Testimonials

Windmill have been a brilliant nursery for my son who joined in February. He is so confident, kind and really enjoys tidying up now! He has really blossomed in their giraffe room and often comes home singing the songs they learn and role playing being his favourite key worker. It's clear to see how much he loves it at Windmill. I love that you collect your child from in the room which means you often get a sneak peak of them playing which it's just so gorgeous. He has made lots of friends and is able to tell me their names. He also told me he was the "special helper" and he got to make tea for his friends. We have younger twin boys who will certainly be going to windmill for their pre school too! I also like the fun days they put on, especially the Father's Day stay and play which I know was enjoyed by his dad and my son.

I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the wonderful experience my two year old daughter has had in Windmill Nursery. It has been truly amazing to witness her grow and progress so much during this time. Our daughter has not only developed new skills but has also blossomed in confidence and creativity. The nurturing environment and engaging activities have sparked a genuine love for learning in her. A special thank you to all the teachers for their dedication, patience, and passion. Your efforts have made a significant impact on our child's early development, and we are so grateful for the care and attention you provide every day.

Windmill Day Nursery are absolutely fantastic! My daughter has loved every minute here. I wish we had discovered this nursery sooner. She's made so many friends and loves her teachers. The teachers give me feedback everyday which I think is so important and reassuring, including sending you photos through their app. They got to know my child's personality and created activities she would enjoy, which was exploring her creativity and artistic side. They even listened to her ideas to create her own activity for the other children, and they brought her ideas to life! They have a beautiful, garden space which my child has loved playing and exploring in. Staff are incredibly helpful with any questions or concerns. Windmill nursery have done an amazing job in preparing my little one for primary school, she's confident, and very excited, which also takes my anxiety away! Very grateful towards the effort and love the staff put into the children at Windmill. I highly recommend!

My daughter has been attending Windmill Day Nursery since she was 9 months old, she is now 2.5 years old and she still loves going! The staff are all fantastic and make her time there so special. My daughter is thriving and learning so much, developing her personal and social skills. The staff are so knowledgeable on child development and are there to answer any questions along the way. The nursery has such a homely feel to it and there is a great big garden which gets used daily by the children! I would highly recommend Windmill to anyone looking for a safe, fun and inclusive environment for their children!

The staff at this nursery are absolutely fantastic and my daughter has such a great bond with her key worker and it's so lovely to see. They have a fab garden that the children get to enjoy everyday and they are always enjoying lots of messy play and doing things in the community.

My son started nursery late due to the pandemic. He learnt to walk and talk in lockdown but was behind in speech. Since starting Windmill Nursery he has blossomed and as an only child has grown so much to be with other children and share and learn from them. He has been very happy...excited even to go to this nursery every time. The communication to parents is so easy and close that you feel like you are talking to friends. Could not recommend this nursery enough.

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Windmill Day Nursery. Our daughter absolutely loves going in each day - she's always excited and full of smiles. The staff are so kind, caring, and nurturing, and it really shows in how much she's thriving. We feel incredibly lucky to have found such a warm, supportive, and welcoming environment for her.

Staff are really friendly and caring. My granddaughter loves going there. She always comes home happy. She has gained in her confidence. She loves playing in the garden. She has made friends. She always has a nice story to tell us when she gets home.

Such a warm and friendly atmosphere every day my child goes to Nursery. If I could afford to put him on for more hours, I would, as he loves it there and I feel 100% comfortable leaving him with all of the staff there.

My child absolutely loves the nursery setting. They cannot wait each morning to go and play with their friends. I believe this is the most important testament to a nursery setting. The staff are lovely and friendly. My child loves having fun with them every day. My child's language has improved, they have learned to count and recognise letters and can write their own name and type the names of their friends. We will be sad to say goodbye this year when we move to school.

Both my children have attended Windmill, the younger is still currently, and they have loved the staff and the atmosphere. The home from home feel and freedom to access the garden which has been recently redone is wonderful. Very happy and tired children at the end of every day. And the option for early drop off is so helpful to get ourselves to work smoothly.

