Review from Mia G (Mother of Child) published on 17 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Everything about Willow Tree is wonderful. The staff are friendly, kind and attentive. Our son is always excited to attend and enjoys seeing all his friends. He has grown in skill and confidence while being supported to thrive and achieve in a fun and caring environment. It is lovely to see them going
to the park and all the fun activities they create including lots of messy play. As a parent you are kept up to date on the app, get regular updates at pick up and drop off. It's fun to see what they've eaten and get pictures of what they've been up to. I couldn't recommend Willow Tree more and we are very sad to leave due to moving out of the area.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son spent a wonderful 13 months at Willow Tree Nursery, from the age of 1 until 2 years and 1 month (moved due to logistics). The staff are friendly, enthusiastic and caring. He built lots of strong bonds with the staff and his other classmates over this time and truly felt at home there, to the
point where he was walking in, in the morning, without looking back or saying goodbye to us! His progress in terms of social and language skills has been excellent, which shows the range of activities they engage in and how much focus they get from their practitioners. My son was also diagnosed with Hypermobility at the age of 14 months and the nursery was outstanding in terms of building him a care plan to assist with his gross motor development delay. Within a couple of months, he was crawling, sitting from lying, and eventually walked at 19 months which both us and our physio did not expect so soon. I put this purely down to the focus he was getting at Willow Tree.

Would like to say a massive thank you to Willow Tree Nursery for taking lovely care of my child in the past 3 years!
Absolutely amazing, professional and loving staff, helping him grow in every stage. Caring staff, constantly assisting with the changes in our little ones. Supporting the parents through
the life-changing events and you never feel alone. Great food menu, park trips, lovely events, playgrounds, learning, reading, dancing and playing, my son was very happy at the Willow Tree Nursery.
The most important for me as a parent, was not worrying about my child while he was in the nursery, knowing he is safe and happy.
Thank you to the excellent manager, my son's outstanding key worker and all the wonderful staff at Willow Tree Nursery!
Recommending that nursery is the least I could do!
Thank you.

My daughter has been here for her preschool year and I can honestly say that it is such a lovely nursery. All the teachers care well for her and she loves going to the nursery. Potty training was smooth between the nursery and the house. My daughter is so happy there and she learns so much.

Everyone at Willow Tree is absolutely wonderful. Their communication throughout the settling-in process and at drop-off and pick-up each day is 2nd to none. I truly feel as if everyone there actually cares about our child and his well being and he is a big fan of his wonderful key-carer. Could not recommend
more highly.

We had a great experience at Willow Tree Nursery.
The staff is amazing, caring, and connected to the child and family's needs. My child was always happy to go to the nursery.
I have no hesitation in recommending Willow Tree Nursery to other parents. It's a place where your child will be cared for
and nurtured.

We enrolled our baby boy at Willow Tree when he was just 10 months old, and it has been a wonderful experience from day one. The best thing is how amazing the staff are I feel like they know my child as well as I do. They spend time talking to me about their day, answering my questions and supporting
me in any requests I may have. My son is obsessed with any form of messy play especially the one with foam and they provide a wide variety of activities throughout the week (drawing, painting, sticking ).
Highly recommend.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have no words to express how grateful we are for this nursery. We enrolled our son when he was a little over 1 year old. We were very apprehensive as it was his 1st time at nursery and surrounded by many children. From day 1, all staff members made us feel comfortable and very relaxed. They showed
us around and also made us present for settling days. Our son is still non-verbal however, he always has a spark in his eyes and expresses his happiness when we get to the nursery. All staff are very kind, and caring and have an amazing eye for detail. We always had the greatest and most accurate feedback in regard to our son's development. The nursery also has an app which is super useful to check how your child's day is going in terms of eating and sleeping. The management team is brilliant, always eager to help and constantly staying in touch. They also review and implement/suggest activities that will help your child's development in the future. We highly recommend Willow Tree Nursery!

We enrolled our daughter at Willow Tree when she was just 10 months old, and it has been a wonderful experience from day one. The staff's kindness and enthusiasm are evident every day and my daughter is so happy to go into nursery!
The team’s commitment to every child is evident in their personalized
approach to care and education. They take the time to understand each child's unique needs and interests and I think this is a key reason they have so many happy children at the nursery. Moreover, the nursery’s flexibility during the settling-in period was incredibly reassuring. They worked closely with us to ensure our daughter transitioned smoothly, making adjustments as needed to help her feel comfortable and secure.
We are so grateful for Willow Tree and highly recommend it to any parent considering taking up a place.

Oh how I adore this nursery! What makes this place very special is the staff and the genuine bond they build with the children. It makes you feel like you are leaving your child with family rather than paid care. The nursery is very well run and communication is clear, quick and always in a caring manner.
My daughter is obsessed with any form of messy play and they provide such a wide variety of activities throughout the week (drawing, painting, sticking). The team work hard on each child's development and my 1 year old's speech/numbers/colours etc. have come on leaps and bounds. My daughter is happy and full of life at the end of each day, usually wanting to stay and play for longer!

Our daughter has had a fantastic time at Willow Tree. All of the staff have been so lovely and always greeted us with a smile every morning. Our daughter was always happy at the handover and settled in very quickly under their excellent care. She also slept well and ate all of the food every day.

There are many great things about Willow Tree Nursery, but the best thing is how amazing the staff are. I feel like they know my child as well as I do! They always show my daughter such care and love, while also supporting her development and encouraging her to try new things and gain confidence. All
the staff who work with her, bring out the best in her. What more could I wish for? They spend time talking to me about her day, answering my questions and supporting me in any requests I may have. It seems like a happy place to work and I think that comes across to the children too. The nursery is well organised, communication is great and my child loves it. Highly recommended.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.567)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.567) out of 10 for Willow Tree Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 11 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 4.871 for Willow Tree Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (119 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.871
  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 4.696 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Willow Tree Nursery is based on 11 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 79 number of registered child places is 15.8. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 15.8 = 0.696
  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.
