Overall Experience

Old Macdonalds Chorleywood is a wonderful nursery. The staff are so kind and caring, taking the time to really get to know the children and going above and beyond to ensure they have the best time during their day. They know how to put both parents and children at ease, offering kind and gentle advice

along the way. The activities are so thought out and offer a great range of development and fun. We love the stay and plays, and open evenings to get to know the new settings. Even the menu has so much thought put into it! Lovely team, great place and most importantly our children love it.

Overall Experience

There are so many positive things to say about this Nursery, it is difficult to only write a small paragraph!
Myself and my partner could not be happier with the care and support both we and our Daughter have received from all the staff at Old McDonald's Chorleywood. From the staff in Lambs room,

to the Management team; everyone has been so incredibly kind, attentive and caring.
We had a little bit of a rocky start with our Daughters settle in sessions, and the staff members were so flexible and quick into action to put together a plan to ensure our little girl was ready and settled for her first day! They are superstars and everything they suggested worked a treat, we now receive videos of our little girl laughing and smiling with all the team whilst there!
Thank you so much for welcoming our Daughter with open arms and the upmost care, we look forward to our families future journey with Old McDonald's Chorleywood!!

Old MacDonald's Day Nursery Anouska's
from Adam H (Father of Child) published on 18 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Both my children attended Anouskas at The Grove over the period of 2020 to July 2025 and I can safely say that they have been given a wonderful start to their lives courtesy of the experience and care that they received from The Grove. The staff make the place what it is and throughout their journeys,

they have had unbelievable support from key workers and other staff. The facilities and clean and spacious and the outside space also benefits from its location nestled in the delightful surrounds of The Grove. We were always impressed by the communication and curriculum offered and would recommend to any parent.

Old MacDonald's Day Nursery Leverstock Green
from K O (Mother of Child) published on 15 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Our daughter started at this nursery in July when she was just 7 months old, and as first-time parents, the whole experience has been far more positive than we could have imagined. Choosing childcare is such a big decision, and from the very beginning we felt reassured that this was the right place

for her.

We first visited the nursery for a tour a month before her start date, and we were immediately struck by how welcoming and friendly the staff were. Every member of the team we met that day took time to say hello, answer our questions, and explain how the nursery operates. The rooms were bright, clean, and filled with a wide variety of toys and activities designed to engage children of different ages and stages. There was a clear sense of structure, but also plenty of opportunity for play and exploration. We left that visit feeling impressed and confident that this would be a nurturing environment for our little girl.

from Jayna G (Mother of Child) published on 12 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My son has been attending Old Macdonald Nursery since he was 1 years old and he has had an absolutely amazing experience there.
The staff/carers are all so lovely and caring and he has really created some beautiful bonds with the girls that look after him. They are attentive to him and his emotions

and have helped his development throughout the last 3 years. We have been given regular updates and been kept in the loop of my son's days at nursery, how he has progressed, the friends he has made, what he can improve on/work on and how we can help him at home. There's a nice balance between indoor and outdoor learning too. The nursery hold regular events that parents can attend and feel more involved I.e. parents evening, stay and play sessions etc.
We have thoroughly enjoyed attending these! Couldn't recommend this nursery more! We have had a great experience with them and look to send our second child there too!

Our little girl has a lovely time at Old Macs, the staff are all really lovely, incredibly helpful and accommodating. There are fun activities every day and the meals/snacks are great. They have been really helpful in adapting to schedules and changes as well as keeping us up to date on how she is and

how her days been. Seeing the photos of her enjoying herself every day is wonderful.

from Lucy C (Mother of Child) published on 11 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My son went to Old MacDonald's Day Nursery Anouska's when he was just 6 months old and they have been incredible for both of us when I was nervous about leaving him so young. He's never once cried being dropped off, he truly loves it there. The team are professional and dedicated to the children's development.

He learnt to crawl, walk, use cutlery, and now talk all under their care and he has blossomed into a very social little boy. They are meticulous in looking after the children's' safety, and when my son had an anaphylactic reaction over Christmas, they handled it so well when he returned to nursery and continue to do so. When I ask him who he played with today, more often than not he mentions one of the team rather than another child. I know he's in safe hands and best of all, he is happy.

from D C (Mother of Child) published on 11 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My daughter joined the nursery shortly after we moved from France last year, and it really helped her to settle into her new environment. The nursery has done a wonderful job supporting her development - she was learning something new every day and built such a positive experience. The staff have always

been kind, caring, and supportive, and we are truly grateful for all their efforts. I can tell that my daughter was very sad to leave because she missed her friends and all her nursery teachers. A great nursery - highly recommended.

Our children have thrived at Old Mac's - amazing themes, dedication, and school readiness! The ball pool at the end of the day really helps get the kids energy out. The proximity to the park and walks in the woods are also great!

I cannot thank the whole team enough the care and attention that my daughter has received in the last 3 years is second to none. She has been in Old MacDonald's Day Nursery Anouskas since she was one and has turned into a very happy bright young girl she loves going to nursery and enjoys every activity

they have created. Everyone has been amazing and I would recommend to anyone with a child looking for a nursery.

Overall Experience

When the time came to return to work , I knew my little one would be safe in the hands of Old MacDonalds staff Nursery. Having had previous interactions with different settings through my niece and nephew , I already felt part of the Old Macs family. My daughter currently attends at the Chorleywood

setting and has just flourished in the Lambs Baby Room. From the activities they plan, to the close interaction with your child to then communicating with you and sharing their progress I just can't fault the staff. Thank you Old MacDonald's Chorleywood for making me a happy and reassured mummy returning to work.

Overall Experience

Old MacDonald's Day Nursery Anouska's Lodge is a truly wonderful nursery. There is always so much for the children to do, and every time we drop off or pick up the kids all look so happy and content. My little girl had such a great induction experience to help her settle and was so welcoming to both

of us. We receive regular updates throughout the day, and you can tell that the staff genuinely care for your child - they give personalised feedback on how my little girl has been during the day, which means so much. The food is excellent and changes lots, and the setting feels warm and welcoming. The staff and manager are absolutely fantastic - caring, professional, and with a genuine rapport with the children and families. Most importantly, my little girl absolutely loves going, which says it all. She's missed them all this summer and can't wait for September!

Overall Experience

I've had 2 children in this setting over the last 6 years and have had a brilliant experience. Even when things weren't perfect (nothing ever is!) I felt heard, considered and included in every aspect of care offered for my little ones. I would highly recommend Old MacDonald's Day Nursery Anouska's

for their incredible approach to care, how they nurture the children, the setting itself (regular walks in the woods is not something that you can find elsewhere) and brilliant staff and management teams.

Overall Experience

Can't recommend Old MacDonald's Day Nursery Anouskas enough! As a first time parent it was nervous time for us leaving our little one for preschool especially as it was his first time being away from us to be cared by someone else/ others but the care and professionalism from the staff is above and

beyond.

He started as such a nervous boy but is now is leaving with so much confidence with a huge love for all of his key workers the best memories and new skills which we couldn't have achieved without all the staff there.

We are so sad to leave that place but we will continue to recommend this place to everyone we know!!!

I could not recommend Old Macs highly enough. After a 2 week holiday my son had troubles settling back in. The staff went above and beyond to help him settle back in with a robust plan and lots of additional care.

The staff are so friendly and professional, we are delighted to have sent our son there

(and my daughter will join soon too).

An excellent nursery with brilliant staff.
