Lime Grove Day Nursery (Hemel Hempstead)

Our son joined Lime Grove in February 2017, and we are absolutely delighted with the nursery. It is a lovely building; very clean, with large rooms for the children to having plenty of space to play and learn.

Our son was initially placed into the baby room, and, at first, struggled being away from Mummy. During this time, the nursery staff were amazing; very patient and loving with him, offering lots of cuddles until he settled down, and was happy to go and play with his new friends. They were also extremely kind to me, reassuring me that he was settling in, but that it was absolutely fine to phone and check on him throughout the day.

Our son is now happy and tear-free at drop off; I have no doubt that this is because of the kindness and patience of the staff, as well as all the fun activities that he plays throughout the day. I am completely satisfied that he is cared for in a safe, secure, loving and fun environment by professional staff that are incredibly friendly and approachable.

I have never had to worry about my children at the nursery as I know they are safe, well cared for and happy. I have no hesitation in recommending this well run, friendly nursery. THANK YOU LIME GROVE!

Lime Grove is an excellent nursery! Staff are great, lovely and enthusiastic. My little one, who used to cry at the first days, is now happy to attend and always looks forward to going, and very attached to staff. She also loves the food there. Staff are really professional and teaching kids to be independent and doing a great job on this, with lots of activities which we can see also from the online website, with photos and comments from the staff. I highly recommend this nursery!

As my daughter is sadly coming to the end of her time at Lime Grove I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for the care that you have provided for her over the last 3 years.

Going to Lime Grove has, without a doubt, contributed to her being the happy and ever more confident little girl that she is growing into.

Friendly staff members. Excellent overall standard.

All 3 of my children have used Lime Grove over the last 6 years. The nursery is now better than ever. Strong leadership and a great team. My children are happy and love attending. The facilities are great and I would not hesitate in recommending Lime Grove.

We were welcomed around the nursery and we felt instantly that this would be our chosen nursery for our son. The staff genuinely care about the children and with healthy tasty meals, plentiful stimulated toys and activities daily, you couldn't ask for more from a nursery. You leave your child at a young age, for quite a large amount of time with people you don't know at the beginning. So it's important that you trust the staff and nursery, in general, to care for your child like you would at home and Lime Grove delivers this standard.

Lime Grove is a great nursery. Staff are fantastic and I always know that my child will learn and enjoy his day. He feels safe in the nursery and is very attached to staff. Staff encourage children to be more independent and prepare them well for school. There are well-structured activities planned for each day which varies each week. The food is made on site and my son loves the food here. The meals look delicious. My favourite bit is the fantastic array of activities planned for celebration festivals. We have regular photo shoots, a trip to panto, old people's Christmas party and many other events organised regularly. It's more expensive than other nurseries but entire cost is justified for what you get.

Both my girls have had great care whilst at Lime Grove. The facilities are fantastic and the staff friendly, helpful and caring. Lime Grove always put on lovely summer fetes and Christmas parties and put a lot of effort and their own time into these. The ladies from pre-school have been exceptionally good as well as another lady from Ladybirds and a gentleman in Bumble Bees. My only negative is the admin side at the reception. Arrangements I have made in the past have been forgotten and emails about finances have not been responded to.

The toys and learning aids are imaginative and used very creatively and are well maintained and updated regularly. My child really looks forward to attending each session and comes home visibly excited, educated and exhausted! (In a good way!).

A great nursery all around. Expensive but you get what you pay for.

My child attends pre-school in the nursery and has thrived in this setting as well as all the other ones she has experienced at this nursery. The recent focus on school and art has been great for school and played to her strengths, interests and focus areas. My child's key worker is great with her, giving time to be independent and happy whist always knowing she is there to guide and care. Thank you for everything and most of all looking after my precious daughter so well.

My son has been at the nursery for 2 1/2 years and has come on so much. It has been a complete delight sending him to this school.

All the staff are not only professional but welcoming and caring towards all the children. I am proud to say my son attends Lime Grove and has been given the support and encouragement to achieve throughout the years. Thank you to all involved.

So pleased with Lime Grove. We were new to the area and I don't think I could've found a better nursery. The staff are friendly and know all the children by name. They look after the children in a fun, safe environment and the key workers have a real focus on my child's personal development. My daughter loves it there, especially the big outside space, and always looks forward to going.

Our child learns new things every time she attends. Lime Grove provide new experiences such as tadpoles this month and learning the stages. My daughter has learnt how to share and consider others. Show and tell has allowed her confidence to improve. The overall facilities and learning experiences she has at Lime Grove have been amazing.

Daughter attended since one years old (now over three years). Always been an environment that she loved coming to. The staff have given amazing support to daughter and family as a whole. Whenever need extra support (sessions) they always were there to help. When needed on call support for arrival of baby brother the staff expressed that they would be available to support us. They always challenged and adapted to daughters individual needs and milestones. We will be sad to leave when heading off to school. Thank you!

The team at Lime Grove are wonderful. Nothing is ever too much trouble and they always welcome us with a smile,. We've been coming her since I went back to work and began our nursery journey in the baby room, we're now soon to leave pre-school and it feels like visiting family everyday.

My son and I couldn't be happier with the care and service that we receive from Lime Grove. The care that my son receives is wonderful and the support that he gets is second to none. I feel happy at work knowing that he is so well looked after.

I have 2 children attending the nursery. My eldest has been coming for almost 3 years. All of the nursery staff are exceptional. Since day one I have felt confident that my children are being well cared for, well fed, stimulated and kept safe. The golden values are a great idea and help to teach the children good manners and respect. I'm delighted with Lime Grove Day Nursery and would be happy to recommend it to any parent considering child care.
