Fantastic Nursery

Willow House Nursery has provided our Daughter with the best childcare we could ask for since she first began in April 2023. The ethos is what we love. Everything they do is outstanding and all the staff are wonderful. We could not ask for better environment or such kind, caring and professional individuals.
We would highly recommend Willow House to other parents.

Wonderful Place

Honestly cannot speak highly enough about this nursery. From the staff to the facilities and communication, Beech House ticks every box.
My wife and I both work so not having to worry about preparing meals to take to nursery, or worry about additional nappies etc are huge loads off our minds.
Our son goes 3 days a week and has been since September 2022 - my wife and I honestly believe he prefers it at BH to home....
Highly recommend to anyone.

Willow House Nursery

Willow House Nursery has provided our son with the best possible childcare since he began attending there over a year ago. The staff are incredibly kind, caring and compassionate, whilst providing fantastic learning and development opportunities. Our son comes home each day happy and enriched. We receive daily communication and wonderful photos and videos via the Parent Zone app which gives us a lovely glimpse into his day.
The food is very healthy and our son has developed his independent eating skills. We never worry about him being hungry.
We couldn't be happier with our experience and would wholeheartedly recommend Willow House to other parents.

Willow House Nursery

Willow House Nursery has been wonderful for our daughter. Her development and growing self confidence has been a joy to see and we are so grateful to the staff members who are making this happen. They provide a supportive and nurturing environment where our little one can thrive.

The best decision we made.

The idea of needing to choose a nursery for our son when he was only a few weeks old in February 2016 was absolutely terrifying. I simply couldn't imagine being comfortable leaving him in someone else's care for hours and hours at a time. However, from the moment we viewed Beech House we knew that there was nowhere else we would send him. Fast forward quite a few years and our younger son recently left the same nursery to begin his school adventure - ready to learn, inquisitive, confident and sociable thanks to the truly outstanding care provided at Beech House and the opportunities the children receive at Woodlands Nursery Group nurseries. My son recently commented that 'he likes school, but the food at kindergarten was better' - and having experience of the incredible meals available to purchase from the Woodlands Kitchen that doesn't surprise me!
Both our children have very fond memories of things they did at Beech House - the trips they went on, the shows and celebrations, the singing, the games, the yoga, the wildplay, the language lessons - but it's the staff that they talk about the most and the staff who make the nursery such a wonderful place.
We feel incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to send our children to Beech House. They say that the first few years of a child's life are the most important and, if I were to do it all again, there's nowhere else I would want them to be.

Willow House has the wow factor!

Our 2 year old has been at Willow House for 3 days a week since February and we all loved it from Day 1. She has developed a strong love for learning through all the play orientated opportunties that Willow House provides, from sensory to sandpits, colouring to climbing to reading or role play, Willow House offers it all. The level of feedback/parent interaction we receive far exceeds other nurseries we've used and so we feel part of the nursery experience despite being working parents. We are regularly invited into events at the nursery (Book Day, Sports Day, Play day, Parents liaison meetings).The breakfast treats offered to parents on Mothers/Fathers Day are examples of how Willow House goes the extra mile with their service. I feel safe knowing I'm placing my child in an extremeley professional setting which has a high level of knowledge and experience and a proven track record of educating and caring for children. The staff are extremely friendly, approachable and professional, always having time to provide detailed handovers even down to relaying the little conversations that made them smile during the day. Highly recommend you visit this Nursery and see for yourself the high standard of care that could be offered to your child too!

Wonderful nursery

Wonderful nursery. Fantastic staff, food, space, activities. I always feel my kid is safe, stimulated and enjoying herself. Really glad our kid has had such a positive experience of nursery and will be well set up for school next September.

All three of my children have attended…

All three of my children have attended Beech House Nursery School. The staff have always been caring and attentive, taking the time to get to know each of my children and help them to get the most out of their time at Nursery.
The facilities and resources are second to none. A wonderful imaginative outdoor play area.
And the Kindergarten year is a real highlight, the Nativity and Leaving Ceremony are memories I will treasure for many years to come. Penny Powell

Fantastic nursery - 5 Stars!!

We are over the moon with how our little boy is doing at Willow House. He has just turned 18 months old and has been attending 3 days a week since it opened. He absolutely loves it there! The facilities are excellent - all clean and modern - and the sensory room is a particular favourite. The staff are all very professional, friendly, but most importantly; are fantastic with the little ones and constantly creating new and fun activities to do to keep them entertained. We really appreciate the daily updates with photos via the smartphone app to see what activities our little boy has been up to during the day. Communication from/with the nursery is excellent, with lots of opportunities for parents to get involved if they would like to. We would not hesitate to recommend Willow House to other parents - it’s a really wonderful nursery.

Beech House

Our son started Beech House in the summer & is already thriving. Being able to settle in small sessions with me & then by himself meant starting nursery was exciting. His independence & speech has grown noticeably in such a short amount of time. The level of care at Beech House is extremely high. The team have created such a nurturing learning environment. I especially appreciate the daily photos & videos to see what they’re up to.

