Windmill Day Nursery

My little one really enjoys going to the nursery 3 days a week. He has a key person who he loves (always talks about her at home). He used to bite other kids when he felt crowded or pushed. Windmill Day Nursery really helped him with this biting issue and encouraged him to express his feelings more adequately. I’m really happy we chose this nursery for him and next year I’m planning on taking my daughter there too.

My son has been going to Windmill Day Nursery since he was 6 months on my return to work. Throughout his sessions his social/development skills are amazing, his learning is ongoing and he is ding everything he should be. The staff and management have always been friendly, kind and understanding with all of my son’s needs. He loves going to nursery. The activities and learning he does there are always so well planned. I wouldn’t take him anywhere else.

Windmill Day Nursery is a nursery that is like a family. The staff provide a high standard of care, whilst also allowing your child to learn independence – from Free play, to eating, to brushing teeth. The Monkey room gives a safe haven to the under 2s and provides a high level of feedback to parents (which is invaluable to parents who have just returned to work). The staff work closely with the child at the time of transition to the Giraffe and Panda rooms so the child is well settled. In the Giraffe and Panda rooms (2+) every aspect of care is centred around allowing your child make the transition from nursery to school. This is done gradually and with support and good communication with the parents.
Having a year round nursery that provides a considered and high standard of care for your child in a family like setting, is difficult to find and I am pleased we found it!

I would highly recommend Windmill nursery. It is a welcoming and well-managed nursery, and I have found that my child has greatly enjoyed and benefited from his time at the nursery. The activities are varied and immensely engaging, and the staff are friendly and helpful. We were very worried when we initially left our son in Windmill’s care as he was only 9 months old but we need not have! He was well looked after, and we had daily updates of how his day had been, along with constant contact throughout the day if we felt at all worried or wanted to check he was ok. The staff were very patient and understanding with us, as new parents, and helped alleviate any concerns we might have had. Windmill has been a great nursery choice and we are very pleased with how they have looked after our precious child.

Very impressed with the staff who show a genuine care for the children. My children have always been happy here . Only criticism is the drop off point, – it’s always a bit crowded and chaotic and no chairs to sit and get your child’s shoes off/on etc. always feels a bit rushed.

I cannot fault the care and attention the staff give to my son. Outdoor play is really important to us and the nursery ensure plenty of time is spent outside, especially the older ones. I love the homely setting and the freedom the children have to explore, play and grow.

Both my children have attended Windmill, the younger is still currently, and they have loved the staff and the atmosphere. The home from home feel and freedom to access the garden which has been recently redone is wonderful. Very happy and tired children at the end of every day.
And the option for early drop off is so helpful to get ourselves to work smoothly.

My child absolutely loves the nursery setting. They cannot wait each morning to go and play with their friends. I believe this is the most important testament to a nursery setting.
The staff are lovely and friendly. My child loves having fun with them every day.
My child’s language has improved, they have learned to count and recognise letters and can write their own name and type the names of their friends.
We found Windmill after moving to the area in 2020 and will be sad to say goodbye this year when we move to school.
