It will be my son's last day at Hedgehogs tomorrow and it’s going to be emotional. Hedgehogs has been a welcoming environment that encourage learning by letting my son be himself and playing to his strengths. He has thrived at Hedgehogs and although he will have only just turned 4 when he starts reception,
I know Hedgehogs has developed his physical skill set as well as building his confidence and communication skills.
The staff are amazing, they genuinely care about the well-being of your child and regularly update the app so you can see photos and videos of your child’s day. For parents like me that were anxious, it is a great way to put your mind at ease. I highly recommend this nursery.

Both my children have thrived at this preschool. I can’t recommend it enough. They have access to forest school and the allotment. Their development has come on so much during their time here. The staff genuinely care about the education and wellbeing of the children and allowing them opportunities
to be independent.

My son started Hedgehogs Preschool Hempstead during the September term 2021. My son really struggled with separation anxiety during the whole pandemic to which I worried he would find it hard to settle in, but he completely and utterly proved me wrong. After about a month of Wednesday mornings, I saw
a huge difference in my son. Upon collection, he comes out with a huge grin on his face and expresses to me that he has to have so much fun whilst being there. This makes me feel so happy knowing he’s enjoying himself. Each and every staff member I’ve dealt with have been lovely and attentive to my child’s needs. My reason for choosing Hedgehogs Preschool Hempstead after a bad experience elsewhere was upon my viewing every single child was happy. Not one child was upset and you could genuinely see just how happy the children were to be there. Therefore, without hesitation, I chose Hedgehogs Preschool Hempstead and that I am glad I did.

My son loves going to Hedgehogs Preschool & Forest School Hempstead, he literally drags me to the door and has cried on occasions when he has to leave. The staff are very friendly and there is always good communication about how his session has been, whether it be photos on an app for me to view or
a quick chat when I pick him up. My son is still learning his words and needs a little bit more support and they have been very helpful in this area, which has put our minds at ease. The space at Hedgehogs Preschool & Forest School Hempstead is not overwhelming but they have made brilliant use of the area both inside and out. We are extremely happy with Hedgehogs Preschool & Forest School Hempstead so much so that we have just put our daughters name down for when she’s ready to start.

My daughter has been attending the nursery since January 2020 and I couldn’t be happier with the setting and care that is provided to her. More importantly, she is always so very very happy and content when I drop and collect her.
The staff are friendly, caring and experienced they do the utmost to
take on changes to accommodate my daughter's needs and they would always look to seek improvements to the nursery although I feel not needed.
My daughter attends most of the week and I receive regular updates at the end of each day and through tapestry, she is also kept clean and dry (clothes are changed if needed and her face is always wiped of any food or runny nose). I would highly recommend this nursery.

My daughter is going to this nursery since she was 2yo. She absolutely loves this place. It’s so welcoming, warm and friendly. My daughter gets there so much confidence and as a bilingual kid, she thrives so well and learns so much! Forest school is amazing opportunity too. Highly recommend to everyone.
