We couldn't be happier with our choice of nursery and can't recommend the team and this setting highly enough.
As a first time mum, I was very anxious at the idea of leaving my baby to go back to work. All that anxiety has faded seeing how much she loves Lime Grove Day Nursery. My daughter loves the staff, the food and the garden, and comes home (although mucky) smiling from ear to ear. Nursery is expensive, and I almost did not return to work to try and save on the cost but I am glad we took the plunge because my daughter is thriving!
We've been super happy with Lime Grove nursery, our daughter has thrived there, really enjoying every day and developing well. The staff are very professional, welcoming and friendly. The rooms are really well curated for each age group and the main outdoor space is brilliant. I would suggest that the pre-school room could have a little more routine to start to prepare them for school. Although it is costly, it's great to have such flexible, long hours if needs be and not to have to worry about nappies, nutritious food and suncream etc. I would highly recommend Lime Grove!
Staff all very helpful and care a lot for the kids in their care. They have provided additional support to my son as he settles into nursery and keep us updated very regularly on her porgress.
Lime Grove has been amazing for my son's development, helping him to grow in confidence. He has had an amazing experience and bonded well with his keywords. Thank you for all your amazing help.
Both our children have attended Lime Grove. Our daughter went all the way through and is now about to start reception. We moved areas midway through her attending and welcomed our son. We loved Lime Grove so much that we waited for a place for him and go out of our way to get him here. No other nursery compares. Both of our children have flourished here and it is well worth the money.
There are no words to describe the amazing range of activities/ learning experiences and care at Lime Grove. The staff members are knowledgeable, caring and genuinely interested in the kids development.
We love Lime Grove! We are always so impressed with the care that they show. Out little one is thriving here and loves telling us about her day. We love seeing how the room is set up and how they take account of the interests of the children.
Her skills and learning has come on leaps and bounds.
Lovely, friendly staff and fabulous garden size too. Only improvement would be cleanliness and value for money as it costs us so much. But still very happy.
Out daughter absolutely thrives at nursery - all the practitioners take great care over the children and promote close relationships. The play is imaginative and educational and we feel she is excelling at learning while having fun. The staff have been very supportive through her developmental stages and we are very satisfied with her nursery experience.
Great nursery my kid loves it! He has grown so much and becomes smarter every day. The preschool at Lime Drive is a key part of that. We're very happy, just wish the price wasn't so high. His primary caregiver is amazing her delivery on the day sum up is really good.
Starting at 1.5 years old, our child has been well cared for by the attentive staff. The nursery has fostered their independence, language growth, good manners, and social skills.
Our child looks forward to nursery every day and loves sharing all they've done. We are very grateful to the team and highly recommend Lime Grove to parents seeking a warm, supportive, and enriching environment.
My daughter has attended Lime Grove Day nursery for the last 2 years and has had a wonderful experience in this time. It has always been a very happy, fun and nurturing environment. The key workers go above and beyond to support the children and their individual needs, pace of development and learning. I am grateful for everything she has been taught and the variety of activities she's been able to take part in and particularly all the lovely friends she's made along the way (little and grown up!). We really feel she is going to thrive now starting Primary school in September as a lot of attention has been put in preparing her for the transition.
My 3 year old son and I love this nursery. The staff are lovely and friendly and very understanding of your child's needs. My first born attended this nursery and I loved it so much so I had to send my second born here. He has really developed his personality at this nursery and has really come out of his shell. There is alot for him to do here and thefe is alot of outside space which is one of the main reasons I have sent my children here. Can't recommend this nursery enough.
The nursery has well-maintained facilities and ensures all children are safeguarded and well-cared for, which every parent values. They've created a positive and supportive environment.
I also love the regular updates through their online app. Seeing pictures of my child and learning about his activities helps me stay connected. The app also keeps parents informed about nursery news.
Above all, the staff at Lime Grove are exceptional. Their dedication and care truly make the nursery what it is and my son has flourished under their care. We love the nursery and are grateful for everything they do. Keep up the fantastic work.
As a parent, I feel completely confident and at ease leaving her at Lime Grove and am always informed and updated on all that I need to know.
I would 100% recommend Lime Grove to anyone looking for an early years childcare provider as my daughter has flourished here.
My little boy started at Lime Grove in September when he was 9 months old and we've been really pleased with the nursery so far. He settled in really quickly and loves being there, he gets excited in the morning when he realises where he is going!
I only have positive things to say about this nursery. My son has developed great social skills and learning development during his time here. Each staff member is driven to ensure the quality of the nursery is maintained to a high degree. I feel comfortable leaving my son with the team knowing I will receive a thorough handover upon collection. The Quality Manager, Deputy Manager and my son's Key Workers at Ladybird, Bumblebee and Preschool have shown exceptional support and strive to achieve the best outcome for him. If only Lime Grove was an actual primary school, I would happily leave him till secondary school.
We have been lucky enough to send both our son and daughter to Lime Grove since they turned 1 and we are absolutely delighted with the care and attention they receive. We have now had experience in each of the rooms and it is such a happy nursery with such thoughtful and engaged staff who always go the extra mile. There are always great activities planned and the staff are constantly thinking of new and interesting ways to organise the rooms and the outside facilities to keep the children engaged. They also plan lovely extra circular activities to get parents involved from stay and plays to the Summer Fete.
The care and development of my child is brilliant. I always feel 100% confident he will be well looked after. They do a variety of activities and my child always talks about what they have done that day. The outside play area is wonderful and my son loves it when he gets to play outside. I would highly recommend Lime Grove Nursery to anyone looking for a nursery in the area and I feel very lucky to have found such a wonderful and happy environment for my son.

Kelly is the Manager of Lime Grove Day Nursery in Hemel Hempstead and has a wealth of experience, having worked at Childbase for 22 years. Kelly has a Level 3 qualification in their Early Years.
I would say our garden is my favourite feature - people are often 'wowed' by it as they don’t expect it to be so big. Each room has its own free-flow garden which is amazing and another great space for the children.
I'm very proud of my team's approach and the amazing bonds that they form with their key children and families.
