Our little boy started in October and, as first time parents, there was some anxiety leaving him in a childcare setting, however the staff went above and beyond to ensure that he was settled but also allaying our worries too! The settling in days were perfect and the information shared on the App allows
us to see how his day is going.
He LOVES coming to nursery now! This can only be due to the care and attention that ALL staff show him and the carefully thought out activities that he takes part in. We will be very sad to leave the baby room soon, but are excited for his adventures to continue in the toddler room! Thank you for all that you do!

Our son has been attending the Boys & Girls Nursery Croxley Green since he was 14 months and he has thrived there.
The staff are so friendly, approachable and caring. The communication from the nursery via the app is great and gives updates throughout the day of how our son is getting on and what
he has been up to.
They have supported his development in readiness for school.
We're really grateful for the care and support they've given him and would highly recommend this nursery.
Thank you to all the staff.

I couldn't be happier with Boys&Girls Croxley! Initially, as a first-time mum, I was nervous about leaving him but the team were very supportive and always updated the app regularly with pics and activities (they go above and beyond to make his time interesting and enjoyable). All the staff are kind
and caring, and my little boy genuinely loves his time there. The reception team are always welcoming and helpful. I do not have a bad word to say about it. Highly recommend!

Just back from another lovely morning at Boys & Girls Nursery Croxley Green.
Grandparents were invited to a breakfast morning, a wonderful, warm welcome as always from all staff.
Lovely to see our grandson in this environment and he delighted in showing us around the activities.
So kind of the girls
to remember I'm a coeliac and so provided gluten-free biscuits.
Thank you all.

Boys & Girls in Croxley is a fantastic nursery, and we would highly recommend it. The staff are wonderful; they really care about all the children and understand their personalities/what they're into, and look to help develop these areas of interest. There's always a really big variety of activities
planned for the children each day, along with giving them the space to play and run around with their friends outside; it feels like a great mix of structure/routine and freedom/independence. They give regular updates throughout the day on the app about what the children have been doing/what they've eaten/how they've slept etc, and regularly send us pictures, which is really lovely to see. We couldn't feel more lucky to have sent our children here!

Boys & Girls, Croxley Green went over and above to support my daughter at their nursery. My daughter has special medical requirements and a restricted diet and the team did all they could to provide her with a safe setting and learn how to cook and prepare meals for her, there was no hesitation and
the nursery manager was confident that they would be able to learn and adapt, which they did. This was hugely reassuring for us as parents. Our daughter bonded with all the members, the purpose-built location is safe, large and full of fun activities. Parking is good and convenient for drop-offs and pick-ups and the children seem to settle well there.

Both of my boys (now 5 and 3 years old) attended Boys & Girls Nursery in Croxley and we could not have chosen a better nursery for them. Not only does the team feel like a family, they are trustworthy, reliable and super friendly. My boys bonded with them all and often talk about members of the Boys
& Girls team. Both of my children attend preschool/Year 1 at a local primary school now and all of the teachers have commented that the children from Boys & Girls nursery are always ahead of the game with their letters/phonics/numbers and independent play and learning. Boys & Girls teaching through play is great and in comparison to other mums I have spoken with, they do a lot more than other nurseries in regard to learning/teaching. The food options were always varied and yummy and I always felt that my boys were safe and happy. If I do choose to have any more children, I will not consider any other nursery and I miss the team there already.

Boys & Girls, Croxley, are truly a wonderful nursery! Our daughter has just moved into the toddler room. Sad to leave the great team in the baby room, but excited for the new environment! All the staff are so helpful, they were great during the settling period (covid baby) and have really built a beautiful
relationship with our daughter. They give us really good and detailed feedback, tell anecdotes about her day, update the app often and I genuinely feel like they care about and know my child very well. The activities are varied, the food is good, and they manage to get a pretty nap reluctant girl to sleep 1.5hrs a day! My daughter comes home knowing new things every week and she has made real friends already amongst the other children. I enjoy spending time in the garden/nursery at pick-up and chat to the staff and other parents/babies. I am very happy to have my girl there 4 days a week and I would highly recommend it to anyone!

Both our kids went to this nursery, in different age groups. They have both progressed a lot in their respective classes in both speech and confidence since attending, and the staff are all very friendly and approachable. I've been impressed also with their cautiousness over the pandemic; we have felt
well informed over every change in policy and knew that our children were in safe hands! They also provide an app which we can use to keep track of what they ate and learnt at nursery. Highly recommended.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.162)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.162) out of 10 for Boys & Girls Nursery Croxley Green is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 7 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.976 for Boys & Girls Nursery Croxley Green is calculated as follows: ( (81 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 83 Ratings = 4.976

  • b) 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 4.186 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Boys & Girls Nursery Croxley Green is based on 7 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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 = 3.7

    • ii) 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 72 number of registered child places is 14.4. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.4 = 0.486

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
