About Willow Childcare

Welcome to our family-run childcare business, where passion, experience, and dedication come together to create a nurturing environment for young children.

Our story began with Sally Watson, who founded the business after gaining over 30 years of hands-on experience in early years care and education. Her commitment to high-quality childcare laid the foundation for everything we do today.

In 2015, Sally’s daughter, Kerry Richardson, joined the team after earning her degree in Early Years. Kerry now leads the business, continuing her mother’s vision while bringing fresh ideas and a modern approach to early childhood education.

Kerry is supported by Keely Stenton, who helps manage the day-to-day running of the setting. Together, they form a strong leadership team who are not only qualified and experienced, but truly passionate about giving children the best possible start in life.

We’re proud to be a close-knit team that values trust, family, and the individual needs of every child in our care.

“Children thrive at this extremely well-organised and superbly managed setting. Staff are incredibly dedicated. They make sure that all children, including disadvantaged children or those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve their highest potential.”
