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 girls have been at the nursery for a year and a half, after switching from another nursery. The team is so friendly and really approachable. You can tell they are passionate, invested and take pride in the work they do with the kids. Parents are always welcomed in the space at pick up and drop off.
The team really takes time to talk with parents. They go above and beyond to make the children feel at home. The facilities are pretty amazing too everything the kids need, a dedicated art room and loads of space to play. Love the access to the garden for the older children. We couldn’t have asked for more.

Our two children are thriving in this nursery, thanks to the staff being so lovely and caring. We simply never worry when our children are in nursery as we know they are happy there and very well looked after by the amazing staff. The nursery has a nice outside space, where the kids can play and explore
and the inside is as lovely, with plenty of wooden toys, dens and snuggle areas where the children can have some quiet time, chat or listen to stories. The management is great as well and we always get prompt replies to any of our queries. Highly recommended!

Our daughter is always happy to go to nursery every morning. She has a great time when she is there three days a week, and we feel confident knowing that she is being well taken care of, and in safe and capable hands. We will send our son to the same nursery when is he a little older.

We transferred our son from a different nursery due to work commitments. We were slightly concerned about the move but we really didn't need to be. Over the last 8 months, our son has thrived in the positive and nurturing environment provided by the team at Nursery on the Green. They have a real interest
and knowledge of our son and his likes/dislikes and actively look for opportunities to engage, stretch and challenge him. The outside space is his favourite place to be. Communication has always been excellent and professional. We could not be happier with the level of care provided.

Such a wonderful nursery, my daughter has been attending since she was 10 months old and the staff are all so kind and lovely! The facilities are fantastic and it is always clean and fresh. The app they use is brilliant to keep us updated throughout the day and on her development. I cannot recommend

My child has settled quickly into Nursery on the Green, he goes off in the morning easily and happily and that’s the main thing for me knowing that he enjoys it there. The staff in his room have been amazing settling him in, they work so hard and really get to know your child and their needs. The nursery
itself has lots of facilities and areas for the children to play and explore, with some great activities. It’s set out modern and clean with a homely feel. The updates on the app throughout the day is great, it’s nice to have information on what their upto. Management and all the team are always welcoming, helpful and respond so promptly to any queries. We are really happy to have our son attend here.

My two boys have been attending Nursery on the Green for 6 months and we have been so happy with our experience. The facilities are so beautiful and no doubt support the children in their learning and development, as well as the various activities created for the children. My older son was very quiet
to start with (he is not at home) and the team spent time with him making sure he felt comfortable and finding ways to help him settle. I am now assured he is very loud! I was worried about my youngest settling as he started during the pandemic but he absolutely loves it. This is no doubt down to the wonderful staff at the nursery who are all so lovely and wonderful. We live in Harpenden and whilst there are plenty of nurseries here, we are happy with the longer journey for our boys to enjoy such a special place.

My daughter started at the nursery in September 2020 and it has been fantastic for her social and developmental skills over the tricky lockdown period. The staff have always been friendly, know my daughter well and have responded to any concerns or requests quickly and efficiently. The communications
I receive both verbally, through the online portal and from newsletters give me great confidence that my daughter is thriving there. She seems to love walking through the doors without a backwards glance!

Absolutely the best nursery, from their activities to feeding. It feels brand new when you walk in, it’s so clean and fresh. They do so many different activities, my little one often comes home with things he’s made and I can see by the up to date photos that he’s having the best time! I especially
love their outdoor space. The staff are all so friendly and professional, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. I had so much anxiety and they ensured me that my baby would remain safe and happy. They are always willing to help and accommodate all my needs. I’ve never seen a child come out unhappy and always recommend this nursery to parents and I’m so proud of how my child is excelling, with his speech, walking, recognising colours and shapes.

Our son was two months old when we went into lockdown for the first time in 2020 and as such, it's been a very strange first year for him and us as first time parents. We spent every day together in 2020 which was amazingly special but also with many classes being cancelled and the opportunity to see
our friends and their children not really possible, we really hoped nursery would be a great help. However, I was nervous as to how our son would settle in as it would be such a sudden change to being without us and finding out that there are other places and people in the world! We have been so happy to see our son settle in so quickly and to enjoy going to nursery, meeting and playing with other children and forming bonds with the adults and children alike. The staff have been incredibly understanding of what a big change it was for me particularly and have provided me with all the feedback, photos and videos which has really helped. I love the parent app as it means I am in touch too.

