Windmill Hill Day Nursery (Swindon)

I cannot recommend Windmill Hill Nursery enough. The registration process was simple which was a great start. From there, they have clearly considered what a shift it is for both parent & child and the settling in process is essentially tailored to each child, with the option for parents to stay & watch from the parent room to give comfort. ALL of the staff have been so kind & nurturing, & it's plain to see that they really enjoy their jobs, & from how the children respond to them, are good at it too! They have been nothing short of nurturing & compassionate to us all, and the activities & curriculum that they run are brilliant, I have seen my little boy come on in leaps & bounds. They are thoughtful when it comes to room changes & engage parents to make sure that everyone is comfortable, on the same page & are always welcoming of feedback. Their menus are balanced & nutritious & they have detailed & thorough process to ensure the children's safety and wellbeing.

Since my child has started nursery he has absolutely thrived. The staff are so friendly and helpful. My child is a send child and they have done lots of adaptions to make sure he doesn't lose out. The team have kept me up to date throughout with regular meetings and I have also been supported. My child adores nursery.

During his time there we had a fantastic experience. From day one, the staff made our son feel comfortable, safe, and engaged. The team are incredibly caring and dedicated, the activities were always varied and creative, fostering both learning and fun. We saw great progress in our son's social skills, confidence, and curiosity during his time there.

We could not have asked for a better nursery. Our daughter started at Windmill Hill just before her first birthday and continued there until starting school. Every room has exceptionally high standards with very kind and caring staff. The preschool class taught her so much, including independence and prepared her for her new adventure at school. We cannot recommend Windmill Day Nursery enough.

I used this nursery for my firstborn, and now my second child is attending as well. Both of them are incredibly happy and thriving. The staff are always attentive, caring, and goes above and beyond to make sure the children feel comfortable and supported. The facility is clean, safe, and filled with engaging activities that encourage learning and development.

Our experience at Windmill Hill has been nothing short of wonderful. The staff's dedication, warmth, and attentiveness created a nurturing environment where our child thrived. The balance between fun, learning, and care was evident in every activity, fostering both creativity and social skills. It's clear that the team genuinely cares about each child's well-being and development. We are so grateful for the memories and milestones our little one achieved here!

My daughter has attended Windmill Hill Day Nursery since she was around 7 months old and has loved every single moment of nursery life. The staff are extremely knowledgeable and the management team are all approachable and helpful. At the start of her nursery journey, she was extremely shy and would hardly talk to anyone, but her key workers in each room took time to get to know her and this has helped her become a confident little girl. There were plenty of her interests within the environments and that helped her confidence grow and now she is a confident little girl, who is now leaving to start school in September. She is sad to be leaving. Thank you so much to everyone at Windmill Hill.

Windmill Hill staff were everything I would have asked for in someone caring full-time for my child. They always focused on the child's interests and expanded at every opportunity. I would recommend this nursery to any family who are looking for childcare with a homely feel.

My eldest son has attended Windmill since he was 9 months old and since the very first day, it has been a positive experience. All the staff are brilliant and clearly genuinely care for their classes, they're always thinking of fun new ways to keep the kids engaged and learning even in difficult circumstances. My son is confident and outgoing by nature, but this has also been nurtured by the staff at Windmill too. They know him well, leaning into things he enjoys and gently encouraging him to keep trying at things he doesn't enjoy. The staff at reception are also really friendly and helpful.

My son is going to be leaving Windmill Hill this week due to starting primary school. He has been here since he was 10 months old and my daughter also attended from the same age, up until she left in 2022. Both my children have loved it here, as have I. The staff are just incredible, from being greeted at reception, right through to each and every room. They are caring, compassionate, kind and nurturing, everything you would want when selecting this type of setting for your child. My children bonded so well with their key workers throughout their time here and that's a testament to the staff that are employed here. They made it so easy for me, especially when I had my daughter as a first-time mum - to be able to return to work, knowing full well that I was leaving my children in such wonderful hands. I simply have nothing negative to say about our experience and our time here and I will look back on it all with such happy memories. We as a family, will really miss Windmill Hill.

Windmill Hill Day Nursery has been an exceptional experience for our child. The staff are incredibly caring and supportive, providing invaluable guidance on parenting techniques that have greatly benefited our family life. Their encouragement has helped our child build confidence in English and form lasting friendships. The nursery's focus on fostering a love of learning is evident in their engaging activities, which have ignited our child's curiosity. We're particularly impressed by the exciting events they organise, such as the coronation and Olympics, which our child thoroughly enjoyed. We're incredibly grateful for the support and care our child receives.

I would like to thank Windmill Hill Day Nursery for the support and attention we've got during my daughter's attendance! I can't thank everyone enough, the whole team are excellent. I am pretty sure my daughter is going to miss them all.

My son has thoroughly enjoyed his time at Windmill Hill Nursery and we will be sad to leave. I cannot fault the members of staff and management that I have had dealings with, all are very welcoming, friendly and approachable. My son has learnt so much from attending this nursery and they have taught him plenty of life skills in readiness for starting school. My son can be very shy and reserved, however, the staff have built up his trust and relationship which has just allowed his confidence to go from strength to strength. I would highly recommend Windmill Hill Nursery!

I can't thank everyone enough, I will be very sad when my son leaves, due to us relocating.

I would like to thank Windmill Hill Day Nursery for the support and attention we've got during my son attendance! A special and big thanks to the Pre-school team as my son gained so many new skills during last year in the nursery!

Both of my children have attended Windmill Hill and I can't rate them highly enough. The whole team are excellent, from the staff in every room the boys were in, through to the management and office team. The preparation for school is fantastic, the room resources and activities are varied and the visits from external parties are of great quality. Both boys loved their time at Windmill - I'll genuinely miss the team when my youngest graduates and leaves!

Windmill Hill has been absolutely brilliant for both of my children. My daughter has flourished over the last three years, gaining confidence and independence. The staff, in the individual rooms, the front office and the kitchen staff are just amazing.

We have always been pleased with the variety of food provided for both our daughters. We also feel that our eldest daughter has been well prepared for school and she will miss the staff when she leaves as she has developed some positive relationships.

We love Windmill Hill, our son has been here since he was 1 and will be leaving in September to go to school. The nursery staff are lovely and really care about your child, they provide detailed handovers at pick up and really bond with the children. They are always doing different activities and have interesting new toys to play with. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Windmill Hill to anyone and will be sad for my son to leave!

My son has attended Windmill Hill Nursery for two years and I can honestly say the staff here are fantastic. It is a wonderful kind, caring nursery that goes above and beyond. There is a huge sense of community and they really know how to encourage development through hobbies and interests of the children. I can’t recommend Windmill Hill enough!
