Hi, I'm Natalie, the Nursery Manager at Willow Tree.

Every day at Willow Tree, we inspire children to be inquisitive and imaginative through our rich indoor and outdoor learning environments. From our adventurous gardens with a mud kitchen and cosy reading nook to our calming sensory room, there's so much for children to explore and enjoy. It’s in this nurturing environment that they quickly develop a real love of learning and a curious mind.

Our experienced and passionate team brings a wealth of early years insight, ensuring that every child learns in a way and at a pace that suits them. We know that each child is unique, and we tailor our care to support their individual journey.

Our home-from-home setting includes dedicated spaces for cooking and yoga, helping to spark children’s creativity and well-being. Each age group has its own carefully designed room with direct access to the garden, while our sensory room offers a peaceful place for rest and relaxation.

Who & What is Storal?

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
