Fantastic nursery - Highly recommended. Lots of activities to do on a daily basis. Very friendly staff and easy to approach about any concerns or even home problems. Lovely team.
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.
The nursery is very friendly and the staff are lovely, very attentive and communicative and helpful. The garden is very safe and secure and the children love to out there. The food is excellent with loads of choices.
My daughter looks forwards to coming to Windermere, we have noticed a huge change in her development. She was behind at her old nursery but she is progressing very well. We love it.
They have helped and advised when needed. She never wants to come home.
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!
My daughter has recently joined the nursery and has had a number of settling in sessions. With the staff being so supportive and reassuring it has made me feel confident to leave her in their care.
My son has been coming to Windermere for almost a year now and is learning so much and grown in confidence. He knows so much and recently learnt to write his name, joins in group games and has formed friendships, which is all thanks to the staff. The staff are very friendly and I feel happy and reassured that his transition to school will be easier.
As always, I can only praise this fantastic school for every aspect of its programme! The staff are exceptional and the facilities are excellent too. The care and attention my son has received in the past two years is superlative and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this excellent, outstanding nursery to anyone! Thank you!
My daughter has been coming here since January 2016 and absolutely loves it. All the staff are lovely and always happy to help or answer any questions. I have recommended a few people to this nursery and they have said how brilliant it is. Thank for all that you do!
Absolutely love this nursery. Really kind and caring staff who always take the time and special attention when my child needs it.
My son has come on leaps and bounds since starting here. He eats better, is polite and the staff have taught him to share. I'm in the process of potty training and the staff have helped and stuck to his needs. His vocabulary has improved so much too.
Parents worry in the summer about how their children will be in the sun and burn; not here, the staff make sure the children are frequently applied with sun cream, drink adequate amounts of water.
Lovely outside play area with bikes, water tables and climbing apparatus.
Lovely meals for the children serving breakfast, a hot meal at lunchtime and tea. I could not fault it here as children are provided with nappies at the school
I wanted to swap from afternoons to mornings. this was not an issue, and the manager has done very well and I'm proud to say my son is at this nursery.
I have used this nursery for both of my children and have been very satisfied with the standard of care and guidance from the nursery staff. They have given my children confidence in the wider world and helped to develop their social skills.
My daughter has been to this nursery since she was one year old. She has come so far. She used to cry for me all the time but the nursery staff always dealt with this and helped her overcome.
Friendly and creative environment for kids. My child's communication skills improved a lot. She became more confident, learned good values.
Both of my boys have been to this nursery. We have been coming here for the last six years! The staff are very friendly and the kids here always enjoyed coming. Made great friends - lifelong and learnt loads through playing and from the staff.
A fantastic nursery with wonderful staff who are warm, friendly and supportive. Both my children have, and are, developing very well here. I couldn't recommend a better place.
My son was apprehensive at first but soon settled in and appears to love it now. There is plenty for him to do, and clearly, the staff engaged with him, as they give a good review at the end of the day. He eats well and the menu is quite varied. He loves the outside and they have a great area to play when the weather permits.
Excellent experience for my little girl. When we were looking for a nursery for our child, the first preference was quality and that brought us to Windermere. The mature learning my daughter received from Windermere will make her stand in front of any body else anywhere in the world. I would say excellent place, excellent staff, excellent learning and brilliant experience.
The Windermere was an extremely good and helpful nursery for all aspects of the child's development. The staff is very dedicated. It was a lovely experience in the nice environment. Kids loved to be there whenever they could.

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”.
