Blue Windmill Nursery

nursery I will take my child away from this messy place. I just use it because its close to me and they had an available place.
To other parents, avoid this place not the point. Like you see even the presentation of this place is not well. Sad but this is true.

daughter's key teacher. Also, the biggest thank you to other teachers, the way you meet her at the door in the morning is brilliant.
Also want to say a big, big thank you to the rest of the staff that has been involved in my daughter's nursery time there. You all are the best! Meet and play with kids also is well planned and we always had much fun. We are highly recommending this nursery. For my daughter, this place was like a second home full of her new friends - and that all is thanks to the staff, management, and all the other kids that were a part of her education!

who has been under speech and language, to a very loud, talkative and confident boy, ready to start school. I can’t thank them enough for all they’ve done to help him grow. Absolutely incredible.

after drop off in the morning and so on. My communication with the owner was outstanding, she supported me and guided me from the beginning with the childcare-funded hours and student childcare support so I am really happy with how this is going. I feel that my son is happy there and I always find him in the afternoon happy and with a smile on his face and I feel that he had a good day there.

son requires extra support and this is where Blue Windmill have outdone themselves. Led by the brilliant preschool room leader, all staff, including the management team have tried different ways to support him and to work out how he can get the most from nursery. They sought advice from an external source which shows me they understand that if they don’t always have all the answers, they will search to get them. As a result of their efforts and love and by working in partnership with them, he is now thriving and we are so grateful for that.

provided is great, facilities are good and they even go above and beyond with stay n plays and communication with parents. Couldn't recommend more!

get daily feedback on her progress and activities. All the staff are fantastic in giving details of my daughter's day upon collecting her. Being lucky - my child can vocalise her feelings/experiences and it's always positive feedback from her!
She has been introduced to new foods and actually it's expanding her menu at home too.
Outdoor play is amazing as any visit can confirm. Children are changed and dressed suitably for activities. She sings new rhymes and is definitely enjoying the guided socialising!
She is comfortable there and loves it, that is what makes this place a safe comfortable home from home.
Thank you to all the staff!

offers child-focus care rather than the staff being stuck on tablets and interaction between the different groups but they are vocal in any issues both negative and positive that manifest in terms of behaviour that my child can, and does have.
We recognise that they can be overactive, more physical and requires stimulation but were not afraid to raise the issue of potential issues that may require an assessment though it was found that not needed and it was welcoming that they are looking for the signs. All the staff that we interact with have a variety of strengths, which can elicit particular responses though they rise to the challenge. Keep up the great work especially in Rainbows.

at ease so much. The nursery have been brilliant at communicating about my daughter's progress and very understanding and helpful if we are having any issues. We receive seasonal artwork/cards eg for Mother's Day which was lovely. There is great outdoor play spaces and we often stop by the ducks in the morning. They started using an app which is perfect for tracking meals/naps and contacting the nursery staff with any questions. I've often had to request additional hours which they have supported. I fully trust the nursery with our child, the staff are so friendly. We have had many interactions with the baby room staff and the nursery manager, all have been very positive.

concerns, they reassure and support us how they can.
The nursery staff are brilliant at supporting my daughter to aid her development.
I highly recommend Blue Windmill Nursery to anyone looking

and IDS) to get her ready for school and make sure she has the support she needs along the way.
She loves going here, is always excited to arrive and is a struggle to get out the gate at home time! It's clear to me that all the staff care deeply about my child and the other children they look after, watching their interactions at pick up and drop off is lovely to see.
The meals are healthy and varied and she has extended her diet massively since joining.
I have found the staff, management and SENCO all really easy to approach and eager to help make my daughter's time there happy, educational and safe. They are always available to chat and resolve any issues. Would highly recommend

2 year old so loves being busy. Many staff are still at the nursery from when our 15 year old attended. More recently, management have really helped by fitting our daughter in for extra sessions when a family member was poorly.

caring and have been particularly supportive with issues we have had around toilet training. They have given us advice and tips that we can try at home and communicated with us regularly so that they can best meet his needs.
He has become so much more independent since joining and they are great at helping him to explore his interests. They also have ducks which my son loves to feed and the outdoor space is fantastic.
My son is starting school in September and the work they have done to prepare him is very noticeable - I'm much less anxious about the transition now.
They have always been very open and transparent and we feel confident that our son is happy and cared for.

the parents, are getting more involved by participating in different events throughout the year and Stay and Play sessions.

child happily goes over to staff and often greets them with a smile and a cuddle! We get regular feedback using the app and also daily detailed handovers. My child is treated as one of the family and is given the care, attention and love that any mother would give. Staff couldn’t be more forthcoming with information and putting my mind at ease when worried about leaving my child and have made the return to work so much easier for myself knowing he is so loved and cared for.
From an anxious mother to a now more content and confident mother I couldn’t be happier with the care my child receives! Management have been so supportive.
Thank you as always to the team!

money coming in. 
My son was fine until he moved to the preschool room. From then he was unsettled at every drop-off. I was reassured, consistently, that once I had left he was happy. A few months later he accused one of the workers of hitting him. 
Instead of investigating calmly and following safeguarding protocol, I was intimidated into retracting the allegation. Then the narrative became about how difficult my son was, suggesting the need for a psychologist to deal with his disruptive behaviour.
I moved him to a new nursery and he is happy and settled with no issues at drop off, or reported during the day. He has been at his new nursery for 3 months now and all is going great.
