Our son has been at Willow for nearly six months, and our experience has been overwhelmingly positive. The staff are incredible-warm, attentive, and professional-and always make us feel at ease at drop-off, which means so much as a slightly anxious parent.
It's clear how much care goes into
everything they do, and our son absolutely loves it there. The variety of activities keeps him engaged and happy.
Communication was a top priority for us, and Willow really excels here. Their app keeps us connected and reassured throughout the day, and makes it easy to share updates or ask questions.
Our son has several dietary requirements, and the nursery has been fantastic in supporting us-carefully managing his allergies while gently encouraging him to try new foods.
We couldn't be happier with the care and support provided.

Our daughter is extremely happy here. The staff and management team go above and beyond to provide a caring, engaging environment with lots of interesting projects and trips. The nursery is well-designed and fitted out with some nice play and reading areas.

Harvey house is a human sized nursery. The facility is brand new and decorated with taste. The staff is very kind and always welcomes you with a smile. Kids are really well taken care of and loads of activities are organised: crafts, yoga, zip zap. But most importantly my daughter is always happy to
be dropped off which means everything.

We have been really delighted with Harvey House Willow. Our child was previously with a childminder and I was anxious about the transition to a much busier environment. I really appreciate the nursery's smaller size and the fact that it feels imitate and focussed on close and nurturing relationships
with the children.
The staff were very conscious of my concerns when my son started and were great at welcoming and answering all my questions.
The team provide a great range of stimulating activities for the children and the management team are super responsive and helpful. The nursery have managed to attract and retain such wonderful staff who genuinely care about what they do.
We feel very lucky that our child gets to enjoy the nursery and build such wonderful relationships with the staff and his peers.

My child wakes up excited to go - that says it all. When your little one can't wait to get through the door each morning, you know you've found somewhere special. The staff are warm, attentive, and genuinely caring - it shows in every interaction. Communication with parents is seamless through the
app, so you always feel connected and informed throughout the day.
The environment itself is thoughtfully designed: bright, stimulating, and perfectly sized for curious young minds to explore. There's a real sense that learning and play are woven together here, and you can see the joy and curiosity it's building in the children every single day. We couldn't be happier with the choice.

Our child has been at Willow House since September 2025 and we are really happy with the nursery.
The staff are all lovely and you can tell they care a great deal about all the children.
Communication from the staff is amazing with regular updates throughout the day via the app, including
photos, updates on naps and meals.
The big post of photos at the end of the week is a lovely touch as it shows how much fun the children have had that week.
02 April 2026
Wonderful nursery with very caring staff and supportive management team. The staff really care about the children (and parents!), and are very nurturing and supportive. Lots of activities. Both of my sons have loved going here, and really bonded with their key workers (and lots of the other staff
members and management team). The staff all seem to really enjoy working at the nursery and get on well which each other, which I always think is such a good sign of a healthy functioning team and environment.

We are so pleased with the nursery experience and would recommend wholeheartedly to other families. There is a good range of activities including physical activity in the outdoor space and with external providers. Development reports are provided at regular intervals and any key updates are shared
in real time. We love the fact that all staff across all rooms know all the children and parents, it makes for such a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Our son runs into nursery in the morning and doesn't want to leave come pick up! Management are proactive, caring and communicate well. We value the many celebrations of key dates in the calendar and the events held for families too!

It has been wonderful seeing our baby form such strong attachments to the staff at Willow. This has been due to the caring nature of all the team.
The communication is fantastic, whether that's sending extra photos to reassure us when our baby starts the say a bit sad, or daily observations on our
little one's new skills. They even check in out of hours to see how our baby is feeling when they know he is poorly.
I continue to be impressed by the focus on learning through play even at such a young age. They send a new curriculum and focus for the week and it's great seeing that translate into new words or skills from our baby.
The management are professional and empathetic when dealing with medication when your baby needs it.
Finally, the management goes above and beyond by sharing local events, recipe tips, or interesting news articles with parents.
I am so glad we chose Willow, and recommend it to anyone with young children in the neighbourhood.

We couldn't be happier with Willow House nursery. Our daughter started at 12 months old, and the care, warmth and attention she has received every day has been incredible. The staff are genuinely nurturing and create such a creative, calm and stimulating environment. Facilities are fantastic with a
lovely outdoor space. Communication with parents is also clear and reassuring with regular updates on new observations and developments.
A big thank you to Sam, Tee and the whole Willow House team for all the support so far!
04 February 2026
We've had a great experience at Willow House. The staff are very friendly and there is a really nice, warm atmosphere. We also appreciate the effort they put in to make special events memorable for the children - organising a great zoo trip and then arranging for a donkey and a sheep to come to the
christmas show! Our daughter loves it there and has made good friends.
04 February 2026
Couldn't be happier with Willow House nursery - we know our daughter is in a safe, secure and fun environment and is well cared for by all the staff. She has a brilliant time there and we feel confident dropping her off every morning knowing she's in safe hands. Would highly recommend.

We could not be happier with our experience at HHW. Our son joined the baby room in 2024 and absolutely loves the nursery. The staff go above and beyond with the care they provide, and we love how enriching the curriculum is. It's always a joy to see the updates and all the fun that is being had!
We've really valued the detailed updates and reports we receive on our son's learning and development progress, and the close relationship he's built with his key worker in each room as he's moved up. We really enjoy the additional events that the nursery hosts for families, including a zoo trip and christmas party, which make you feel part of the wider community. There is clearly a strong culture of investing in staff training and development and I am sure this contributes to the high staff retention rates, which we really value as parents. The team have also been particularly supportive of our son and family during challenging personal periods which we are very grateful for.

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.
27 October 2025
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.
06 October 2025
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!
11 September 2025
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!
09 June 2025
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!

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.
