My little boy started at Windermere after being at another nursery previously and he has come on leaps and bounds. He now loves going to nursery and is always asking if today is a nursery day.

My little boy started at Windermere after being at another nursery previously and he has come on leaps and bounds. He now loves going to nursery and is always asking if today is a nursery day. All the staff there greet him as we walk in and out every time and everyone working there is very caring and polite. Couldn't recommend them more.

Since our daughter started at the nursery at the beginning of this month, we have been really happy with the care and support that she has received. The staff have all been very kind and loving towards her which has been wonderful and greatly appreciated by us as parents. Our little girl has been enjoying lots of her meals, trying out new flavours and tastes. She has enjoyed playing with the other children and with all the different variety of toys. The photo board and her family book are a great idea to make her feel more at home. Thank you!

My son was with Windermere Nursery from 11 months old to pre-school. He got amazing support from all the staff members at Windermere. The nursery was always open, also during the Covid period. All the staff members took good care of my son who had a speech delay and helped with his speech and overall development. I would recommend this nursery to all my friends.

It has been a great experience taking both our children to Windermere Day Nursery. The staff were very supportive and caring and my kids enjoyed every day of nursery. My oldest child is just starting school this September and he has learned and developed so much over the time he has attended Windermere. I'm sure he will miss all the staff here.
A wonderful nursery with fantastic staff. Always willing to help to make your child feel at ease. My son was very shy and quiet when he started and by the end of his time in pre-school, he's now a confident and happy boy. He now looks forward to his pre-school sessions!

It has been a pleasure watching our daughter grow and develop whilst at Windermere Day Nursery. All staff have been supportive and friendly in each room and it is clear there is a real focus on child welfare, development and above all else having fun. Children are encouraged to explore, ask questions and understand nature and the wider world in a safe and structured environment. We would thoroughly recommend Windermere Day Nursery.
The caring environment created by the staff is amazing and gives the children the perfect setting to learn, develop, play and make friends. We could not be more impressed with the service that has been delivered.

Our daughter is leaving Windermere at the end of this month as she is starting her school journey. She has loved Windermere Day Nursery. We are so grateful for her experience, the staff and what she has learnt whilst being at nursery. We couldn't recommend Windermere Day Nursery enough.

My child has attended Windermere since she was a baby, starting in the baby room and finishing in the preschool room. She has formed great friendships with the staff here, who have supported her and guided her throughout every stage of development.

Thanks for all.
My son has been attending Windermere Day Nursery on a full-time basis for just under two years and he has received nothing but amazing care from all the staff in the rooms he has been in. They are nurturing, patient, very caring and completely understand his needs. I always feel very welcome when...
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.

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.

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.

What is your favourite feature of Windermere?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”.
