Hi, I’m Jessica, the Nursery Manager at Windmill.

Every day at Windmill, we encourage children to be inquisitive and creative in our stimulating learning environment. In doing so, they quickly develop a real love of learning and a naturally curious mind.

Our experienced team brings a wealth of early years insight. We understand that every child is unique, with their own story to tell, so we make sure each child learns in a way—and at a pace—that’s just right for them.

Our happy, welcoming nursery is a space where children can imagine, explore and grow—whether they’re enjoying our creative play and sensory rooms, or heading outside to discover adventures in our large garden. We love bringing the indoors outside, often tailoring planned experiences to make the most of our outdoor spaces.

We work in close partnership with parents, building strong relationships that enrich each child’s development. Our home-from-home environment uses natural resources to spark imagination and wonder.

We’re proud to be part of such a vibrant and diverse community, and we celebrate a wide variety of cultural festivals throughout the year with our children and families.
