  • Nursery on the Green (Redbourn), Hertford
Nursery on the Green is a converted building in the Village of Redbourn.

Much of the character of the building has been retained to provide spacious and interesting rooms for the children on the ground floor.

All children have daily access to the fantastic secure and enclosed garden as the nursery fully recognises the impact that being outdoors has on a child’s social, emotional and physical development.

The nursery provides a happy, social environment where every child is treated as an individual. Children’s days are packed full of activities designed in line with EYFS principles and implemented by highly trained and knowledgeable staff.

They offer an fully inclusive service that includes formula milk, nappies, nappy cream, baby wipes, sun cream and freshly prepared, well-balanced meals throughout the day and all activities.

Located close to St Albans and Hemel Hempstead with excellent transport links nearby and easy access to the M1.

Our 4-month old son joined Nursery on the Green a couple of months ago. We only have good things to say about Nursery on the Green. The staff are welcoming and caring, they always engage with new learning opportunities! Our child joined when he was very young, so it was very important for us to feel
reassured that he is safe and well looked after. We have no doubts that , he will develop in a happy and loving environment, and looking forward to attending every session!
We receive daily updates about his routine, sleeping times, food, and progress.


We would certainly recommend this nursery to others!


Two big pluses: i) they respond to e-mails and phone calls very quickly, and ii) the beautiful surroundings.

My daughter looks forward to going to the Nursery on the Green and loves all the staff there. They clearly treat her well, know her personality and needs which are met perfectly. They provide a variety of activities each day. They have been very flexible and supportive with amending leave dates for
our daughter with uncertainty around a move. I leave my daughter feeling completely confident she will be safe and well looked after every session. Would definitely recommend this nursery to other parents.

My daughter absolutely loves coming here, she has a very close link with the ladies who look after her. She has been able to pick up a lot of life skills and been able to create friendship bonds. There is a lot of enrichment for the kids to do with a revolving schedule of topics they teach week to week.
The in-house cooking of all meals I believe has helped my daughter enjoy all different tastes of food.

We relocated to Redbourn with our daughter when she was 2.5 years old (July 2023) and she joined the Butterflies/Pre-School room. She loved her time at Nursery on the Green. All the staff were kind and caring and she engaged in a wide range of activities. We received a monthly update regarding her development
and overall were very happy with her care.
Our son joined the Caterpillars (baby) room in April 2024. The staff were fantastic, warm and caring, and he loved the variety of messy play/ different activities he could get involved in. Our son requires an inhaler and we found one particular member of staff, to be very helpful, diligent and reassuring in regards to knowing when to use it, which was great.
We were sad to leave Nursery on the Green after 18 months and would definitely recommend them.

My daughter has had the most amazing time at NOG. She has attended from 9 months to 3.5 years. She has been happy, very well looked after, and enjoys a wide range of activities and outdoor time. The communication with parents via the app is consistent and the care from every single member of staff has
been fantastic.

Our nursery experience has been such a joy despite feeling anxious about sending my daughter to the care of others when she was 9 months old. The team in the Caterpillar room have been so great in welcoming my daughter and filling her days with activities we wouldn't ever get the chance to do day to
day at home. They don't miss a beat, suggesting we change my daughter's bottle when they noticed she was drinking less, and it worked perfectly. Couldn't thank them enough.

My child has been going to this nursery for a little over a year now and it has been so fantastic to see how much she loves it there. It is evident that the staff care about her and encourage her development to bring out her happiest self. It was thoroughly comforting to see her adapt to the nursery
so quickly when she first started and the communication through the parent app was also great to see little picture updates. The learning story updates provide me a great insight into the nursery's perception of her development which is lovely to see.

The nursery is clean, with great food, good activities and the app makes it easy to follow your child's progress. The hours are perfect for working parents. However, the best thing by far is the staff, they are endlessly wonderful, friendly and enthusiastic. They take a real interest and care in your
child and I cannot thank them enough. Keep up the great work.

Great place for kids. My son is going to Nursery on the Green (Redbourn) nursery for the last 3 years. He has social anxiety but the staff here is so amazing and always ready to help. There were bad days for my son when he didn't want to go inside the nursery but trust me all three of the staff members
have magic wands. They sat with my son, worked with him and made him a confident, happy little boy.
Senco is great and always ready to help!

My daughter has attended here for just over one year. Starting in the baby room (caterpillars) and now in the middle room (ladybirds). I can't put into words really just how amazing the nursery is and the teams that work with the children. My daughter has come on in her development so much and if I
struggle as a single mum the team at all levels are approachable and supportive in helping and guidance. From the time we arrive I say 'we're here' and my daughter jumps out the car and can't wait to get in and greets everyone with warm hugs and smiles. Which just goes to show how much she loves it there. Honestly It felt like home when I viewed it and it's felt like a safe Haven for us both ever since. Thank you to everyone there!

