Established in 1960, Windmill Pre-school has just celebrated its 50th anniversary with a move to fantastic purpose-built new premises.  Exciting times with an exciting future, we look forward to welcoming you and your child to our pre-school.

Windmill Pre-school is registered as a charitable organisation and is run by a Management Committee, comprised of parents, on a voluntary basis. We have a team of highly dedicated Pre-school staff.  Our Leader is qualified to level 5 and holds a foundation degree in Early Years and Childcare.  Our Deputy Leader and another staff member are qualified to level 4 with our Deputy working towards her Foundation Degree in Early Years.  In addition we have two members of staff qualified to level 3, one qualified to level 2 and one at level 1.  Our staff also regularly attend courses to keep their knowledge up to date.

We are registered with Ofsted and have been rated as ‘Outstanding’ in our most recent inspection.  We are also members of the Pre-school Learning Alliance.  Click here to read our latest report.

Since January 2011, we have been based from our purpose-built pre-school building on the Brookmead School site in Ivinghoe where our focus is to ensure that each child is learning through play and making friends. We provide a range of daily activities to encourage children’s creativity, curiosity and co-ordination, all within the Early Years curriculum.

Your child is welcome to attend our sessions which run Monday to Friday 9am to 12pm with an option to also attend lunch club from 12pm-1pm each day.  We also open for afternoon sessions until 3pm on a Tuesday and Thursday.