My daughter has been going to Windmill Day Nursery for nearly 3 years and they really have gone above and beyond to accommodate us. They provide a great developmental environment for children with a varied array of learning throughout each day. I am happy with the care that my daughter has received not only in the baby room but also downstairs with the older children. We are due another child in July and they will also be going to Windmill Day Nursery. I highly recommend the nursery to anyone who maybe interested.

Amazing supportive team. I have always felt completely comfortable leaving my son and he is always so happy to be there. The staff have built up really strong relationships with him and have supported him when there have been changes within the nursery.
Highly recommend Windmill Nursery they are all great.

I cannot fault the care and attention the staff give to my son. Outdoor play is really important to us and the nursery ensure plenty of time is spent outside, especially the older ones. I love the homely setting and the freedom the children have to explore, play and grow.

Our youngest child has just left Windmill Day Nursery after 11 years of us having 1 or more children at the nursery. All of our children have been wonderfully cared for at the nursery. They've all got very different personalities and have different needs but each one of them thrived within Windmill Day Nursery. The nursery has a fantastic homely feel and the staff have always cared about families as a whole and not just the children who attend. We've been very lucky to have had such a wonderful nursery to help us care for our children x

My son started Windmill Day Nursery January this year… Since joining windmill, he has thrived! His talking has come on so well, he's so confident and outgoing. The activities he takes part in day to day are lovely, and he absolutely loves messy play - which they do a lot of at Windmill. I'd like to give a special mention to several members of staff for making his settling journey so smooth, and management. After a few months, my son now constantly talks about going to nursery and is excited to see all of his teachers and friends, the bonds he has made are amazing. Thank you everyone.

I would highly recommend Windmill nursery. It is a welcoming and well-managed nursery, and I have found that my child has greatly enjoyed and benefited from his time at the nursery. The activities are varied and immensely engaging, and the staff are friendly and helpful. We were very worried when we initially left our son in Windmill's care as he was only 9 months old but we need not have! He was well looked after, and we had daily updates of how his day had been, along with constant contact throughout the day if we felt at all worried or wanted to check he was ok. The staff were very patient and understanding with us, as new parents, and helped alleviate any concerns we might have had. Windmill has been a great nursery choice and we are very pleased with how they have looked after our precious child.

Windmill Day Nursery is a nursery that is like a family. The staff provide a high standard of care, whilst also allowing your child to learn independence - from Free play, to eating, to brushing teeth. The Monkey room gives a safe haven to the under 2s and provides a high level of feedback to parents (which is invaluable to parents who have just returned to work). The staff work closely with the child at the time of transition to the Giraffe and Panda rooms so the child is well settled. In the Giraffe and Panda rooms (2+) every aspect of care is centred around allowing your child make the transition from nursery to school. This is done gradually and with support and good communication with the parents. Having a year round nursery that provides a considered and high standard of care for your child in a family like setting, is difficult to find and I am pleased we found it!

Both my children have attended Windmill Day Nursery and I cannot recommend it highly enough. As a committee run nursery, you are always 100% sure that all decisions are made for the children! Thanks to everyone at Windmill for making it such a fab place for my kids to spend their first years!!

My little one really enjoys going to the nursery 3 days a week. He has a key person who he loves (always talks about her at home). He used to bite other kids when he felt crowded or pushed. Windmill Day Nursery really helped him with this biting issue and encouraged him to express his feelings more adequately. I'm really happy we chose this nursery for him and next year I'm planning on taking my daughter there too.

My son has been going to Windmill Day Nursery since he was 6 months on my return to work. Throughout his sessions his social/development skills are amazing, his learning is ongoing and he is ding everything he should be. The staff and management have always been friendly, kind and understanding with all of my son's needs. He loves going to nursery. The activities and learning he does there are always so well planned. I wouldn't take him anywhere else.
