Inclusion & environment
All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), have exceptional opportunities to be independent and make choices. The management team and staff provide warm, calm and quiet areas as well as a sensory room, tailored to children's educational needs. Each child with SEND has a highly motivated key person, who expertly implements their individual education plan. Staff establish exceptional partnerships with other professionals, such as speech and language therapists. Each small achievement children make is praised, shared and celebrated by all.
The outdoor environment provides children with numerous learning opportunities and offers many experiences and activities. Children learn to take risks in the natural environment, developing their confidence, strength and physical skills by enthusiastically running up and down hills and climbing trees.
Two Willows has been a wonderful place for my daughter. The care and attention she received helped her grow in confidence, creativity, and independence. She loved the messy play, outdoor games, dressing up, and all the fun activities like yoga and forest school. Thank you to all the amazing staff for truly caring for my daughter and supporting her so warmly. We’ll always be grateful for the time she spent here.

We have sent all 3 of our boys to two willows and they have all loved it and been happy there from day 1 as babies until they went to school. The staff are so friendly and caring, they genuinely love the children. They encourage the children to learn, to play and to make new friends. They learn life skills but also start on their educational journey. We couldn’t recommend it more.

Friendly and understanding staff. My daughter loves going to nursery every day. Healthy snacks and great dental hygiene scheme, fun activities and lots of room to run around and explore outdoors in the wild gardens. They even have chickens that the children get to help feed and touch. Couldnt recommend a nursery more.

Over the last 9 years, all three of our boys have attended Two Willows. The care and attention they have received has always been excellent. We would highly recommend Two willows to anyone looking for a place for their child.

I think this nursery is perfect for all types of children - my daughter was very timid and shy but she settled well with regular familiar faces - only down side is that the app they use to post photos and update is good but rarely updated with photos. Would really prefer that to be updated with photos. Staff are lovely though and really understanding
