Bright Horizons Harpenden Central Day Nursery and Preschool is based in a beautiful listed building located in the heart of Harpenden.
The nursery offers high-quality care and education for babies aged 3 months to children up to 5 years old.
With a highly qualified, long-standing team who provide a home from home nursery environment, long opening hours, 7am - 7pm, and being just a two-minute walk from the train station and only a 20-minute train ride into London Kings Cross, the setting is great for commuting parents.
The expansive adventure garden provides children with a safe and enjoyable outdoor space for exploration. It features a climbing frame, a water feature, a mud kitchen area, and a separate, cosy and secure baby garden. Children spend time outdoors every day.
Additionally, the nursery and pre-school rooms have the advantage of direct garden access, allowing for free-flow access for the children. And while your child is busy exploring and having fun, the team can keep you updated via the Family app. Available for all Bright Horizons parents, this will keep you connected with your child's day-to-day experiences as they develop during their time at the setting.
There is an on-site chef who bakes and cooks with the children on a weekly basis to instil an understanding of nutrition and prepares delicious, healthy and nutritious food. The menus change seasonally and cater for all dietary and religious needs. The kitchen holds a 5* EHO rating for food safety and hygiene.

We've had a wonderful experience with Harpenden Central. The staff have been utterly fantastic, the care they give to my daughter is exemplary and the growth we've seen in her has been huge. We felt very confortable knowing that our daughter was in a safe, loving environment every day. It was always easy to speak to staff when we needed to, and they were always welcoming and supportive with whatever I needed. I'd have no hesitation with recomminding this nursery to anyone!

My son has been at the nursery for almost 3 years and our experience there has been fantastic. All the staff goes beyond and above ok their duties and our son couldn't have been happier at the nursery.

The staff are incredibly supportive and helpful throughout every stage of a child's development. They assist with everything from helping children settle into the nursery environment to potty training and learning how to dress themselves independently. My son always felt comfortable and free to be himself there. His key person was brilliant as well! They managed to have a very good connection. Highly recommend this place.
Thank you for your kind words. We're delighted your son felt comfortable, supported, and confident and that his key person connection was so positive. Thank you for your recommendation.

Our daughter started at this nursery aged 10 months old and settled in very quickly, much quicker than we expected given how clingy she had been, despite not being full-time, she bonded really well with the lovely staff and is very happy there. We get regular updates on activities they are doing. They clearly have well-implemented policies and processes to deal with her food allergy as well. Would definitely recommend it!

We’ve been really pleased with this nursery. The staff are kind, caring and patient, and our daughter is very happy here with lots of little friends. She comes home happily, talking about the different activities she’s been up to throughout the day. We are also pleased with the level of communication we get from the nursery in, terms of what our daughter has eaten, how much she has slept, nappies, etc throughout the day.

Our son is in full-time and just under 2 years old. He is happy there and thriving. He has made friends and is learning quickly, especially speech, thanks to the lovely team. We sent our daughter there before and would recommend it.

We have been really impressed with the nursery. Our daughter has just moved from the baby to the toddler room and she loves her nursery days. She has developed so much - taking her first steps and saying her first words. The staff are caring and love the children. We find the app to be super helpful in letting us know what she's been up to, what she has eaten and seeing the very cute photos.
All the staff are incredibly friendly and great with the children. Our daughter loves going to 'school' and interacting with her friends, and always has a story of the fun things they did that day. I would definitely recommend the nursery to other parents.

Having only just joined the nursery, we already feel like 'one' of the family. We've settled in really quickly, and look forward to our days playing and learning. Big thank you to all the staff, especially two members, for making our transition to Harpenden so easy.
