Canopy Frogmore House is a beautiful day nursery in Watford, set within a carefully restored historic building that combines heritage with modern learning spaces. Open 51 weeks a year from 7:30am to 6:30pm, the nursery provides flexible full and half day care for children aged 6 weeks to 5 years.
The nursery is divided into three age-appropriate rooms: The Burrow for babies, The Meadow for toddlers, and The Sky for preschoolers. Each has been thoughtfully designed with sensory and messy play areas, cosy corners for reading, and calm spaces for rest. Outside, large secure gardens give children the freedom to explore nature, develop physical skills, and enjoy fresh air every day.
Children enjoy freshly prepared, organic meals and snacks made on-site by the nursery chef. Fees are fully inclusive of meals and drinks, with government-funded hours and tax-free childcare supported to help families.
At the heart of the nursery is The Canopy Code, a curriculum delivered through the Early Years Foundation Stage. It nurtures children as curious explorers, confident communicators, independent learners, and inquisitive thinkers. Each child has a key person who builds strong partnerships with parents to ensure progress is celebrated and families feel supported.
With its inspiring environment, inclusive ethos, and dedicated team, Canopy Frogmore House offers families in Watford a safe, nurturing, and imaginative setting where every child can flourish.

About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
Working parents of children aged 9 months to 2 years can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery stretches funded hours across 51 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 51 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 22.4 hours are covered each week. Hours beyond this, including the early and late parts of the day, are charged at the standard rate.
We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

We are very happy with Frogmore House Canopy Nursery and would highly recommend it to other parents.
Our daughter loves going to nursery and is always happy and excited when we pick her up, which gives us great peace of mind. We really appreciate the detailed updates and records on the app, which help us stay informed about her daily activities and development while we are at work.
Her key person has been professional, caring and supportive, always providing helpful advice when needed.
A special thank you to Dev, the nursery director, for always being so helpful and understanding. She has gone out of her way to support us with ad hoc childcare needs, including drop-in sessions and trying to accommodate changes to our usual days.
We also love the strong communication with parents, detailed progress reports and fun activities such as the summer sports day.
Thank you to the whole team for creating such a happy, caring and supportive environment for our daughter!

My daughters been in frogmore since December, when she was only 9 months old, she is my first and this is the first nursery tryout- to say Dev and her team have raised the bar is an understatement, the teams care, their attitude with the children and parents alike, is exceptional to say the least. I know my daughter loved every minute of her stay there, I would recommend this nursery to all parents. The rooms are thoughtfully laid out, it's airy, it's fun for the kids and always clean. This is something that shouldn't be taken lightly as the kids have space to move, to learn and to have fun. The team itself is so loving towards the children, my daughter adores Ana specially. Special thanks for the team who has made this experience much easier, it is hard for a mother to put her children at others care, they made this easier.

We were so lucky to find Canopy in our neighbourhood after almost a year of searching without much success. We found all we were looking for at Canopy: a warm and welcoming place, spacious rooms with deliberate design for babies to explore, learn, play, and interact. The large garden is especially a gift, our baby loves spending time there. I'm also very happy with the no-sugar policy and the in-house freshly cooked menu. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. Dev is always very responsive, considerate, and welcoming. She puts families' preferences at the heart of all her decisions. I love how she brings a thoughtful parent's mindset to the design and approach of the nursery.
Our special thanks go to Ana - she made Miguel feel at home whenever he was with her. To Annie, Danielle, and Radija: your lovely smiles whenever you greet us at the door stay with us. Thank you so much to every else as well for all the care and love you give to our little one <3

We've had a fantastic experience with Frogmore House and would highly recommend it to any parents looking for a warm, nurturing nursery. From day one, it has felt like a real home-from-home environment. The staff are incredibly caring, attentive and supportive, and they take the time to really get to know each child as an individual. One of the standout features for us is their focus on healthy, nutritious meals. It's clear that nutrition is a priority, and we love that our child is being encouraged to develop positive eating habits from such a young age. What really sets Frogmore House apart is how flexible and understanding they are. They work closely with families and aren't rigid, which makes such a difference when navigating childcare alongside busy schedules.
If you're looking for a nursery that is caring, professional, flexible and truly child-focused, Frogmore House is a wonderful choice.

We love everything about Frogmore House Nursery in Watford. When we first moved to the area, we spent a whole year searching for the right nursery. Most places were either full or lacked a clear educational approach. Then we found Frogmore House and were instantly impressed by the professionalism, care, and warmth of the staff. Their philosophy of connecting children with nature and providing wholesome, nutritious food truly supports the children's bodies, minds, and wellbeing. The team went above and beyond to help our daughter settle in quickly, accommodate her food intolerances, and support her milestones. She now wakes up excited every nursery day, knowing she'll have a fun, engaging time with her friends. We couldn't be happier! I highly recommend it to all parents.

The staff at Canopy Frogmore are warm, attentive, and incredibly dedicated to the well-being of each child. It is clear that they genuinely love what they do, and it reflects in the happy and thriving environment they create. My daughter has formed strong bonds with her teachers, and I have complete confidence in their ability to support her development. One of the standout features for me as a parent is the amazing app that the nursery uses. It keeps me updated throughout the day with photos and notes about my daughter's activities and progress. It's such a joy to know what she's learning. This app has truly bridged the gap between home and nursery, allowing me to feel connected and involved even when I'm not physically there.
Overall, I couldn't be happier with our choice of nursery. Canopy Frogmore provides a nurturing, engaging, and safe environment where my daughter is flourishing.

Grateful for the amazing care and love at Canopy Daycare! I'm beyond happy with our experience at Canopy Frogmore House! My 2 years old son settled in so quickly, and I can see such wonderful improvements - he's playing more, sleeping on his own, talking with his friends, enjoying messy play, and eating so much better now. I also love getting the daily updates and photos of his activities - it makes my day to see him smiling, learning, and having fun. Thank you to the entire Canopy team for your love, patience, and care. You've made my little one so happy and excited to go to daycare every single day! Warm regards,
Rajeswari(Lokesh Mom).

Dev’s journey with Frogmore House began as both a professional and a parent. With a background in management consultancy, she became a proud mum to her son in 2024 and began searching for a nursery that would truly inspire his love for learning. When she couldn’t find one that reflected her vision, she decided to create it herself, and so Canopy Frogmore House was born. Dev is passionate about creating a premium experience for families and building a nurturing, community-based nursery where every child can thrive.
