Inspector highlights
Areas to develop
Inclusion & environment
Staff support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) well. They review children's stages of development and meet with parents and other agencies to discuss targets and what they can work on together. This helps to provide good continuity of care. Staff plan a good-quality curriculum, adapting activities to support children's individual targets.
Staff make good use of the outside space to support children's physical development. Children enjoy learning to move in different ways, such as following instructions to identify and then jump between different-coloured hoops.
I couldn’t be happier with my experience at Mulberries & Willows. From my son's very first day, the staff have been incredibly welcoming, caring, and super helpful. It’s clear they truly love what they do, and it shows in how they interact with the children and parents each day. My son has grown so much in confidence, independence, and social skills since starting here. The daily activities are fun, educational, and thoughtfully planned. I also really appreciate the regular updates and photos, which gives me a window into his day. The environment is safe, nurturing, and well-organized, and the communication with parents is always clear and supportive. It gives me peace of mind knowing my son is in such good hands. Thank you to everyone at Mulberries & Willows for creating such a positive and enriching environment. I highly recommend it to any parent looking for exceptional early years care.
Read on GoogleMulberries and Willows is truly the best nursery we’ve ever experienced! The staff are absolutely incredible, caring, professional, and always full of warmth. They organize so many wonderful messy play activities that my son adored. When he first joined, he didn’t speak a single word of English, but within just four months he had learned enough to feel completely comfortable in an English-speaking environment. By September, he started school with confidence, and I’m sure this smooth transition was thanks to the amazing atmosphere at Mulberries and Willows. Everyone we spoke to recommended this nursery, and I’ve never heard a single negative word about it. The whole team makes you feel welcome from the very first day. We only have the best memories and the deepest gratitude for this wonderful place! A huge thank you to the entire Mulberries and Willows team for everything you’ve done for our family – we are endlessly grateful!
