Partou Shepherds Lane Day Nursery & Pre-School

Daybreak has been truly amazing for us. Our eldest has been with them since ten months of age, and our youngest started with them at the age of seven months. The nursery has been an integral part of our children's development, and we are grateful for the support they have given us as a family.

Great parent/carer communication, I would thoroughly recommend!

Always such lovely girls and very welcomed. My son loves here always and has been coming here for the last three years. Felt very comfortable and safe to leave my son here.

We love Daybreak! My youngest daughter is currently there, and I cannot recommend it highly enough! She loves going and that is all down to the staff that work there. Everyone, from the managers to the nursery practitioners are amazing!

Our children have attended Daybreak since 2019 - the staff have been great, attentive, caring and focused on developing the children while they have fun. The facilities are great - especially the outside garden, allowing a huge variety of games and activities. During Covid, the team have been very supportive, balancing the risks with allowing the facility to stay open for the children! Highly recommend.

The staff know both our four-year-old and one-year-old so well, and gives me so much comfort when leaving them. The confidence that is developing is fantastic, and my four-year-old, in particular, has made some great friends. Thank you to all the staff at Daybreak.

A very welcoming nursery with friendly staff and children. My granddaughter is always telling me how much she enjoys preschool and the games she plays. She will miss her preschool when she leaves to go to big school. I have spoken to other parents when I have collected her recently and they have all said they will miss this nursery very much.

Daybreak Nursery Rickmansworth Shepherds Lane is a very lovely nursery. The carers have been excellent with my son who has had a few extra physical needs and they have actively participated in his development - they genuinely care about his progress. He eats and sleeps well at nursery and is happy to be handed over in the morning. The nursery has a wonderful garden! I highly recommend.

I couldn't recommend Daybreak Shepherds Lane more highly. Thank you!

It's local and extremely convenient. The staff, especially our daughter's key worker, are excellent. She has provided our daughter with love, compassion and respect. We have been impressed with the relationship that has been built up with our daughter, knowing how she ticks and how to develop her further. We are very lucky to have had some wonderful staff members during this time who have shown the same level of care. Daybreak is a great place and it is the staff that makes it what it is and sets it apart from all the others.

Our little one has been attending Daybreak Nursery for the last eight months and loves it. We literally have to drag her away every evening. The educators are really engaged with the children, the security measures are reassuringly strict and the outdoor space is phenomenal. We've moved house recently and will still do the hour round trip (walking) to keep her at such a brilliant nursery.

Our first child came to Daybreak Nursery for four years. We have now chosen Daybreak for our second child as we were so happy with the care given. The staff seem to genuinely enjoy spending time with the children and really get to know their individual personalities. There's an emphasis on fun and on child-led learning, which suits our family philosophy. Our children have both loved free play in the outside play area, which is a very valuable asset to this nursery. The food offered is diverse and has been popular even with my fussy eater! They have been brilliant at observing my child's allergies.

My child has come on leaps and bounds since starting with the nursery earlier this year. The dedication the staff have to the children is incredible and are always on hand to answer any questions you have. They send updates during the nursery day along with pictures. A fantastic setting that we both love! We looked at many other settings prior to Daybreak Nursery and this is by far the best setting.

We would highly recommend and we have even extended our daughters attendance - moving from 2 to 3 days a week as she loves it so much.

Lots of outside time and different activities inside and lots of fun play and activities.

Our daughter has been in Daybreak for just over a year. She loves it and dashes in each morning with barely a backward glance. The staff are so caring and warm, who really care about the children. They seem to know the names of all the children, even if they are in different rooms. The outdoor spaces are fantastic and are currently having a wonderful makeover. The managers are all terrific and set the tone for the nursery. Even during the pandemic, their communication was great and the protocols they put in place to reopen were very thorough and reassuring. Thank you to you all, you're a fantastic team.

My little one is happy to be here.

Highly recommend: my son started here just before he turned one and had been at the nursery for just under a year before the lockdown happened. The staff have always been professional, friendly and caring and their communication perfect. My son struggled to separate from me to start with but the team were so caring and kind that I felt absolutely fine leaving him with them. They were so patient with him as he took a while to settle but their efforts paid off and he soon loved being there. They really got to know him so well and always catered to his interests and needs. He has missed nursery so much while being off over the Covid period. Communication from the nursery has been great throughout this time too and if I was not currently able to keep my son at home, I would be fully confident to put him back at nursery with the current risk assessments etc they have in place. This is a lovely, nurturing nursery with a brilliant outdoor area (and they spend loads of time outside too)

My son came into their preschool group after we moved into the area from another nursery. He adjusted very easily and always enjoys going. The staff who take care of the children always seem to be in a good mood and attentive to the children. My son enjoys all the activities they put on during the day and the staff make an effort to do different things each day. The facilities are very good- large space for the children both indoors and outdoors, especially outdoors with a good size play area and toys for the kids to play with. The food menu which is served also seems to be of good variety and healthy.

We have always been so happy with Daybreak and all its staff. They know and really care about the children. Our son is so happy there and we have great confidence in his care and wellbeing. They are flexible and supportive. We fully trust them with the development of our son. Highly recommend Daybreak to anyone.
