Our daughter leaves nursery this month to start school. Windermere and all her staff have given her the best possible start on her formative years. We are so grateful to all the staff that have had a hand in nurturing and helping her develop into the person she is now. All keyworkers involved in her development have been exceptionally skilled and all are a credit to the nursery. Thank you.

Review from Lola A (Mother of Child) published on 2 August 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I am very pleased with my kid at Windermere Day Nursery (Kettering), the staff are amazing and super. I didn't have a single doubt after my first son spent 2 years here to leaving my second son wasn't a worry at all and to say he started somewhere else but didn't fit in but when I moved him to Windermere Day Nursery (Kettering), he was perfectly fine.

If I were to have another child in the future will still book him or her to Windermere Day Nursery (Kettering) again. Thank you Windermere Day Nursery (Kettering) for your time, patience and care for my boys.

Overall Experience

I am extremely impressed with my son's progress and learning in pre-school 1. It has really excelled since joining the class. He enjoys coming to the nursery and looks forward to the activities. The team leader in the room puts a lot of thought and effort into activities for the children and it pays off because my son enjoys it so much. Thank you.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been coming to Windermere since 11 months old. Since being here she has just thrived. Her personality has come out and she is always so happy. Her social skills are fantastic and she loves playing with the other children. Her development has been incredible since starting Windermere Nursery. I cannot recommend the nursery enough. It's fantastic!

Overall Experience
As soon as I walked into Windermere I knew it was right... The rooms are a great size and always clean, with stimulating resources and equipment. My son has only been at the nursery for nearly two months and has settled very well. The staff are all very welcoming and knowledgeable. I love that in the baby room there is a room allocated for sleep and their own little outdoor space.

Overall very happy and would recommend it!

Overall Experience

My experience with Windermere Day Nursery has been wonderful, I couldn’t ask for a better nursery. They have helped my child to learn and grow as well as helping and guiding me and my wife along the way. The staff and manager really look out for us and are so caring, they keep us updated with activities in the nursery and how my son is doing. He has had a lovely time at the nursery and has grown attached to it. My family and I have certainly noticed an improvement in my child's interaction, he is confident and sociable and swiftly adjusts to having more children around him. Thank you, Windermere Day Nursery and all the staff working there for taking care of us! I would definitely recommend this nursery, you won’t be left disappointed.

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”.
