I highly recommend this nursery. Everything from the initial (virtual) tour to the induction process, regular newsletters/updates, varied food menu and the feedback on my child's development has been top-notch. The girls working in the baby room are amazing, they settled in my child really well and
she now can't wait to go in and play each day. The structure they use for play and learning is clearly working, her development since starting nursery is clear to see. The nursery is handling the current pandemic situation excellently and their procedures leave me feeling confident that I can drop my baby off into a safe environment.

Our daughter started at Boys & Girls Rickmansworth in January 2021. She was born in lockdown and due to all the restrictions throughout the year, we were worried about how she would settle considering the lack of contact she has had with other people. We are thoroughly impressed with all the staff at
Boys & Girls Rickmansworth who look after our daughter like she's their own, she has settled in no time and we have no issues with dropping her off. We get regular updates every day about what she has eaten, how she has slept and what she has done that day. We can't thank the staff enough for making our daughter's transition to nursery a smooth one.

Fantastic nursery, the staff are all friendly and welcoming making the environment very warm. You can see that they all genuinely care about the children in the school and they are not just there to do a job. Fantastic home-cooked meals so you know your child is being fed properly as well. I couldn’t
recommend Boys and Girls nursery enough.

We highly recommend Boys and Girls Rickmansworth. We’ve got two children there currently, our son who is in pre-school and our daughter who is in the baby room. Our son comes home each day excited to tell us about what he has learnt and what friends he played with, and our daughter (a lockdown baby)
has settled quicker than we ever expected. The staff are caring, attentive, supportive and have a genuine enthusiasm for the children. There have been a lot of adjustments due to Covid and we've always felt that our children are safe at Boys and Girls and that the communication in keeping us up-to-date has been fantastic.

My daughter attended Boys and Girls in Rickmansworth for two and a half years, starting in the baby room just before her 1st birthday. She spent time in each of the four rooms (Baby, Pre-Toddlers, Toddlers and Pre-School) and thoroughly enjoyed her time in each room. There were never any tears dropping
her off in the morning and she always returned happy and tired at the end of the day. The food must have been good as she always ate well during the day.


The room staff were always friendly and gave a good account of her day's activity while the management and administration staff were responsive and helpful on the odd occasion where there was a need to discuss her care or her account.


On the whole, our experience was very positive and she was sad to leave and move onto her next adventure.

Our son started in the baby room at Boys & Girls Nursery Rickmansworth in August this year. With going back to work full time and having had our son with us for the whole of lockdown - I was rather worried about starting him at nursery and some of the anxiety he (and I) would feel but I needn’t have
worried. Boys & Girls have been absolutely fantastic, our son thoroughly loves his time at nursery and I couldn’t feel more reassured. The staff in the baby room have shown absolute professionalism and quality care for our son. His face lights up when he sees them and every morning I drop him off, his joy and excitement at going to Nursery for the day begins. We have been really impressed with any member of staff that have worked with my son, particularly for his extra hour in the mornings. They are all very welcoming and make a big fuss of our son (which he loves). Thank you, Boys & Girls.

My daughter spent three wonderful years at Boys & Girls following her elder sister who also spent an amazing three years there. The staff are amazing the facilities as superb and the atmosphere is so friendly and relaxing. My daughter has a great time there and came on so much in her personality and
development. It set her up perfectly for preschool where she is now. Thanks to everyone at Boys & Girls; two of our children now through there and our son will be starting there in 2021.

We chose Boys & Girls when we moved to Rickmansworth in early 2019 primarily because it was located close to the station. Almost 2 years later, I have not regretted the decision once. It's a fantastic nursery and my son, who started in the pre-school room, loved it. The staff were brilliant - always
patient and always smiling. They also made sure (at least pre-COVID) that there were loads of fun activities and excursions, and he really enjoyed the Sports Coach and French sessions. He's settled into school really well this September and that I think has a lot to do with the nursery and their efforts to prepare the children for the transition to primary school. I have already recommended the nursery to family members and would do so again.

