Thanks for all.
My only personal niggle would be to have more observations and photos of his time at the nursery as working full time, you feel as though you are missing out on that time with your child. Seeing what he does, allows me the opportunity to share his experiences of nursery at home. However, I do appreciate that the staff's time is better spent playing with him than behind a camera.
I am very happy with the care he receives, which is why I highly recommend Windermere Day Nursery.
My daughter is well looked after by all the team at Windermere Day Nursery. I feel comfortable leaving her in the morning and so pleased to see her happy little face at the end of the day. Each key worker has built a strong connection with her. Moving her to Windermere Day Nursery from a different nursery was the best decision for us as a family!
Absolutely delighted with the care, service and experience my daughter receives in the butterflies class. She is so happy and secure and we love the variety of activities and development opportunities she has to explore and expand her little world. Windermere Day Nursery (Kettering) thoroughly deserves its Ofsted's Outstanding accreditation. She has also built lovely little friendships and bonds with many of her other children in the group and gets on great with the teachers. We highly recommend this nursery. The food is also really nutritious for them. The only challenge we have experienced is we keep getting locked out of the app for updates. Not the nursery's fault but we miss the experience of being able to regularly check on her progress. Please can HQ address.
I am very happy with the nursery. The management and staff are very good. I am so thankful to the teachers. I feel my daughter is well supported by her teachers. The nursery has adequate facilities for the total improvement of kids in all aspects. I had a fear in the beginning about how my daughter would cope with nursery but she was very supported by her teachers. Thank you, Windermere.
My kids have loved being at Windermere, the staff in their rooms always make each day interesting for them. They have both thrived and have enjoyed the environment in their rooms.
The nursery is absolutely fantastic. My daughter has thrived during her time here. All of the staff are lovely and approachable. I would highly recommend.
I find the staff friendly, nice and welcoming. My daughter loves coming to nursery. I would recommend Windermere Day Nursery to everyone! Best nursery in Kettering!
Windermere has helped my child flourish. She is confident with her peers and adults. She is able to write her own name and count to fifty. Every member of staff is a credit to the company. They know every child's needs and wants.
The nursery has been such an amazing experience for my daughter for the last two years. She has grown. All the staff have been amazing and very approachable in the pre-school room. I have really built a relationship with the staff. Front of house is always easy to talk to.
The staff and management team are very welcoming, friendly and extremely helpful.
The large garden areas are great for our daughter who loves to play outdoors.
I would definitely recommend Windermere Day Nursery!
Windermere Day Nursery is an excellent provision for children. My child has been attending the nursery for 3 years, and I would highly recommend it. Any issues are dealt with straight away and communication between the parent and key workers is excellent. Relationships between the children and adults are also excellent. The topics for learning are interesting and enjoyable. Thank you Windermere.
For various reasons we've had to use different nurseries and Windermere has definitely been the best. It's organised, welcoming and caring.
Unfortunately, this nursery is not as good as it was in the pre-covid phase. The quality of this nursery has drastically dropped down now. Some staff are good and caring but a few of them are rude and unpleasant. This nursery doesn't provide any support even for special needs children. Staff are overworked so they don't really bother about kids and their requirements. There is always a long queue of parents outside of the nursery to pick up their children, parents will wait there for a long time in heavy rain and freezing cold with no proper shelter. Parking is always a long term issue. Staff is not capable to take care of children with a temper tantrum, as they lose their own temper because of overwork and some of them even look incompetent. They even don't bother to reply to parent's email, as they like to ignore it always. The childcare app is just a formality there, with just an occasional update of children's activities. They even don't bother to inform me when they changed my son's key person.
Firstly, I was very grateful for the opportunity you gave me to clear up some misconceptions about our Ofsted-rated Outstanding nursery and our Covid-secure operating procedures. It is important that I stress again we have a highly qualified Special Educational Needs Coordinator, who has been at...
Our son has been attending the nursery since he was a baby. He has come on leaps and bounds, in all aspects, especially speech. The staff are very friendly, welcoming, responsive and always put your mind at rest and listen to any concerns. I do sometimes ring and see how our son is and they do not mind at all and are happy to help! Great for when I left my baby for the first time. Great meals and activities for the children, our son always has so much fun with his friends. Updates and images are uploaded onto an app as well as assessments, so parents can regularly see how their little one is getting on.
My son has been attending this nursery since he was 20 months old and he’s always excited to go there. Good and friendly staff, great meals, excellent communication from the management and clean learning environment for kids.
My daughter started at Windermere in June 2020. She has settled in really well with the support of the lovely staff. I get sent photos and updates on how she is and she really seems to be enjoying it. The staff keep me informed and updated regularly and are always at the end of the phone to answer my questions. I feel at ease knowing she’s really cared for and I can’t thank the staff enough especially as it’s not easy times due to COVID-19. I would highly recommend this nursery.
2. Constructive feedback given by parents is always taken in a positive manner.
3. I would recommend this nursery any day.
4. I am an ambitious Dad and want my child to excel in academics. This concern of mine has been taken up positively by the staff. My eldest starts school in September and I am paying for him to continue at the nursery through summer with a focus on getting the child "school ready". The staff have taken my feedback on board and are working with the child accordingly, without putting too much pressure on him.
5. I have two little boys at this nursery going all day, five days a week. No discount other than a 10% sibling discount for the older child. So yes, the fees do add up to close to £2,000 a month for the family. During these times of the Coronavirus and a bleak job market, it is a stretch for the family but we are managing as we have a little one at home that needs extra care at this time.
My son adores going to nursery and feels supported and cared for by all of the staff. They do a wide range of activities with the children and encourage any particular interests they may have! They spend a lot of time outside and my son has gone on trips outside of the nursery.
I would 100% recommend Windermere nursery to anyone looking for childcare in and around Kettering.
I can't thank them enough and I look forward to seeing my daughter continue to thrive.

Meet the Team (1)
Amy is the Manager of Windermere Day Nursery in Kettering and has a wealth of experience, having worked in the early years sector for 29 years. Amy worked as a Manager for 17 years at her previous setting, before joining Childbase Partnership and becoming manager in 2018. Amy has numerous qualifications, including her Level 3 in Childcare.
My favourite feature is the large and spacious garden which is quiet and calming with lots of areas for the children to explore. The nursery rooms are not only separated for the age groups but also have separate rooms within those areas, allowing lots of free flow for the children to aid us in creating fantastic, engaging, enabling environments.
I am most proud of the long-standing experienced team, that works together supporting each other and sharing ideas and knowledge of the children we care for to make sure each child experiences the best day every day. There is a good team spirit on the whole and a “want to achieve attitude”.
