  • 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.

We have been so pleased with Nursery on the Green. The biggest jewel in their crown is the staff, the care and attention they show is unwavering. Day in day out they always welcome you with a such a warm and friendly welcome. Also, the understanding and time they take to make sure they understand our
daughters needs is so reassuring for both her and us. All of this really does make for a happy and nurturing environment which shows as we watch our little girl's confidence grow and grow. Would highly recommend!

We love Nursery on the Green as do our children. Both our children started before they were one and I’ve not worried about them once. Both our children have been looked after by the same key worker who we know well and trust, she is very competent and experienced. The same worker makes so much effort
to update us via the app with lovely updates of videos and photos. I completely trust all the workers at the nursery and they all take time to update us on the children. Although our children only attend two days a week, the staff make us feel like they are there every day, they know them so well. They also make us feel like they are the only children there when they talk to us about the children. The activities are so varied and fun. My daughter has learnt so much in her new group and comes back saying new words and singing new songs each time she attends. We highly recommend the nursery. The outdoor space is fantastic.

From the beginning of our journey, Nursery on the Green has been so flexible and supportive with our son. They allowed us to phase his start which helped immensely after covid. Our son absolutely loves all the staff and the support they give him to grow and develop is excellent. We’re really happy with
our choice and will be sad to leave when he moves on to school!

My son has been attending Nursery on the Green for nearly 2 years since he was under 1 year old.
Initially like most parents I was worried/nervous/anxious about leaving him but he settled quickly and has been enjoying his time at nursery ever since.
I love the spaces the nursery has for each stage
of development, the garden is especially amazing, lots of space and different activities on offer too. My son loves the garden and likes to run around with his friends (especially playing on the sit on cars!).
Staff are friendly and very caring, they communicate well with any updates. If my son isn’t 100% himself on the morning drop off they are quick to distract him in engaging him in activities and they let me know via the parent app that he is happy and settled.
We have now moved from the area so he will be starting a new pre school in September, it will be very sad when he attends his last day here.
I 100% recommend this nursery.

We have been very pleased with the nursery for our daughter who is nearly two, in Ladybirds. They have been proactive, responsive and supportive in helping our daughter catch up on her first words. It is a friendly environment and our daughter happily goes in each morning.

Our son has been going to Nursery on the Green since he was 11 months old and loves it there. As a parent, seeing the care the staff give to our son, gives me so much peace of mind. We particularly like the fact that all the staff members seem to get to know each child, by name, even those who are not
in their room. The care and attention given to our son by his key worker shows how hard the team here work. We couldn’t be happier with our nursery choice.

Our son has been attending Nursery on the Green Redbourn since he was 7 months old. Now, at 14 months old, we've seen tremendous growth and development, and we credit a lot of that to the nursery. The staff at Nursery on the Green Redbourn, have created an environment where our son can interact with
other children, participate in activities like painting, and enjoy nutritious and delicious lunches. We're especially grateful for the emphasis on independence that the nursery has fostered in our son, which has helped him grow and thrive. We couldn't be happier with our experience at Nursery on the Green Redbourn, and we're excited to continue seeing our son's progress there.

Our experience at Nursery on the Green, Redbourn has been wonderful. All of the staff are just so friendly, everyone always says hello with genuine smiles on their faces, they know who you are and your child well very quickly. Our daughter (2.5 years) settled in within a fortnight and has been confident,
bubbly and always happy at drop-off and pick-up. The facilities are fabulous, in comparison to the long list of nurseries we visited this was by far the biggest! So light and airy with so much variety of levels and play areas. The staff clearly care about there being varied activities for the kids on a daily basis too. The garden is massive, are daughter loves being outside so this was a big draw and she was out there daily getting fresh air. Our daughter's speech really came on here too and she came back singing lots of new songs which was very cute. The kids always seem loud, happy and themselves, which I think is a testament to a great nursery! We always get thorough daily feedback too. 5*

Nursery on the Green has been wonderful for our two-year-old son, we relocated from overseas last minute and moved to a new area, the staff at the Nursery on the Green have been so kind and caring and have really worked hard to support the development of our son. As a parent, I’ve had a really positive
experience and would highly recommend it.

Nursery on the Green is like a little family! We sent our elder child to a different nursery and so have a base to compare with and I can say that it's a different kettle of fish!
The staff are so lovely and warm. When you walk in to pick up/collect your child, each and every one of them will say hello
to both the parent but more importantly my little one, no matter the room you are in. It's such a lovely way to start and end the day. It's a really bespoke service for your child. They will take your steer as a parent as to what they are/aren't ready for, of course providing their professional insight and experience. The biggest tell for me is how happy my son is when I drop him off and pick him up - he's never cried and he absolutely loves it. Sometimes he doesn't even want to come home! A special mention to our current key worker who is so caring and amazing with all kids! We couldn't be happier to have our son at the nursery, we'd recommend it to anyone!

My little boy loves nursery. He's always so happy and excited to go in and often speaks about different staff members at home and what he's been up to.
I'm so happy with his progress in his development; he's always learning something new with all the great activities that they do with the children!
The nursery is also really accommodating whenever I've asked for any changes to my little boys' routine or if I have any questions.

This nursery is amazing! All of its staff always go above and beyond to look after the children and make their days as exciting and educational as possible. I am so glad I picked this nursery for my son.
The nursery also updates you daily through an app with what your child has eaten, their sleep
schedule, activities they have done and lots of pictures too. There are also regular learning stories which tell you what your child has learnt this month. I cannot fault this nursery, it is fantastic!

Our little boy has been with the Nursery on the Green team for just over a year now and we can not be more than happier with the team and the way they care for him. It is really hard for myself and my wife to leave him to go to work but he is always more than happy to go in, especially when he sees
certain team members and his friends. He has made some lovely friendships and his communication and language skills have come on leaps and bounds since being with the team. Nursery on the Green is extremely friendly and approachable but also supportive and understanding where our son's needs and development are concerned.

Love this nursery. The staff always go that extra mile to make my life easier when working. They think of everything. Just supply spare clothes!
They have helped me transition back into work with ease. The flexible drop-off and pick-up times are amazing and my children have both loved it!
They do
a variety of activities for the children and they have both formed some long-lasting friendships.
When the children have accidents, I am kept well informed and they are fully investigated and they care for my children as I would.
Highly recommend.

We could not be happier with Nursery on the Green, since deciding to send our daughter there eight months ago! The learning and development programme is structured and varied, with plenty of opportunities for children to explore both indoor and outdoor activities. Updates via the app are incredibly
detailed and consistent throughout the day, with additional monthly progress reports and even parent's evening! The menu is enviable, healthy and varied. The staff are always friendly and make an effort to really get to know children and parents throughout the nursery - not just in the specific room - which provides a real community feeling.

The Nursery on the Green is a huge improvement on the previous nursery that used to be based in the same premises. The refurbishment both inside and out has improved the facilities beyond recognition. Investing in more equipment means there is plenty to engage and challenge the children and although
our daughter gravitates towards certain activities, there is plenty of to keep her entertained and help with her learning as she prepares for school. She has also developed friendships and her social skills have come on leaps and bounds because she has plenty of interaction with other children and adults at nursery. If there is one area for improvement, we sometimes felt communication over staffing changes could have been better at times but, generally, the communication and weekly newsletter keeps us well informed and staff have always been very helpful when asked. We know our daughter will miss the nursery when she moves on but it has given her a great grounding for the next step.

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.