We could not be happier with the nursery! The staff are super kind and are genuinely delighted to get to spend the day with our child. We get great reports of fun and interesting things our child did during the day and communication in general is great. We moved to the area during the pandemic and the
nursery supported us throughout settling in and learning how to navigate these uncertain times. Communication on this has been great too. The nursery itself is gorgeous, with big bright spaces and lots of different activities to capture children’s imagination. Our toddler waves goodbye and walks in super happy every morning, it can’t get better than that! I feel very grateful to have found that peace of mind for our family, knowing our child is learning in a safe and happy environment.

A beautiful nursery, with amazing staff who’ve helped my little boy settle in so well.
The staff can’t do enough, they are so helpful and caring. Right from the settling in session, they went above and beyond - from ensuring they ordered in advance my son's specific formula milk, to the daily interactions
and sharing updates on the Parent Zone app. After a month of settling in, I now have a very happy toddler going in! He loves his key worker and all the lovely team that look after him!
The place is beautifully laid out, from the toys to the garden and play area, it’s wonderfully designed and you can see how happy the kids are playing there!
Can’t praise them or the setting enough.
One small downside... parking! The car park is small but that really is clutching at straws!

We've been so impressed with the facilities, the staff and the care at Nursery on the Green in Redbourn. It's was strange for him to start a new nursery during the pandemic when we were unable to go into nursery with him, but the staff were so brilliant at making sure he was happy and making sure we
as parents knew how he was doing. He absolutely loves it there - always happy to go in in the morning and always happily exhausted at the end of the day. I would confidently recommend the nursery to anyone.
We're currently in the process of moving house (and counties) and I have to say, finding my son a new nursery that I'm as happy and confident in will be tricky - Nursery on the Green is a tough act to follow!

Nursery on the Green is a wonderful place to send your children. The nursery has absolutely amazing facilities to offer to little ones. My son, who has been attending the nursery since the beginning of the year absolutely loves every area of the nursery from its spacious garden and play "road" to its
fully functioning kitchen. You would be totally blown away by the whole environment and it must be an extremely magical place for children to play, socialise and learn. Another reason to recommend this nursery is the staff. From the moment I enquired about a potential place for my son right through to now, they have all been welcoming and supportive. My son bonded to them immediately. They are extremely kind and patient and nothing is too much trouble. They are always on hand to answer any questions and are always willing to help with any issues your child may have.

My son started at nursery when he was fairly young; at 10 months he settled in very quickly and has always loved the staff. Now, at 14 months, he is delighted when we drop him off and comes home happy and tired! The staff are wonderful and communicate brilliantly with parents. The combination of their
cheerful chat at pick up and the information I get through the Parent Zone app makes me feel really well informed about my son’s day. The facilities here are second to none and I hope my son can stay until he’s ready for school!

We looked for ages for a setting that matched our values as closely as possible and we were delighted to find Nursery on The Green. From our first visit, we loved the space, the intuitive way things have been laid out to foster their development and the feel we got from the amazing manager. We have
not been disappointed at all, every member of the team has been lovely and we can tell they genuinely care about the children in their care. Our key person is exceptional and made us feel comfortable from the start. Our son has settled well and runs in at the start of the day now, lovely place and people, we feel confident that we are leaving our child in the best possible environment.

My two and a half-year-old started at this nursery after lockdown (previously at another nursery before) so it was a bit different not being able to go in with her especially for her settling sessions but the staff were amazing and so welcoming and friendly, she settled extremely quickly. We were so
impressed by the space, activities available and garden area having attended this nursery under previous management. It is newly refurbished and looks amazing. I love getting updates on the ParentZone app on how she is getting along during the day. The staff have shared lots of insights into her activities while at nursery and her development. Recently after the birth of my second child, they supported her during her first day after the birth and made a fuss of her being a big sister. We were able to share photos and put notes via the app so she was getting consistent messages of support from all her caregivers. Our experience with the nursery and staff has been brilliant, 100% recommend.

I’m extremely happy with our son’s new nursery. The staff have been superb and evidently, motivation is high on account of both the obvious investment from the new ownership and the excellent leadership of the new manager. We were happy when our daughter attended the nursery school under previous ownership
and things have just moved to another level. Very friendly, great facilities and although a big company owner, the nursery still has a family feel. We love it so does our son!

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.