Happy staff = Happy little people

We recently moved to Gloucester and so lucky Willow House had just opened so we managed to get in! Our daughter settled straight away, the standard of everything is superb, communication is 100% we couldn't have hoped for more. For us the one thing that stands out is the staff are happy and want to be there, it says it all, Team work makes the dream work.

Willowhouse Nursery is the best nursery

Willowhouse Nursery is nothing short of exceptional when it comes to early childhood education and care. As parents, we couldn't be happier with our decision to enroll both of our daughters here.

From the moment we first stepped through the door, we were greeted by a warm and welcoming environment. It's a place where learning and fun seamlessly blend together.

Every day, our little ones embark on exciting journeys of discovery. The range of activities they participate in is not only educational but also incredibly engaging. From arts and crafts to outdoor adventures, they are constantly stimulated and encouraged to explore their curiosities.

One of the standout features of Willowhouse Nursery is their dedication to keeping parents in the loop. We receive regular updates and photos of our children's activities and well-being. It's heartwarming to see their smiling faces as they learn and play.

But what truly sets Willowhouse Nursery apart is its remarkable staff. The educators here are not just professionals; they're like an extended family. Their love, care, and patience shine through in everything they do. It's evident that they genuinely care about the well-being and development of each child under their care.

Choosing a nursery can be a daunting decision for any parent, but with Willowhouse Nursery, we rest easy. It's not just a nursery; it's a place where our children are nurtured, cherished, and given the best start in life. If you're considering enrolling your children here, you can be confident that you're making the best choice for their future. Willowhouse Nursery is, without a doubt, the shining gem in the area, and we couldn't be more delighted to be a part of their wonderful community.

Tiny Tots for 2s

Our 2 year old son has been going to nursery here for over a year, we found that the staff went the extra mile to help him settle in. Activities
are always tailored to our sons needs, offerimg a huge variety of craft and outdoor activities. After pick up, our son always has a smile on his face and will babble continuously going home, about everything that's happened in his day.
Each week has a different theme, like dinosaurs, teddy bears picnics,transport. This term they have been taking Tots on a journey through themes from different cultures and countries.

Sessions will teach lessons of independence and self care, such as brushing teeth with giant models of gums, using mirrors and pictures to help learning.
We've loved how local artists have come in to do art weeks, where children got to draw round one another on giant pieces of paper then to decorate, to participated in sports days and party's with their classmates each semester.
Story time and books are a big part of their day, with songs, instruments and dance sessions being offered to all. Downstairs at Beech house is also a lovely soft play scramble area for kids to burn off steam when weather is not so good. The garden is sectioned off to different age groups, but the grounds offer a tarmac ride on vehicle zone, swings, slides and water play areas for set sessions.
We especially like how dinners are made from fresh ingredients in house and fruit snacks sre encouraged.
The nursery has massively helped with our child's confidence, motor skills and exposure to new things. Would recommend sending any little one along.

Fantastic nursery

Fantastic nursery. My little one goes to Beech House and she loves it there. Staff are so attentive and have helped her settle in so well since joining. They really care about the children and their individual needs. She is always doing lovely crafts and messy play which she loves. We get daily updates on the app to see what she is up to and she is always having a lovely time!

Our 2 children’s experiences

Both our son and daughter are at beech house nursery and I cannot speak highly enough of the nursery and the support and guidance they provide to both children and parents. I have found they have given our children a really solid foundation of education and socialisation, as well as also giving an extra dimension and feedback to being able to help with things like potty training. They also pay a lot of attention to your individual requests regarding nap times and other things that can help you out with your home routines. I must also give special credit to them for the way they have prepped our son for transitioning into school as he has transitioned really well and much of that is down to the foundation work that nursery have put in. Highly recommended

On the ball

We have had two children attend Beech House: one was academically advanced and one was born premature and with a few difficulties. Two boys and two opposites of the scale. Beech House has catered for their needs at their level and they have both developed into wonderful school-ready children in their care. The quality of the education and care provided has helped our boys to flourish and sets the standard in the local area.

The first and only nursery you will need look at.

Beech house has given our two daughters the best possible start that we could've asked for. From the smallest things to the biggest things, everything is always covered. The staff are kind friendly and attentive and always have a smile on their faces. From the first moment we stepped into Beech House Nursery we knew we had finished our search for a nursery setting for our children. The warm welcome and the sense of a homely setting were overwhelming. Our children always had and continue to have fun in their learning every time they go to nursery. We could not recommend the Woodlands nursery group highly enough. If you are looking for a nursery setting for your children start here and you need look no further.

Passionate beyond measure

Such a passionate, caring and nurturing nursery. Outstanding in countless ways from the educational themes to the food. We continue to be blown away by the activities and life lessons our daughter is taught each week.

The team go above and beyond to ensure the happiness, education and individuality of all the children.
