The best nursery going, my little girl has loved coming here. The staff are amazing and so caring. They are always updating me with photos and infomation. We are going to miss it so much when she leaves for school in September. Highly reccomend!!
The best nursery. So glad I chose to send my child here, so much so that I am sending my baby here too. Lovely atmosphere and staff. A loving kind and caring environment. My child has thrived here and loved every moment.
They have been truly amazing, caring, understanding and overall brilliant staff, I could not recommend this nursery enough.
An excellent educational set up, that has the child's welfare / interest at heart. A great balance of activities which is structured from all areas of the curriculum, guided by experienced and nurturing staff that are welcoming and always ready to listen. When the interaction, communication and bond between staff, child and parent is all working brilliantly you know you are on to a winner.
My son started at windmill nursery when he was 1 and a half and from the very first day I know i had made the right choice. My son is very emotional and finds change difficult. Every member of staff have taken him under their wing and support him everyday. They have support me and helped me as a first time mum and I can't thank them enough. I never have to worry because it feels like dropping him of with family, I can ask them anything and we are always met with a smile at the door.
Lovely feedback and delighted to hear such feedback. Thank you.
My son is currently there and loves going to nursery every week.
He has thrived since going and the staff are amazing with him.
I get regular updates from them about his progress through the app and also excellent communication from the staff when picking up and dropping off.
I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone who's thinking of a nursery to choose.
Great room transitions from baby to toddler to pre school.
Kept up to date daily through the app with activities he has been involved in.
Good opening hours.
Staff go out of their way to really know your child.
A great experience overall.
My daughter started at windmill day nursery when she was 9 months old, she is now 1 and is absolutely thriving. The staff are absolutely brilliant & I have pure peace of mind leaving my daughter there knowing she is safe & extremely well looked after. She has grown in confidence, learnt new skills & is always so happy to go to nursery. The nursery itself is homely & very well equipped for the children.. it has just a lovely feel to it which I feel is super important. So thank you to all the staff for looking after my daughter the way you do.. it doesn't go unnoticed, she adores you all. Also the new food menu is 5* I wish I could come for lunch!
We are very happy with the nursery and the care our grandson receives. He is always well looked after, and the staff are caring, friendly, and attentive. We are kept well informed about his progress and daily activities, which gives us great peace of mind. Most importantly, we feel he is safe, happy, and secure whenever he is there. We would highly recommend this nursery.
My little boy has attended Windmill Day Nursery since he was 10 months old. He is always happy to go to nursery and welcomed by the staff every morning. He has made positive progress in all areas of his development over the last 4 years which has supported him to start school in September. There has been consistent staff over as well as some new team members who are always friendly and welcoming. I've previously recommended Windmill to family members who have sent their children there and been happy. I would definitely recommend to any parent or carer who are wanting to find a nurturing, safe and happy setting.
Thank you for your feedback. Delighted that your son is happy and thriving. Thank you for the recommendation also.
The nursery keeps us regularly updated with photos and information, which I really appreciate. It's wonderful to see how much she enjoys both the indoor and outdoor activities.
All of the staff are kind, caring, approachable, and always welcoming at drop-off and collection times. They genuinely care about the children and create such a warm and nurturing environment.
All three of my children have attended Windmill Day Nursery, and I wouldn't choose anywhere else. We have always been so happy with the care and support they have received, and I would wholeheartedly recommend the nursery to other families.
Thank you for your comment, it means a great deal to receive feedback to help us grow and develop.
Brilliant nursery! The staff are fabulous and so caring. My son is absolutely thriving here and always so happy to go in. He doesn't like leaving them, it's very family oriented and all the staff make you feel really welcome and comfortable. My son started at 9 months old and his development has come on leaps and bounds. Staff go above and beyond for the parents and children, nothing is too much and have really help put me at ease with any worries about my son. Both my children have been to this nursery and I would highly recommend to everyone.
Thank you for your comment. We love to hear all experiences - especially experiences as positive as this!
Windmill is the perfect day nursery for us. When I was looking for a nursery for my boy I wanted somewhere small where he would be well known to all staff, and Windmill offers just that! As a nervous first-time mum, leaving my baby was terrifying, but the staff here put me completely at ease. My boy absolutely loves going to nursery and loves all of the staff. The staff are so attentive and genuinely love the children they look after! We are so grateful to have had such a positive experience!
