My son has been attending Nursery on the Green since September 2025, and we could not be happier. From the off, Michelle and the management team were extremely accommodating, even when we had to push back his start date. There was no issue when trying to re-organise his settling in sessions which instantly
made us feel comfortable. The staff are all welcoming and nurturing, and we are always greeted with smiles each morning. There were some tears at drop off initially, but with the support of his care workers in the Ladybirds room and comfort they offered my son, he is now extremely comfortable in the setting. I feel he is growing each day when he attends the nursery, and I love seeing the activities that he gets up to on the app, which gives great comfort to see that he is genuinely happy. The homely setting and kind and genuine staff make for a fantastic space. Huge thanks to Amy, Gracie and Emily for always being so kind and a great team! Would highly reccommend!

We are so pleased we chose River View for our son. Since joining, he has developed enormously in both confidence and skills. The environment is ideal for learning, and the team consistently encourages him to try new things and build new abilities.
He settled in very quickly, thanks to the care and
support of the team, who made sure both he and I felt comfortable and reassured during the transition into a new environment. I also really value that they spend time outdoors every day, weather permitting.
The food provided is varied and nutritious, which we greatly appreciate. Most of all, the staff are fantastic. Everyone we interact with at River View is warm and friendly, and it's clear they take the time to know every child by name, regardless of their role within the nursery.
We are especially pleased with his key worker, who regularly shares updates on his development and daily experiences. She is kind, caring, and has helped make nursery a happy, safe place for our son.

We couldn't be happier with this nursery. Our son is nearly two and absolutely loves going in each day, which says everything!
The staff are fantastic, warm, caring and genuinely invested in the children. He has built a wonderful relationship with his key worker and all the staff members there, even
talking about them when he's at home, which is really reassuring as parents.
The app updates throughout the day are brilliant, keeping us informed on meals, sleep, and we love receiving the photos showing all the fun moments from the things they do each day. There's always a great variety of engaging activities that they get up to!
It's such a comforting feeling knowing he is happy, settled and thriving in such a nurturing environment. We would highly recommend this nursery to any parent!

We think the nursery is excellent, our toddler has been there from 9 months old and loves it. She loves the staff, they teach her so much, she is always coming home with new words and songs and actions and independence skills. They do messy and fun activities every day, there's loads of singing and
dancing and sign language. There are no screens or electronic toys, the food is healthy, they are really helpful and flexible. The outside areas are excellent. Its a lovely place. We feel very lucky to have it close by. If there is ever a query the management are super quick to respond and resolve it.

Incredible nursery, I cannot fault them. They've supported our daughter for the last 18 months and she's thriving. We moved her from another nursery in WGC after we noticed the level of care was lacking. I'm still surprised and delighted by all the activities, crafts and meals she's experiencing. The
staff are brilliant and truly care about the children. They take the time to really get to know them and form great bonds.

Our daughter has been at Highbury since she was 11 months old and absolutely loves it. All of the staff are so kind, caring and nurturing. They make a great effort to learn every child's name, their siblings names and take an interest in their life outwith nursery. The skills, both motor and speech,
that she has developed are fantastic and have been commented on by friends and family. She has opportunities to try different activities, meet different people and try different food that we wouldn't be able to achieve at home. I feel very lucky that she gets such good care in such a fun and caring environment from such wonderful staff.

Our son has had a great experience over the last 18 months at Highbury lodge. We arranged plenty of settling in sessions that allowed him, and us as parents, to feel comfortable and relaxed with the environment and staff. He has always enjoyed going to nursery and they provide a wide range of activities
that have really helped him to develop and grow, and provided tailored support where needed. We have also been very happy with the food on offer, which seems to be very well balanced and varied. All the staff are very approachable, build great relationships with the children and seem to really enjoy their jobs. It's always lovely to chat with them at the end of each day to hear about what they have been up to.

