Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our little girl has been at Willow Daycare for a few months and we couldn't be happier. From day 1 they have made us feel very welcome and our daughter settled into nursery so quickly with a smile at the end of most days which is absolutely down to the care, attention and focus on her. Every morning
and evening you are greeted with smiling faces and they really do seem to love their jobs. Willow Daycare is a very special place.

Willow Daycare has been a godsend for us with working patterns and them being so flexible. Our daughter has thrived in the setting and absolutely loves it there with the staff. They are all amazing and we never feel any worry about her being there or the standard of care, because that is exceptional.
We could not manage without Willows and we are so glad we found out about it and were able to get a place for our daughter there. Thank you Willows.

Staff are fantastic. They've been really informative and engaged with pickup and drop-off. They are all really friendly and supportive of our needs and flexible with requests. Great communication all around. We love that our little one is exposed to various different foods and activities, allowing him
to explore, but still feel safe and supported. We always get such lovely updates and pictures. Thank you.

Would definitely recommend this nursery, both of my children have been to this nursery. All staff are amazing. The kids always got excited going every morning. They have learnt so much going here and made so many friends. The app is amazing as you can see what they've been up to throughout the day.

Willow Daycare is a fantastic nursery. The staff are very helpful and welcoming, nothing is too much to ask. My child loves going to nursery and is always well-fed, enjoys playing there and is very well looked after. There is an app which updates parents with photos and the little ones' activities,
and it is incredibly reassuring to see how much my child loves his days. He has been attending this nursery for over a year, and we have been well looked after in all of this time. Would highly recommend this wonderful nursery, thank you for everything you are doing, and keep up the excellent work!

My 3 year old has been attending Willow Daycare since he was like 2, he really loves going, my boy is always happy to go into nursery and have a great time there, he counts in Welsh to me which is great, he comes home singing and happy to attend again. The staff are brilliant, friendly and very welcoming.
I highly recommend Willow Daycare if you are looking for a nursery that ticks all the boxes.

My child went from one nursery (due to closing down) and came to here as recommended. As frustrating as it was for the previous nursery to be closing, it was a blessing looking back! Communication from the amazingly friendly staff is outstanding. The updates, activities, and themes. All just amazing

I am very happy with the quality of care and education that Willow Day Care provides for my children. The staff are very friendly, professional, and attentive to the individual needs and interests of each child. The nursery has a stimulating and safe environment, with a variety of activities and resources
that promote learning and development. My children has learnt a lot during early years, although I live a bit of a distance from nursery but I don’t feel any other nursery will provide such care for my children. The manager and team is great and doing fantastic for the community.

This nursery is absolutely fantastic and goes beyond expectations. Staff are welcoming, and happy and they know our children, really know them. Before my boy goes to sleep he tells me how much he loves us and 4 particular nursery members of staff, sending good night wishes to them. Also, the opening
hours are amazing allowing less rushed mornings for the children and us. Beyond grateful for the care and flexibility this nursery offers. Thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My 2-year-old son has been with Willow since he was 10 months. I was looking for a nursery that ticked all the boxes. Luckily enough I found Willow.
When me and my husband stepped inside and were greeted by the manager and shown around, we were swept away by the beauty of the nursery, everything from
the cleanliness to the colourful and educational and nurturing atmosphere. All meals prepared are vegetarian. My son loves coming here and loves the nursery staff too, I know this from the handover in the morning and he puts his arms out and goes into their arms so naturally and lovingly. My son has learnt so much from going here. I know because of Willow he will be ready for school next year! Can’t thank Willow and their team enough for the wonderful work they do. We’ve just had our second son and will be sending him here too. I highly recommend Willow if you're looking for a nurturing family environment, also an educational fun, safe place for your child to grow, learn and be cared for.

My children love going to Willow Daycare. We chose this nursery from recommendations from other parents who send their children there and this was the best decision we made. The staff are brilliant, friendly and welcoming. My children are always happy to go into nursery and have a great time there.
There are loads of updates on the app about what they’ve done and eaten and the photos show how happy they are. Would highly recommend this nursery.

Our son started at Willow late last year and has come on so much. We couldn’t fault them at all, the most family-friendly nursery I’ve seen. They are accommodating, friendly and so caring towards our little one especially recently when they made the few hours he spent there on his birthday very special!
I really love that they do so much with nature and well-being of the children.

I was recommended by a friend to take my son to Willows and I am so happy I did. The staff there are incredible! They really do care and I can see it’s not just a business. I would, without a doubt, recommend this nursery to anyone, I can’t thank you all enough. I tell my son in the morning ‘Time for
nursery’ and the smile on his face is priceless. He’s happy and excited in the car on the way there, right to the point I hand him over. He really loves it and has come on no end there. Thank you

My children have started in Willow Daycare recently and due to past experiences with nurseries I had anxiety about leaving my children, but the staff at Willow Daycare are fantastic and have made settling in with the children a breeze. The communication is fantastic (especially with me being an anxious
mum). My youngest is 1 and she smiles going in (she’s very very clingy) and my 3-year-old doesn’t look back when going there.
Food choices are all healthy and fantastic. I cannot praise them enough for making this transition run smoothly.

My son has been attending Willows for over a year now, he absolutely loves it! All the staff go above and beyond to not only make the children feel comfortable but parents too. I’ve not had any bad experiences with Willow, and can definitely say they are without a doubt the best daycare in the area.

I have recently been looking at other nurseries because of the possibility of transferring to another area for my job.
I have not found one single nursery that even slightly compares to Willow.
They go above and beyond to help, the staff are all lovely and the owner is amazing. My daughter absolutely
loves it there, they are the best nursery around.

I can't recommend Willow Daycare enough. The service and care they provide is excellent and always over and above. My son absolutely loves going every day and has a big smile on his face whenever he goes in. He has progressed so much since starting and the toys and activities are so engaging.

Like all first-time parents, we were nervous about placing our child into the care of others, especially as it was difficult to get a feel of places during COVID. We visited as many nurseries in the area and none really stood out until we visited Willow Daycare.
The dedication enthusiasm and love of
the staff is unmatched. We are so happy we found this nursery and will be forever grateful for the amazing care and start they have given our daughter. She has truly loved it here.

I highly recommend Willow Daycare. My baby attended for two months and had a wonderful experience. The daycare was clean, safe, and nurturing with an experienced and caring staff. My baby was well-fed, had plenty of playtimes, and received individualized attention. It gave me peace of mind knowing my
baby was in good hands. Thank you for providing such a great daycare experience!

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.969)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.969) out of 10 for Willow Daycare Ltd 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 35 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 35 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 4.969 for Willow Daycare Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (409 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 420 Ratings = 4.969
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Willow Daycare Ltd is based on 35 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 53 number of registered child places is 10.6, which has been reached with 35 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
