“Our son just had his last day here after spending 2 years at Appledore in Moorside. The staff are amazing and so caring of the children I felt confident and comfortable from the start to leave our son in their care. He loved and felt comfortable being left with Leanne Holly or Racheal he started the nursery a quiet reserved child and today you wouldn’t even know it, he is so confident and happy and I believe a big part of his progress has been the staff here I’m sad he has to now leave and move on. If your looking for a safe happy loving learning environment for your children I would recommend this nursery highly.”

“Charlotte looked after our two rabbits whilst we were away over Christmas and New Year. She was amazing with them both, and kept us updated with pictures and info each day. She saw to them twice a day, kept their areas tidy and cared for them like they were her own. She even went shopping to get extra veggies for them when needed. Would definitely use Charlotte again when we are away, and would recommend her to anyone!”

“Always friendly, excellent school”

“I massively underestimated this training! I had no idea of the transformational journey I would go on throughout the course. Each session would leave you hungry for more and loving Mondays waiting for the next session. The coaching pods are an invaluable tool to help you become better at coaching plus enabling you to be coached throughout the journey too. I went into this course wanting to focus on business coaching and grow my mentoring businesses but I'm also now exploring life coaching a lot more. Now I have completed the course and have received my certification I'm replying some of the lessons and learning even more again while also having a deeper understanding. It's a truly transformative course!”

“Our son started willow tree in October 2021 and has just graduated this week. From start to finish his time at willow tree has been so easy for us we have never had any worries about him there, its a fun, playful, nurturing and educational environment, from digging worms with eco warriors to learning sports and dance every week. The girls go above and beyond to make every child (and parents) feel so welcome. Everyday they will follow the childrens interest and allow them to pursue them further, such as our son loved Space and learnt lots of new facts from a day in Willow tree coming home with crafts that he chose to do. They are wonderful in every way and we are sad that our son’s time has come to an end at willow tree but they have made sure he is more than ready for reception. I would and will be doing recommending Willow tree pre school to anyone looking for an outstanding preschool.”
