  • Edge Grove Nursery, Watford
Edge Grove Nursery is part of Edge Grove, a leading co-educational prep school in the village of Aldenham, Hertfordshire. Parents can drop off their children from 8:00am, with breakfast available at no extra charge from 8:00 - 8:30am. All nursery pupils attend for five morning sessions per week, and most also stay for afternoon sessions until 3:30pm. A late stay option is also available, with care up until 6.00pm.

The nursery offers a warm, child-centred environment where children are supported to develop their skills, confidence and independence. The happiness, health, safety and emotional wellbeing of each child are at the heart of all the team do as they nurture character, individuality and social skills. The team, that includes two teachers as well as learning assistants, offer a variety of activities as well as allowing independent choice. There are additional lessons with specialist teachers from the Prep School that include Forest School, Performing Arts and PE.

Nursery children enjoy the best of both worlds - being in their own EYFS area in the Junior Department but also being part of the main Edge Grove School, situated within 60 acre main school site.

Review from J B (Father of Child) published on 23 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our child has grown hugely in confidence since starting nursery last September. We were initially nervous about starting, due to being a much younger one in the year, but his development has been noticeable since joining.


We were nervous when one of the key staff members went on maternity leave,

but we didn't need to be, the care, love and attention is second to none. After school / wrap care is a continuation of the great care we've seen.


Couldn't be happier with the nursery, and a great introduction to Edge Grove in general. Excited about starting in "big school" in September.

We have been really happy with Edge Grove Nursery. Our child has settled quickly, enjoys attending, and we have seen a positive development in their confidence, speech and learning. They love going to nursery and also enjoy going to the Junior school to do Forest School, reading with older children,
PE and school assembly. It provides a nice introduction for the children to progress into the older years.


All staff have been very friendly and attentive. We'd definitely recommend Edge Grove to any parents considering this school.

My child was very happy and well looked after at the Edge Grove Nursery. The staff are fantastic and so nurturing, and the facilities are brilliant. My child learnt a lot through classroom lessons, forest school and play setting her up very well for school.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter joined at the start of the summer term, and within days was flourishing. The staff are excellent and attentive to every child's needs and interests, the facilities are superb, and the relationship with the Junior Department at school made the transition this term seamless. Watching our
daughter grow and develop was a pleasure. Her confidence in numbers and writing grew instantly in a structured environment. And the personal development and interaction with staff and fellow children was lovely to see. Edge Grove is a wonderful Nursery, I just wish we'd moved our daughter there earlier!

Review from Raj J (Father of Child) published on 5 February 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From the moment our little one joined, it was evident this was a nurturing environment that truly cares for the well-being and development of each child.
The way our child seamlessly settled into the nursery was impressive. The caring and attentive teachers made the transition smooth. The strong bonds
our child has formed with both teachers and classmates are remarkable.
It’s been delightful to witness our child's growing independence. The encouraging environment at the nursery has empowered our child to explore and discover, fostering a sense of self-confidence.
Moreover, the personalised 1-to-1 sessions and other carefully planned group activities have sparked a genuine interest in laying a strong foundation for the future.
We have also been thrilled to see our child develop a love for outdoor play, and an appreciation for nature and the world around us.
Our daily child's enthusiasm for going to nursery is a testament to the positive experience provided by Edge Grove Nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Everything about the nursery is awesome. The staff are amazing, nurturing and really care for your child and their development. The facilities are designed for learning but also have big open spaces to allow the children to play outdoors. I would definitely recommend the nursery to anyone looking to
join the school. The only thing that would make this perfect was if there were some allowances for government funding to subsidise the cost at this stage.

Edge Grove Nursery is a perfect balance of learning and nurturing. They have created a warm and positive atmosphere to help children truly thrive. Teaching staff are always happy to talk through progress or answer any questions. Both my children have had a very positive experience at Edge Grove Nursery.
I would highly recommend.

Very happy with my experience and hope to send my second child here as well. Everything a mother could want for her child in a nursery setting, warm, nurturing, caring, wide variety of facilities, very clean. Excellent communication and a group of the best teachers I have met.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son joined Edge Grove Nursery in September 2022 and is now in reception. The nursery is wonderfully run and the teachers are very nurturing, caring and kind. They treated our son with the utmost love, care and respect and we will be eternally indebted to them. The facilities are great especially
the outdoor area where our son spent most of his time. I could not recommend Edge Grove Nursery enough. If you are looking for a nursery that is great at communicating with children and parents, a nursery that is focussed on child development and is a place where your child can play and express themselves openly then this is the right place for your little one.

My child is so happy and I love to see her smile every morning when she goes to nursery. Learning skills I can see my child has changed a lot.
The teachers are all very kind, especially in the morning when I come to collect my child.

A fantastic team who have made our young son feel very welcome and has not once since September refused to go to nursery. It’s a joy to watch him run in and come out with a big smile on his face. Big thanks to two members in particular and the team for all your efforts.

We can't speak highly enough of Edge Grove Nursery after sending our 2 daughters in subsequent years there. We couldn't be more thankful for the continued development and nourishment they've given to our daughters. Our daughter is genuinely excited to attend and they have the most excellent time each
and every day. It's important to have a nursery you can trust and Edge Grove provides that. I'll never know how they get the children to line up in a single file, I can't even do it with my own children. Huge shoutout to 7 members of staff in particular.

The nursery is well run and the lovely staff are really accommodating of children's and parents' needs. There are lots of fun, educational activities and the facilities are impressive.
Our daughter loves going on the minibus to forest school and PE at the main school site and comes home full of stories
of her day.
The children play outside every day and have healthy snacks.
We couldn't be happier with the nursery.

Our second child is currently in the nursery at Edge Grove, and we're equally impressed as we were 2 years ago when our eldest attended (now in year 1 at Edge Grove).
Friendly and caring staff, great facilities, and a strong focus on developing the children as much as possible while very young.

Our son joined Edge Grove Nursery in September 2023 and has had an excellent experience to date. His teachers have been attentive, caring and very supportive as we previously had a negative experience with another nursery.
The feedback and communication have been excellent and our boy loves going
in every day. I would have no hesitation in recommending Edge Grove to any prospective parents.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.952)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.952) out of 10 for Edge Grove Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.952 for Edge Grove Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (160 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 168 Ratings = 4.952
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Edge Grove Nursery is based on 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 40 number of registered child places is 8, which has been reached with 14 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
