A Superior Education
For Artistic Minds

Your child’s future is setup in the first 6 years of development. At Willow we use the science of how best to develop young minds to give children a foundation that sets them up for life.

To ensure your child’s success, we focus on how best your child learns. Each child is different and responds to dedicated attention from highly qualified directors. Speak with our team and you’ll see a burning passion for this connection. Speak with the children and they’ll tell you how much they love coming to Redwood nursery. You have to see it for yourself to fully appreciate, this is no ordinary daycare.
Our specifically crafted natural environments stimulate your child’s creativity and give young minds the opportunity to find and refine the unique abilities that make them different and set them apart in the world. We teach them with an authentic Montessori, meaning they explore with their hands and develop a love for exploration and self-reliance in learning. A lifelong skill.

Our Mission

Inspiring Young Minds To Excel In Life

Since opening our nursery, Willow’s mission has been simple. To give children an authentic English education, ensuring their success later in life.

The value of our style of learning is that it’s multi-disciplinary. Meaning children aren’t learning one set of skills but having to pull it together, better preparing them for the real world. For this reason, Willow children have every tool they need to grow into self-reliant, pragmatic, and creative adults capable of facing any obstacle life throws at them.

Our Culture

Inspiring Creativity & Child-Directed Play

To stimulate creativity and free thinking, Willow children are fully absorbed by the projects they choose to take on from the moment they enter our nursery.

Your child will learn the structure of planning a project, merely receiving direction from our early learning practitioners. Each day is an opportunity to explore where children are fascinated by what they are doing, cultivating a love for learning in the process.

Our Approach - EYFS & Reggio Emilia

Optimise Learning & Brain Growth At Each Stage Of Development

At Willow we combine the best of two separate systems: the UK EYFS curriculum, and the child-led learning approach of Reggio Emlia.

We’ve found these two frameworks create the perfect combination. Our approach to early education enables children to discover a love for learning which will stay with them for life, helping them in their academic journeys.

At the same time, discover learning through child-led activities provides an open learning environment where children are free to explore and find the unique abilities that will set them apart in the world.

Every day we commit to provide children with the skills to fulfill their potential. From the moment you step foot into our nurseries, we will take care of your child as if it were our own. Our early learning practitioners are experts in fully engaging children’s minds while giving them the loving support they need to guarantee their rapid development. It’s no surprise parents are raving about Willow Nursery. Come see it for yourself.
