Review of Boys & Girls Nursery Rickmansworth from Karen B (Mother of Child) published on 10 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our boy is coming to the end of his time at boys and girls and our daughter went there too. We have had a lovely experience-they have both been very happy there. The food is great and the location is so handy right next to the station, but above all the staff are absolutely lovely-we have been so happy with the care and attention they have both received. A wonderful nursery.

Review of Boys & Girls Nursery Rickmansworth from Natalie L (Mother of Child) published on 8 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter joined the nursery in the baby room & has flourished through her nursery journey to Pre-School. From taking her first steps with the baby room, to starting her phonics journey in Pre-School she has grown in confidence through the nurturing care from the staff at nursery. Our daughter has food allergies which are catered for with a varied diet provided by the nursery chef which she thoroughly enjoys!

We are truly grateful to the care our daughter has received, and continues to receive.

Review of Boys & Girls Nursery Rickmansworth from Hannah C (Mother of Child) published on 4 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We couldn't be happier with this nursery and the incredible staff who work there. Every member of the team is so friendly, caring, and supportive, and they have created such special bonds with our daughter. From the moment she arrived, we knew she was safe, loved, and genuinely cared for.
We have already seen such amazing progress in her development and confidence, and it's wonderful to see the relationships and friendships she is forming. The nursery provides fantastic activities every day, with a great variety of games focused on different areas of learning and development, keeping the children engaged, happy, and constantly growing.

A special mention also has to go to the food - it is absolutely incredible! The on-site chef prepares delicious, healthy, freshly-cooked meals every day, we think this has definitely helped our daughter love her food and open to trying new meals!

Review of Boys & Girls Nursery Rickmansworth from Sriya K (Mother of Child) published on 4 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our son started in the Toddler room, and the staff could not have been more kind or helpful. They went completely out of their way to settle him in, keeping us reassured and updated the whole time.

Since joining, his confidence has soared and his speech is developing so fast! The team is always organising wonderful activities to keep the children developing. A special shout-out to Poppy, Grace, and Emily for being absolute superstars!

An exceptional nursery! Our daughter joined at 18 months when we moved to the area and we are always saying how amazing the nursery is & how lucky we are to get a space! The staff are all wonderful and they really care about her & her development- She's always so happy at drop off! We use the app and get all the updates of all the fun & thoughtful activities put on by the staff and the food she eats always sounds so good. We can't recommend more highly. Thanks so much!

Review of Boys & Girls Nursery Croxley Green from Samantha L (Mother of Child) published on 25 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter attended this nursery and preschool for two years, and I honestly couldn't recommend it highly enough. From the very beginning, the staff made us feel welcome, supported, and completely at ease. My daughter loved going to nursery/ preschool.

The staff are absolutely amazing - caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in the children's happiness and development. The care, patience, and warmth shown by everyone there goes above and beyond, and we will always be grateful for the role they played in her early years.

I've been very happy with the nursery staff since the beginning of interacting with them. They've been very helpful in answering any of our questions and have always been quick to reply.

Our daughter is loving going there, built a strong relationship with the nursery staff and seem to be enjoying the food a lot. Fresh varied food is provided and she seems to be striving there.

Review of Boys & Girls Nursery Watford from A O (Mother of Child) published on 12 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our overall experience at Boys& girls, Watford has been great, our daughter initially would be a little withdrawn while there but really settled in after a couple of months and bonded really well with the staff. They also have some nice activities to keep the children engaged while there and are always open to feedback/concerns from us as her parents. Would recommend.

Overall Experience

I cannot fault this place. My son has been so happy here. They do a lot of great activities and the outdoor space is wonderful... I used to love watching him in the garden at pick-up before he spotted me! They have visiting music company for singing and do a lot of arts and crafts. The app keeps you very well informed throughout the day and always a detailed handover at pickup. The staff are all lovely and friendly and traffic and parking is not an issue.

Review of Boys & Girls Nursery Watford from Rahmat A (Mother of Child) published on 2 October 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Since starting at Boys and Girls Nursery Watford, my toddler's vocabulary has improved considerably. She has learnt new things about the weather, fruits etc. They might seem like little things but she was just babbling when she arrived the nursery and in 3 months she's already stringing sentences like "Mummy, it's raining. Umbrella?". She's always excited to be there. I really appreciate the efforts by the staff at the nursery.

