Overall Experience

My 3-year old son has had a wonderful experience at Willow Tree Nursery in Mildenhall, where he has been since he was just 3 months old. From the very beginning the staff provided a warm, nurturing environment helping him grow and develop with confidence. He has built strong relationships with staff

and friends, enjoying a range of engaging activities that have fostered his love of learning the nursery caring approach has ensured he feels safe, happy and excited to attend each day.

Overall Experience

My daughter has just started at Willow Tree Nursery, and we've had such a positive experience. I was very anxious about her starting, especially as she is so young, but the seedlings team has made us (both baby and parents) feel at ease. She already enjoys her days there and comes home with big smiles.

The staff are wonderful with her, and they got to understand her needs very quickly. A special shout out to her key worker. You are all amazing :)

Overall Experience

Our son has been attending from the age of 10 months and is now nearly 4. We have sent our daughter here too and she has been going for nearly a year. They have taken her to see her brother is she is upset and they see each other in the large garden.
They are both very happy and have such special relationships

with the staff.
They give fantastic communication through the app. We are often messaging throughout the day. The management put a lot of effort into organising nativity, sports day and stay and play sessions for parents to attend.
We get a thorough handover and lots of artwork that they have produced.
My son loves the dance class with the lady who runs them they have in the preschool room. Really recommend.

Overall Experience

Willow Tree Nursery is an exceptional childcare facility that truly stands out for its caring and professional approach. From the moment we step inside, you can feel the warmth and dedication that permeates the environment. The staff in the Baby Room are particularly remarkable - they are incredibly

nurturing, attentive, and make it clear how much they genuinely care for each child's well-being. They take the time to create a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment where babies can thrive, which is so important for the parents' peace of mind. The manager at Willow Tree Nursery deserves a special mention as well. Their leadership is evident in how smoothly the nursery operates and in the positive energy of the entire team. Overall, Willowtree Nursery provides an exceptional experience that gives parents confidence that their little ones are in the best possible hands.

Overall Experience

My daughter started here full-time just after her 1st birthday. It's truly become the best second home a little girl could dream of, all the staff are fantastic, kind, funny, they care so much about all the kids and it shines through. She adores them all. There is a fantastic different selection of

toys, but again the staff come up with some of the most ridiculous but amazing activities. Constantly are updated with pictures, progress reports and what they have eaten, how long they have slept and how many nappies have been changed. I will forever be grateful to the Willow Tree management and staff. I looked round 5 other nurseries before I found Willow Tree and fell in love with it immediately. They also arrange, nativities, a Christmas party where Santa came, stay and play sessions for parents to see what their child or children get up to. The best outdoor space. If you want a homely, safe, loving environment, where staff and children are happy this is the place to go for.

I have collected my grandchildren from nursery school a few times and the staff have always been very friendly and welcoming. The children come out happy and contented.
I have heard my older grandson talking about his friends at nursery and what he has been doing. Overall I have very positive views

and have just been to a lovely nativity play where all the children were included.

Our daughter has been at the nursery for more than three years. She is very happy there and the staff are excellent. There are lots of activities and events which she enjoys and have allowed us to get to know many of the other parents. Communication is very good we always get a thorough, honest handover

at the end of each day.

The nursery staff go above and beyond to support both children and parents. Handovers are always informative and the staff are always helpful when we have anything we want to talk about. My daughter is always excited to go to nursery and will run in of her own volition. Would highly recommend to anyone

looking for a nursery in the area.

We have been really pleased with the care that both of our children have received at the nursery. Our oldest is now three and has been at the nursery for two and a half years. The nursery staff have always been enthusiastic and cater for each child's individual needs. Our three-year-old is happy there

and enjoys the additional activities the nursery offers such as French and dance.
We have been particularly impressed by the baby room this time round, which provides a thorough handover each day.

Overall Experience

Willow Tree Nursery has been the best setting for my little girl since she was 2 1/2 years old. Not only does she love going to nursery but she has so much to do and learns so much everyday. All the key workers are so caring and attentive and I feel my girl is in the safest hands. In particular, two

staff members have taken the time to get to know my child on such a personal level that they each handover leaves me and my husband feeling happy our daughter has had a fulfilled day. We've recently welcomed another baby and when the time comes we will certainly be looking to send her to Willow Tree Nursery.

Overall Experience

The staff at Aldbourne Avenue Nursery were really committed to settling our girls into their new nursery. They made a real effort to get to know them as quickly as possible and make them feel safe and happy.
They've had regular parent's evenings to discuss their individual progress which has been really

informative and professional where key workers have clearly communicated excellent knowledge of our children.

Overall Experience

We are really pleased with The Avenue in Aldbourne. It is perfect for us as we can walk to it, and our daughter strolls in very happily three mornings a week. She has a few health considerations and the team have taken them on board and do not treat her any differently to the other children and happily

administer her meds without any fuss. There is always a cheery atmosphere and they seem to do lots of different entertaining activities.

We could not be happier with the care and attention our daughter gets and has always had at The Avenue. The staff are all very welcoming and know each child individually. Our daughter is so happy at nursery and has been attending since she was 9 months old. It is so nice to be able to leave her in such

a wonderful environment and a beautiful setting.

It can be really awful leaving your baby with strangers but the Avenue staff made it easier. All the staff at the Avenue, Aldbourne are caring, lovely, friendly people. I think the children all love them. I think the food they provide is really good and my son loves it there.

Overall Experience

Hands down, I recommend the Aldbourne Avenue day Nursery for your littleys.
As a first-time mum, I was very anxious to let my 17-month-old into someone else's care. Each member of staff is kind and friendly which, paired with a welcoming environment, was very reassuring. There is a parents' app where

they provide updates on what your nipper did/is doing throughout the day (nappy changes, what they ate, activities etc). Their website outlines the kids' 'menus' (which are prepared in-house) consisting of 3 balanced meals and snacks. Honestly, my sprog eats better than I do! This location has a large outdoor space in which the children can wander about and play every single day. Outside, they can play with trikes, climb the climbing frame or fiddle with the bark in tyres and so on. The staff provide play that helps with cognitive development too! Children get to investigate dry pasta and paint amongst other sensory items. I haven't seen any room for improvement so far. Very pleased!
