Windmill Primary School

Windmill Nursery is a sessional nursery that works with the school term times.  We have morning and afternoon sessions and have provision for 15 and 30 hour placements – subject to government requirements.

We take children the term after their third birthday (for example, a child who has their third birthday in September will be able to start in our Nursery in January).

Please let us know if you have arranged for someone different to collect your child.  We will not release your child to another person even if your child knows them, unless we have been told by you.

We do PE on a Tuesday, so please make sure your children are wearing suitable clothes.

Forest Friday... is on a Friday!  Please ensure that your child comes to nursery suitably dressed because we will spend a considerable amount of the session outside.  Children will need a pair of wellies, a long sleeved top and trousers. They should still bring shoes as they will be needed when back in nursery.

Please send your child in clothes suitable for the time of year:

• In the warmer months, a sunhat and sun-cream will be needed
• In the cooler months, bring a warm hat, gloves and a warm coat
• For both times of the year waterproofs are often needed (coat and trousers)
  • If you don't have your own, please let us know and we may be able to provide some

Feel free to join us on Thursdays for Stay and Play at 10:00 and 14:00. 

There will also be various events during the term, including Singalongs, nursery drops in, play and stay sessions but we will notify you in advance of these events.

Thank you for choosing Windmill Nursery and trusting us to be the starting blocks for your child’s educational journey.  We look forward to welcoming you!
