I can't praise Hitchin House and all of the staff enough. The facilities are outstanding, as is the level of care and attention that the staff provide. It's clear that the staff genuinely care about the children and their development. My daughter has been attending for almost 2 years and has not once been hesitant to go inside in the morning. She always comes out beaming, excited to tell me what she's been up to that day (currently she's obsessed with the climbing wall) . They really do go the extra mile, from dancing, yoga, Montessori activities and currently watching their classroom caterpillars turn into a butterflies, it's always a joy hearing what they're doing to ensure the children are engaged and learning new things/life skills. The food provided is also very high quality with such a diverse menu. They keep parents well informed with photos and updates. Thank you Hitchin House for making sending my daughter to nursery an actual joy! I'll always be grateful.

We're so happy with the care and attention our daughter receives at Hitchin House. Every single staff member seems to genuinely care about her, which makes having to say goodbye to her every morning a lot easier. She absolutely loves going to nursery and seems to have the best time. It's a really special place and we couldn't be happier with the nursery. We'd highly recommend Hitchin House!

Outstanding nursery, staff, level of care and facilities. My daughter loves going to nursery here. Can't fault the nursery. Only one very minor comment is that drop off/pick up times could be quicker.

The most amazing staff! The whole nursery has been adapted to the needs of our son, both the staff and ensuring the best equipment for learning and playing! There is nothing I could fault them on other than the fact that I wish the age to stay was higher so that he could be there throughout his whole childhood.

Couldn't recommend this nursery enough. From the moment we stepped into the nursery to have a look, we knew instantly that it was the right place for our child - a safe, homely and trusted place for children. The team really helped support our child's settling-in period and now he's thriving. The nursery is great with communication, letting us know well in advance of any issues in the local area, events that are running in the nursery and our child's personal development. There are too many people to thank, but as a whole, thank you for your hard work and support with our child's learning and development - you are great!

Hitchin House is an incredible nursery and we couldn't be happier that our daughter is going here. All of the staff are lovely and so accommodating to your child's individual needs. They are open to suggestions and alternatives to ensure your child is being looked after in a way that suits you and your bubba. The staff and their ability to flex is what really makes them stand out from all other nurseries - they are at the top of their game. Our daughter has developed so much over the last 4 months, she's come out of her shell and built so much confidence and it's so wonderful to see at home. Knowing that she's being well looked after gives us such peace of mind and we're so grateful to the team here at Hitchin House - thank you. Special shoutouts to her key worker managing all of her needs and another lady, who is her little bestie, consistently taking the time to bring her out of her comfort zone! You're all doing an amazing job, thank you so much. Thanks.

Hitchin House has been fantastic for our son. The staff are warm and caring and take the time to tell us what our son has been getting up to. The range of activities provided is wonderful - he is always learning new things and is stimulated and cared for.

Hitchin House is a wonderful nursery, the staff take great care of all the children. We have two children at Hitchin House and they both love it. Staff go above and beyond to meet the children's needs, are friendly and approachable. The facilities and equipment are in excellent condition and constantly updated.

Our son joined Hitchin House almost a year ago after we moved into the area and the whole team were so helpful and made us all feel very welcome from the outset. Our son settled into the Pioneers room very quickly and loved all different aspects of the room, especially the climbing wall, the garden, the Montessori area and the library. Every teacher and staff member we met was kind, helpful and very committed to the children receiving the utmost care. Our son recently started school and we believe his smooth transition into school was definitely helped by the preparation and support we were all offered to Hitchin House. We would highly recommend this nursery and look forward to sending our second child there shortly.

This nursery has been incredible for my child. The amount of activities they offer throughout the day is incredible. From Montessori to yoga and dance and the fact they have a studio within the nursery. I wish I could go to nursery to have so much fun. The workshop space is lovely and the fact the children are encouraged to do self-serving is also something very important t to me. A skill for life. The staff are always incredibly friendly and know the children.

We have had such a wonderful experience at this nursery, not just with our youngest who is currently at Hitchin House, but also with our first son, who also had a fantastic time there from the baby room all the way through to pre-school. From the moment we accepted our space, the staff have welcomed us all as a family, making us feel valued and listened to. Our little boy has food allergies, and the management team went above and beyond to support us, ensuring his needs were fully understood and accommodated. They've been so approachable and friendly, making everything worry-free. The care and attention given by the entire team is amazing, and it's clear they genuinely care about the children and families. We couldn't be happier having our kids at Hitchin House.

