Set in a Victorian house on a quiet residential road in Sale.

Extensive play resources excite and inspire children to play and learn together or independently. With an abundance of adventures and experiences including music, dance, art, design, cooking, sport and play, every child can learn naturally through enjoyment and socialising with others.

They have a large garden and local gardens a few minutes’ walk away where the children benefit from forest school and ensure that they are able to spend a good deal of time outdoors in the fresh air.

They run a teacher-led EYFS curriculum, this ensures that learning is fun and rewarding. The qualified team uses creative approaches indoors and out to develop key skills which help the children towards school readiness.

Parents are encouraged to close involvement with the Tapestry app which holds daily updates from children’s key workers showing achievements, news and always a weekly menu.

Menus at the nursery are checked and approved by a registered dietitian and they always try to use locally sourced fresh ingredients which results in healthy flavoursome meals.

Small friendly nursery with a low turnover of staff which means the team really get to know your child well as they progress through the nursery.
My son has had some dietary needs and allergies and the nursery has been great in managing his allergy and accommodating his diet.
Overall, very pleased
with the nursery, they have really supported and encouraged his development as well as reassuring me.

Happitots is a beautiful setting for children. The staff are all great and work so hard with the children and have great relations with the parents. Our son loves going here and asks to go each day.
They offer a huge variety of activities and link brilliantly with calendar events. The outside space
for play is great for the children and offers loads to explore.
The food is great and full of variety for all ages.
We would recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a loving and fun environment for their child to go to.

We are very happy with Happitots and the progress our son has made. The staff are all very caring and professional and he enjoys his time here making friends and having fun. I think it would be nice for my son to be taken outside of nursery for some activities but that may be when he is older.

Sent all my 3 children to Happitots and they all had wonderful experiences!
Staff team are so welcoming, kind and caring and interacted so wonderfully with them all - even the older children once they left for big school were always made a fuss of.
Activities offered were fab!! Definitely things I
would not have wanted to do at home on my beige carpet!!
Would definitely recommend!

Fantastic nursery with professional and caring staff who genuinely take an interest in a child's development and well being. My child is very happy here, she is well stimulated with properly designed activities and plenty of outdoor play. I would not hesitate to recommend Happitots to anyone.

Our son attends three days a week, he loves it, so very happy and at twelve months is developing so well with the staff support and cuddles as well as their structured learning plans. His two key workers are fantastic. As an organisation they are very accommodating to your needs, the children's environment
is great and the activities are a joy to read on the daily feedback sheets given. His learning is well managed however the fun element is always seen from room to room, it's name is perfect for my son,as he is a happitot!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.896)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.896) out of 10 for Willow Tree Day Nursery and Nursery School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.896 for Willow Tree Day Nursery and Nursery School is calculated as follows: ( (215 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 240 Ratings = 4.896

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Willow Tree Day Nursery and Nursery School is based on 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 61 number of registered child places is 12.2, which has been reached with 20 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
