My son has been going to this nursery for 3 months and he loves it. I've seen a massive change in my son daily, he has come on so much, he's learning new things every day that he then comes home to show us, the staff are lovely to talk to and always on board if you have any concerns! Always welcomed
at the nusery, everyone makes you feel at home. Also seen a big improvement in his eating and interest in eating more healthy options.

Clean, well-organised nursery. Staff are exceptionally pleasant and welcoming and always make the children feel special. Accommodating for all children's needs and feedback is regular. Activities are varied and my child often brings things home for mummy and daddy that he has made during the day. Play
outside is often and children get involved in good outdoor activities.

My daughter has attended Willowdene since she was 8 months old. She is now 3. Nursery is always welcoming like a big family. My daughter is always happy and full of stories to tell me about her day. (What she has done, pictures to show me).

The staff at Willowdene have been great at helping my baby settle in. As a breastfeeding mother, I worried how my baby would cope without a feed from the breast. The girls were gentle and loving, cuddling him to sleep when he became upset.
They quickly got to know my son and what made him happy. If
in doubt about anything they never hesitate to call me. Willowdene has a really family feel about it. My boy loves going and has come on so much since he started.

My twins are very settled and happy here. They seem to have formed attachments to several members of the nursery staff and their confidence has grown in leaps and bounds since starting to attend here.
The staff are friendly, happy to chat about how the children are doing and progressing and keen to
share stories about their day. The also treat both children as individuals rather than as one of a pair. My little boy has food intolerances and the staff have worked closely with me to manage this, both in terms of avoiding dairy and soya containing foods and in managing a gradual reintroduction of these food items.
The only criticism I have is that there are often delays in receiving the invoice and I have had to send it back on several occasions due to errors.

Reply from Emma Aitken, Marketing at Partou Willowdene Day Nursery & Pre-school

Thanks for your feedback. It’s great to hear that your twins have settled in well at Willowdene. We have just launched a new system across all our nurseries which will minimise any future invoice errors.

Our little girl has been there since aged one. The introduction days were excellent and now at age nearly two she has come on leaps and bounds. The staff are friendly and helpful and the meals are excellent. No fuss with childcare vouchers and good value for money.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.436)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.436) out of 10 for Partou Willowdene Day Nursery & Pre-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 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 9 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 4.944 for Partou Willowdene Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (102 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 108 Ratings = 4.944

  • 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 4.492 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Partou Willowdene Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 9 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 = 3.9

    • 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 76 number of registered child places is 15.2. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 15.2 = 0.592

  • 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.
