My son loves the nursery because of the kind and friendly atmosphere. The manager is very accommodating and flexible. He loves the food and always eats it all up. There is a great variety in the menu.

Overall Experience
My son started in Windermere Nursery. At the start he was afraid, he doesn't speak English because we are from Slovakia. At 3 years old he got free funding and from this time, he changed - he loves all the activities, started talking English, start drawing, writing, counting.

I am very happy with this nursery and my daughter now attends :)

Professional, caring and supportive staff, who always smile when we arrive to pick up our children.
They are always smartly dressed and have created a wonderful atmosphere within the nursery.

Their attitude is very good and I would recommend any child to come to this nursery.

The staff at Windermere Day Nursery are a friendly, approachable and kind bunch whose priority is the optimal development of the children in their care.

Overall Experience

Windermere has been great for my daughter. She has settled in very quickly.

The staff are all extremely friendly and already know her by name.

Her confidence and speech have improved since starting nursery in January. The range of different activities is excellent.

A very friendly nursery.

My son started a couple of months ago and all the girls have been amazing and so helpful. As a single mum, the girls have made the transition a lot easier. Wouldn't want him at any other nursery.

Overall Experience

Both of my children have developed so well at the nursery. They both enjoy the activities, the environment, the staff and the food. When we moved we could have chosen a nursery closer to home but didn't as the children love it.

My child loves coming to the nursery. He tells me off if it is a day he isn't coming. The staff are amazing and my son has come on leaps and bounds. He has already learnt his letter sounds. The manager has been really helpful and very knowledgeable.

Review from Lisa J (Mother of Child) published on 18 January 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

After two attempts at the other nurseries, I came across Windermere. From the first point of contact, I felt confident with this nursery. Management is always available and accommodates my requirements for my two young boys. All staff are reassuring and always keep me and my husband up to date with our boy's development. Recently had a baby girl and no doubt what so ever that she shall be joining Windermere in the near future. From a mother who used to watch the clock till picking them up to now relaxed and enjoying whatever I shall be doing since they joined Windermere. I can't thank them all enough!

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”.
