Hertford Barns

Thank you to the wonderful team who have looked after our daughter so brilliantly

Excellent nursery that offers a very caring, educational and stimulating setting for children to develop. As a mother of 2 children, one who has graduated from this nursery and one who is currently attending, I couldn’t be happier with the care that has been and continues to be provided to my children.

From the start, I’ve been very impressed with Hertford Barns. Not only does the nursery look beautiful, the staff are always smiling and the facilities are brilliant. The children have plenty of outdoor fun which I really love and my daughter always enjoys her delicious meals. Her confidence has grown so much since she started at Hertford Barns and we’re thrilled with the progress she’s made.

I think it is lovely that all members of staff know my daughter by name, not just the ones in her room. She has settled really well and will happily go in to one of her key workers now. She seems to enjoy the time she is there. The food is nutritious and varied and even though they are little, children are encouraged to sit at a table and eat with cutlery. They spend a lot of time outdoors which is so important in Early Years. I am always told about important aspects of her day at pick up. The staff are friendly, approachable and great with the children. I am happy with Hertford Barns for my daughter.

My child's development has come on leaps and bounds since joining, and he eats really well which is just a pleasure to hear.

The staff have a good rapport with the children and they encourage each child to their own development.

My son has settled in so well to Hertford Barns. He has flourished so quickly from potty training to speech. It's clear to see how much the staff care about all of the children! The attention to the little details is spot on. Thank you to you all.

We have been lied to on four separate occasions by a member of staff with regards to my son's safety, well-being, and his routine. This member of staff was also in management with the previous poor Ofsted reports. We bought these instances to management who (in my opinion) do not care about anything other than Childbase making money and sweeping things under the carpet. The most recent meeting we have had with management when we were lied to again was actually laughable, the audacity of the blame then being laid at mine and my wife's door was very surprising and distressing. I suffer with a mental disability and this was used as one of the main reasons why we were to blame for the staff lying to us. I was accused of being "Intimidating" and "Aggressive”. Our son has now been removed and I would not recommend this nursery at any level.

Very happy so far. After seeing Hertford Barns premises, I couldn't choose any other place for my child. Not only has bright and beautiful big spaces to play, the staff are always very supportive and kind. The management team is always very professional. My girl even asks to go to nursery on weekends, that shows us how much she loves being there and how well she is treated. If I have another baby, definitely will be going to Hertford Barns nursery. Thanks.

Our little boy has come along leaps and bounds whilst being with Herford Barns. All the staff are amazing; they all know his name and welcome him with a smile. It's a safe, welcoming, warm environment, and I can't praise the staff enough.

It has been a while since my boy joined this nursery. There was a change of management, but I didn't even notice. It was that smoother process. All the staff and carers are so friendly and very helpful. The nursery facility is the best around here. My boy enjoys every day, so I'm very satisfied.

My son has been in the nursery for some time, and we are very happy with not only the care he receives but also the variety of activities he is exposed to during the day. His development, social engagement and interaction have improved dramatically since joining this setting.

Can't thank the nursery enough in these difficult times keep up the good work.
