Overall Experience
The reviews provide a mix of opinions about the Willow Park Montessori nursery, with two 5-star ratings and one 1-star rating.
Teaching and Activities
The nursery seems to excel in terms of teaching and activities, with one reviewer praising the fantastic teaching that has helped their 3-year-old son count to 20. The nursery also organizes various events and activities, such as sports day, Easter parades, and Halloween parties, which are appreciated by the children and parents.
Staff and Correspondence
However, there are concerns about the staff's correspondence and attitude towards prospective parents. One reviewer was disappointed with the lack of response to their request for a viewing, which they attributed to the nursery's prejudice against non-English sounding names.
Long-term Experience
On the other hand, one reviewer has had a positive long-term experience with the nursery, with their daughter attending over 15 years ago and their son currently enrolled. They praise the owner's love and dedication to the children and the staff's hard work in making every day a great day.