My daughter has been attending this nursery since she was one year old and she is now leaving at age four years to start school in September. All of the staff from the baby room through to pre-school have been so amazing and supportive through my daughter's time there. They are highly skilled staff
who all adore the children and make each child feel so special. The manager is always available to provide any advice, guidance and sometimes reassurance for anything you are concerned about. In the last three years, the nursery has always gone above and beyond to make sure our daughter and we, as parents, are happy and for that, we will always be grateful. We will really miss Boys & Girls nursery.

My son is nearing the end of his time at Rickmansworth as he is starting his new adventure and attending school.
My son first entered the nursery at just 10-months-old.
He has learnt so much over the years, and the staff have always been helpful.

Our son started with Boys & Girls Nursery Rickmansworth when he was 11-months-old, and is now leaving to go to big school. He has really enjoyed being there, his key workers have been great, and he's made lots of friends. His development has been great; he comes home having learnt new things from counting
to letters to French to arts and crafts. The nursery has been great with us as parents, good communication, regular newsletters, excellent during and after lockdown. I'd strongly recommend Boys & Girls.

We have loved our time with Boys & Girls and are sad to say goodbye as our daughter moves to big school. She has been there since she was ten months and has flourished into a confident and happy girl with the kind, supportive environment provided by the amazing staff. The staff are amazing and my daughter
absolutely adores them all. The environment they create and the effort they put in has meant my daughter has loved the time she has spent there. Thank you to everyone for all your hard work and we will all miss you.

Both of my boys had a fantastic time at Boys & Girls Nursery school. Both of my children are Autistic and they received all the necessary support they required while at the nursery and have had a wonderful time growing up in such a loving, caring environment. The teaching staff really provided the best
for my boys and they helped them grow and made sure they had a safe and happy environment to grow. My boys always looked for the next day when they could go to school and meet friends. I would recommend this nursery school as it is the best for me and my family.

Girls in the baby room are really good.
You always can get honest feedback and advice about your child.
I was very anxious to leave my baby in nursery at the beginning. Now, I know my child is in good hands and all my worries have disappeared.

We have loved our time with Boys & Girls and are sad to say goodbye as our youngest son moves to big school.
Both our boys have flourished at Boys & Girls, with the kind, supportive environment provided by the amazing staff. Like any nursery, there is a relatively steady turnover of staff but I think
this is very common and it has not led to any negative results in our experience. There are plenty of long standing staff who really know and love the children and who help to inspire the newer or younger staff members. The atmosphere at Boys & Girls has always been a very happy one and with its own purpose built kitchen with the most wonderful chef. We think this nursery offers you all you could wish for. The facilities, in general, are well appointed, clean and hygienic, with excellent attention to detail for the kids. We highly recommend Boys & Girls and wish them all the very best for their ongoing success. If you choose to send your children here, I hope they turn out to be as happy there as our boys.

What I really like about the team is that they all make the effort the know my daughter’s name regardless of which room they work in. The team, in particular, the nursery manager are amazing and are flexible in catering for my childcare needs in particular due to my work commitments, sometimes at short
notice!


Most important of all, my daughter loves going to nursery, and with all the activities really gives her a broad environment to learn but also to have fun and make friends!


Many thanks to the team!

My child has been attending Boys & Girls Nursery since 2017. All the staff have been amazing and genuinely care about the wellbeing of the children in their care. They have worked with me to get the best out of my child and it gives me peace of mind when I drop off my child to know that he is in very
good hands. I honestly cannot recommend this nursery enough. Great environment and great people.

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.096)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.096) out of 10 for Boys & Girls Nursery Rickmansworth is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 8 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 4.896 for Boys & Girls Nursery Rickmansworth is calculated as follows: ( (86 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.896

  • 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 4.2 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Boys & Girls Nursery Rickmansworth is based on 8 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 + 0.1 = 3.8

    • 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 100 number of registered child places is 20. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 20 = 0.4

  • 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.
