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!

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

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.

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.

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

My son has recently started at the nursery and has had a great experience so far. He is happy and well looked after. 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.

I cannot praise Purple Willows Nursery enough, it is an outstanding nursery and our son loves going to the nursery and run in each day excited. All the children seems happy when our son started and this gave us hope and reassurance. The staff are respectful and caring, and they have played a huge part
in our son’s development and our lives so thank you. We love the daily updates and photos on the app. They are amazing!

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.

We are really happy with the nursery, our child is enjoying it a lot. He has grown some special bonds with some of his teachers and a few of his classmates and become a very confident little boy. He loves all the activities but especially the garden activities. He also loves helping to make play-doh.
He is very happy to go there each day. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

Since starting in February, my daughter has loved going to Purple Willows. She’s always talking highly of all the staff and how much fun she’s had through the day. She comes out beaming, excited to tell me what she’s been up to. All staff are very friendly and welcoming. Lovely little garden for the
children to play in, and great facilities. Have not had a single issue and would recommend to anyone!

My son started at the nursery in September 2020 and was cared for in the baby room, they helped him settle into the nursery so well and made the process so easy for us. In March 2021, he transitioned to the toddler room, and again the settling was so smooth. He loves going to nursery and we are so pleased
with how he is looked after and the variety of activities he does when he’s there. The feedback we get about his days on the app and when we pick him up is always wonderful to hear. We would highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a wonderful and caring community for your baby or toddler.

We absolutely love this nursery, the staff are so focused on the well-being of the children, over and above everything else and this really shines through in every interaction. My son loves attending and he is excited every day to be there. The staff are incredible, even when it might not have been
a great day for my son, they deliver the news in a way that includes us, this gives me confidence they are dealing with it appropriately and probably better than I could. They also offer help to manage similar situations at home. He has really developed his social skills, listening, paying attention and being kind through the staff's patience, influence and approach. They are just as focused as we are on readiness for primary school and he is prepared for what to expect, it has been a fantastic start to his schooling. We have experience of another, more expensive setting. Purple Willows Day Nursery Nuxley Village is exceptional in comparison and as a bonus, also cheaper. Love the team.

Current Review Score: 7.7 (7.744)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.7 (7.744) out of 10 for Purple Willows Day Nursery Nuxley Village is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.2 out of 5 from 2 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 4.514 for Purple Willows Day Nursery Nuxley Village is calculated as follows: ( (26 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 35 Ratings = 4.514

  • 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 3.23 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Purple Willows Day Nursery Nuxley Village is based on 2 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 = 3.125

    • 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 95 number of registered child places is 19. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 19 = 0.105

  • 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.
