Willow Tree Nursery has been fantastic for our two boys. From day one, the staff have been warm, caring, and genuinely invested in their happiness and development. It's such a nurturing environment, and we've seen both of them grow in confidence and independence.


The balance between learning and

play is perfect-every day is engaging and full of new experiences. We love being able to see their adventures through the app-it's great to stay connected and watch them thrive.


Willow Tree has given our boys the best possible start, and we're so grateful to the incredible staff. If you're looking for a nursery where your child will be happy, nurtured, and thrive, we highly recommend it!


Reply from Nancy Charnock, Manager at Willow Tree Day Nursery and Nursery School

As many parents are, we were nervous about our child attending nursery for the first time, especially considering they were very shy and were often visibly uncomfortable being around people they didn't know. After just a few weeks, they had built a great relationship with their key worker and now 6
months later they walk around the house saying their key workers name and dragging around their nursery bag wanting to go. All of the staff are very friendly and our child has clearly developed well in all areas, but especially socially. They absolutely love going to nursery and get excited every time. The nursery have also been great in catering for our child's dietary requirements. The facilities and location are great, with lots of outside space and they're always taking part in a range of activities that appear both engaging and educational. I would highly recommend Hale Day Nursery to anyone seeking attentive, professional and stress-free childcare.

The staff at Hale Day Nursery have been incredibly accommodating of our son and the many questions we've had during his first months at the nursery. He has struggled at times with not wanting to leave parents for the day but the staff have been great at building up his confidence in spending the day
away from home. Regular updates help to give an insight into the trips and activities they all get up to.

Our daughter has been at nursery now for a month. She absolutely loves it, the daily pictures and friendly staff put a first-time mum like myself at ease. Different daily activities (sensory etc) keep my daughter busy and learning a wide variety of food keeps my daughter trying new things. Overall very
happy with all aspects of nursery and hope our experience continues to be as positive.

I can't rate Woodlands Day Nursery highly enough. My, now, 14 month old daughter started at Woodlands when I was returning to work - an anxiety-filled, vulnerable, transitional period of time for the family. From the off, the professional, knowledgeable, warm, and kind-hearted practitioners put both
myself and my daughter at ease. My daughter really enjoys her time with the Woodlands team, and adores her keyworkers, so I feel relaxed and comfortable leaving her with them, knowing she will be having a fun and educational time outside of her home. The team encourage my little one to 'get stuck in' with messy play (indoors, and outdoors), and have tried to get to know her as an individual to try to maximise the enjoyment she takes from activities.

My son has been at Woodlands for just under 6 months and we have been nothing but happy with the nursery, the staff went above and beyond to settle him in to his new setting so quickly and make sure I was always comfortable when trying to settle him in. We are always kept up to date and well informed
about what he has been up to each week with the weekly updates. You can really see the genuine care and compassion for each child during pick-up and drop-offs. The manager and the team do a fantastic job day in and day out, any child is lucky to be able to get a place within Woodlands!

If you are looking for the best start for your little one, look no further! I viewed many nurseries before choosing Broussa Day Nursery & Nursery School.
My little boy has thrived there. It meant the world to me that he would happily go to his key person or start playing without so much as a goodbye
at drop-off. He was always there and happy to go.
I can't thank all of the staff there enough. They were the reason we considered not moving house/area and are so sad to go. I wish our youngest could have had the same start in the big, wide world there. Broussa, you'll be very much missed.

My daughter has been attending here since she turned one so just over 2 years now - we have become a little extended family here with the team at Willow Tree couldn't ask for a more lovely group of people honestly! Since day 1 they've always been so caring and attentive to our little girl. She has blossomed
here with how calm and fun it is - it really is such a wonderful environment where every day we felt comfortable that she was in safe hands. Food is great, activities are engaging, and I'm sure she eats well - much better than home! She has passed the daytime nap phase but when she did it was so peaceful and smooth. Highly rate the team here and we will miss you thank you so much!

All staff are very nice and friendly. They have a clear curriculum for the children which obviously involves lots of play. The teachers are knowledgeable and have a variety of experience. The different classes all the way from baby to preschool have been great. They have a lovely outdoor area and have
extra activities for the children to do. I would like to see more information and photos of the meals provided, something that has been asked for but not currently done.

Hale Day Nursery has been amazing for my daughter. She started at the beginning of September and has taken some time to settle in but throughout this time the staff and in particular her key worker, has been fantastic. They have been very kind, caring and loving with her and very supportive to me. It
is not easy having a child that is taking time to settle into nursery however having the staff being reassuring but honest has really helped. I have really appreciated them taking my daughter in their arms and giving her a cuddle if she is upset at drop off and my daughter's key worker always hands over at pick up time and gives a good amount of information. The updates on tapestry are great to see too. Overall I would highly recommend the nursery.

Great experience with this nursery. The staff in Hedgehogs are brilliant. Our daughter has really warmed to the staff who have gone to great lengths to cater for her needs. They are clearly very knowledgeable and patient with all our questions. Their attention to detail is always appreciated and this
is reflected in the quality of daily handover about how the day has been spent. It is a pleasure to drop off/pick up each time and I'm convinced our little one really enjoys her time there. On the occasion that she has not been herself, I felt the staff have dealt with it appropriately and called me to give updates as required. Very reassuring.

My daughter absolutely loves Hale Day Nursery, she attends full-time. Her key persons have been and are absolutely great and she's learning so much more than I could ever teach her at this stage. She's already made her first friends from the sounds of it and love hearing about her day when we pick her
up and what she's eaten. She eats better than we do!
The staff always have a smile on their face on drop off and pick up and are generally really positive and enthusiastic about all the children and the activities they get up to. I particularly love the time they spend doing outdoor activities, the photos from the woodland adventure was a favourite!
In terms of constructive comments, I think more needs to be communicated to parents in terms of tailgating as I've experienced it a few times and when grandparents pick our daughter up they haven't been asked for the password on the first occasion.

We have been delighted with Hale Day Nursery from the moment our son joined. As a somewhat nervous toddler who had struggled to settle in his previous setting, we were worried that he would struggle again here, but he hasn't; he has simply been thriving! Since starting 2 months ago, his gross motor
skills and confidence have progressed exponentially. He constantly talks about his favourite key workers and barely ever cries at drop-off anymore.
We love this nursery.
