Review from Yassmine E (Mother of Child) published on 27 March 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I visited many nurseries before deciding to send my 1year-old daughter to Willow Green Nursery. From my very first visit, I felt it was the right place for my little one
I was very anxious about leaving my daughter, as she is my first child and I am very attached to her. However, in less than a week,
she settled in so well and so did I, thanks to the staff who kept me updated on how she was doing and sent me pictures of her throughout the day.
The staff are amazing, and Rebecca is wonderful at making the nursery feel so welcoming. The cook was also fantastic from day one, confirming that halal food could be provided for my daughter.
I highly recommend this nursery my daughter has developed so many skills and really enjoys going.

Honestly the best childcare setting and nursery I have ever come across. My eldest daughter has just left and my youngest started here at 7 months old and I can't put into words how amazing this nursery is. The girls are so thoughtful and will help in anyway they can. They go above and beyond for children
AND parents. My little girl is so happy here. The nursery is spotless and tidy. The nursery always have themed days or activities, they have stay and plays which involve all parents and these are so welcoming and at a convenient time. They have a wonderful app where you can see updates daily and I receive multiple pictures everyday. Would recommend Willow Green to anybody!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This was the first nursery I signed my child up for and as soon as I met the staff and saw the nursery I knew I wanted to chose this one without even viewing others. The staff are so kind, happy and caring. My child has got such a good bond in a small amount of time with the staff because they give
so much attention and care. I get updated on the family app of what she has done and ate throughout the day which is helpful. The facilities, outdoor space and activities they do anre amazing for the children and I am overall very happy with decision I made choosing the nursery. My child is already thriving and has come out of her shell since going here.

Moved my little one over to Willow Green in December, best decision I've made for him. He's only been attending a few weeks but he is so happy there and all the security means I know he's safe. All the staff have a welcoming smile to greet us and the manager always has time for everyone and a smile
on her face too. Fab nursery!

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.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.972)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.972) 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 39 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 39 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 4.972 for Willow Green Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (454 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 466 Ratings = 4.972
  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 39 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 39 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.
