pre-school

This nursery is amazing. My daughter has developed so much since attending. The staff are friendly and attentive, any queries or questions are answered and dealt with promptly. My second daughter is due to start soon and can’t wait.

I think this nursery is the best in my area, all the staff are very kind and friendly, my first child went here and she loved it. When it was time for me to go back to work with my second child I looked at all different nurseries as Willowdene didn’t have any places yet for him but I didn’t feel comfortable in any other nursery, I spoke to the manager and she said as soon as a place becomes available it was my sons, I felt so much better, my son loves it there and my new baby will be going there when he is older too.

My son has attended Willowdene since he has been 9 months old he is now 3 and a half. I have always been pleased with the care at Willowdene. Staff are always welcoming and friendly. My son loves going to nursery, he has made lots of friends here and always has lots of fun.

The staff are lovely and helpful and the facilities are well maintained.

Both my little girls have been to the nursery from the age of 6 months. My oldest is 7 and youngest is almost 3 and attends 2 days a week. Both girls have been extremely happy and have been brought on brilliantly by the hard working and friendly staff. I do not have one bad thing to say and would highly recommend the nursery. Thanks for everything

Good nursery. Staff good. My son is happy there.

Highly recommend Willowdene!

Our daughter has grown so much in confidence and knowledge since attending this nursery. A massive thank you to all staff involved in our daughter's care.

Since the refurb, the nursery looks more presentable and has given the children more space. I would recommend this nursery to anyone wanting to send a child there.

My son has been at Willowdene for 3 years. When he started he was shy and clingy. My son has grown with the staff and children at Willowdene. He is now 4 and his speech has come on, he is an outgoing and friendly boy. The staff at Willowdene are friendly, always approachable and helped my son learn and grow. There are always plenty of activities for the children to take part in, eg; making cards, number games, storytime etc. These all help with learning. I can't thank the staff enough for everything in the last 3 years. I know my son loves to go every day and always comes home with a smile and a story to tell about what he has learnt, so thank you.

My daughter really values her time at preschool and has many friends. I consider this is largely due to the excellent staff who give the children space to learn and develop whilst maintaining a positive and firm approach to discipline. In addition, the general physical improvements to the nursery, especially with increased security and gates, provides me with confidence that child safety is an overriding priority.

The teachers and staff are superb, I could not recommend this nursery enough to anyone.

Our son has been attending the nursery since 2013 and has thoroughly enjoyed his time there. The key reason is due to the excellence of the staff who really care about the children and who are always trying to ensure the children's experience is a joyful one. The range of activities which the children undertake throughout all age ranges is impressive and this variety helps ensure the children are kept interested and happy.The recent refurbishment of many of the rooms at the nursery has also been welcomed and contributes to the happy environment. Finally, the food (and variety) focuses on healthy eating and the kids seem to love it, whilst also learning about a balanced diet.

Both my children loved Willowdene. The staff are fantastic, kind and caring. The activities they do with the children are great, such as making cards, painting etc. Another great strength of the nursery is it's very flexible, if you need to do extra days it's never a problem. I would highly recommend.

My son has been going to this nursery for 3 months and he loves it. I've seen a massive change in my son daily, he has come on so much, he's learning new things every day that he then comes home to show us, the staff are lovely to talk to and always on board if you have any concerns! Always welcomed at the nusery, everyone makes you feel at home. Also seen a big improvement in his eating and interest in eating more healthy options.

Would recommend the nursery to friends/family, pleasant staff, lovely environment for children to grow up in, very accommodating with personal /last minute requests, overall been a pleasant 3-year association with Willowdene Private Day Nursery.

Clean, well-organised nursery. Staff are exceptionally pleasant and welcoming and always make the children feel special. Accommodating for all children's needs and feedback is regular. Activities are varied and my child often brings things home for mummy and daddy that he has made during the day. Play outside is often and children get involved in good outdoor activities.

My daughter has attended Willowdene since she was 8 months old. She is now 3. Nursery is always welcoming like a big family. My daughter is always happy and full of stories to tell me about her day. (What she has done, pictures to show me).

They quickly got to know my son and what made him happy. If in doubt about anything they never hesitate to call me. Willowdene has a really family feel about it. My boy loves going and has come on so much since he started.

The only criticism I have is that there are often delays in receiving the invoice and I have had to send it back on several occasions due to errors.
