A fabulous nursery in a purposes built building not an adapted house. The staff are brilliant. They truly care about the children. The family app provides instant info on how our child is doing which is always reassuring. All the activities are themed and multiskilled.

I've used the nursery previously with my middle a few years ago, and returned with my youngest may this year, the staff have been nothing but amazing with helping my child settle in, their communication with me has been amazing every single time, every morning every staff member has a smile on their
face to greet the children and their energy is contagious, from the care of the children to the planning of events with everything In-between the staff are brilliant, hats off to every staff member of willow green day nursery from the cooks to the nursery workers to management, to walk into a building and it feel like the staff are one big family is quite hard to find, hands down recommend this nursery the care and nurture my child receives everytime shes their would be unmatched anywhere else! I was worried as my child has allergys that her needs may not be met in such an environment like a busy nursery or school, but the staff have been amazing with making sure she is safe.

My son started attending willow green from September. He becomes unsettled at drop offs, but the staff have been so supportive and patient since the start, they work at his pace to make him comfortable. They also send regular messages and pictures to make the parents feel relieved. All the staff and
management are extremely friendly and professional, really puts our mind at peace, we couldn't have chosen at better nursery for our son.

My Son started Willow green day nursery in April 2025. Since then he has come on so much. He is thriving and absolutely loves it when he's there. I cannot fault the staff and the nursery in whole. They support your child and the parent whenever and where ever they can! The staff are just the best, I
feel so comfortable leaving him and if there are any issues they are on the phone to you straight away. The connection that gets created between them and your child is so lovely to see. I am so happy that I chose this nursery for my son. I highly recommend Willow green to everyone.

We couldn't be happier in choosing this nursery. My little one has been going for around 12months now and the staff have become like an extended family to us all. The love and care they give to each day shines through and they always go the extra mile. There's never anything that's too big of an ask
and they're always on hand to offer support and advice which I've found so helpful as a first time mum. It's a great nursery made even better with the incredible staff!

My son started in April at the age of 2, at the time he was pretty much non verbal, and didn't like leaving my side. He is now thriving at the nursery, he's now talking and loves going to nursery to play with his friends. All the girls that work there are so lovely and really helped my son to transition
into the nursery setting. He can easily take comfort in all the girls if needed.

Willow Green day nursery cannot be faulted. The staff are attentive and friendly and make you feel so secure with leaving your child there everyday. My daughter is thriving and the support is constant, if you have any worries the staff are on hand to help and support. The nursery is spotless and they're
always introducing new equipment for the children, they offer stay and plays and lots of activities for parents to join. I would choose this nursery all over again and my other daughter will also be attending next year.

My little girl has been attending this nursery since January 2025, when she was just 11 months old. At first, I was worried about how she would settle in, but the staff have been so supportive and friendly. From where she was then to how she is now, she has come on in leaps and bounds! She's now so
confident around the staff, and her development has improved so much. I really appreciate how all the members of staff make time for my little girl and give me updates on her day - even if they're not her key worker or based in her room. All the staff are amazing at keeping me informed and making us feel part of her journey. I highly recommend this nursery!

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.964)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.964) out of 10 for Willow Green Day Nursery 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 37 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 37 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 4.964 for Willow Green Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (427 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 442 Ratings = 4.964
  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 Green Day Nursery is based on 37 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 63 number of registered child places is 12.6, which has been reached with 37 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.
