My 3 year old loves going to Willow Tree and often talks at home about the fun activities he's done or the chats that he's had with the grown ups. Communication is fantastic and the app is so easy to use. We get regular observations with pictures where we can see how much of a great time he's
having. The menus are great too and I'm really happy with the foods he's trying and his nutrition there. Highly recommend them, all the staff and team are great with heaps of knowledge and experience.

Willow Tree nursery are amazing and I feel at ease dropping both my sons off as I know they'll be looked after very very well. Staff are lovely and very reassuring and sometimes my sons don't even want to come home. So happy and would definitely recommend.

My 2 year old son started in January 2026 and has settled in so well with the massive help of Fiona, Leanne and the other staff in evergreens. The staff has showed so much care and compassion to my son who still needs cuddles and support on the days he is sad to leave me. The daily updates on the
app and reassurance on pick ups has been a massive help too. All of the staff including the office staff know his name and say hello and goodbye. The range of outdoor and indoor activities is wonderful. Very happy with willow tree nursery.

Would 100% reccomend willow tree, my daughter has been attending since she was 1 and is now in her last year leaving in September. Every class she has been in she has loved and always felt comfortable.

Willow Tree are a lovely nursery. They have made both my daughter and son feel very welcome. Both of my children have been attending since they turned 1 and therefore they have moved through the rooms as they have aged. The staff in my daughter's rooms have been incredible as she has a lot of
anxieties and struggles to cope leaving me. The staff in my son's rooms have been very patient with him as he has a lot of intense emotions. The management are very supportive and understanding, I am glad my children have such amazing role models around them. They have learned so much and made some lovely friends, I plan to send my 7 month old there when she turns 1 also. The only negative I would say is regards to the opening times - I wish it was earlier as I have to start work earlier than they open. But other than that I can't fault the nursery!

Choosing a nursery for your child is never an easy decision, but I can say with complete confidence that Willow Tree has exceeded every expectation. My child is in a under 2s room, and the level of care shown by the staff is truly outstanding.
The environment is clean, well-organised, and
stimulating, and safeguarding is clearly a top priority. The staff create a safe, nurturing environment where each child feels valued and supported. The relationships they build with the children are genuinely caring, which has made a real difference to my son's happiness and progres. They provide thoughtful, age-appropriate activities that encourage learning and confidence. Communication with parents in outstanding, as regular updates are shared via the family app. The meals provided are also fantastic; children receive nutritious and varied meals ensuring they are exposed to a wide range of foods.
Overall, I have complete peace of mind knowing my son is in very capable and caring hands.

Just can't thank your wonderful nursery enough for the care you have given my granddaughter since a baby. I'm so impressed with all the projects for the children, the thought and planning that your fantastic, caring staff put into everything is over and above! Not forgetting the baby ducks & the
tasty meals. My granddaughters progression over the past year has been amazing .. Thank you Willow Tree Nursery.. keep up the good work x

Lovely nursery with amazing staff who go above and beyond for our daughter. We like that we are always kept in the loop with daily updates and photos of what our daughter has been doing and how she is getting on with her day.

I am beyond happy with my son attending willow tree nursery, All the staff take the time to get to know each child individually, always saying hello when passing and are all extremely helpful. The nursery is very clean, offer homemade nutritious meals and snacks and I feel very safe with the
security with my child being there. My son is awaiting diagnosis for ASD and SPD and the nursery have been absolutely amazing with him they have a SENCO lady who helps him achieve specific milestones along with his key worker and other room assistants. They are extremely good and patient with him and always trying new things to help him explore and learn as much as possible to his ability. It's all about fun with this nursery and my son loves going. I would always highly recommend this nursery it has been the best thing for my sons development and I can't thank them all enough.

Since my daughter started at Willow Tree Nursery School in October 2024, I have felt so happy and relaxed to be dropping her off at such a beautiful, caring, clean, loving, home-from-home and 10/10 nursery. I haven't had the pleasure of meeting all of the staff as of yet, but in passing the ones who
I do not know have always said hello/goodbye and were polite. The ladies in my daughter's room, have made me and my daughter feel so comfortable and at ease from the very beginning. Their passion for their work thrives through their personalities and I always know that my daughter is in the safest of hands. I cannot wait to continue to watch my daughter grow at Willow Tree until she leaves for school and thank you all for all your dedication.

I enrolled my son when he turned 3, and he has very quickly changed from a shy and timid boy to one full of curiosity and adventure since joining Willow Tree Nursery School.
Every single team member of his room has been so welcoming to him, and I love how his class feels personal and
family-orientated. I love how we get regular daily updates, the communication is outstanding.
My son is thriving in a sense of creativity and education, he is learning new things all the time and comes home singing new songs.
I can't wait to send my youngest when he's ready.

I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough, both of my boys have been to this nursery and although there are other childcare options closer to us I have chosen to keep my child in this setting because of the fantastic care, wonderful family feel and love shown to my children by all the staff.
Always supportive, always flexible, always look after the parents as well as the child! My children have both always had a fantastic time, doing a range of activities always something new to explore and adventure!

My child used to be very shy and upset going into nursery. The staff were so patient and loving towards my child. They are now the opposite of how they were at the start, they love going into the nursery, seeing the staff, and playing with the other children. My child has learned so many words,
actions, and phrases, I believe my child is excelling above their age range and I owe that to the staff. I am so grateful to Willow Tree Nursery for taking care of my children and allowing them to grow and learn. Me and my child will be sad to leave Willow Tree and I would recommend this nursery to any of my friends and family.

Our daughter has been here for 2 years now and we have found all of the staff exceptional, they go over and beyond to do all that they can for the children and their families, and we can’t thank them enough for all they have done for our daughter and her development during her time at willow tree,
she loves going in every day. It’ll be hard when she has to leave and move to school but the staff do everything they can to help the transition.
Dream nursery setting!

A lovely inclusive nursery that has gone above and beyond to settle my child. Hollie in particular has been wonderful making sure he had continuity, his special interests, and a gradual and sympathetic introduction.
25 March 2024
Amazing nursery. My daughter enjoys her time here and loves the teachers. There is so much for her to do and keep her stimulated. The staff are great including the nonteaching. I'm so pleased I chose this nursery for her.

Willow Tree Nursery is fantastic! My son loves going there and all the staff are amazing. He has come on leaps and bounds since joining and has learned so much. The nursery keeps you updated with progress and using a daily diary I can see what he’s eaten etc. and am always kept updated.

This is by far the best nursery my child has been to. She is definitely staying here! My daughter has been so happy since going to this nursery. She always looks so happy and safe! Management is always updating parents with everything and you can see that they put a lot of effort for parents and
children. My daughter has also got the best key person ever, I get a lot of photos and videos weekly, how brilliant is that? I wish I could give them 10 stars!
