Our day nursery in Rugby is for babies, toddlers and preschool children, with a strong focus on outdoor learning, movement and wellbeing. Our approach is guided by nature: children learn through real experiences, open-ended play and the freedom to explore both indoors and out.

Our children don’t just play outdoors – they learn from the seasons, the soil and the secret places of the garden at Blue Windmill Nursery. Inspired by the home, our nursery rooms feature cosy dens and child-led play spaces, designed to foster a sense of learning and belonging.The nursery day is all about squeezing the most fun out of spending time at Blue Windmill.
