Our son attended this nursery for the past two years, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. He truly thrived in such a caring, supportive environment and was consistently so well looked after.
The staff are incredibly friendly, attentive, and always keep you well informed, providing regular updates on your child's day and development. It made such a difference knowing exactly how he was getting on and seeing how happy he was there.
We were genuinely sad when it was time for him to leave, but it speaks volumes that we've already registered our new baby to start next year. There's such peace of mind in knowing your child is safe, happy, and in such capable hands while you're at work.
We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery to anyone.
Thank you to the whole team!
My son attended Windmill Day Nursery for over 2 years. Communication with parents was excellent and we always felt informed and reassured about our son's day. The staff at Windmill are kind and caring and show a genuine dedication to caring for the children. During his time at Windmill, we have seen a positive difference in our son's communication skills.
We are very happy with this nursery. Our 2 and 3 year old both attend and they absolutely love it. The staff are kind, caring and always make the children feel safe and welcome.
We have seen a big improvement in their confidence, communication and social skills since they started. They always come home happy and excited to tell us about their day.
The nursery provides lots of fun activities and a great learning environment for young children. We feel very comfortable leaving our children in their care and would definitely recommend this nursery to other parents.
My daughter loves Windmill Hill nursery and settled in really quickly thanks to an amazing team that made her feel welcome and helped her overcome her initial anxiety. She now runs in smiling! She has developed incredibly fast within her time there.
We felt very at ease leaving her, knowing she is happy and very well looked after by everyone. The team goes the extra mile for the little ones!
We love the flexibility when it comes to dropping off and picking up which makes a life as a working parent so much less stressful.
Our little boy has been at the nursery for 1.5 years and has developed so much in that time. The staff are super friendly and knowledgeable about early years education and have been very attentive, and offered lots of support for specific areas of development such as speech and potty training. He's progressed up the rooms fairly quickly and they've been great at helping him manage the transition. The range of activities is great, and they do loads of stuff we simply can't (or sometimes don't want) to do, and the outside space is great - very roomy and plenty of activities available. They are always willing to answer our questions and seem to really know him and his routines. The admin staff are also brilliant, Jan is always available to help when we have questions.
This nursery is so wonderful and accommodating. They go above and beyond and always make it so welcoming. You are always kept well informed and there are is such a focus on the children and their development. We feel very happy with this nursery and appreciate the staff's kindness, attention and enthusiasm.
The staff are so friendly and always happy to help, and genuinely invested in our child's development. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed and reassured. Our daughter settled in quickly and looks forward to going every day. The nursery has full of engaging activities, toys and learning materials. It's a lovely space for little ones to explore!
Highly recommend.
My son went to Windmill Hill when he was one year old and has just finished leaving for school. I would highly recommend this nursery. We felt part of a family, and the support was excellent. We will miss all the lovely staff. My son loved his days here. We had SEN needs, which was met with such nurture and allowed my son to flourish and grow into the confident little boy that he is. He is totally prepared for school, which is thanks to the support from this nursery. The rooms are full of activity with helpful staff and the garden is a lovely big space for the children to play. A huge thank you to all at Windmill Hill, we will miss you.
Our son has attended Windmill Hill since he was 11 months old. It was an absolute pleasure seeing he transform from the shy little boy he was to the confident and friendly boy that started school in September and I have to attribute that to all the staff at the nursery who from day one showed a real interest in his well being and development. We were made to feel like part of the family from the outset and I couldn't recommend them enough to anyone looking for childcare.
Great care and food. - thank you for all you have done. We would certainly use the nursery again. Windmill has given our child the confidence and abilities she needs to confidently start school and helped with giving her a balanced nutritious diet.
My little boy has had an excellent time at Windmill Hill. It was his first time at a nursery and his key workers really helped him settle in, I could tell he had formed a special connection with 2 members of staff in particular and would talk about them at home. I have seen him becoming more outgoing with other children and joining in more confidently. We are only moving as we needed more days and they weren't available, otherwise we would have stayed! Thank you for all the work you've done with him this year.
I would highly recommend Windmill Hill Nursery to any parent looking for safe, reliable & nurturing care for their child. All the staff are extremely friendly and treat you as if you're family - parents and children are known on a first name basis by all members of staff. Our son has been attending since he was 6-months old and all of the carers and key carers have been extremely supportive and encouraging throughout his time & development at the nursery. We are unfortunately moving away but we wouldn't be moving nurseries if we didn't have to! The all inclusive service is brilliant too as parents only have to worry about packing a change of clothes for their child - everything else is supplied by the nursery. We are extremely sad to have to say goodbye, but we hope we'll have an excuse to come back in the future!
The environment is bright, clean, and full of inviting spaces-cosy reading corners, colourful activity stations, and a safe outdoor play area where the children can explore in all seasons. I love that their daily routine prime time with their key worker.
One of the biggest strengths here is the staff's attentiveness. My child's key worker not only knows his learning milestones but also understands his personality-when he needs encouragement, when he needs space, and when he's ready to try something new.
Communication is excellent. I get regular updates through their app, complete with photos, and what he learned makes me feel involved in his day, I've seen my child grow in confidence, develop friendships, and become more curious about the world. I couldn't recommend it more highly.
They do a great job preparing the children for school.
Our daughter has just graduated from Windmill Hill and has been there since she was 1 years old. Both us and our children love the nursery; the children (we have a son attending too) love playing there, they have strong bonds with the staff and also learn a lot in their nursery setting. I feel like my daughter has a great foundation to start school in September which is in part due to the her time spent at the nursery. I would recommend Windmill to anyone.
During the last 10 years the standard of childcare they have received has been nothing short of fantastic and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the nursery to others.
The nursery ticks all the boxes you could want. A nutritious well balanced diet, great rooms that have a variety of toys and activities, a nice outdoor area, top draw staff who are friendly and take a genuine interest in the children and a very safe environment.
In addition they keep a log/digital record of your child's development so you can track and see what they've been up to.
Highly recommended!
My daughter has been with the nursery for over three years, and it's been a wonderful journey. The staff are caring, attentive, and truly committed to the children's growth and happiness. We've seen our daughter thrive and her confidence grow in a fun, safe, and stimulating environment. We couldn't have asked for a better start to our daughter's early years. Thank you to everyone at the nursery for the love and guidance you've given her.
Both our children have gone to this nursery, great team and supportive to parent and child needs. Facilities are good and they work at the child's pace when ready to move to the next room and learning experience
He has spent time in each room and built strong, secure bonds with the adults. His interests have been pursued and his voice heard - perhaps more than one would wish! He has had plenty of opportunity to practise the skills he enjoys and those he needed to improve, and it has all been achieved with fun along the way.
Our son's emotional development has always lagged behind other areas and staff have been careful to expose him to opportunities to understand feelings, act out and reflect, and make huge progress.
He leaves nursery in very good stead to start school, with the social skills and emotional intelligence to engage in his new setting and express his concerns. Thanks to all who have contributed to his care and development. You have done an excellent job preparing him for more formal education.