My little one has been attending since she was 9 months old. This was right in the middle of covid so you can imagine how fraught that was, but literally from day one I didn’t have to worry about her at nursery.
The staff are delightful, all of them, not just her care workers. The communication we
received was great so I can see what she’s been up to and her happy face playing with her mates. The app gives you such peace of mind, and each day she comes back with more and more drawings. Just a fabulous nursery with great facilities, I know she will miss it when she starts school!

Nursery on the Green as a whole is an amazing nursery. From management and teaching staff to the cooks, all staff here are so welcoming, kind, and caring.
The staff have been amazing at helping my daughter settle into the room. They have all kept me informed of how she's been doing throughout the day.
My daughter is a very happy girl when she is at nursery and has settled in quickly. This wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for the amazing staff.
I don't have a bad word to say about Nursery on the Green! They are all amazing!

Highly recommend Nursery on the Green, everyone made me feel so at ease when first bringing my daughter in. She absolutely loves it and the nursery practitioners. She has progressed so much in the few months she has been there, including using baby sign language and babbling away. I couldn’t be happier
with the nursery, I know she is well looked after whilst I am at work.

Our older son went to Nursery on the Green and loved it so there was no question that when I ended maternity leave with my second son, he would go there too. The building is well set up with different rooms depending on age and the staff are incredibly dedicated to their job - many are the same staff
that were there three years ago, showing the retention is great and the staff enjoy their jobs. My son has attended for three months now and I can already see he has made huge leaps in his development, learning through play. We’re so lucky to have this nursery in the village, it’s a wonderful place!

Our daughter started at the nursery in September 2023. She has been there for 3 months now and has the best time! Their outside area is fantastic and I love that the children can come and go whenever they want to. We have received brilliant observations via the app, so thorough, it’s great to read about
what she’s doing that day and see pictures of her having so much fun. The 2 team leaders in her room have been amazing and have made our daughters settling in so much smoother and have been so kind and caring to her it’s made leaving her so much easier knowing she’s with people that genuinely care and want her to be happy. All of the staff in her room and on reception always make us feel so welcome when we arrive and always have a smile and greet her by her name which makes her feel very special. At pick up we always get feed back about her day. It’s a very nurturing setting and we would definitely recommend Nursery on the green.

Nursery on the Green is an incredible nursery that I would highly recommend. They have been amazing with our son, who absolutely loves it there. The staff are so personable and extremely considerate to each child. Even when moving into a bigger room he had settling sessions so that the transition was
smooth and he was given time to bond with his new key worker. They also have a portal where regular updates are uploaded daily to show how your child’s getting on, which is a great idea and also very reassuring. It’s a fantastic place for any child to go.

Our son has been at nursery since July, when he was 10.5 months old, and he is thriving! I am so happy with our choice in this nursery - the staff, at all levels, are all wonderful and genuinely warm towards everyone, the rooms are so well looked after and planned out each day, with new activities for
each age grouping, and the outside space is great too - it’s clear to see why my son loves his time at nursery! He has made such lovely friends and I love how they also encourage the children to learn through their own play and exploring, but in a safe environment. I would recommend the nursery to anyone I know, without any hesitation.

We are really happy with our experience at Nursery on the Green (Redbourn). The staff are so warm and friendly towards my daughter and make her feel so welcome and at home. I like that they keep the activities varied for the children and also try and encourage independence and self-care. I feel confident

We genuinely feel so lucky to have found a Nursery as fantastic as Nursery on the Green. Our son loves the nursery so much, and all of the staff feel like they care for him just as much as we do! We originally sent him to another Nursery that we just didn't gel with and it just didn't feel right, so
for us it's made a huge difference to how relaxed we feel leaving him at the nursery each time. Drop off's and pick up's are a lovely experience, with all staff and parents greeting each other with a genuine warmth and care. The staff make so much effort to update the app and give you a rundown of each day which is just so lovely to hear. Our son developmentally is hitting all milestones and we credit the amazing staff at Nursery on the Green. We trust them implicitly and their care and service is outstanding in our eyes. The nursery indoor/outdoor setting is fantastic, activities are very varied and always fun. We could never express our gratitude enough to the staff x

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.916)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.916) out of 10 for Nursery on the Green (Redbourn) 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 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.916 for Nursery on the Green (Redbourn) is calculated as follows: ( (307 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 334 Ratings = 4.916

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Nursery on the Green (Redbourn) is based on 28 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • 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 73 number of registered child places is 14.6, which has been reached with 28 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
