Review from Saskia L (Mother of Child) published on 23 August 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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!

Staff are very friendly and accommodating. My son loves his stay and looks forward to it during the week. One of the teachers is bilingual and helps with teaching Italian for which I am very grateful as it is my heritage.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

Both my kids enjoy attending Windmill Day Nursery they love the food and ask for seconds! The nursery program is varied and provides them with good stimulation e.g. painting, baking, dressing up, reading and outside pay and exploratory toys for the under 2's. Fantastic setting! Great friendly and caring
staff. My lads love their key workers and settled within a few sessions! Highly recommend.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.684)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.684) out of 10 for Windmill Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 9 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.935 for Windmill Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (101 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 108 Ratings = 4.935
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.749 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Windmill Day Nursery is based on 9 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.9
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 53 number of registered child places is 10.6. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.6 = 0.849
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
