Windmill Hill Day Nursery (Swindon)

My daughter attended Windmill Hill for 3 years and I can honestly say they are the most fantastic nursery. The staff are all wonderful, they give them fantastic dinners, everything included in the price which makes it so easy for working parents. My daughter was always really happy there, did lots of great activities, learned so much e.g. writing her name, recognising letters and also made lots of friends. Couldn't rate it highly enough!

Their outstanding rating is most definitely deserved it’s a wonderful place for any child to be.

At every stage of his time at Windmill, his key workers have genuinely cared for his welfare and development. All staff from the management, administrative and key workers are welcoming and clearly have a passion for their jobs and understand the importance of the role they play. I was always made to feel welcome, and staff provided structured feedback. I have always felt a strong partnership between the nursery and parents with regard to the development of the children in their care. This is borne out of an outstanding Ofsted report.

All the members of staff have been fantastic supportive and caring. Thank you.

Our son has come on so much since joining and we wish he had longer there as the staff are brilliant and so attentive. Thank you!

My son started going to Windmill in January. He previously attended a different nursery and was struggling with self-regulation, separation anxiety and more. The staff at Windmill is more than amazing. They supported him/us in every step since he joined and I can honestly say that they made a big difference. He finally started to enjoy nursery and drop-off is stress-free now. I am so thankful for all the support given from everyone. I just registered my 1 year old with Windmill too. Highly recommend.

My kids have attended the nursery since early 2016, over the period of time, the nursery has changed/improved. The resources at the nursery are fantastic - the kids have messy play everyday. The garden is fantastic and my daughter loved bikes, mud kitchen and numerous painting activities. The opening hours are excellent (7.30 am to 6.30pm). Food and staff is lovely! I have recommended the nursery to friends.

Thank you for all the support and love you have given to all the family over the years we’ve been with you!

I could not recommend this nursery, the staff or the start they've given to our daughter more highly. It came as no surprise when they were rated as outstanding, we already knew they were.

I would highly recommend the setting to anyone!

Both my kids started their journeys at Windmill Hill Day Nursery since they were one. My youngest is graduating in August and going off to reception. I can honestly say that it's been the best experience for them and me as a parent to know that the kids are well looked after and fully prepared to start school. The nursery opening times are fantastic and really fit with parents at full time work. Everything is covered from food, nappies even sun cream in the summer so we really don't have to worry about a thing. The kids also learn so much at nursery and my daughter who is 4 already knows all the sounds of the alphabet, they also help with emotional care. All in all, I don't think there's a better nursery out there and would recommend (and have already recommended to a few other parents) to anyone who is considering. My daughter's preschool has already been awarded the best preschool of the year and it's great to know that the achievements are reflected.

A really well organised establishment and lots of attention given to our son, who was quite emotional about going to a new nursery. He has thoroughly enjoyed his time there and seems to come home every day with a story about his day/what he's learnt.

100% recommend!

Windmill Hill Nursery from day one has been absolutely fantastic! I got recommended by a friend for how great of a nursery it was and it surely did not disappoint. My son started at 7 months old and now is 18 months and due to circumstances changing he completed his last session this week. The team kept us well informed at all times with any changes at the nursery and the ladies in the room with my son taught him very well and as parents, we have seen him develop so much over this time, and we are so grateful for how happy he was every day there and enjoyed his time! If our circumstances were to change again we will be back.

Overall we have had a great experience with Windmill Hill Day Nursery.

My son learnt a lot of skills at Windmill Hill Day Nursery. I would highly recommend the nursery. Thank you everyone for what you do!

My son has attended Windmill Hill Day Nursery since he was 10 months old and will shortly leave for school. The nursery have been a fantastic support over the years in helping with his development and social needs. Key workers really take the time to get to know you and your child. I will miss the very helpful and caring staff

Windmill Hill Day Nursery is a lovely nursery. The staff in all the rooms, and the admin staff, are friendly and approachable. We are always greeted warmly and the rooms provide a welcoming and engaging atmosphere for the children. Our children’s key workers have taken time to get to know our children’s individual needs, likes and dislikes and have used this to plan really fun and engaging activities for them. We have received so much help as parents from support with nap times and potty training to support with funding. The feedback the nursery staff provide us with is brilliant, it’s lovely seeing how well our children are getting on and looking at pictures of the activities they do. We would definitely recommend this nursery to other parents.

Plenty of communication around every important topic.

We have had no issues and both my children have thoroughly enjoyed their time they have spent there. My daughter who is due to leave for school in September has developed skills already that she would be learning in reception when she joins the school. Thank you to all of the staff who have played an important part in my children's lives over the years. I would recommend the nursery to any parent or carer and can not thank the nursery enough for helping my children grow into the children they are today.
