Overall Experience

My daughter started at Windmill Hill when she was 9 months old. We had looked around other nurseries but when we visited Windmill we knew this was the one. The staff are wonderful. Everyone is friendly. It is clean and very professional. I love being sent updates about what activities my daughter has done that day. The facilities are brilliant and there is a lovely garden for the children to play in. It is a brilliant nursery I highly recommend Windmill Hill

Overall Experience

Our son has been attending Windmill Hill Day Nursery for the last 3 years and even though he only attends once a week, he has been fully supported by the various number of friendly and attentive staff based there. He is given a broad range of learning activities to participate in and is actively encouraged to engage with the other children in his class to further build on his social skills. The Parent Zone app that is also offered is of great use and we can see how he is progressing in real-time with supporting photos and evidence which we can also contribute to.

Overall Experience

Our son has loved attending Windmill Hill Day Nursery. The rooms and outdoor spaces are well designed and fully equipped for play and learning. The staff (including support staff) are highly trained, professional, friendly, caring and helpful. There is a real family atmosphere and lots of opportunity for parents, carers etc to get involved in various activities at the nursery. Our son's development and learning has really progressed during his time at Windmill Hill Day Nursery. We are kept up-to-date on his progress and we can log into an app to see what he has been doing. He has made lots of friends and looks forward to spending time there.

Overall Experience

My daughter loved going to nursery at Windmill Hill Day Nursery. All the staff were friendly and very welcoming. I was surprised at how quickly she seemed to settle and the staff took the time to know her. There was plenty of things for her to do and I like that when I picked her up there was always someone there to tell me about my daughters day.

My granddaughter is extremely happy at this nursery and will be very sad to leave when she starts school in September. She has learnt so much since attending from 9 months old. The staff are all very dedicated and always want the best for the children. It is a very happy environment at all times.

Since my little girl has gone to windmill nursery, she has grown and blossomed into a wonderful, intelligent girl. This is largely down to the staff at windmill hill who have always encouraged and coordinated with us. Thank you for all your hard work and attention to every child you care for.

Overall Experience

Going back from maternity leave is so hard for every mum, but Windmill Hill have made such a huge change so much easier. My daughter has been looked after so well, and they really take into consideration her individual needs and in turn have helped her to settle into a brand new environment very quickly! The staff show that they genuinely care about her and for this reason I would definitely recommend this nursery to anyone.

Review from Stacey S (Mother of Child) published on 8 February 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My 3 year old son started at Windmill Hill in December, previously changing from a different nursery. He has really come out of himself and is much more confident already, and the lovely bonus ss everyone is saying this to us. The staff have really helped him settle in and are all friendly. My son loves telling us about the different foods he has had and activities. We were impressed with the length of settling in too, moving him was a difficult decision but we were unhappy with his previous nursery. Windmill Hill have helped us as well as my son for a smooth transition.

Both our daughters enjoyed their time at Windmill - the staff were always genuinely caring and kept us fully up to date. We saw a huge growth in confidence and skills in both girls during their time, and both developed lovely friendships as well.

Both of my daughters attended Windmill Hill until they moved on to the school they were going to attend preschool.

With both of my children I had a great experience, the staff are so lovely, we appreciate everything they all did for us to make our experience so good.

Absolutely love this nursery, the only reason I am no longer using it is due to my change of employment and I don’t drive. My little boy has loved every day he has been there, a huge shame to be moving on. Highly recommend!

Review from Lesley Anne H (Mother of Child) published on 9 November 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Placing my son into full-time care and returning back to work was a challenge for both myself and my son after 12months maternity. My child took a long time (approx 4months to truly settle) However the staff were amazing! They handled the situation and supported my son every step of the way. He’s now extremely comfortable at Windmill Hill Day Nursery and made lots of new friends.

Review from Dani B (Mother of Child) published on 9 November 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Having used other nurseries for our eldest children, I am thrilled to bits we researched the internet and found Windmill Hill Day Nursery. I cannot recommend it enough.
The staff, the environment, the structure is all to an outstanding standard in my opinion and our little girl is flourishing thanks to the great team there.
Always welcoming, the staff give a thorough overview of what our daughter has done including what she's eaten, what nap she's had and what activities she's done.
The online overview and gallery are exceptional and always exciting to see what they have been doing.

Overall really happy with the nursery.

Review from Jennifer F (Mother of Child) published on 31 October 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The nursery is well organised and there are a number of policies and procedures in place to safeguard the children. The staff are friendly and there are always a variety of activities for the children to get involved in. After a tricky settling in period, my daughter soon became familiar with the staff and developed good relationships with them. She really seemed to enjoy her time at Windmill Hill and developed well whilst she was there.

Regular updates, emails and newsletters are shared with parents to let them know how their children are doing, along with daily diary sheets.

Review from Tom D (Father of Child) published on 22 October 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
When we started looking around nurseries, Windmill Hill felt really welcoming and the perfect environment for our child.
My son attends the nursery twice a week and loves it. There is always lots for him to do, especially getting very messy which he loves!

He has recently moved up to the Ladybirds room from Caterpillars and this transition seemed really smooth and he has settled in amazingly! It's so nice to see him happy when I collect him and find out about his day! I would happily recommend Windmill Hill to anyone!

My Grandson attends Windmill Hill everyday and absolutely loves going, it’s lovely to see photos of him enjoying his time there through ParentZone. When I drop off and collect him he is always engrossed happily in activities surrounded by friendly welcoming staff. The menu sounds very nice and the facilities of the building are lovely especially the garden.

My son has been at this nursery for 3 months. He really enjoys it. The staff are lovely. They quickly understand what he likes to do particularly when he gets upset. He's eating well with the food given to him. My husband and I are really glad we chose this nursery.

Review from Samantha M (Mother of Child) published on 25 September 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
After looking around a few nurseries, I came back to Windmill Hill to book straight away. When I was shown around the nursery, I was welcomed as soon as I arrived and by all the staff in each room. It felt like home from home.
The settling in visits were to suit when I could do, and my son settled very well. We are both greeted so lovely each morning and he has a day full of fun activities! When I pick him up he is so happy and I receive feedback straight away.
I love receiving notifications in the week of a new observation on ParentZone, it’s amazing to see what he is getting up to!

I would highly recommend Windmill Hill.
