A wonderful nursery and all the staff are very friendly and welcoming. My daughter started in September when she was 16 months old and she's not had any issues with me leaving her. She loves attending and I know she is in safe hands, and having a great time. The setting is clean and bright and there are always different activities going on. She also loves the food served there and often has a second helping.
Thank you so much for such a positive review. We are so glad that your little one is so happy with us.
Our little boy has absolutely loved joining Puffins. At first, he was a little nervous but the wonderful team are just so kind and friendly that he settled in so well. We couldn't be happier with sending our little chap to them, we know he is always having such a lovely time and is well looked after. Any minor bump or scrape is recorded and we are delighted to see pictures and reports every day of how he is getting on and what he has done that day. We love Puffins and are so pleased we made the choice for our son to attend this nursery. Thanks to all the team, we want you to know the job you do is so very important to us. You are helping to raise a very funny, independent, charming and cheeky little boy. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Thank you so much for such a positive review! Our team will be so delighted to hear your feedback.
My two children (aged 1 and 3) attend Puffins Pre-School & Day Nursery. The staff are wonderful despite some recent turnover. My three-year-old speaks highly of all her teachers and has learned a great deal. I would highly recommend it to anyone.
Thank you so much for your kind review. We really appreciate your feedback!
My daughter started at Puffins in October and loves her time there. Despite being one of the youngest, she is included in all activities and has gained both confidence and skills from interactions with older babies. The staff (especially her key worker) are always happy to answer any questions you have and really know my daughter on a personal level. I feel confident that my daughter is safe and happy when I drop her at nursery.
Thank you so much for such a lovely review! We really do appreciate your feedback.
My daughter moved to Puffin's in January and the staff was super friendly, they made her transition very smooth. It’s a bright, clean, modern setting with lots of choices of different daily activities and they always have at least one daily outing. Her key worker really focuses on mental well-being which we value. Our daughter is really happy here.
Thank you for such a lovely review C! It is an absolute pleasure to have your little one at Puffins, she has done so well!
Puffin's has been an amazing setting for our son. He started in the baby room at 18 months old and is now in the Pre-school room. The team are wonderful, they've worked with our son to get him settled and comfortable in the new environment (in both rooms) and now he loves going into pre-school. He has learnt so much since being at Puffin's, we continue to be amazed when he comes home and shows off his new skills/thing he's learned. Any queries or questions we've had in the past have always been answered quickly, the team always answer the phone if we ever want to check in to see how he is and the updates on the days he is in are great. We are really pleased we found Puffin's.
Thank you so much for such a lovely review, Evie! We are so proud of how your little one has grown in his time with us, it is an absolute pleasure to have him at Puffin's!
Fantastic nursery, so friendly and welcoming and professional. Our daughter loves her time there.
Love the app which gives updates throughout the day about our child’s meals, nappy’s, photos etc.
Would recommend to anyone!
Thank you so much for your kind review! We absolutely love having your little one at Puffins!
Puffin's is an outstanding nursery - from the beautiful setting, the caring and highly professional staff, through to the quality of the food, activities and engagement with parents, it is all top-notch. The owner and manager are such lovely people and their dedication and care for the children are shared by all of the staff. Our child always has a wonderful time, and if she is ever upset, she quickly settles and feels safe thanks to her brilliantly supportive teachers. It is such a privilege to be able to drop her off knowing that she will have a fun-filled day with walks outdoors no matter the weather and with people who genuinely care for her welfare and development. Highly recommend!
Thank you so much for such a wonderful review! We really appreciate your kind words. It is a pleasure to have your little one at Puffins!
Little one loves being outside and although the nursery has no real outside space on-site, the kiddo loves his walks down to the park areas.
Very happy with our choice of nursery.
Our garden is still in process, but it's looking like we should have it by the summer (fingers crossed)!
Puffin's is just the absolute best. Every single member of staff is wonderful with both of my children. They clearly genuinely care about them and their development. My children have experienced the baby room and the preschool room and both are fantastic.
Cannot rate it highly enough.
Thank you so much for such a wonderful review, Lydia! It's been so lovely to have you guys as part of the Puffin's family since the beginning.
The Puffin's team have always been fantastic, if my daughter is having one of those 'I don't want to go' days, they're always supportive and make sure she's settled in for the day and is always excited about the day. Great setting and location with well-organised walks nearby, clean and organised, definitely would recommend to others.
Thank you so much for your kind review J! I may be biased, but I have to agree that our team are fab. Thank you again.
Thank you to the wonderful team at Puffin's for caring for my son and helping to bring out his personality!
He loves his days at nursery and is always so excited to go.
It's such a comfort knowing he is so happy and well looked after whilst we're at work!
Thank you so much for your kind review, Sarah! We love having your little one at Puffin's.
We’ve been so impressed with Puffin’s. Every single staff member has been friendly, personable and professional and I know my son is in safe hands when he’s there. Despite a rocky start with lots of tears and separation anxiety, the whole team put my son and us at ease with their caring and upbeat nature and for that, I’m extremely grateful.
