Exploring the Blue Windmill Garden

day nursery garden play zones at Blue Windmill, Rugby

Blue Windmill Dens

Of course little explorers need secret paths and play dens. We use mini “zones” and child-led imaginative play spaces to promote curiosity.

Baby Garden

A love of the outdoors starts young, and we’ve created an environment especially for our youngest nursery members, in the Baby Garden.

Big Lessons from Little Ducks

Our small duck pond is home to two friendly ducks. Children love watching and caring for them, learning gentleness, responsibility and respect for nature in a safe, hands-on way.

Behind the Garden Gate

Come and take a peek at how our garden is growing and changing. Since Sharon and Aaran became the new owners in January 2026, they’ve been busy creating exciting new outdoor spaces.

Quotes

“At Blue Windmill Day Nursery, the outdoors isn’t an afterthought – it’s at the heart of what we do.”