As soon as you visit Hitchin House you know it is something special. The facilities are like nothing I've ever seen before despite working in education for 15 years, from the workshop, climbing wall, dance studio, library and garden amongst others it has been so well thought out to be an engaging place for children. There are so many extra activities they provide as part of their daily fee including yoga, dance and sports. It's been inspiring watching my kids develop through their time at Hitchin House teaching them great independence and life skills. The staff are absolutely amazing. They are so positive and you can see they have a real fondness for the children. They give you daily photo updates of what they've been doing which really brighten up your day. I've seen both my children flourish under their care and can't rate the staff highly enough.

My daughter attended Hitchin House from the age of 1 until she started school. She is a happy confident little girl, who has had what feels like a head start in life after her experience at Hitchin House. The staff are fantastic at providing creative activities and caring for the children. The facilities are outstanding and my daughter really enjoyed the workshop, dance classes, yoga, sports, and the climbing wall! I would wholeheartedly recommend the nursery to anyone looking for outstanding care for their child.

Our twin daughters have been at Hitchin House as the first babies when the nursery opened. Sadly they are leaving to start school in September. Our experience of this nursery has been outstanding. The care, love and support is out of this world. My girls run into the nursery and absolutely love being here and will sadly miss everyone and everything this nursery offers. The resources, activities, sports, dance library, construction area, home corner, and workshop to name a few have kept my girls really engaged and they are thriving due to the environment. The staff are all just wonderful loving individuals who have not only cared for our girls they have guided us. Nothing is too much trouble and they have always been available to chat anything through and support us immensely as parents. I couldn't recommend this fabulous nursery enough to any parents.

The best nursery! We are delighted with Hitchin House Day Nursery and don't think we could have found a better place for our son who has loved it since the start. Max joined when he was 11 months old, and is now 31 months old and still loving it. We already have our next one on the waiting list for when they arrive! Huge thanks to the amazing staff and team for going above and beyond, we have never had any concerns and it's lovely to see how excited he is running in in the morning and then telling us about his day. Highly recommended and very grateful we found such a wonderful nursery thank you.

Hitchin House has been a safe haven for us as a family over the past three years. Our son was born bang in the middle of covid, and they made him feel comfortable in what can be an intimidating environment. It was an absolute joy seeing him grow and develop during his time there. He created some incredibly special bonds with key workers and peers along the way. We were always blown away by the facilities and endless activities that were churned out every single day. School has some big shoes to fill. We feel very lucky that we can enjoy it all again now with our daughter now there, who goes in and out with the biggest smile on her face everyday!

I would like to say a big thank you to everyone at Hitchin House. My little one had been to three other nurseries before coming into Hitchin House. Throughout her nursery life, she was always very anxious to the point she would make herself sick. She wasn't eating or sleeping and was constantly wetting herself. Hitchin House was my last hope. From the moment we stepped inside for her first day, I knew as a mother this was where I wanted my child to be. The atmosphere was calm, the children seemed happy, and the staff were happy and engaging with the children. Her key person was amazing when she did her entry assessment. She was calm and gave my little one a lot of attention. All of a sudden my little one agreed to go up for her settle. I held my breath waiting for the tears or for her to be sick, instead, it was all smiles and I also got a little wave. Ever since that day, I knew she was in safe hands. She always was happy when I came to collect her. I could not ask for anything more.

We really appreciate the wide range of activities our child is being engaged in, the daily updates, and the various environments that are available – workshop, garden, theatre, library, climbing wall, Montessori area, dining area where they can enjoy yummy meals cooked from scratch on-site. We are also grateful for the special extras, such as the weekly dance classes, tea parties and Sunday craft clubs. But most importantly, what fills our hearts with gratitude and joy, is seeing that our child thrived so much on all levels since she joined the nursery. And this is thanks to the amazing teachers and staff who are passionate and caring and always open to communicate and provide tailored support, whether that means brightening up a grumpy morning, potty learning or taking the time to speak to a parent on an ad hoc basis. So, whether they are qualified as pre-school or Montessori teachers, or nursery educators, everyone at Hitchin House wears a wizard cloak and we are very grateful for their magic.

Excellent staff that are very attentive. My son can’t wait to run through the door every morning without so much of a ‘bye mum’, which is a testament to how keen he is to spend the day there. He’s been there 8-months now, and we’re very happy with Hitchin House Day Nursery.
27 April 2022
I absolutely love this nursery. Amazing facilities and carers. Both my children are so happy here. The level of care they receive is brilliant. And they're exposed to a range of brilliant activities each day. They love going in and then leave with big smiles on their faces. We couldn't be happier.
