Day Nurseries Owned by Childbase Partnership in Hertfordshire

We cannot speak more highly of Nursery on the Green. Our son has been at the nursery since Dec 2024 - joining in the caterpillars room. The staff in caterpillars - especially Becca & Shannon put a huge amount of effort into both supporting my son settle to nursery life. He struggled to settle & they put so much care into him. When it was his turn to move rooms they made this so gentle and supportive for our son so he went to the next room with so much care - something we have heard doesn't always happen in other nurseries. Now in the Ladybird room the last year he has come on leaps and bounds developmentally. To shout out Gracie in the Ladybird room is a must. Children are so happy to see her every morning, her unbelievable amount of care, focus and consideration of helping my son achieve his goals has been second to none. Amy & Emily alongside Gracie are also incredible + Carli the Manager is the most organised, approachable, knowledgeable lady - 5 stars for this amazing team.

It is a truly wonderful nursery, I will be very sad when my son leaves for School in the Summer

We would highly recommend Nursery on the Green. 10/10.

I was really nervous putting my son into a nursery but after visiting Hertford Barns we felt at ease straight away. We absolutely love his nursery and as does he - he gets so excited to see all the staff and talks about them at home. Everyone is really friendly, the space itself is lovely and my son always comes home having learnt something new. We cannot fault it at all - 5 stars from us!

Grasshoppers St Albans is excellent! The staff are brilliant, the care and education is fantastic and our child has had a great time and made lots of friends. Our child will be tranfering to primary school in September and the experience she has had at grasshoppers has prepared her very well indeed. Thank you to the entire team for all their very hard work!

A very informative parents evening, great to hear how our daughter has been progressing.

Amazing learning for the children. Supportive nurturing environment. Knowledgeable team. Excellent feedback, lots of communication. Uses the outdoor space regularly.

Grasshoppers day nursery is an very excellent place for children. All the staff lovely, kind always greet parents with smiles, creating a warm and welcoming environment for everyone. I also pleased to share that my daughter settled in beautifuly and always comes home with a big smile! showing her growing confidence! Thank Grasshoppers team for making such a lovely environment!

Grasshoppers provides excellent care, support and learning for my child. They really show genuine care for my child and my child values all the staff and their key worker. My child enjoys prime time activities, the garden area and the facilities. They focus on promoting learning and encouraging good communication and good choices.

We have two children at Grasshoppers, our son (4) and daughter (2), and we are incredibly happy with the nursery generally. The team is stable, and they very nurturing and caring with the children. There seems to be a happy environment amongst the team and all the children. Both of our children are happy to go in in the morning, and seem happy and engaged at pick up. They are both developing close bonds with both the team and their peers and are both progressing well in their own personal development. Overall we are really happy with Grasshoppers and would highly recommend it to others.

Our daughter has a lovely time at Grasshoppers. She is cared for very well and has great fun. Her experiences are very varied and the teachers are very kind to her. I would love there to be more shade in the pre school garden!

Both of our children attended Riverview, and we couldn't be more pleased with the experience. The team is exceptional, and the facilities, including the building and gardens, are outstanding. We would highly recommend Riverview to other families.

Amazing nursery, our daughter Isla has been attending since she was 11 months and is now in Lady Birds. The bond she has formed with staff is incredible and it looks as though that has formed both ways. Office staff are lovely, staff in the room are always attentive, friendly and proactive. It is great to see updates from our daughter's day on the app too. Could not ask for a better nursery experience!

We have been so happy with our son's experience at River View . Leanne and the pre-school staff are warm, welcoming and supportive of both the parents and the children. Communication between the nursery and parents has been amazing, and the app is really helpful in keeping us informed. The facilities are clean, modern and they always seem to be adding to their collection of toys and books. Activities are wide ranging and the garden with its outdoor play equipment is hard to beat.

My daughter is so happy here with so many great learning opportunities, she's thriving. The staff are amazing from the moment I step in the door, couldn't ask for better! Thank you for looking after her

We feel really lucky that our daughter attends Rowan Tree and could not recommend it highly enough to others!

I moved my daughter to Rowan Tree nursery in October 2025. She has settled so well and is really happy there. She used to get very emotional at her previous setting but is excited to go to Rowan Tree. The staff are lovely and nothing is too much for them! Highly recommend

My daughter has attended Hertford Barnes nursery since she was 1 years old, the nursery is outstanding and made the transition of going back to work a lot easier as I knew she was in the best hands. All the staff are experienced, caring, reassuring and very professional in all areas. My daughter has absolutely thrived since joining and gained many skills. Also a special thank you to Sonia on reception who is always at hand to help with any forms or questions/information I am not sure on. Stacey, Rachel, Molly, Colin and Carla are so lovely and my daughter loves them. The space/ location and food standards are outstanding. Thank you hertford Barnes for taking such good care of my baby!

We're very happy with this nursery. All the team there are friendly, welcoming, and create such a warm environment for the children. It's clear they really care and put a lot of effort into making the nursery a safe and happy place. Our son enjoys his time there, and it gives us great peace of mind knowing he's in such good hands. Thank you to the whole team!

I was really nervous about returning to work and putting my little one into nursery, but Riverview has been amazing. The staff are so caring and reassuring, which made the transition much easier for both of us. My child settled in quickly and is genuinely happy there, which means everything. We love all of the updates we receive when he is there - highly recommend!
