A beautifully refurbished adventure garden is divided into three play areas designed to support each particular age group. Each area provides lots of space for physical development and opportunities for children to develop an interest in nature and the world around them.

Experienced, qualified staff ensure the children are cared for throughout their nursery journey and 90% of staff are qualified to Level 3 or above and regularly trained. The nursery's own supply team cover staff holidays and sickness.

The nursery provides excellent opportunities for partnership with parents through parents' evenings, forums and regular 'stay and play' sessions. Policies and procedures are designed to give parents confidence in the safe and stimulating environment provided.

Their unique Healthy Hearts and Minds activities provide inspirational and engaging learning experiences using the innovative and well established Boogie Mites and myHappymind programmes.

An enriching Ready for School programme gives every child the opportunity to gain knowledge and confidence to thrive in school and beyond.

The nursery is within the catchment area of Richmond Primary School and other local schools that children progress to include Battling Brook Primary School.

The nursery was rated 'Good' by Ofsted in July 2022.

Our children have come on leaps and bounds since they started at Windmill Day Nursery. They look forward to going every day, the staff are always caring and supportive and happy to help with any aspect, the quality of care is always good and we always have the comfort in that our children will enjoy
the time they spend at nursery.

My daughter has loved her time at the nursery. She will be very sad to leave. The girls have made her time so enjoyable. She has made lots of special friends. Thank you for making her time in pre-school so special and giving her memories that will last forever.

We've used Windmill for both our daughters and have been impressed with the quality of care they've received. Staff are all highly trained professionals who work tirelessly to provide creative learning experiences for the children. Our girls have both formed strong bonds with their key workers and we've
been happy that the staff care for them as if they were their own.

Windmill nursery has provided the most excellent care and starting foundations of learning for our daughter. The nursery and pre-school staff have gone beyond our expectations in the care and nurturing environment and presence they have provided.
Our daughter's confidence has grown and as parents,
it has been a delight seeing this. We can't thank Windmill enough for all they have done for us and we will miss them greatly.

Needless to say, they give all children a great foundation to continue their journey into the early years of education.

Not a bad word to say against Windmill nursery.
My daughter has been going for 3 and a half years and she has excelled in all areas of her development and has been provided with excellent learning opportunities.
All the staff are fantastic and my daughter has developed strong bonds with them. She
truly enjoys her time spent there,
We will all miss everybody now she is leaving to start school and would like to thank everybody for their care and dedication for our little girl.

We found Windmill to be a very professional, well run, friendly and organised nursery.
Whilst it's not the cheapest, it's certainly the best.

Brilliant nursery. I cannot say anything negative about the care, support and standards that the nursery has provided for my son.
All the staff are fantastic. They have always worked together with us as parents to enable the best care and learning has been received by our son.
He has become a more
confident and independent individual. His learning has come on really well.
Thank you all for all your support. We will miss you all.
Keep up the good work.

Both my children have been to Windmill and have loved their time there. The staff are excellent and make sure every child is happy.
We couldn't have wished for a better nursery to prepare our children for school and leave them ready the next steps in their learning journey. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend
Windmill to other parents.

Our review was good. I was able to see pictures of my son's activities and look at development outcomes that my son work towards. I feel it could have been more structured and would have liked to have viewed the next room as stated on the invite, but overall, pleasant to reflect on my son's progress!
Thanks

My daughter started in the baby room in January. She settled quickly thanks to the support of all the staff in the room. I have found the staff to be kind, caring and supportive. My daughter is thriving and the experiences she has are fantastic. I would highly recommend the nursery to others.

Current Review Score: 8.5 (8.463)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.5 (8.463) out of 10 for Bright Horizons Hinckley Day Nursery and Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.6 out of 5 from 4 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.896 for Bright Horizons Hinckley Day Nursery and Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (43 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 4.896
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 3.567 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bright Horizons Hinckley Day Nursery and Preschool is based on 4 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.375
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 104 number of registered child places is 20.8. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 20.8 = 0.192
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Assistant Manager

I have worked at Bright Horizons Hinckley since 1996 where during my time I have gradually worked my way from a nursery nurse to my current position of Assistant Manager.


Throughout these years I have worked with all age groups enjoying seeing how the children all develop differently and gain their own interests.


As part of my role, I enjoy not knowing what each day will bring, it's always a mystery! Above all, I enjoy seeing the children laugh and smile each day.

Since joining the team in 2013, Sadie has gained a wealth of experience following her college graduation. Over the years, she has had the opportunity to work in all the rooms, spending five years in the 18-30-month room before transitioning to the baby room as the room leader. Most recently, she stepped up as third in charge and is now the deputy.


She takes great joy in watching children grow and thrive during their time at the nursery, especially as the early years are such a crucial period for development. She considers it a privilege to be part of each child's journey, from their first steps to being ready for school. Sadie is dedicated to creating a warm and nurturing environment where children can flourish and look forward to partnering with parents to support their child's growth during these important first five years.
