My daughter has been at Boys & Girls Nursery Watford on a part-time basis since she was a baby.
The staff are lovely. Very caring and there are lots of cuddles available if she needs one.This was very important to us when choosing a Nursery/Pre-School. It's important that children should feel secure.
Now that she's in Pre-School it's giving her a great grounding, educationally and socially and really helping to get her ready to join a Reception Class.
And we can't praise the chef's cooking enough. My daughter has always been a picky eater, but she comes away on Pre-School days having eaten seconds. She's just asked me to ask for the recipes, which is a massive breakthrough!
Thank you for reviewing us. It's lovely to receive such great feedback and we wish your daughter all the very best when she starts Reception. We will pass your comments onto the team and of course our wonderful nursery chef!
Great with both my children, one of which has started school now but she still loves going in to say hi to everyone when we collect her sister!

Food is great, she happily tells me what she’s eaten at nursery, and has been requesting things at home now that she wouldn’t eat before, which I’m very pleased about.
Overall, it’s a lovely nursery, I couldn’t recommend it highly enough.

My little boy has thrived since being with Boys & Girls - has been with them for over a year and cannot rate them highly enough. Great Staff who work incredibly hard to give our little ones a great start. Thank you.

I could not fault Boys & Girls Nursery or recommend them enough! One of the hardest things I’ve done as a parent is to leave my babies and go back to work. I couldn’t thank the amazing, friendly, caring and loving staff enough at Boys & Girls who have helped me do this twice in the past 4 years!...
I could not fault Boys & Girls Nursery or recommend them enough! One of the hardest things I’ve done as a parent is to leave my babies and go back to work. I couldn’t thank the amazing, friendly, caring and loving staff enough at Boys & Girls who have helped me do this twice in the past 4 years! They support us as parents just as much as they do the children and some days I don’t know what I would do without them! My daughter started in the baby room when she was 8 months and is now in Pre School and absolutely loves the nursery and the staff (her friends) and is always asking when she is there next. My son started when he was 7 months and is now in toddlers and also loves his time there. I have no doubt that their development and social skills are as good as they are today because of the care and attention the staff dedicate to the children every day! Thank you for everything you have done and continue to do for my family which you are now a part of.
Thank you so much for leaving such a lovely review. It really is appreciated to receive such positive feedback and we will pass your lovely comments onto the team. We look forward to continuing to support your little ones and your family throughout your time with us at Boys & Girls Nursery.

The staff have assured me every day ever since. The Room Leader and Nursery Assistant have been absolute stars and the rest of the team.
She now runs in and waves good bye to me and we're not even at the end of week 2!
Fantastic team of ladies who mother my daughter very well. Thank you girls.
Thanks for leaving us such a great review, your daughter has settled in so well and really loves her time with us! We shall certainly pass your comments onto the team!
Since joining the nursery my son has developed in so many ways. He is so much more confident and balanced and looks forward to nursery every time. The nursery itself is fun and bright and the staff are so caring and friendly. Thank you.

My daughter started at Boys & Girls Nursery in 2018. She waves me off at the beginning of her day and goes straight off to play or for a cuddle. The staff are very friendly and are always coming up with fabulous activities (most recently princess and pirate day to support a local charity). My daughters learning journal is always packed with lovely photos and observations showing the staff really do care about her development. At the end of the day, a staff member will always take the time to let me know what my daughter has been up to that day. The food is nutritious and varied (my daughter always has seconds). The newly refurbished garden is very inviting and makes the most out of the space. 5*s all round.
Thank you for your review. It's great to hear your little one is enjoying the new garden space! We will pass your lovely comments onto the team.
My son has just moved up to pre-school and it couldn’t have been a smoother transition. The girls have been amazing in supporting him making sure he’s happy and settled so I can relax knowing he’s having a great time.

My son has attended Boys and Girls Nursery Watford since he was eight months old. He has always been very happy here and enjoys the food, newly renovated garden space and the extracurricular activities on offer. Great nursery.

Boys & Girls Nursery are fantastic. My daughter started last summer and enjoys her time there. The staff are fantastic and they are very caring. The food is lovely and nutritious and their new outdoor space is great.

The care for my daughter is second to none. The activities and playtime they experience are incredible and the menu and food served is out of this world- always homemade and freshly cooked.
I never ever worry about dropping my daughter there as I know she is in the best care.

She’s learned and developed so much that I have nothing but good things to say about everyone. We will miss everyone for sure!

My little boy has been with boys and girls Watford for 14 months now, starting in baby room and recently moving to toddlers. I can honestly say he has enjoyed every moment here. The team have been exceptional and I cannot thank them enough for helping him to settle and contributing to the happy outgoing boy he is today. They have gone above and beyond all expectations, I had of a nursery and I couldn't be happier with our experience here.
Thank you for your review. We are happy to hear your little one is enjoying his time with us.
My little boy attended Boys & Girls since he was 1. It was the personal friendly feel of the nursery I liked most, it was warm and welcoming. The staff and management are professional and caring giving my child the best care he could receive. He was happy going in every day and was there until he...
The nursery provides amazing food and the menu is really nutritious the chef would go above and beyond to cater for all the nursery and always welcomed my son and would say goodbye in the evenings.
The learning and development he received was first class, he left having a wide range of knowledgeable facts and there were always stimulating age-appropriate activities available for him with a very high standard learning journal to support what he had learnt.
The extracurricular activities they offered during his time there were fun and beneficial to his learning.
All round 5* and would highly recommend.

Both my son and daughter loved going to Boys & Girls in Watford. Their key workers were amazing and knew them as an individual rather than just another child in the class. I would get daily reports on what sort of day they had and what they had been up to. There were regular parents’ evenings to see how they were progressing, we were given the opportunity to see their learning journals, which was lovely. The setting is brilliant with large bright learning rooms full of high-quality resources as well as high-end technology. The food is cooked daily within the nursery under the guidance of a nutritionist, both children often had seconds! Would highly recommend this nursery.
Thank you for such a lovely review, we will pass this onto Bryony and the team.
