Review from Laura H (Mother of Child) published on 7 September 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
It could not be possible to put into words the love we have for the River View team at Hertford. My daughter has attended River View for the last 2-3 years, and has grown up in both Bumblebees and now preschool. My daughter has gone from strength to strength since attending, her confidence, speaking, writing, socialising and general personality has really shone through since being there.
The staff ability to get the most out of the children is exceptional, the care and attention they provide could not be better. My daughter has a true love for all staff members who work there, including the amazing teachers in the rooms and the fabulous office staff.

To all the staff at River View, I can not thank you enough, my daughter is due to leave next week and I couldn't be more devastated. We will miss you terribly, and if we do have another child we will be back to visit you without a shadow of a doubt. Thank you.

Overall Experience
My toddler is so happy here, he runs in each morning and doesn't look back! He especially loves the brilliant garden.

The staff are excellent, they really nurture the children and always welcome us enthusiastically every morning and evening. They have implemented all the new coronavirus procedures very efficiently, and the children barely notice.

Overall Experience

My son started River View in Nov 2018 and really flourished. He loved all his key workers and the activities that River View provided for him. He is starting a preschool in Sept which is next door to our house so a lot easier for me to do drop off and pick up.

Review from Samantha B (Mother of Child) published on 21 April 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son absolutely loves River View, the staff and his little friends that he has made. The activities are great, and my son’s vocabulary is outstanding from the work that the staff help with in terms of activity-based learning. I had a lot of support from the staff in terms of toilet training, and we kept to the same methods which gave my son consistency in both settings. Thank you for all the support and making my son so happy in your care. Lastly, as a key-worker, the support you have given during these times has just been amazing. Thank you!

Review from Ruth N (Mother of Child) published on 2 March 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My children have both been at the nursery since they were three months old. As a first time mother, you worry whether putting them into a nursery is the right thing. After seeing my two children through Riverview, I can honestly say, it was the making of them. Riverview has been the most incredible home for them both. Their happiness and security is greatly down to everything they invested into them whilst they were there.
They are both confident, happy, independent children and the values and love the staff at the nursery all invested into them is what makes them the children they are today. We will be forever grateful for this foundation.

I never dreamed I would find a place where I never had to worry about leaving them from three months - they never had a day of not wanting to go, and both came each home each day full of happiness. As a family, we will miss the nursery, and remain forever grateful for everything they have done for both my children. I can not rate the nursery or the staff any higher.

Review from Emily M (Mother of Child) published on 16 December 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I would strongly recommend this nursery. My husband and I spent a long time researching numerous nurseries around the Ware and Hertford area and it was our first choice by a long way. Since starting, the staff have been incredible in settling in our daughter. I found the transition of returning back to work after maternity leave and my daughter starting nursery a very challenging time. The staff have been so wonderful in supporting both my daughter and I during this period and settling her in. After just a few weeks, she is really enjoying her time there. She has made lots of friends and built a strong rapport with the staff. She participates in a variety of activities in both an indoor and outdoor setting throughout the day. We get lots of photo updates on the Nursery app, so we get to see what she has been up to throughout the day. Overall, we could not be happier with our choice and are really grateful for all the hard work and support the staff provide, so thank you!

Review from Rebekah R (Mother of Child) published on 4 December 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My husband and I are so pleased with the nursery and how our little boy is thriving here. Having been in a different nursery for six months previous to starting River View, I was apprehensive about changing his setting, however this is one of the best decisions we have made.
Our son settled really quickly and we credit the amazing staff at River View for this smooth and positive transition. The venue is lovely, very bright and spacious and the garden is absolutely fantastic. The children have lots of activities to engage with throughout the day and the nursery provides a weekly newsletter so parents can see what the children will be focusing on in the coming week.

We are so happy with River View, and more importantly so is our son.

My children have been coming to River View nursery for a year now. I couldn't recommend it enough. The children have developed so much in this time and I praise the nursery staff for their hard work. I couldn't have done it without them.

Review from Catherine D (Mother of Child) published on 29 March 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
We are absolutely thrilled with the care that our daughter is receiving at River View. She is currently in the Ladybirds room and her carer is superb. Our daughter has built up a fabulous relationship with her carer and has progressed in all areas; particularly her speech, understanding and ability to play with others.
The communication we receive on her progress and day to day activities is excellent.

I can't recommend this member of staff and the nursery enough!

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery. They are fab. My eldest left last summer to start reception and was there from 1 year old. They helped prepare her for school and she was able to do more than was expected of her. My youngest is still there and loves it. She has come on so much in the last few months and loves her key person.

Review from Elizabeth K (Mother of Child) published on 17 September 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has attended River View nursery for the past two years, she is now almost three years old. My son attended before her. I continue to be impressed everyday by the care, diligence and enthusiasm of the staff. They make the nursery a truly fun and exciting place whilst I feel 100% reassured she is in excellent care. The children get to enjoy fun, often 'messy play' that we don't always get to do at home. They have an abundance of toys to play with. Just don't expect to take a clean child home, my little girl loves the 'mud' kitchen! Every day my little girl is happy to go to the nursery and she tells me at the end of the day which friends she has been playing with, including children and staff. The staff are so kind and friendly that they still make a fuss of my older child who previously attended the nursery. The standard of food prepared and the menu is outstanding!! As well as nutritious and varied. Both my children have always eaten very well at nursery.

I would highly recommend River View nursery to anyone!

What is your favourite feature of River View?

My favourite feature of our nursery is our garden. We have a lovely open space split into three sections for each age group and set out with those ages in mind. We have been growing our own fruits and vegetables in our allotment and it also invites bees and butterflies to our garden.

What are you most proud of about your team/nursery?

I am most proud of how welcoming our setting and team are. Every time we have visitors they always comment on how all of the team will say hello and welcome them into the nursery with a smile. This also means we have a lot of long-standing staff in our setting.
