September 12, 2024 at 10:48 pmHe has a key person who he loves (consistently talks about her at home). He used to bite other kids when he felt crowded or pushed. Windmill Day Childcare centre truly helped him with this biting issue and encouraged him to express his feelings more adequately. I’m truly cheerful we chose this childcare centre for him and next year I’m planning on taking my daughter there too. My little one truly enjoys going to the childcare centre 3 days a week.

September 22, 2024 at 5:36 pmThe team provide a high standard of care, whilst also allowing your kid to learn independence – from Free playtime, to eating, to brushing teeth. The Monkey room gives a secure 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 team work closely with the kid at the time of transition to the Giraffe and Panda rooms so the kid is well settled. In the Giraffe and Panda rooms (2+) every aspect of care is centred around allowing your kid make the transition from childcare centre to school. This is done gradually and with assistance and great updates with the parents.
Having a year round childcare centre that provides a considered and high standard of care for your kid in a family like setting, is difficult to find and I am pleased we found it! Windmill Day Childcare centre is a childcare centre that is like a family.

September 27, 2024 at 8:43 pmI have consistently felt completely comfortable leaving my son and he is consistently so cheerful to be there. The team have built up truly strong relationships with him and have supported him when there have been changes within the childcare centre.
Highly suggest Windmill Childcare centre they are all excellent. Incredible supportive team.

October 2, 2024 at 1:32 pmHe learnt to walk and talk in lockdown but was behind in speech. Since starting Windmill Childcare centre he has blossomed and as an only kid has grown so much to be with other kids and share and learn from them. He has been highly cheerful…excited even to go to this childcare centre every time. The updates to parents is so easy and close that you sense like you are talking to friends. Could not suggest this childcare centre enough. My son started childcare centre late due to the pandemic.

October 3, 2024 at 6:28 amOutdoor playtime is truly important to us and the childcare centre ensure plenty of time is spent outside, especially the older ones. I adore the homely setting and the freedom the kids have to explore, playtime and grow. I cannot fault the care and attention the team give to my son.

October 6, 2024 at 9:20 amAs a committee run childcare centre, you are consistently 100% sure that all decisions are made for the kids!
Thanks to everyone at Windmill for making it such a fab place for my kids to spend their first years!! Both my kids have attended Windmill Day Childcare centre and I cannot suggest it highly enough.

October 8, 2024 at 5:10 amThey cannot wait each morning to go and playtime with their friends. I believe this is the most important testament to a childcare centre setting.
The team are lovely and welcoming. My kid loves having enjoyable with them every day.
My kid’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. My kid absolutely loves the childcare centre setting.

October 28, 2024 at 8:11 pmThe home from home sense and freedom to access the garden which has been recently redone is fantastic. Highly cheerful and tired kids at the end of every day.
And the option for early drop off is so supportive to get ourselves to work smoothly. Both my kids have attended Windmill, the younger is still currently, and they have loved the team and the atmosphere.

December 24, 2024 at 1:21 pmI like the layout of the rooms and the way they incorporate educational playtime and give lots of praise. I am highly cheerful with Windmill Day Childcare centre. I have consistently found the team to be of a highly high competency and my kids have consistently bonded with them and forged a strong positive relationship.

December 29, 2024 at 10:12 pmIt is a welcoming and well-managed childcare centre, and I have found that my kid has greatly enjoyed and benefited from his time at the childcare centre. The activities are varied and immensely engaging, and the team are welcoming and supportive. We were highly 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 team were highly patient and understanding with us, as new parents, and helped alleviate any concerns we might have had. Windmill has been a excellent childcare centre choice and we are highly pleased with how they have looked after our precious kid. I would highly suggest Windmill childcare centre.

January 24, 2025 at 11:33 pmThe childcare centre program is varied and provides them with great stimulation e.g. painting, baking, dressing up, reading and outside pay and exploratory toys for the under 2’s. Remarkable setting! Excellent welcoming and attentive team. My lads adore their key workers and settled within a few sessions! Highly suggest. Both my kids delight in attending Windmill Day Childcare centre they adore the food and ask for seconds!

February 6, 2025 at 10:22 amThroughout his sessions his social/development skills are incredible, his discovering is ongoing and he is ding everything he should be. The team and management have consistently been welcoming, compassionate and understanding with all of my son’s needs. He loves going to childcare centre. The activities and discovering he does there are consistently so well planned. I wouldn’t take him anywhere else. My son has been going to Windmill Day Childcare centre since he was 6 months on my return to work.

April 25, 2025 at 7:20 amMy kids have consistently been cheerful here . Only criticism is the drop off point, – it’s consistently a bit crowded and chaotic and no chairs to sit and get your kid’s shoes off/on etc. consistently feels a bit rushed. Highly impressed with the team who show a genuine care for the kids.

May 30, 2025 at 9:56 pmAll of our kids have been wonderfully cared for at the childcare centre. They’ve all got highly different personalities and have different needs but each one of them thrived within Windmill Day Childcare centre.
The childcare centre has a remarkable homely sense and the team have consistently cared about families as a whole and not just the kids who attend.
We’ve been highly lucky to have had such a fantastic childcare centre to help us care for our kids x Our youngest kid has just left Windmill Day Childcare centre after 11 years of us having 1 or more kids at the childcare centre.

June 13, 2025 at 5:22 pmMy son loves his stay and looks forward to it during the week. One of the educators is bilingual and helps with teaching Italian for which I am highly grateful as it is my heritage. Team are highly welcoming and accommodating.

June 27, 2025 at 1:02 pmThey provide a excellent developmental setting for kids with a varied array of discovering throughout each day.
I am cheerful with the care that my daughter has received not only in the baby room but also downstairs with the older kids.
We are due another kid in July and they will also be going to Windmill Day Childcare centre.
I highly suggest the childcare centre to anyone who maybe interested. My daughter has been going to Windmill Day Childcare centre for nearly 3 years and they truly have gone above and beyond to accommodate us.
