The nursery is so amazing! I moved my son here after he wasn't settling it at another nursery. They have been so welcoming and nurturing and since he's made such incredible progress. The carers there are very patient and understanding. I love how they keep me updated with his day, informing me of his
progress constantly and really helping with his potty training. I would definitely recommend this nursery to anyone in the area!

we've had a fantastic experience with this nursery. My son is always excited to go and brings home lovely, creative art every week.

I think that the teachers at the nursery are great and provided my child with the right tools, experiences, attention that is needed at their age. Over the years there have been ups and downs with the nursery, however the majority of the issues were solved by pushing, sometimes quite regularly, for
catch-ups with teachers and management and talking through solutions. Unfortunately, not everything was sorted, especially a few very important issues related to fees, hidden costs, and communication with top management, completely absent and evasive to talking with parents. It is literally impossible to talk with the Director, and get something changed/improved if it means their direct involvement.

Reply from Roland Tandoh, Director at Purple Willows Day Nursery Nuxley Village

Thank you for your feedback. It brings me great joy to hear that our staff have positively impacted your child's life. As for the concerns about financial transparency and management accessibility, they are unfortunate indeed. I want to reassure you, though, that we pride ourselves on maintaining transparency in all our affairs, especially when it comes to fees. Our records show that we have been diligent in clarifying the government funding criteria to you and have made efforts to provide clear information on our website. It is worth noting that as with all nurseries, our fees and services are regularly scrutinised by the local authority to ensure compliance with all guidelines laid out for funding, an area in which we consistently meet the mark. Regarding communication, please know that our nursery manager and senior staff are always available to address any concerns you may have. The nursery manager will be reaching out to schedule a meeting with you to resolve any remaining issues.

Our child has been attending Purple Willows for 6 months now, and he has settled very well, he is happy to go into the setting every morning and feels safe with all the staff. On a daily basis, we received a report of what he has done and he really looks to be enjoying himself! He does various activities
that really support and develop his motor skills, he is learning songs and words at PW, with the support of the nursery staff. PW really does know my son, they have picked up on his personality and attributes very well. I have great comfort dropping my son to PW, knowing he will be well looked after and happy!

I cannot recommend Purple Willows Nursery enough! The staff are warm, welcoming, and truly care about my child's development. I love that the staff work well with me to support my child and her needs. The facilities are well-kept, and they offer a great balance between education and fun. My child loves
the activities, from creative arts, sensory room play to outdoor playtime, and I have seen significant progress in their social and learning skills. I love the fact they incorporate different cuisines from around the world, e.g. Asian, Caribbean and African like Jollof. As a parent, knowing your child is in such great hands brings incredible peace of mind, I would personally recommend.

We are very happy here. The team go out of their way to help the children settle in and take time to know their likes and dislikes.
Drop-offs get easy when you can see how much fun they have with their friends and teachers.
Thank you for all you do.

The staff are friendly and show how much they care for the children at the nursery. There are different activities everyday for the children to take part in. The app is great for seeing
what he is up to whilst I am at work.

I cannot recommend Purple Willows enough. My son has been attending for 5 months and in this short time he has learnt a lot, and his speech and confidence have improved so much. All members of staff are friendly, caring and supportive, and all of the activities my son does are well-organised and enjoyable.
I love seeing how much he has developed and progressed since attending Purple Willows. They are very thorough with keeping parents up to date with meals, activities, nappy changes and photos, via an app.

My overall experience was honestly beautiful, at first, I was scared about dropping my little one off on his first day, I had a lot of thoughts go through my mind. Will he enjoy his time and feel loved at the nursery, will they take care of him? All my fears were put to rest, after seeing how happy
my son was each time we were going to drop him off made me happy. They have such a lovely group of teachers who take time to teach and care for the kids. Thanks to staff for making my little one feel so welcomed and loved, he misses you lot.

Although it took a while for my son to settle due to lockdown, he is now happy being dropped off and loves his key person! His key person always takes time to speak with me about my son's progress as well as update me regularly via the app! The staff are all friendly and the manager is approachable.
My son eats better at nursery than he does at home and talks about the wonderful activities they do which I get to see via the photos that are sent. I always see a staff member cleaning the major touchpoints so I know they are hygienic. I would like to be able to go inside and see the environments and facilities where my son plays and learns, however, I appreciate this is difficult at the moment. I would also like to receive a newsletter or activity planner to see what is taking place at the nursery on a monthly/quarterly basis. Overall, we highly recommend the nursery and feel confident and happy leaving our son here.

My daughter started Purple Willows Day Nursery Nuxley Village almost from the moment they opened. We absolutely loved the facilities and staff working there. She always were coming home happy and happily went back. Can’t miss the fact and big thank you to nursery staff for raising their concerns about
her vision. We took her to doctor and she actually really needed glasses. Who knows how long we would keep thinking that she is just clumsy by running into things. Really looking forward to her little sister joining nursery soon.

As a first time mum, I was really anxious about my baby girl starting nursery at 7 months old so that I could return to work but the staff at Purple Willows were amazing and were able to answer all my questions which put me at ease. On her 1st day staff were brilliant not only did they comfort my daughter
but comforted me with reassurance and updates. My daughter loves it at nursery and has settled so quickly with her key worker. The nursery rooms are lovely and spacious with plenty of resources and toys for her to enjoy from what I can see. The parent app is great as I get to see updates throughout the day and get to see observations and photos of the activities she is getting involved in. Even though my daughter is in one particular room all the staff know her and we are always greeted by a friendly and smiley staff member.

We have been very happy with Purple Willows so far. Joining during a lockdown was a difficult time. I had hoped to see the nursery in action before my child started, but Covid regulations wouldn't allow this. The online app and regular contact/feedback from those working with my son helped ease my anxieties
greatly.
He quickly settled and was happy to walk in, often without looking back (whilst I held back the tears!).
I'm still looking forward to the day when parents can visit and see their child with their friends and key workers. For now, though, videos and photos of my boy are lovely to see.