Review of Boys & Girls Nursery Rickmansworth from Shana M (Mother of Child) published on 11 August 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Both of my children have been part of the Boys & Girls family since they were just one years old, and now that my youngest is moving on to a nursery closer to our new home, I just wanted to take a moment to say an enormous thank you to the whole team.
From day one, the care, kindness, and professionalism shown by every member of staff has been exceptional. You've created such a warm, nurturing environment where my children have not only felt safe and loved but have truly thrived. The support, patience, and attention to detail you give each child has been clear to see and the positive impact it has had on both of mine has been incredible.
You've played such an important role in their early years, and I'm incredibly grateful for the memories you've helped them create. Thank you again for everything over the years, we will miss you all so much and will always look back on our time with Boys & Girls with huge fondness and appreciation.

Warmest Wishes.

Review of Boys & Girls Nursery Rickmansworth from I B (Mother of Child) published on 9 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My little boy has been flourishing at Boys & Girls Nursery Rickmansworth since joining in March 2025. This is due to the staff who really care for the children they look after. They create educational and interactive activities and gently work with my son as he develops verbally and physically. He really enjoys his day's at nursery and he comes home with a full belly, a huge smile on his face and plenty to talk about. We hope our positive journey with Boys & Girls Nursery Rickmansworth continues and would highly recommend this nursery to any of our friends and family.

Review of Boys & Girls Nursery Watford from O B (Father of Child) published on 30 June 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our little one loved his time at Boys & Girls nursery in Watford. It was his first time away from us and so was naturally hesitant at first but, with the care and guidance of his key person and all the other staff at B&G Watford he quickly settled in, made friends and looked forward to his days there. Her particularly enjoyed the various creative activities they do each day and he loved his time outside in their outdoor play area. The food is very good and and we appreciated the daily updates and photos the staff took time to share via the App.

We are happy to recommend this nursery, the children are well cared for and engaged in fun learning activities.

Thank you to all the team!

Review of Boys & Girls Nursery Watford from S N (Mother of Child) published on 23 June 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our daughter has thrived at Boys & Girls for the last 2 years, having spent time both in Toddler Room and Preschool. We felt she was looked after well and had enough age appropriate activities which kept her engaged , from cutting up their own salad for lunch to weekly external phonics session and music. She made many friends and had a good relationship with the staff. I feel the staff are caring and warm towards the children. We really valued the daily communication whether it was through the app or at pick up.
The front desk staff were always warm and friendly which made pick up and drop off more relaxed.

I would highly recommend Boys and Girls Nursery in Watford to parents.

Review of Boys & Girls Nursery Watford from Edward M (Father of Child) published on 29 May 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We had a wonderful experience at Boys & Girls Nursery in Watford, where my little one attended for a year before we moved to their Stanmore branch due to a change in job location.

The team in Watford is absolutely fantastic - friendly, caring, and incredibly knowledgeable. They made us feel welcomed and supported from day one, and my child thrived in their nurturing environment. The staff always took the time to get to know each child individually, and their genuine care and enthusiasm really showed.

I'm grateful for the solid foundation they gave my little one, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a warm and professional setting for their child.

Review of Boys & Girls Nursery Watford from M V (Mother of Child) published on 22 May 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our experience with this nursery has been largely disappointing. While it has a small outdoor garden, many other aspects fell short. The toilets were frequently unclean, and general cleanliness across the nursery was poor. Staff changed nearly every month, creating instability and inconsistency for the children.
More concerning, there were often too few staff members for the number of children, which led to multiple incidents where our son was hurt due to lack of supervision.
Staff were often outside on cigarette breaks, leaving children unattended.
He was frequently bored and unstimulated, receiving little to no individual attention, which forced us to put in extra effort at home to keep him engaged.
The only truly positive part of our experience was two members of staff in particular -kind, dedicated, and generous individuals who genuinely cared about the children. They were the heart of the nursery.

Unfortunately, without major improvements, we cannot recommend this nursery to other families.

Review of Boys & Girls Nursery Croxley Green from Amritha R (Mother of Child) published on 12 May 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter started with Boys and Girls Croxley Green in January 2025, and I was so pleased with how quickly she settled in the toddler room. The staff are genuinely warm, caring and nurturing and it's great to see her happily going into nursery every day. The environment is educational with a good mix of fun activities. The communication with the staff is clear and easy and I also love the app which gives us almost live information on all the activities of the day. It gives lot of peace of mind when I know that my daughter is in a caring and safe environment and I would highly recommend this to anyone. Thank you to the wonderful team for everything they do!
