My son loves going here. The whole team is amazing and really care about each child's needs. They provide regular updates, photos and feedback which makes me feel involved in my kid's day to day activities. Highly recommended.

The care and compassion all the staff give are second to none in the nursery. After moving my boy from one nursery to Willow Daycare Ltd I was quite nervous leaving him but he has come on leaps and bounds. All the staff are so reassuring and keep in touch constantly to inform me of his day. The activities
they have planned for the children daily are fantastic, not only fun but educational too. I love hearing about his day when he comes home as he always tells me he's had so much fun and 'eaten lots of yummy foods.
My only regret is that I didn't find you sooner. Keep being the absolute dream team you are.

We are so happy with the care our child receives at Willow's. He settled so well which put our minds at ease. The staff all go above and beyond. The communication on the app is great and always have lots of lovely photos at the end of the day and hear all about their day. We are so glad we chose Willow's,
our child is happy going to nursery every morning they attend and loves all the staff. They are always so quick to respond to any queries. Thanks so much for all you do!

My daughter has been attending at Willows for over almost 18 months now and the staff have been extraordinary with her care. They go above and beyond for her and I couldn't ask for a better nursery setting. The staff are very professional but can also be very kind and empathetic. If I could rate higher
than a 5 star I would. A home from home.

My eldest son went to Willow and my youngest is currently still there. I can't speak highly enough of the team. It's great to see the daily updates of their varied activities. They are very professional whilst also being personable to the children. Clearly a well-run and managed team of staff. We went
to the open day last year and got to see around the nursery and all the different activity areas. There was so much to take in, no wonder they loved going there. I take my hat off to all the staff choosing this as their profession and it's nice to leave our children in such competent and trusted hands.

I am absolutely delighted with the exceptional care and love provided by Willow Day Care. The staff are warm, friendly, and truly dedicated to providing a nurturing environment for the children. What impresses me most is the staff's ability to tailor their care to each child's unique needs and personality.
They take the time to listen, comfort, and encourage, making every child feel valued and loved. As a parent, it's reassuring to know that my child is in good hands. I highly recommend Willow Care to any family seeking a trustworthy and caring nursery.

Lovely staff, very happy and engaging. My child does not raise any concerns regarding the care she receives (she is very vocal, so she would say!). She comes home very happy, telling me about all the things she has done/learnt. Her Welsh speaking is impoving already just from twice-a-week attendance.
Regular updates via app which helps us anxious parents. Only positive feedback from me! Thank you for all that you do Willow Daycare x

I cannot recommend this nursery enough. Every single member of staff are fab. Both our boys have thrived at this nursery.
We moved to this nursery after having lost our space in another due to it suddenly closing down and it was honestly the best thing to have happened to us as Willow Nursery goes
above and beyond and is the most flexible nursery that we've come across.
The nursery keeps us up to date with pictures throughout the day of what they're up to, a log of what they've eaten and each nappy change.
Willow Daycare really does stand out from all the rest in and around Carmarthen. The best nursery in Carmarthen.

The nursery excels in being flexible and providing the highest level of care. They know the children so well and when extra care is needed they go over and above to provide it, and ensure trust. They adapt and deal with requests such as changing days/work patterns.

I cannot recommend Willow Daycare highly enough. All the staff are fantastic and so caring, you almost feel like you are dropping your child off with a family member. They send lots of pictures and details of what your child has done throughout the day with lots of activities available to support your
child's development. The management team are really approachable/friendly and always do their best to accommodate requests etc. Thank you to all at Willow for everything you do.

My son has attended Willow Daycare for a few months and I honestly couldn't recommend this nursery enough. All of the staff are so friendly, lovely and welcoming. Nothing is too much trouble for this lovely team, they are fast to respond to any messages, sometimes parents/carers just need some reassurance
and the team go above and beyond to help. My boy always has fun-filled days and has learnt so much from this nursery, it is a joy to see what educational and fun activities he takes part in when he's there. He eats regularly and is offered a fantastic healthy variety of meals and snacks throughout his days at nursery. Thank you to all of the team at Willow Daycare!

We have been so impressed with Willow Daycare. The staff are approachable, welcoming and seem to genuinely care for the little people they look after. The activities are varied and we can really see how our little boy's attendance has hugely developed his social, speech and motor skills. The staff are
very accomodating, especially as our little boy had a number of intolerances and they have been truly amazing at providing nutritious and delicious meals and snacks in line with his needs. One of the other reasons we love Willow is their communication on the app. It is updated regularly with their food, nappies and sleeping. We also get daily pictures and a detailed run-through of their day and activities.
We couldn't be happier with the care our little boy receives, he absolutely loves going to Willow, and we look forward to sending our 3-month-old daughter there in due course.

Willow Daycare are absolutely wonderful- my daughter has been going since she was 1 and has just transitioned to half day school and Willow continue to be fantastic, facilitating drop-offs on days that I can't. They are flexible and fun and my daughter cannot wait to go every day. She'll miss it when
she starts full-time school! Only have brilliant things to say about this daycare, don't know what I would have done without them.

Can't fault Willow Nursery in any way. We have a 1-year-old and a 3-year-old boy in with them. They joined when they were 6 months old and have come on leaps and bounds. They absolutely love going, and have made so many friends, picked up various skills, learnt songs, tried new foods that we wouldn't
generally make at home, and have a brilliant time. Willow have prepared our 3-year-old for school in the sense that he is so confident in going and joining in with everything. The transition from crèche to nursery has been so smooth. They take him to school on particular days too which is very helpful to us. We appreciate the work all the staff put in, and how flexible and accommodating the management are if one of our boys is sick and can't come in, or if we need to change the hours or days that they attend. The best crèche in Carmarthen area no doubt.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.969)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.969) out of 10 for Willow Daycare Ltd is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 40 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 40 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 4.969 for Willow Daycare Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (467 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 480 Ratings = 4.969

  • 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 Daycare Ltd is based on 40 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 53 number of registered child places is 10.6, which has been reached with 40 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.
