Windsor Nursery School was established in 1975 as a temporary building. Family Support services were developed much later and initially supported through Sure Start and then Children In Need funding. In 2008 Windsor Nursery School became Windsor Centre for Children and Families as it was designated as a Children’s Centre. It is registered by the Local Authority and Ofsted. An Ofsted inspection in 2007 saw Windsor receive an ‘outstanding’ outcome.
