I just wanted to give some feedback - your team are AMAZING!
Every single member of staff is so wonderful and I feel so happy leaving my kids at Willow. The smiles on all the faces every morning when I know what a tough job they have. Rida, Anisha and Rashmi are my stand outs but the others are all
fantastic. I love Amaan - great addition, and lovely to have some male influence there too.
You (Sam) are obviously fantastic at hiring quality staff and always so helpful, accommodating and reassuring so thanks for you too :)

Our daughter has been at Harvey House Willow since July 2025 and we truly could not be happier with the care she has received. The facilities, curriculum and activities the children partake in are brilliant, but it is really the staff who make HHW what it is. Our daughter has been shown nothing but
kindness and her development has come on leaps and bounds since joining the nursery. The staff are considerate of each child's needs, and the care for each child feels so bespoke. It feels like they know our daughter so well. The management team are also wonderful and will really bend over backwards to help. We're very grateful our daughter is at HHW.

Willow House staff are caring and nurturing and always paid close attention to my daughter's needs. The atmosphere is fun and loving but also very professional.
We only experienced the preschool room which was the perfect small setting after being at a childminders previously. The school preparation
was excellent and very thorough and attentive.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the nursery.

A very positive experience right from the first day. My son was welcomed by staff who seemed to be well trained, qualified and confident, what made the settling in period very smooth. Staff has been very affectionate and sweet following a gentle approach that was effective and very much appreciated.
There is a good structure during the day helping the kids to acquire the necessary skills to become independent individuals. There is a lot of support throughout, and an open channel of communication between parents and carers. We will definitely miss you!

We are moving abroad and have to say a very sad farewell to Willow House. If it weren't for this move, our son would be staying here without question.
This nursery is an absolute gem. The staff are the kindest and most dedicated people you could hope to have looking after your child. They create a
fun, safe and varied environment for the children. Our son has been incredibly happy here, learning and growing so much over the last 6 months.
Thank you to the whole team for making his first experience of "school" so positive and joyful. We will miss you hugely and recommend you to everyone without a moment's hesitation!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We've had a really great experience at Willow. The staff are kind, caring, and professional, creating a warm and welcoming environment where my daughter has really thrived.
It took her a little while to settle in, but with the support of her amazing key person - who even created a special "thumb shake"
to help them bond - and by finding a drop-off routine that worked better for her, she now walks in happily and doesn't look back.
She talks constantly about her teachers, her friends, and all the fun things they do. We love the creative learning activities, including yoga, dance, cooking, and regular trips to the park.
She's definitely ready for school now.
Highly recommend!

Review from Darren S (Father of Child) published on 29 May 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We couldn't be happier with our daughter's experience at this fantastic nursery. It truly has a warm, family feel, which helped our daughter feel safe and supported from the very beginning. Although she was quite shy at first, the wonderful staff made her feel so welcome that she quickly came out of
her shell.


The staff and management are always friendly, approachable, and open to any questions or concerns we may have. What really stands out is the excellent mix of onsite and offsite activities, which have played a big part in our daughter's development-socially, emotionally, and academically.


We also really appreciate the detailed and thorough assessments provided, which give clear insights into her progress across all key areas. It's clear that the team genuinely cares about each child's journey.


We feel confident that this is the best possible place for our daughter, and we highly recommend it to other families.

Couldn't have asked for a better Team to help us start our baby's early years education. She took a while to settle in and the staff were brilliant at keeping me posted about how she was doing and sending me photos. They do an amazing job at providing a creative, fun and educational environment for
the babies. It is a real family vibe with a team who clearly love their job and care so much about the kids.

Willow is such a friendly, welcoming, attentive and playful setting. The settling-in period for our daughter was wonderful as it was spread over 5 days, so it allowed her to get used to the surroundings and staff before completing a full day. Communication is good, and the range of activities for the
little ones to engage in is great.

Since joining willow house in January, our daughter has come on so far with the support and care of the staff at Willow. She smiles the minute she sees nursery and can't wait to go and see her friends and the staff. Excited to see her develop further during her time there!

Harvey House Nursery - Willow provides fantastic care for their children. The activities put on are thoughtful and creative, and there are plenty of trips out which are hugely educational for the children. The staff are so caring and kind and know each individual child so well. The outside space, which
is somewhat limited, is used so efficiently with outside toys and games that keep the children active and entertained. They focus on each child's learning and cater educational activities for the needs of the individual. Food appears to be nutritional and much enjoyed. There is also plenty of it and many food-making activities to get the children learning about food in general. Management is hands-on and proactive. Parents are well-informed and listened to.

The staff are so fantastic, they do so many fun activities and treat the children like family. Our son switched to Harvey House Nursery - Willow from another nursery at 2 years old, it was such an easy transition, my son absolutely loves it, he even asks to go at the weekend which would have been unheard
of before! Absolutely recommend.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since my daughter joined Willow Harvey House in October 2024 shortly after it just opened, we have noticed a massive improvement in her speech, development and overall happiness whilst in care. All of the staff are amazing, caring and loving and despite which room they manage, they all know us and always
greet her by her name which is really nice. They include the children in cooking activities which are really nice and great for her development, the gym area is great especially the slide which she loves. She does a lot of physical activities including yoga and practises with self-awareness and regulation which helps a lot. I love the way they get the children to use their own chopping boards and safe kitchen tools to cut their own fruits which helps with their independence and how well they are preparing them for school by mirroring some routines in primary school. Words cannot describe how happy we are with the nursery, they are simply amazing! The management team is phenomenal!

Couldn't recommend this nursery highly enough. My son absolutely loves going here, he's in the baby room and is learning so much. The staff are caring and friendly and I feel very fortunate that he's spending his early years here. The facilities are clean and inviting. The activities they do with the
children are creative and fun, and I look forward to getting my daily updates via the app.

Our child is in the baby room and we couldn't be happier with the care he is receiving. The development we have seen in the first few months is great and very exciting. There's always a good range of activities, regular trips out and it's clear the staff really care about the children and their growth.
The staff are as excited as we are when the children learn new skills. The team are building a great community around the nursery and we're very pleased to be part of it.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.941)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.941) out of 10 for Harvey House Nursery - Willow 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.941 for Harvey House Nursery - Willow is calculated as follows: ( (191 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 203 Ratings = 4.941
  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 Harvey House Nursery - Willow is based on 17 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 57 number of registered child places is 11.4, which has been reached with 17 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.
