Review from Gillian T (Mother of Child) published on 9 February 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I am absolutely thrilled that my husband and I decided to send our daughter to Hitchin House. Her development has been incredible since she started at 12 months old. It feels like the leadership team have thought of everything when it comes to children's development and having fun. They mean it when they say 'call anytime'! The carers seem to really love children. They send good updates and give a thorough end of day summary. They also hosted a Parent's Evening that was reassuring and a great opportunity to make sure we are aligned.
There is a good and mixed variety of meals and snacks. I really like that everything is prepared from scratch onsite.
The nursery also go above and beyond with little extras. I was overwhelmed at Christmas when we got calendars, personalised tree decorations and my daughter also got a gorgeous gift.

Finally and most importantly, I believe the nursery have done everything to keep our children and their employees safe during such difficult times.

Reply from Linda Newton, Nursery Manager at Hitchin House Day Nursery

Thank you - it is lovely to read this. We firmly believe that loving the children is the first place to start and from there comes everything else.

Review from Lauren D (Mother of Child) published on 4 February 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our 3-year-old daughter has been going to Hitchin House Day Nursery since September 2020 and we are extremely happy with the care taken to help her settle and to grow in confidence over the past few months. We love the approach taken by Hitchin House; the resources available to the children are incredible and give them so many opportunities to explore (and learn) through play. The staff are so friendly but also knowledgable and professional. The effort put into a “home learning” programme when so many children had to self-isolate recently was incredible, highlighting the adaptability and commitment the team have to our children and their wellbeing. We look forward to our younger son joining his sister later this year.

Reply from Linda Newton, Nursery Manager at Hitchin House Day Nursery

Thank you- we can't wait to have him join up and share in all the great things we have planned!

Review from Mariam M (Mother of Child) published on 4 February 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

There are probably not enough words to express my gratitude to this nursery. In the midst of Covid sending the twins to nursery for the first time without settling in sessions that we could attend, was a terrifying prospect. Hitchin House Day Nursery did everything to make this process as easy as possible, to keep us informed and our minds at rest. Within a couple of months our twins run in without hesitation, happy and content which is a true testament to the holistic care provided. The regular updates of the girls' activities, the variety of activities and the exposure to different foods is exceptional. I couldn't recommend this nursery highly enough, staff have really made a commitment to provide gold standard care for the children who attend there.

Thank you- we are very conscious that the current times are very difficult for parents so we continue to review and consider what we can do to help- it is lovely to see that our systems are helping.

Review from Shanon H (Mother of Child) published on 4 February 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Wow...what a nursery! My daughter absolutely loves it here (after taking more than a year to settle into her previous one). The environment and facilities are second to none and the staff and management team are absolutely fantastic!
I cannot fault the nursery - we love it so much!
Actually, if there’s anything I could change it would be a bigger parking space but that is a luxury that has nothing to do with your child’s happiness.

If you’re looking for the perfect nursery for your child, look no further!

Reply from Linda Newton, Nursery Manager at Hitchin House Day Nursery

Thank you- We have taken note of the comment regarding parking and will discuss at our next strategy and development meeting!

Review from Angellina L (Mother of Child) published on 10 January 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son started here when it first opened, he has come on leaps and bounds since being here, the resources in this outstanding nursery are the best I’ve seen and I have seen hundreds of nurseries within my occupation. The staff communicate amazingly and the updates and pictures we get throughout the day on what my son's doing goes above and beyond and gives me peace of mind. The knowledge from the management team to all members of staff is outstanding and this shows with the care, love and support they show my son and us as parents. Highly recommend this nursery.

My daughter has attended Hitchin House since June 2020 and absolutely loves it. The staff are excellent and really seem to care about the children. The range of activities both indoors and outdoors is excellent and my daughter has progressed in leaps and bounds since starting there.

Review from Michaela H (Mother of Child) published on 13 October 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

It gives me so much happiness knowing my son is in this amazing setting. He is so looked after, the staff are welcoming, knowledgable, and maternal. It is evident they are so happy in their jobs, and that they have amazing relationships with parents and children. The learning environment is outstanding, they have workshops where children are given the opportunity to explore their skills and creativity, a climbing wall, lego wall, not to mention thousands of other stimulating activities and resources. I can't thank the team enough for looking after my boy so well every day!

Reply from Zoe Wright, HOO at Hitchin House Day Nursery

Thank you for taking the time to write this review. We have designed the nursery to provide a stimulating environment for children and staff and it is lovely to hear that it is delivering what we envisaged.

Review from Anna P (Mother of Child) published on 13 October 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I have been extremely happy with the service at Hitchin House Day nursery. Communication from management is excellent, especially through the ongoing changes with our current Covid-19 climate. Staff are friendly, cooperative and clearly have a passion for caring for our little ones. The environment and resources are fab and my son loves the messy play activities. All in all, it's been a very reassuring and stress-free experience returning to work and sending my son into their care.

Reply from Zoe Wright, HOO at Hitchin House Day Nursery

Thank you for taking the time to submit the review. Very pleased to see that everything is up to scratch and glad to see we were able to make the transition into nursery smooth for the whole family. Thank you.
