Windmill Hill Day Nursery (Swindon)

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.

As our daughter was born at the beginning of the pandemic her transition into nursery and life away from both parents was more difficult and yet the staff here understood and worked with us all to ensure a smooth and safe transition. Our daughter enjoyed every aspect of nursery life, making new friends of all ages whilst learning new skills including those most important interpersonal skills. I thank all the staff greatly for not only supporting our daughter but also us as parents. We used this nursery for our older child also and would highly recommend it.

Again, you guys are all amazing! We’re going to miss you all so much!

Both my boys love going to the nursery! Staff there are very loving and really focus on their development, the activities are often designed specifically based on their interests and/or area of improvement.

My eldest first joined the nursery during covid. Despite all of the restrictions, it still felt very personal and welcoming with lots of play and developmental opportunities. My family will sincerely miss the nursery and the staff team. Certain members of the team in particular have made such a significant impact on the girls and have been and still are, spoken about regularly at home. Thank you for everything.

My daughter has been attending Windmill Hill Day Nursery since she was nine months old. She is currently in her third room (Bumblebees) and I cannot be happier with how settled she is. On our walks to nursery she gets really excited and starts to call out the names of her friends and a lot of the staff, including some from previous rooms. She is always happy to go into her room and the staff are amazing at greeting us and listening to any messages we have. I get regular updates of her learning through the app and always look forward to seeing what she has been up to. She really enjoys the food provided and I am happy with the varied diet she receives. She has several mild food intolerances and the kitchen provides excellent alternatives. We get a thorough handover each day and our daughter will say goodbye to each member of staff and everyone in the office. It is very clear to see how much she has progressed and how happy she is. Thank you so much to everyone at Windmill Hill!

We had a very good experience with the nursery. My daughter received all the love and attention that she needed to settle in the first week and as parents, we are grateful for everything. All members of the staff are amazing, professionally trained and very supportive. Thank you.
