About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- Working parents of children aged 9 months to 2 years can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery stretches funded hours across 50 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 50 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 22.8 hours are covered each week. Hours beyond this, including the early and late parts of the day, are charged at the standard rate.
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

Our boys are loving their time at River View. All the staff have been very welcoming from the beginning, making sure the boys feel settled every morning through to keeping us up to date with what they've been doing. They come home tired but excited about the day they've had and always seem to be doing a variety of activities to keep them entertained. The food menu is varied and healthy and the garden area gives a large additional space on dry days which both boys love spending time in.

We were originally attracted to River View Day Nursery by the quality of the facilities and the huge garden in which the children can play. Our daughter has been attending River View for about 18 months on a full-time basis and we were not surprised to find that the quality of care and interest in the children is of equal merit to the facilities. Staff have a genuine interest and understanding in each child's needs and development and are always happy to discuss any element of the child's care or routine.
We particularly remember the fantastic support we received in the first few weeks when our daughter started attending River View nursery. Staff in the Caterpillar room consulted with us regularly to ensure that our daughter's routine at the nursery would be as familiar to her as possible and we regularly discussed any desired changes to her weaning or sleep routines over the following months.
We would have no hesitation in recommending River View, our daughter loves it.
My daughter has been attending River View for 3-4 months now and I am so grateful for all that the staff do at Riverview. They have highlighted my daughter's interests and provide such a range of activities for her to engage in daily. They offer a safe and secure environment and the feedback and...
My daughter has come on leaps and bounds in terms of verbal and non-verbal development. My daughter is so confident and sociable since attending River View and she has made many close bonds with the staff and especially her key worker.
Knowing my daughter is in safe hands makes me feel a lot more confident during my day to day work routine. They are truly fantastic.
Our son has settled into nursery life with ease and this has only been made possible by the caring and outgoing nature of the nursery team.

Our son has settled into nursery life with ease and this has only been made possible by the caring and outgoing nature of the nursery team.
We can see our son is making great strides with his development and most importantly he is smiley and happy.
We would both recommend River View Day Nursery.
We would thoroughly recommend River View. The staff are extremely caring and professional and our son has made excellent progress throughout his time at the nursery. He really enjoys the excellent outside space - the garden is delightful and is very happy there, which makes us happy.

My son has been attending River View since aged one and has grown and flourished under the nurseries care. I would highly recommend River View as a safe and happy environment for children in the Hertford area.

River View provides a wonderful learning setting for my son. He only attends 2 sessions but loves attending them. He has become very confident and his learning development has progressed brilliantly. We are so happy we have placed our son at River View.

lovely staff and really nice, clean nursery. My daughter struggled to settle in due to leaving friends at another nursery (moving house) but now 5 months later she skips in to see her new friends and the staff who are really kind to her. It's great 'training' for school.

A lovely nursery for my son who has been attending River View since last August. Kind staff, receptive in every way even when faced with criticism. The girls in my sons room are so gentle and caring. My return to work has been so stress free because I trust the care showered on my son each day....
He's happy, which in turn makes me happy!

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.
