In the years my daughter has been attending Willow Green, I have witnessed such an amazing growth of her confidence and personality. All aspects of her learning and development have exceeded my expectations thanks to the amazing staff and I could not want a better environment for my child.


My daughter

comes home very excited to tell me about her day's activities and what was the best part of her day. She enjoys spending time with her friends and has great relationships with her teachers and management staff. She is absolutely thriving and I know it is going to be very difficult for her to leave this year.


Thank you so much!

My daughter has been attending since August 2024 and I am so happy I chose Willow Green Day Nursery. My daughter was very clingy to begin with would cry if I even attempted to leave. I was fortunate to not be working when she started so I was able to work with a particular staff member to get my daughter
to feel comfortable and was able to stay with her and sneak off after a while. This lasted for a few weeks now my daughter is happy for me to leave straight away. Communication with each member of staff is great, friendly and you can tell each member of staff enjoys being there and they all have time to talk to you and your child, always happy to see you and your child (Which is lovely) help and answer any questions I might have. I enjoy coming into the nursery the atmosphere is really nice and this took away any anxieties I had at first with my daughter starting at the nursery.

My daughter has come on so much since attending.
I would highly recommend this nursery.

My child has attended Willow Green since she was 16 months old. The staff are amazing, nurturing and attentive. Very quickly it became clear they take time to get to know each child individually. They encourage reaching milestones and are supportive to parents. It is evident that safeguarding is of
utmost importance and the safety and wellbeing of all children is a priority. I am always jealous of how delicious the menu is and my child enjoys delicious, fresh meals.

Reply from Rebecca Pfitzman, Nursery Manager at Willow Green Day Nursery

Thank you for your lovely words. We are so happy that you and your child are happy with the care provided. We aim to make sure we provide the best care we can for the children and to make you as parents/cares feel comfortable.

My Daughter attends this nursery and It has been amazing to watch the relationships with staff she is forming and receiving the pictures off her playing with other children and enjoying the activities they put out for her.
The nursery its self is absolutely spotless which is one of the things i was
looking for when finding the most suitable one for my Daughter. The staff are brill with her as she had never been away from me before and I was very anxious about leaving her however, they update me all through out the day which is really really nice to see.

Reply from Rebecca Pfitzman, Nursery Manager at Willow Green Day Nursery

Willow Green nursery is a brilliant nursery, all of the staff are so welcoming, kind and can't do enough for us as parents as well as for the children. We've been made to feel part of the family, so welcome and nothing is too much trouble. It seems that all of the children in the setting are very happy
and occupied and the activities planned each day are amazing. I love that the children go outdoors a lot too! I can't fault this setting it's definitely the best nursery my children have attended, and as a level 6 child care practitioner myself I think it's fantastic.

Reply from Rebecca Pfitzman, Nursery Manager at Willow Green Day Nursery

Thank you so much for your lovely words. We thrive off making sure that the children are experiencing lots of activites to help them in their learning and development. We want to make sure all parents and carers feel at ease when they come into our setting.

All three of my children have been to this nursery, so going back to 2016 up to today. I have always liked the nursery and never had any problems, however since the nursery has been taken over and changed names it's even better, it's cleaner and looks miles better. The staff are also friendly. They
have helped me out so much in some situations. I am grateful and I will be devastated when my son eventually leaves!

I couldn't have wished for a better nursery for my 1 year old daughter. The staff are amazing who keep you updated on the app by sending pictures and notifications which is amazing and reassuring. My daughter has a dairy intolerance and the staff have gone above and beyond to ensure that her meals are
catered accordingly. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.929)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.929) out of 10 for Willow Green Day Nursery 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 4.929 for Willow Green Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (221 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 238 Ratings = 4.929

  • 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 Green Day Nursery 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 63 number of registered child places is 12.6, 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.
