According to Denis Gifford Nutty Noddle was yet another Hugh McNeill creation, though I agree that the majority of the strips looked as though they were drawn by someone else. Unfortunately I haven't seen a signature on any of those, but here are a couple of panels of original art in the style I usually associate with the character.
For the record, the above panels were repackaged for the 1984 Playhour Holiday Special - though they would almost certainly have appeared elsewhere beforehand. Incidentally one of the nice things about Fleetway's nursery art was the fact that, apart from the photocopied logo, any decorative illustrations tended to be drawn especially for that episode.

look at mother duck!
As with the colour 'Willow Wood' strip you posted it looks like Peter Woolcock to me - but from a very early period when he was still working out his own style.
He's undoubtedly brilliant but for some reason he puts me in mind of Louis Wain - the famous Victorian Cat painter whose illustrations are now most commonly found in textbooks on mental illness (the madder he got the more sinister his cats became!).
