Lime Grove Day Nursery celebrate 35 years of Childbase

Festivities were well underway at Lime Grove Day Nursery in Hemel Hempstead as children and colleagues marked 35 years of Childbase Partnership with a week of celebrations.

At the Ofsted-rated ‘Outstanding’ Day Nursery on Park Road, staff teams decorated the setting with balloons and bunting for the occasion, whilst children showcased their creativity by making ‘35’ themed arts and crafts, before enjoying a fun-filled afternoon, complete with music, dancing and party games, as well as a special lunch and teddy bear’s picnic.

Meanwhile, colleagues were presented with individual gift bags as a thank you for their hard work and continued dedication to the children in their care, with treats of appreciation from their grateful managers, as well as bespoke made ‘35th birthday’ biscuits.

As part of the celebrations, colleagues also took part in a company-wide prize giveaway, with Lime Grove staff winning treats in the competition including Perkbox points to exchange for vouchers and other benefits, as well as ‘Thrive in 2025’ wellbeing event tickets.

Over the years, Lime Grove have received numerous ‘Outstanding’ judgements from Ofsted, as well as helping to raise tens of thousands of pounds for worthy causes including CRUK, Mind and Bliss, contributing to the 3.5 million plus figure raised by Childbase Partnership for charity, as well as being the proud holders of a host of accolades, including the prestigious Green Flag with Distinction from Eco-Schools for their environmental efforts.

Lime Grove Quality Manager, Robyn Shuck explained;

“We are incredibly proud of the impact that Childbase Partnership has had on the lives of children and families over the past 35 years, as well as endless worthy causes, and we are excited to continue our mission of providing exceptional care for many more years to come.”
