Review from P R (Father of Child) published on 30 August 2022 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

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.

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.

Review from Emma L (Mother of Child) published on 27 July 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
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 going into the room and get a general handover at the end of the day about what he has done. My son is provided with a range of activities, which has helped him develop and I can see how much he has thrived since joining.
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.

Overall Experience

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!

Review from Dawn N (Mother of Child) published on 6 July 2022 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

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.

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.

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience
My daughter had to move to Windermere Day Nursry when her nursery closed due to Covid-19. It was a stressful time for everyone but the staff at Windermere made the whole situation a whole lot easier. My little girl settled really quickly and has had a great time in the year she's spent there.

For various reasons we've had to use different nurseries and Windermere has definitely been the best. It's organised, welcoming and caring.

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”.
