My daughter joined boys and girls age 1. After being extremely attached to me due to a slightly difficult start in life with severe reflux I was very nervous about leaving her. The staff could not have been more understanding and did all they could to put us both at ease from the very beginning. She
has formed friendships and strong attachments with the key workers as she has progressed from the baby room to toddlers and now preschool and looks forward to going in the morning. I’ve always felt confident that she feels safe and secure in this environment and the nursery has always upheld high standards. I’d have no hesitation recommending it to anyone.

My daughter joined the Preschool room after we moved to the area earlier this year. I was initially worried about moving her from her old nursery but the team have made her (and us!) feel so welcome that she settled in really well from day 1! She absolutely loves going in and we really enjoy hearing
about her day. The staff put a lot of effort and energy into the activities, the meals are cooked freshly onsite and it's also all managed very well. Any questions or concerns we've had have always been addressed very promptly and the team are always super supportive (thank you, Boys & Girls team!). We would definitely recommend this nursery!

My little boy has been attending Boys & Girls since he was 8 months old and we have had an amazing experience so far. My son absolutely loves nursery and has developed so much since starting. This is down to the work ethic and care each staff member provides to the child and also the family of the child.
Highly recommend this nursery for anyone looking within this area.

My daughter has attended Boys & Girls Nursery Croxley Green since she was 9 months old. The nursery has been amazing throughout, my daughter has learnt so much and loved attending. All of the staff are lovely and have taken time to get to know my daughter over the years.
Myself and my daughter will
be sad to leave the nursery in a few months time, they have felt like an extended part of the family especially over the last year with Covid.

My twin baby girls joined Boys & Girls Nursery Croxley Green in January this year and we've been delighted with the nursery. The staff have all been so welcoming, friendly and my girls are always so happy when I pick them up. I barely get a backwards glance when I drop them off as well, which is surely
a brilliant sign of how eager they are to go. As a first time parent it is so reassuring to know they are in such a warm environment. Communication from the nursery has been brilliant and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

My two children aged 2 and 3 attend the Croxley Green Boys and Girls Nursery. I am continually impressed with their professionalism and high standards of care, and especially so during the pandemic. Both children ask to go to nursery on their days off!

My son has been attending this nursery for the last four months (preschool room) and is really happy there. The staff were brilliant in helping him to settle in and he always comes home full of stories about his day. We can tell he has so much fun there. Staff and management are really friendly, enthusiastic
and a pleasure to deal with. We will be sending our second child there as well in a few months and would happily recommend this nursery.

The staff are so warm, caring and kind-hearted and for that reason, my son has settled into the nursery very quickly and each time we collect him he’s smiling. The skills he has picked up are priceless and every day we notice a new change in his development. I cannot recommend Boys & Girls at Croxley
Green enough and when it came to putting my second child into nursery I had no hesitation at knowing this was where he would go. I’m grateful for the care and support all the staff provide!

I've just sent my second child, to Boys and Girls Croxley. She loves it as much as did my boy. The staff are all wonderful and very empathic. They deserve medals for keeping the nursery open during the pandemic. I'm a doctor in the NHS and they really have my admiration- they don't get to wear masks
etc. I wouldn't be able to work in ICU without their support.
The meals are absolutely yummy! Cooked fresh on site.
The hours are very flexible and they always try to accommodate.

Our younger daughter attended the nursery from age 10 months to nearly 4 years. The nursery are wonderful and she loved her time there. She settled in really well and was also greeted with a smile and big welcome. She was involved in lots of fun activities. The indoor and outdoor spaces are great, and
the staff and really kind and helpful.

I would highly recommend this nursery for kids, it is very impressive to see the proactive staff doing so much for kids. The girls are very active and approachable. They take care of the kid's soo well and being parents you can trust the nursery. My daughter loves to go to the nursery every day, which
shows she is enjoying learning and playing there.

I highly recommend this nursery.


The admin team, manager and the wonderful girls are all very approachable and friendly.


They provide a variety of play through learn activities and have outside partners coming to provide singing/dancing classes.
I really appreciate the girls who set up different

activities every day for the little ones to explore.


Also, the team is quite pro-active which we can't expect from people dealing with a bunch of little monkeys.

The Boys & Girls Nursery in Croxley Green Business Park is a very well organized and professional nursery. I sent my 1st child of 1 year old here at the start of 2019, I was worried at first in having to put your trust in someone else for the care and handling of your child, but these worries were soon
to be a distant memory when you see first hand the extreme care and happy environment that the nurses make for each and every child that attends this nursery. I could not personally imagine for any other nursery to offer such care and happiness to my child than what the Boys & Girls Nursery in Croxley Green do for mine, Highly recommended too all!

My four year old and two year old have both attended Boys & Girls since they were ten months old and love coming to nursery.
The care provided, from babies through to preschool is amazing.
Both my children have grown in confidence and independence and made great friends and it's brilliant to see them
come home with new skills and stories.
All the staff are so professional and attentive. I know my children are in safe hands.

My daughter was seven months when she started Boys & Girls nursery and attends three full days a week. Since her first day (one and a half years ago), she has absolutely loved going to nursery each day and we have not had one tear when dropping her off. The staff are fantastic and always very friendly;
they make it very welcoming and all the staff know my daughter by name. I believe my daughter’s social skills are purely down to attending Boys & Girls and I couldn’t ask for more out of a nursery; I would highly recommend them.

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.
