Lovely nursery. My 3-year old goes here. Very friendly and caring staff who my son quickly bonded with. Good variety of activities. Main thing is that my son is happy going in each morning! There was a lovely moment when on his first day back after being off for a few weeks he was reluctant to say bye to me, but one of the staff came over and with a lovely combination of care and enthusiasm made him feel better and he was soon happy to go in.

My son attended Harpenden Day Nursery, he was very happy from day one. The staff are incredibly friendly, caring and lovely, my son loved playing outside and they have got a lovely garden at the back of the nursery, he absolutely loved it, he went in the garden every day and I think it is so important that children get to go out there and play in the nature. Very home and happy environment.

My almost four-year-old son has been attending the nursery for the last three years. This is a brilliant nursery and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to others. The staff are caring, friendly and attentive. The daily activities are varied and interesting with a good mix of indoor and outdoor play. The indoor rooms are well laid out with different play areas, and the walls are decorated with fun, colourful and educational artwork. My son loves attending and he will be sad to leave in September when he starts school.

Our now two and a half year old son has been at Harpenden Day Nursery since he was one and has near never resisted going to nursery. Which I think is just such a sign of how much he loves it there. He has always had key workers he has loved and who hes built adorable relationships with. His speech and confidence seems to improve more and more over time, even more so since going down into the preschool room and being with older kids. They spend lots of time in the garden which we love too.
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Our warm, knowledgeable and passionate team are brilliant at building strong relationships with the children in their care. It's such an essential part of nursery life and means they feel happy and confident enough to begin developing important skills for the future.
Harpenden Day Nursery has provided a calm, welcoming and stimulating environment for our daughter who is just turning 2. We're grateful to the team for their care and support, particularly her key worker.

The nursery is like an extension of our home for our daughter. She loves being in the outdoors and the garden provides her with all the space to explore. All the girls are amazing with her and definitely gives me peace of mind knowing she is cared for by such a lovely team.
