Garden Cottage Nursery

growing. There is so much on-site that there is no need to travel beyond the farm for days out. The staff are excellent and I'm confident in their ability to care for my children. The owner seems to invest in her staff with all the required training. She even goes beyond by getting her staff additional training in courses such as sign language so that every child is made to feel welcomed and loved. I'm so pleased that my children have had the opportunity to attend such a special place in their early years of development.

the use of the stunning Windlesham Chapel not forgetting the animals that the children can help with. Each child is treated as an individual, mine have certainly flourished here. Parents are always included if they wish. With sports day, Easter Egg hunt, fireworks night and a fabulous Christmas nativity, it's a lovely community. I will be sad when my youngest leaves in a couple of years.

to a forest school, walled garden and the nearby farm to see the animals. As the nursery is located in the grounds of Windlesham House School it also benefits from having access to the theatre, sports field and chapel for the summer concerts etc. We couldn't have wished for a better place for our son to start his early year's education.

easter egg hunts, bonfire nights, all in the beautiful setting of Windlesham school. I couldn't recommend it more.

space. They spend their days feeding the donkeys, collecting eggs from the chickens, at Forest School, walking up on the farm (and feeding lambs in the Spring), growing/picking mint and veg in the walled garden. Who could ask for more? I will be very sad to not be part of it when my youngest starts school.

being an amazing role model! I cannot recommend this nursery enough to any Mum or Dad or carer.

now in, we have delighted in how much she has learnt in her time here.
Without exception, the staff have been amazing, nurturing and caring for the children as if they were their own. There is never a day when our daughter does not want to go to Nursery but for those that are a bit more hesitant, there is always a reassuring member of staff on hand for the children (and parents).
The activities the children do are hugely varied (inside and outside) and there is plenty of opportunity to learn whilst having an enormous amount of fun. I would not hesitate to recommend this Nursery.

and the walled garden. They love visiting these as they are safe and free to run and explore.

school and will tell me what he has been doing at the end of the day. He is animated and excited when he tells me about his day and this is great to see and tells me he is well looked after and cared for.
As a parent, I get the regular emails detailing what the children will be doing for the following week which is a great prompt and talking point for discussion at home. I regularly see different staff members at the start and end of the day and it's reassuring to see the same faces and they all know children by name and will greet each child as they come in. The management team are also freely available and always happy to talk and can often be seen working alongside staff.

happy to help if there are any concerns. It feels like a happy place and to me that feels important.

more than just “childcare” its fun for the kids but also educational. My child loves it at Garden Cottage Nursery!

he's not in their class. The care and attention that goes into each and every child is evident. The development that I have witnessed in my child is astounding. The nursery has helped hugely with stages in weaning, learning words, activities and socialising with the other children. One of the fundamental points for me that was so important was finding a nursery that had babies the same age as mine and knowing that there was a dedicated room for babies all of similar ages was really comforting. My son absolutely loves going there and it's like dropping him off to extended family. I feel blessed to have our son in a safe and loving environment.

are happy, healthy and constantly learning, is just incredible. They collect eggs from the chickens, feed the donkeys and have their own forest school where they make bonfires and make mud pies in the mud kitchen. I couldn't ask for more from a nursery and I am so incredibly grateful to have them on my doorstep!
