Our little boy only goes to nursery once a week and is often upset on drop off. He has started to settle down through the day is visibly starting to enjoy nursery more. The updates the nursery put on through the day about his meals, sleep and photos of things he's been getting up to are invaluable to us. All the stuff know him by name, despite only going once a week.

Little Willows are always so accommodating to us as a family. Whenever we have needed extra help or support with regards to having our child in for an extra day they have been happy to help. Our daughter thoroughly loves going to nursery and the transition from home to joining nursery has been a smooth one thanks to the caring and kind staff.

My daughter has attended this nursery since 14 months old and is thriving. They were extremely accommodating of her disability and have become one of her biggest ambassadors. They adapt activities for each child's ability, allowing all children to join in. My son has now joined too. The food is accommodating for allergies and dietary requirements and the nursery managed to help my son on an amazing nap schedule after I'd struggled at home. They both come home happy, having had a fun-filled day in the sandpit, the garden, the tuff trays, playing in the home corner or at the art table. They've made some lovely friends and the nursery is excellent at organising activities relevant to current events, they've just celebrated Chinese New Year and Valentine's Day with themed activities and we are looking forward to National Love Your Pet Day this week in circle time. The staff are lovely and genuinely care about the kids, we often see staff out and about and they're so happy to see them.

My child has attended the nursery for over a year and has thrived in the setting. It makes such a difference when your child looks forward to going to nursery! Keeping the parents up to date with daily activities and photos gives peace of mind throughout the day and always coming home with crafts and lots of chatter about what they have done today. Lovely staff who made my child really feel settled. Really happy with our choice of nursery and would recommend to others!

We love Little Willows Kindergarten and would highly recommend it to anyone in the area. The staff are friendly and welcoming, dietary requirements are accommodated and our son gets to take part in plenty of fun activities during his sessions. The site feels tucked-away and secure which really puts my mind at ease. Little Willows has really helped our son develop his confidence, independence and social skills. He's always excited for his sessions, I'm so glad we picked this nursery.

My daughter attends one day a week and she always seems to have such a lovely time. She picks up new words and songs regularly and I never worry when leaving her. There's an app that gets updated throughout the day and it's nice to see the things she gets up to. She has a genuine relationship with the staff members who care for her. The outside space is limited although looks lovely and well cared for. The food options sometimes seem simple but they do change regularly. Would love it if the app was updated more regularly but would prefer the staff aren't stretched in trying to keep it updated.

We've been with Little Willows Kindergarten since 2019, with both of our children attending, and I can't recommend it highly enough. The staff are fantastic, so caring, attentive, and dedicated to creating a nurturing environment. Our son had such a wonderful time there that he was genuinely sad to leave when he moved on to primary school. His graduation ceremony was such a special and thoughtful event, a perfect send-off that we'll always remember. Now, our daughter absolutely loves attending, and she has formed such a strong bond with her key worker. It's clear that the team put so much effort into making every child feel valued and supported. The nursery also goes the extra mile to create magical experiences, from the fabulous Christmas carols to all the fun activities they organise throughout the year. We feel so lucky to have found such a warm, welcoming place for our children's early years. A huge thank you to the team at Little Willows for everything you do.

The staff have been amazing and accommodating with getting our baby settled in and making sure they know his routine to make the transition as smooth as possible. We feel really comfortable leaving our baby with the staff at Little Willows and love how bright and spacious the building is!

From the moment we walked in, we felt the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff are incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely care about the children's well-being and development. My daughter absolutely loves going each day, and it's wonderful to see how much she has grown in confidence and learning.

I could not recommend Little Willows enough! The staff are brilliant and amazingly supportive. My SEN son attended for 2 years, and Little willows couldn't have been more accepting and accommodating. It's a lovely comforting environment for children and parents. We loved it and were genuinely sad to leave.

My son has been attending Little Willows for the past 18 months, and we couldn't be happier! The staff are absolutely wonderful, so warm, caring, and attentive. They provide a fantastic range of activities throughout the day. My little one always comes home excited to share what they've been up to! The nursery does a great job of keeping parents informed with regular updates and photos, and the nursery frequently invites parents to join in on special sessions and events. It's such a welcoming and nurturing environment!

A great little nursery. Well run, with friendly management and staff. Always communicative. My child loves going and has improved their education significantly. Sometimes the meals they have seem to be very basic but overall extremely happy with this nursery.

My daughter has been attending Little Willows since September of last year. She is 2 and loves her 2 days a week there. The staff are so friendly, and we are kept up to date on the app with everything that goes on so we know she is safe and in good hands. This is really important for us, as she has a condition that has to be treated with medication throughout the day. We can see that she is thriving, and her time here plays a major part in that. So glad we chose this place for our little girl.

My little boy started Little Willows in Sept 2024 and in just 5 months he has completely grown in every way! He'd attended another nursery previously and couldn't last more than 3 hours without becoming too upset, at little willows he was so comfortable instantly and has never struggled with the 8-4 days! He's made so many friends and has developed so many new skills, he absolutely loves nursery and is always so excited to go in and see everyone! The communication with staff is better than I could've imagined and it's so lovely to not worry whether or not he's enjoying himself. I can't recommend Little Willows enough!

My daughter has been attending Little Willows since we transferred her from another nursery aged 2 years old. We immediately noticed a huge difference in the level of care and education she received. I genuinely couldn't recommend this nursery enough. Both the management team and staff are excellent and I genuinely believe they care for the children who attend. My daughter has thrived during her time here and is more than well-prepared to attend primary school this September. Many thanks.

My daughter has been attending Little Willows now for over a year. She loves going and enjoys all the activities. The nursery are always organising exciting events for the children and includes the parents as much as they can. Staff are lovely and my daughter feels comfortable when she is there. She has come on lot in her development since increasing from one day to two days per week. I honestly wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery to others!

Only been using Little Willows Kindergarten since September but our little girl loves it. We receive regular updates on the app of what she has has eaten throughout the day as well as nappy changes. The only thing to make it better would be more updates and pictures on what activities she gets up to throughout the day. All of the staff are lovely and so welcoming, nothing is ever a bother. Our daughter has additional medical needs and the staff have been great and so accommodating when it comes to her care and needs. Looking forward to the next 12 months as I know she will come on with her development even more.
