Willow is fantastic, my youngest attends regularly and my eldest in half term, they both adore it and literally run off and straight in. The team are fantastic, they always have great activities out or planned. I have nothing but praise for them all. The nursery itself is always clean and the layout
is amazing.
10/10, we love Willow! A home from home!

Cannot fault them! My son got admitted with possible anaphylactic reaction in November so as you can imagine I was extremely anxious about him going anywhere without me. The girls are amazing at letting me know if he has had anything new to eat or come into contact with anything new.
They are friendly
and approachable, only on the other end of the phone.
So so happy with the care that my son receives.

This nursery is a blessing in my life as they take such good care of my daughter there. I do not have a single issue or complaint and only have praises for how this place has been run.
They are the most loving and caring second family my daughter could get. She absolutely loves going there and thoroughly
enjoys herself.
She has been an extremely shy child always but the only other place my daughter feels comfortable is at Willow Daycare. Her social skills have improved so much since she began here and is now more confident amongst other kids.
They are accomodating to our needs, understand our situations and are always ready to help when we as parents need it.
In short, this is a second home for our daughter and we are more than happy to send her there comfortably with no regrets.

Excellent nursery! Have zero complaints! The staff are amazing, the setting is always clean and tidy, loads of stuff for the children to keep busy - learning a lot along the way!
My little one has come on so well since starting at Willow Daycare. His confidence, speech and knowledge have greatly improved!
Can't complain about the fees - also think it's brilliant that they offer discounts for NHS staff, which has no doubt helped many parents/carers, especially throughout the pandemic.
Honestly have no complaints and would 100% recommend Willow Daycare to anyone.

My little boy is always asking to go and play in Willow Daycare! He is always happy coming home from there and chatting about it as there is so much choice of play and a fantastic variety of activities on offer daily. The photos I receive of him on the app always show him having fun and smiling!

My sons are in each part of the nursery and both love going there! The use of the app is great to see how your child is getting on through the day and the fact the food is served vegetarian is also a great initiative and encourages them to eat a more varied diet. They love doing crafts and playing outside
and all the staff are friendly, helpful and attentive. The manager is amazing, kind and great with the kids and always replies efficiently! I've never had a problem fitting them in and it’s great to have a sibling discount! Fab all around!

My job means I work away a lot of the time. The constant updates on the app are amazing and I can see how happy my daughter is getting on in the nursery, doesn’t matter where I am in the world. My daughter is always at her happiest when she leaves nursery and it just proves how much of an amazing job
they do.

Very good communication between staff and parents on handover and throughout the day via the Famly app. Lots of different activities for children to enjoy. A variety of different foods throughout the week which my daughter loves. Management within the nursery is excellent. My daughter thoroughly enjoys
attending nursery and is comfortable being there all day while I’m at work. Would definitely recommend Willow Daycare.

Felt so nervous to begin with leaving my son in daycare due to returning to work. The staff are so lovely, accommodating and reassuring. They send regular updates on the app and send lots of photos which makes me feel at ease. Love seeing what activities they've been up to during the day. I feel confident
dropping him off knowing he's in great hands. Couldn't ask for more from a childcare provider.

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.
