Welcome to New Parents and Carers
Willow Cottage Nurseries offer parents and carers the highest quality childcare and a preschool education of excellence. Parents and carers can leave their child with confidence, knowing that they are in a happy, safe, and loving extended family environment. Our nursery practitioners and their team work in close partnership with parents and carers to support their child’s happiness and developmental and educational needs and so provide the best possible outcomes for their future.
Our Settings
Our nurseries are situated in spacious beautiful Oxfordshire countryside, chosen for abundant outside facilities.
The Farmoor setting is situated to the west of the City of Oxford, on the road between Cumnor and Farmoor.
The Bletchingdon setting off the A34 between Kidlington and Bicester.
We also have a map of our settings.
Our Departments
*Please note that during this current pandemic we have chosen to keep siblings together and reduce transitions by having bubble groups that do not mix*
Under normal circumstances:
Our nurseries are broken down into departments depending on the age of the child. At Farmoor we have a combined larger Kindergarten department.
Our Provision
Our curriculum plans for each child’s learning and development, according to their individual passions and interests, whatever their background or ability.
Willow Cottage has a tradition of prioritising high quality, home cooked food and a healthy lifestyle.
We use interesting music, song and rhymes to develop language and social skills. We help the children enjoy movement and dance and learn to play simple instruments.

Visits to the nursery are by pre-booked appointments and subject to the availability of a place for your child. To arrange a visit to a setting you will need to let us know a few details about your child, including their age and your required booking pattern via our Availability Request form. It usually takes from 2 to 4 weeks to complete this process.