Nurturing and welcoming environment. Our son is exceptionally happy at Nursery on the Green. Our son has attended a couple of local spots but this nursery feels head and shoulders above the rest. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

Highbury lodge is an outstanding nursery. The staff are all so friendly, supportive and caring. They have built such a good relationship with our child, and we completely trust them. The facilities are great and the rooms are constantly changing to include new toys and activities, and the staff really
go above and beyond to help the children to enjoy their time, play and learn. Our child has developed so much since going to Highbury lodge. The admin and management team are great and so approachable.

My kids both attend, with my eldest having been there for 16 months already. The staff is superb and very caring. The nursery is spotlessly clean and well organised. We love the open flow from rooms to outside space. Our children feel safe and happy and have built a little community of local friends.
We have nothing but praise for it and would recommend it in a heartbeat.

Our child has been at Rowan Tree since August 25. The staff are professional, pay attention to detail and ensure free flow time always offers a variety of activities . Many of the staff could give qualified teaching staff a run for their money , with well planned themes , personal objectives for each
child and thorough feedback at the end of each day. The staff are friendly and always make me feel welcome as a parent .they have supported toilet training , and encouraged my little girls independence. Within a month she was doing her own shoes, coat and has recently been sounding out phonics. We have really appreciated family based events - they've increased my child's sense of belonging . This nursery was a cut above others locally, with attention to detail ( books of the week, photographs of families on the walls ) Children have oppertunities to go on trips and take part in forest school . Safeguarding measures are constantly updated and communicated frequently. We are very happy

Our son started at Hertford Barns last summer and we've had a really positive experience so far. The settling-in process was very thorough and supportive as it did take our son quite a while to settle but the staff were amazing and helped make the transition much smoother for both our child and us.
The nursery itself is very spacious, with a great amount of outdoor space for the children to explore and enjoy which was really important to us.
I would recommend to any local families looking for a nursery for their child.

We love our nursery! We have a child in Butterflies and one in Ladybirds and honestly, we cannot fault a single thing. The staff are amazing and so many have worked at the nursery for many years - always a great sign. The facilities and meals are also excellent. Everyone, from the room leaders to the
admin staff and the cooks are always willing to go the extra mile for children and their families. We feel so lucky to be part of the Rowan Tree family! Cannot recommend this nursery enough.

My son has been at Hertford Barns for almost a year now and I can honestly say we made the best choice selecting this nursery. I have the utmost trust in the care, compassion and dedication to each child that Hertford Barns provides. There is always a warm welcome from reception and staff in the classrooms
and there is always a big smile on my son's face from arriving to leaving every day! All the staff are very attentive and he has a great relationship with many of the classroom assistants as well as his key workers which is testament to their care. I love the updates we get from their day, in particular the amount of outdoor time and freedom they have, especially visits with the animals! If there have ever been any worrying moments, especially at the start with settling sessions or when my son has been poorly the team have been so supportive and great at giving advice and extra check ins. We couldn't be happier for this to be the place he learns and grows, what a special place!

I just wanted to share my experience with Nursery on the Green (NOG) as we've completed a year here with my daughter. As a first-time parent, leaving your little one is daunting, but NOG has been amazingly supportive.
The keyworkers in Caterpillars really got to know us and helped settle my daughter
in, while guiding me to establish a consistent routine at home too. They even supported her weaning journey, teaching her self-weaning and independence, it's been brilliant!
We travel from Dunstable 4 times a week and I don't regret my choice at all. The vibe at NOG is what sold me, it's like nowhere else. Highly recommend

We've always been really happy with all aspects of Lime Grove. Our son has been there since he turned 1, starting in the baby room, working his way up most recently to pre-school. All the staff a lovely and all know him by name and in all the classes he's been in, the care has always been excellent.
The focus on learning play and growth is one of the things that we especially liked when selecting a nursery. The effort and interest in providing a varied, inclusive and supportive environment is excellent, and you can see why they have achieved 5 consecutive Outstanding ofsted ratings.
Food-wise the menu has been especially designed to provide a balanced menu and promote healthy, nutritious meals, including breakfast, lunch and tea, plus healthy snacks.
We couldn't be happier with our choice of nursery and can't recommend the team and this setting highly enough.
