My daughter has been attending Windmills since the start of the year, when she started we wasn't mobile nor verbal. In the past three months the nursery staff have supported us in giving our girl the confidence to crawl and be vocal. We've seen such an incredibly positive impact on our child's development since being in the care of the fabulous staff in the baby room and we couldn't be happier with how accommodating the staff have been with our needs around extra sessions etc, the staff have also taken into consideration the wants and needs of my daughter, she's not one who wants to be held or touched and the ladies have really taken on board how to work around that, an really do understand what works best for us all, I'll be lost if it wasn't for the staff and windmills they truly are pure Angels and always smiling. THANK YOU LADIES

Our daughter gets the best care and experience from all the staff at Windmill Nursery. We're happy to send our child there every day with no concerns. Thank you.

A fantastic child led nursery, brilliant staff and a very welcomong home like feel for the children. My daughter never ate her food but has recently been supported and encouraged to try new foods by the amazing staff! The staff try their best to make you feel at ease leaving your child away from home. I couldn't recommend enough, this nursery is amazing!

My daughter is currently in the pre-school class at Windmill Nursery. We have been particularly impressed with her teachers, who go above and beyond. The teachers recently explained how they have introduced Montessori methods of teaching into the classroom. I believe this style of teaching has benefitted our daughter's development. As a result she enjoys the independence of making her own breakfast and getting ready for the day at home. There are structured activities such as learning Makaton and Yoga which our daughter has enjoyed and shows us at home. Our daughter regularly tells us how much she loves nursery and her friends. I believe the nursery/teachers have created a lovely learning environment as well as preparing her for primary school next year.

I'm totally overwhelmed. I really appreciate Smart Start for the impact they made in my son's life. Thank you so much. We really appreciate it. Smart Start I give you 100/100. Thank you guys for the job well done.

I have seen the tremendous leap of improvement my child has made since she's been in the nursery. Impressed by a mile. Her social skills and vocabulary has come on leaps and bounds. I will have no hesitation recommending to family and friends.

My daughter is at this nursery, and she's thriving. I'm impressed with the comprehensively broad curriculum as well as the enthusiasm of the staff. They encourage independence in the children and give them the tools to learn. My only gripe when I first started was with one of the staff who appeared uninspired, but that was dealt with very very quickly.

Staff have been so accommodating and friendly to my family and helping my child settle into the nursery. We can't thank them enough. My child is very fussy with food and the staff have helped us to overcome this and cater our needs.

We are so grateful to the staff at Smart Start for everything they've done for us and our daughter. She's come on so much in the 18 months she's been there and we honestly couldn't have found anywhere more suited to both her needs as a toddler and ours as parents. We have a great relationship with the staff who are always thorough in their handovers, supportive of key milestones, will take our thoughts and feedback on board while swiftly putting them into practice and clearly love their job. Our daughter feels so at home at Smart Start and we can't wait for our secondborn to start later this year. Communication with management is better than it's ever been and we're proud of the role all of the room leaders are playing in our daughter's development.

I am very happy with the care provided by the Nursery to my godson. I can’t think of anything bad to say but I know if I did I could tell the nursery and they will take it into consideration and support. My godson has come on leaps and bounds and he enjoys his time at the nursery. I would recommend it to a friend.

Smart Start is a wonderful nursery. My son is flourishing in his speech development, motor skills and socialising. The staff are warm and welcoming and clearly care deeply about the children they look after.
26 March 2024
Both of my daughters have attended this nursery over the course of approximately three years. I have had so many supportive and helpful interactions with staff and management. Any concerns I’ve had have been quickly dealt with, and I’ve always felt reassured. I can honestly say the staff have gone above and beyond to support me and my family, especially one lady in pre-school as well as the deputy manager and manager.
25 March 2024
Since starting at the nursery, the progress I have seen in my nephew, both educationally and emotionally, has been fantastic! He is always eager to tell me about his day and what he has learnt, which is so great to hear. There are lots of events that are extended out to family members which means we get to join in on those special occasions.

My son has been attending Smart Start Nursery School for the past two years. He has come along leaps and bounds. The girls have been absolutely amazing towards my son, caring, supportive, encouraging, understanding and very informative when he is there with daily updates. He adores the ladies in his class. Would highly recommend.
18 March 2024
Highly recommend the nursery, they have great facilities, a lovely garden, really make an effort with activities with the children and the system of uploading photos of what my daughter has been up to is reassuring when I’m away. The nursery is also open to suggestions and genuinely wants a positive parent partnership.

Always friendly and welcoming. Know all the children like their own and give great handovers. Great homemade food, freshly prepped. Children even have opportunities to learn to dish themselves food and try a range of different things. Allergy awareness and learning opportunities for every child even from the youngest stage.

A very warm nursery with professional staff who have made my son settle in very well. Very happy with the nursery services. The daily feedback regarding feeding, daily activities and diaper changes is very comforting in knowing my son is well taken care of. Thank you very much.

The best decision was sending my little boy to Smart Start Gravesend! The development has been amazing to see over the two years he’s been there! The amount he’s learned has been great, and has also made great connections and relationships with his key carer. Overall, a great, friendly, family-oriented nursery!

My eldest daughter joined in 2019 and my youngest daughter joined in 2022, and both have really blossomed under the care of Smart Start. I have always really liked the staff in all the rooms, they're so caring and I feel like they really know my children. The garden is a lovely space for them to enjoy too.

An excellent nursery. The staff are amazing and really helped our child to learn and grow. They often came back home telling us what they did and how much fun they had. Always there when we wanted to talk or had any concerns.
