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!

Overall Experience

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.

Review from Charmaine N (Mother of Child) published on 21 October 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The nursery is fantastic; clean and friendly with outstanding staff. Mass variety of educational toys, whiteboards, personal stereo, book corner, nap area, and craft area.
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.

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.

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

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.

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”.
