Overall Experience

Our child has been at the nursery since they were a baby, of which there have been staff changes over the years but every one that we have dealt with and have looked after them have been great and he has enjoyed it making friends along the way.

Many thanks

Review from N S (Mother of Child) published on 16 September 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My only child has just left nursery to move onto big school. She was here nearly 2 years. I can tell you I went to every nursery within Hoddesdon and Hertford and this was the only one that felt just right.
This nursery is safe , clean, caring and most of all loving. All the staff have become like family to all the kids and parents. They cry with you and pick you up on a down day and celebrate all with your child. You cant ask for more. Chef takes such care to feed each child making sure she gets to know what each little one likes and dislikes. Prepares meals for each one the way they like it , which is no easy job with that many children.

It felt like a home from home truly heartbroken my daughter has out grown the nursery: this place and the staff within will never know how great their in pact has been truly fantastic place.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been with Ashbourne for around 2 years and have nothing but positive words to say. Extremely attentive and engaging staff who build genuine connections with the children and parents. We looked into a few nurseries before attending Ashbourne and no others in the area came close.

My daughter has gone from a relatively quiet and shy 2 year old to a confident and bright pre schooler, and the Ashbourne team have played a crucial role in her development. We will genuinely miss them when she moves to primary school in September and thank them for all the attention and care they have given our daughter during her time with them.

My son and daughter go here, my son started in 2023 and my daughter started this year.
Its such a wonderful place filled with staff who actually love the job. They genuinely put in effort to make every day enjoyable and different for the kids. Theres always a theme or family day they've planned for parents to look forward to or be involved in.

Overall Experience
My daughter who is now starting year 1 went to Ashbourne and to this day asks to go back because she loved it so much.
My son who is in preschool now attends and cannot wait for the summer to be over to get back to nursery.

The staff are always so friendly and helpful and the kids love the chef's meals. I haven't got anything negative to say. I've been very happy with the care and support given to my children and myself for the last 3 years.

Overall Experience
I am so pleased that we chose Ashbourne Nursery for our daughter. She has absolutely flourished there and runs in every day to be greeted by the amazing staff. Her key workers have also been great, helping us as first time parents as to what we can work on, keeping us up to date and building a brilliant relationship with her. In addition to that, the whole team know every child by name, greet them with such warmth and enthusiasm and genuinely want the best for the children.

We have already upped our daughter's days and cannot wait for our son to start there soon.

My husband and I are so pleased with our daughter's development at Ashbourne Hoddesdon. It is such a lovely environment, the staff are so friendly and we can really see how much they care for all the children. My daughter is always so happy to go in when we drop her and we have noticed how much she has developed since being there. We feel totally at ease with her being at this nursery. We would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.

We’ve been with Ashbourne for about 6 months now and are so happy. Great facilities for my child’s development, lovely food for his nutrition, but most of all we really love the enthusiasm and care he gets from the staff. Completely puts our minds at ease with his care.

My daughter has just left preschool, she’s been here since she was one and what amazing nursery it is. Great staff, very helpful with everyday life tasks for the children. If I had a problem they would help me out and find a solution with a child’s learning would highly recommend.

We have had a brilliant experience at Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Hoddesdon. All the staff are excellent, friendly and great at communicating with us. Our child loved going there and loved all the teachers. It was such a warm environment. One of the best things was the daily updates we received via their app. We always knew what activities went on and were always sent pictures. I highly recommend Ashbourne.

I couldn’t be any happier with the care for my baby. He is well looked after by the staff. I was so impressed by how quickly they helped my baby to settle in this nursery. The staff are so lovely and always very helpful. Management is so amazing and always very keen to help and on point with everything!

Review from M D (Mother of Child) published on 9 March 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son used to go to another setting he was not happy and would be upset all day which broke my heart to see, it got too much so I pulled him out. I found Ashbourne Nursery and I'm so happy that I did. Since my son has started, we have seen a dramatic change in him, he is happy, content, eats his lunch and has actually asked to do more hours a day there. He loves all the curriculum that is set out, he loves the garden and enjoys playing games with his friends and his carers, I'm so happy I made the right choice to take him out of his last setting and place him here. He is so happy at nursery now and an even happier child at home. I actually can't believe the difference it has made and all the staff there make it a fun place to go to and care so much about the children, like their there own.

Review from M F (Mother of Child) published on 15 February 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter loves nursery. She has built strong relationships with all of her key workers, from the baby room when she first started and now in the toddler room. Her speech and development has come on leaps and bounds since she joined 18 months ago. She loves playing in the garden and loves all the activities from singing, dancing, painting, football and adventures to the local park. My daughter has a severe milk allergy and knowing that the staff are fully supportive and fully understand about keeping her safe is the most reassuring for me as a parent. They will always call to check if they're unsure and I couldn't ask for anything more. Recently the staff have been supportive with a difficult period of sleep regression and the advice and general support provided was so valuable. It's always tough choosing the right care for your babies, but this nursery offers such an intimate safe place where your child feels like they're at home, staff are amazing and the kids are so happy.
