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.

When I pick my grandson up from the nursery in the afternoons, he always looks so happy. He is always involved in some kind of activity or other and often has a piece of artwork to bring home. He has made lots of friends and has an obvious bond with the staff that work in his room. He enjoys his food and it makes me very happy that a family style approach is in place at lunchtime and tea time. As my daughter and her partner are working hard, it makes me very happy that my grandson is being looked after so well.
My daughter enjoys her nursery experience and I know she is very well looked after every day.

I love hearing about the diverse activities they are part of and the healthy foods to experiment and enjoy. The team have set a high standard of care that is a pleasure to be part of.
We were really thrilled with how easily our daughter settled in and felt comfortable. It was a huge load off our minds that she was in good hands.

Our son has been at Harpenden Day Nursery for 2 years. During that time he has developed in confidence. He has become more sociable, happily plays and shares his toys. His language and gross motor skills have increased enormously. His sister started in the baby room a few months ago and again she has settled really well. We have been impressed with the care and education provided by the nursery.
Every day is filled with lots of activities and he learns new things. He’s having great fun with his nursery friends there. Also the food is very...

We are so happy with the nursery, our child is extremely happy and the staff are excellent and engage really well with our child. Since starting at the nursery at 9 months, he has come on leaps and bounds with his speech and walking. The communication from the staff is excellent at pick-up and they are very welcoming each morning. The variety of meals is also excellent. We would recommend the nursery to anyone.
Our son loves coming to the nursery. He settled in really quickly and has always done something interesting every day. The staff are lovely - really friendly and professional.

My son really enjoys nursery. He is improving his social skills. He is very well looked after and we feel comfortable leaving him.
The only criticism would be the very high cost.

My child is always very happy at the nursery and is learning lots. I love that they are learning French and the sound of the week. It has been pretty hectic since the new people came from Bright Stars which makes it hard to get many updates and also there's a lot of new staff but I see the old staff trying to ensure we all meet, so I appreciate that.
The nursery offers a variety of different rooms by age and ability. Lots of mixing occurs which makes room transitions very easy. There is a wonderful outside space and it gets used in all weathers which the children love. There are also lots of large indoor activities and ongoing themes. The food...
The nursery offers a variety of different rooms by age and ability. Lots of mixing occurs which makes room transitions very easy. There is a wonderful outside space and it gets used in all weathers which the children love. There are also lots of large indoor activities and ongoing themes. The food is great and meal times are very calm with good learning about sharing and table manners. Fee structures are somewhat opaque but feedback seems welcome and communication with parents improving.
My son loves coming to nursery 3 days a week. He has always completed a range of activities, some of them so messy that we would never attempt at home, which is great. He gets a wide variety of food to eat which always seems healthy. All of his activities, foods and nappies are explained at the end...
My son loves coming to nursery 3 days a week. He has always completed a range of activities, some of them so messy that we would never attempt at home, which is great. He gets a wide variety of food to eat which always seems healthy. All of his activities, foods and nappies are explained at the end of the day and written on a sheet which is helpful. The staff are all really friendly. No complaints at all.
