Day Nurseries Owned by Hedgehogs Early Years Ltd

my children felt safe, loved, and supported.

The two ladies who run the nursery with remarkable professionalism. Their unwavering support and dedication have made all the difference, especially when my eldest was having a hard time at drop off, and I'm especially grateful for how they always went above and beyond to accommodate my needs, whether it was an extra day here and there or just offering a listening ear.

But now, a special thank goes to four particular staff members for looking after my babies in such a lovely and nurturing environment.
You will forever hold a special place in our hearts. Keep doing the amazing work you do!

I know Hedgehogs has developed his physical skill set as well as building his confidence and communication skills.
The staff are amazing, they genuinely care about the well-being of your child and regularly update the app so you can see photos and videos of your child’s day. For parents like me that were anxious, it is a great way to put your mind at ease. I highly recommend this nursery.

to be independent.

love. The food is really healthy and nutritious. The opening times are perfect for working parents. No mad rush in the morning before work and no clock watching during meetings in fear you'll be late! So happy with the foundation this nursery is setting for our girls future.

a huge difference in my son. Upon collection, he comes out with a huge grin on his face and expresses to me that he has to have so much fun whilst being there. This makes me feel so happy knowing he’s enjoying himself. Each and every staff member I’ve dealt with have been lovely and attentive to my child’s needs. My reason for choosing Hedgehogs Preschool Hempstead after a bad experience elsewhere was upon my viewing every single child was happy. Not one child was upset and you could genuinely see just how happy the children were to be there. Therefore, without hesitation, I chose Hedgehogs Preschool Hempstead and that I am glad I did.

the staff are fantastic with her and at communicating with me. I can't recommend enough!

All the staff are extremely caring and will reassure you whenever you have a request about your little one. Highly recommend.

close proximity to a park is a real bonus as kids can spend quality time outside, exploring the nature. It was a great choice and if I have to do it again I will choose them without a doubt. Amazing place with amazing, loving and caring people, working very hard to make everyone welcome.

recommendation!

a quick chat when I pick him up. My son is still learning his words and needs a little bit more support and they have been very helpful in this area, which has put our minds at ease. The space at Hedgehogs Preschool & Forest School Hempstead is not overwhelming but they have made brilliant use of the area both inside and out. We are extremely happy with Hedgehogs Preschool & Forest School Hempstead so much so that we have just put our daughters name down for when she’s ready to start.

given him so much confidence and he has a group of little people he calls his friends. The staff are friendly and always there to listen and to answer any questions we may have. He really has come on leaps and bounds since joining and we couldn’t be more thankful to the staff.

her up and get to see the activities on Tapestry, the nursery online portal that has photos, updates and a care diary. My daughter's speech has been progressing rapidly since she started nursery and I could not be more pleased with her progress. She is happy, adjusted and has made friends there. I would highly recommend Hedgehogs Day Nursery Rochester.

photos of what they get up to each day is handy, so we can have "how was your day" conversations with our three-year-old. The staff are professional, caring and well qualified. They have been very supportive in continuing things like EC (early potty training) from home, catering to our daughter's food intolerance's and easing our super-clingy son into nursery life, he is now right at home. I would (and have) recommended Hedgehogs Day Nursery Rochester if you're looking for a caring, stimulating and fun place for your child to spend their time when they're away from you.

so much. She talks about the staff and the other children all the time!
I love the curiosity approach that the nursery uses and they spend lots of time singing, reading books, playing in the garden and often exploring the local area. They have a varied menu and are able to provide for my daughter's dietary requirements.
My daughter absolutely loves it there and I know the staff really care for her and they have helped her grow into a confident, resilient and sociable little girl.

She absolutely loves it and repeats everyone's names over and over and over again. All day long! The Hedgehogs Day Nursery Rochester setting is fantastic with the park just behind them and a kitchen big enough that the older children can get involved learning about food. The only negative is the wait at the front door that Covid has brought but they are making arrangements to address that issue. They stay open later than some of the others and there is barely any plastic in sight. The children are often playing and climbing outdoors and the daily updates with (blurry?) photos really sets your mind at ease. Even though the staff must work very long days they are always very cheery on pickup. We couldn't be happier.

take on changes to accommodate my daughter's needs and they would always look to seek improvements to the nursery although I feel not needed.
My daughter attends most of the week and I receive regular updates at the end of each day and through tapestry, she is also kept clean and dry (clothes are changed if needed and her face is always wiped of any food or runny nose). I would highly recommend this nursery.

outdoor play and learning which suits her more.
Before attending my daughter was not clear in her speech but the teachers have really helped her flourish in making her speech clearer and more fluent.
The teachers are very helpful and keep you updated and any issues we have had were dealt with appropriately and sufficiently, nothing but an overall great experience!
