Windsor made the decision to leave EastEnders earlier this year after playing matriarch Peggy Mitchell for 16 years, and her final scenes on the show aired in September.
The actress will next appear as part of the cast of pantomime Dick Whittington. She claims that the job has helped her move on from her days as a soap star.
"We started rehearsal on Monday and it was great, that camaraderie," Windsor told Holy Soap. "That's the only thing I've missed since I left EastEnders is that camaraderie."
Of her upcoming role playing Fairy Babs Bowbells, the actress said: "I'm nervous but a very excited nervous. I'm like a little girl."
Windsor makes her debut in Dick Whittington at the Bristol Hippodrome on December 11 and the show is scheduled to run until January 9.