I also love the app that keeps us up to date on how much he’s eaten etc throughout the day and also the weekly email updates so we can see the activities he’s been doing. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Puffin’s.
Thank you so much for such a kind review! We are so pleased to have such positive feedback.
The most wonderful nursery! My little boy has been settling at nursery and is having the best time! The staff are for me the best part of our experience - friendly, caring and happy. They have gone above and beyond for us. I chose Puffin’s for him over 5 other nurseries I had seen locally as the moment we walked in I knew it was the right setting for him - well ran, incredibly clean, organised and the most lovely staff. I am so happy that he is so well cared for during his time at nursery.
Thank you so much for such a wonderful review, Natalie! We really appreciate your feedback.
My son loves going to Puffin's. The staff are really loving and caring towards the children and they encourage learning through a variety of mediums. What I love most though is they take the children out every day on a walk to the park/woods to explore and learn about nature. I get updates throughout the day via an app which gives me peace of mind.
Thank you so much for such a kind review, Gemma! We really appreciate your feedback.
It took my daughter a long time to settle into nursery life but without the amazing staff who were and still are caring and compassionate I feel she'd never of settled, she now enjoys nursery life and is blossoming. All members of staff from the rooms up to the owner are always so welcoming and accommodating and I'm delighted I chose to send my daughter to Puffins!
Thank you so much for such a kind review! We really appreciate such positive feedback.
I can highly recommend Puffins Pre-School & Day Nursery. My daughter started there in February 2021 and although she was nervous about joining a new setting, she settled in so quickly. They have such a variety of activities every single day and these change from week to week. I love the different themes that run across the entire week that incorporate indoor activities, outdoor activities and cooking. It feels like they are giving them experiences to enhance their learning but it's all done in a fun playing environment. The staff are so caring and supportive and have been excellent at communicating with us on our child's development and in times of illness. My daughter loves going there and talks so positively about all of the staff. I'm so glad we found Puffins.
Thank you so much for such a positive review! We really appreciate your feedback.
An exceptional nursery setting, I always feel my little one has been well looked after and staff are so caring and loving. I have had no issues, and my little one settled into nursery without any issues. Thank you to the wonderful team!
Thank you so much for such a positive review! We really appreciate your feedback.
My daughter enjoys her time at Puffins very much. She is a determined, strong-willed 3 year old and my wife and I had concerns at how long would she take to settle in and adapt. The staff have been fundamental in helping her transition into Puffins. Their care and support and the environment at the pre-school has made for a very smooth transition. There is a good mix of outdoor time and fun indoor activities. We are so pleased that we chose Puffins for our daughter.
Thank you so much for such a kind review! We really appreciate your feedback. The Puffins Team.
We were absolutely delighted to find such a gem of a nursery starting up so near to us, from the start it gave us that warm and family-friendly feeling we are all seeking for our children’s first steps into the world. All of the staff are genuinely caring people looking after the needs of our son in a wonderfully attentive and conscientious manner. It is obvious that the owner's enthusiasm and joy for looking after and educating young minds are replicated throughout the attitude and dedication of everyone who forms a part of the wonderful Windlesham team.
Thank you so much for such a kind review! Our goal is to provide a safe, nurturing environment for children to thrive in, and we are thrilled to hear that our passions show through our work! We have absolutely loved getting to know you all and have you join the Puffins family! Thank you again!

I have worked in Early Years for over 15 years, beginning my career as an Apprentice and progressing to my current role as Nursery Director. I have been with the company since it first opened in 2018 and played a key role in preparing the setting for opening, as well as welcoming our team and families into the Puffins family.
It has been a joy to be part of the nursery’s growth and to continue working alongside the wonderful team we have built together. I am passionate about creating a nurturing, supportive environment where children, families, and staff can thrive.
Outside of Puffins, I am a mummy to two lovely little girls, and I enjoy spending quality time with my family.
I have 13+ years of experience working with children and young people from being based in a nursery setting, where I became qualified and progressed to management level, to creating my own childminding business. I also have my own daughter who loved her Puffins journey. I joined Puffins in Oct 2022 as a deputy and am now the Manager. I really enjoy getting to know the children and parents and being able to make a positive difference within the setting. I look forward to continuing with this and welcoming new families to Puffins!

I trained as a level 3 nursery nurse at college and have worked in a variety of different childcare settings. I have been an SEN 1-1 with primary school-aged children, a teaching assistant, sure start centre assistant, a Montessori setting, and other private nurseries for around 5 years. I did a lot of volunteering with the guiding association as a teenager, and my first job was with a stage school as a teaching assistant. I took a break from working with children for a couple of years, but decided to return after having a little one of my own. My little one is in the baby room and is enjoying being at Puffins as much as I am.
I have worked in childcare for 13 years. I began my childcare journey in a nursery where I gained my qualifications. I then became a private nanny for 4 lovely families until I had my son Noah in December. I have loved having some time off with him spending quality time together, but am now looking forward to both our new journeys here at puffins.
