Weekend Willows!

Amazing day out ! My little one loved it and had a fantastic time.  All the staff very welcoming and friendly. 
Definitely worth to visit ! We will definitely come back again 😊

Julie Geddes

Yesterday was my grandson’s first visit and he really enjoyed himself. Everyone was friendly. He struggles with school but he definitely wants to go back and said he feels happy and safe there and enjoyed the outdoor setup. It didn’t take him long to settle in which was a bonus. 

Jenna Stott

Had our 2nd visit to Willows Outdoor Learning yesterday - it is such a lovely, well set up area! We love all the variety of experiences, allowing lots of skills to be used, as well as new ones learnt too. With being an enclosed area it allows the kids freedom to explore, whilst also being safe too, which is great! Lisa is a lovely lady, who includes everyone during the session and is great with the kids, giving them various opportunities but always keeping safety in mind and has a great way explaining this to them. Think we'll be regular visitors! 

Clark Cumming

We have been to Willows twice now and have all really loved our visits. Lisa is very engaging with the children. I have a 5 and a 2 year old and both have really enjoyed the activities set up here.  My son particularly enjoys the tools area and it’s lovely to see him explore real tools with peace of mind being taught by Lisa. She has and a great way of explaining the very important safety aspects whilst also keeping the task fun with lots of encouragement and praise. 
Thank you very much! 
We look forward to our next visit! x

Willows Outdoor Learning CPD Day

APR-JUNE DROP-IN Wee Willows Monday Session 

Jade Ironside 

Recently moved to the area and been struggling for places to go to with 2 under 2. I have experienced a lot of places not welcoming me and my girls but Lisa was very welcoming and I love her thought behind the outdoor play and she has been in so much effort from setting up dinos too making dens and having sparkles in the water! My daughter had the best time! Was also a great opportunity for her to be around fire in a safe environment which I think was great! Will definitely be back weekly. Even after one session I can see my daughter being more confident!

Louise Gray

I cannot recommend Willows enough - my daughter has so much fun there and does things she never gets to at home. My daughter is neurodiverse and her behaviour can be tricky, but she is given understanding and patience there. Fantastic and safe place for children to be themselves and explore new things

Jenna Jones

My daughter had a great time at Willows! She was thrilled with the items she had hammered and sawn, and loved using the tools as well as the huge range of free play opportunities available. Will be definitely on the lookout for more sessions!
