Willows Pre-School Colliers Wood offers high-quality early years education. It offers a unique learning environment that takes the best ideas from leading pedagogies and merges them with the most recent data from neuroscience. The result is a world-class setting where children thrive, and becoming kind, curious, resilient and engaged is inevitable.

More children from Willows have entered local world-class independent schools for over a decade, than from any other setting in SW London, moreover, in 2022, Willows had their most successful year yet. Children from Willows entered Wimbledon High, Putney High and Kensington Prep at record numbers. These World-Class schools are highly sought-after, and the competition for places is fierce. However, children consistently outperform their peers in these assessments, thanks to the excellent preparation they receive at Willows.

In addition to the excellent play-based programme, Willows also strongly emphasises social-emotional learning. There is significant published evidence that a combination of Nutrition, Gratitude, Exercise and Connecting in meaningful relationships modulates brain plasticity and is essential for children to develop the skills and abilities allowing them to navigate the challenges of life with confidence and grace.

Willows is one of only two settings in London to be awarded the SPECIALIST badge from the Early Years Nutrition Partnership. Willows has pioneered an evidenced approach to early years nutrition.

The teachers are top quality, my kids have always been very well looked after and the menu is rich in nutrition, varied and always eaten. I have sent both my kids there since 2020 and I haven't regretted it. I actually moved my son from another nursery to Willows four years ago and it made such a difference
in managing his ADHD and learning about his emotions. I would highly recommend it.

As a family, we absolutely adore Willows Colliers Wood.
The majority of the staff are the same now as when my son attended 3 years ago and we cannot praise them enough! The level of care they have shown our children is second to none. Willows feels part of our extended family and my children have both
thrived during their time there.
The activities and lessons are brilliant and varied, and such fun! My daughter runs in happily each morning. She also eats a fantastic varied diet of delicious-sounding meals, and her dietary requirements are always fully catered for.
The feedback and pictures we receive each week are thorough and informative. We love seeing what our little girl is up to each day. And the app is very user-friendly. We love the outdoor space and the setting in the park is brilliant and peaceful. The nursery deserves a new building though!

Willows provides excellent care, learning and activities for our daughter. The staff are exceptional, cannot fault them for anything but rather could call them out as incredibly dedicated and caring professionals. Our daughter benefits daily from their care, input, guidance and teaching. Whilst perfectly
good, Willows could benefit from a cash injection for their resources and facilities.

Willows Pre-School is loved by both of my sons, one who left the nursery recently to start school and another who started this year. The staff are friendly, helpful and great with the kids. They have helped my older son learn lots whilst having fun and are currently doing the same with my younger son.
Thank you!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.906)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.906) out of 10 for Willows Pre-School Colliers Wood 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 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.906 for Willows Pre-School Colliers Wood is calculated as follows: ( (251 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 276 Ratings = 4.906

  • 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 Willows Pre-School Colliers Wood is based on 23 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 50 number of registered child places is 10, which has been reached with 23 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.
