“At was my school last year at I miss all my best teaches Karim”

“Such a lovely fitted t-shirt with an even stronger message behind it! Lauren communicated well and the t-shirt was delivered within the time scale. 100% recommend!”

“The most wonderful nursery setting. My daughter has absolutely thrived there and the staff are all marvellous. Couldn’t ask for better. 10/10”

““Inspiring our children and community to be the very best that they can be!” As a Trustee I feel really privileged and proud to be involved in this journey. “Inclusive” is not only our name but core to everything we do to help our community fulfil the hopes and dreams of our children. Every day our 3 Watford primary schools – Beechfield, Cherry Tree and Laurance Haines work closely together to create great opportunities which inspire our pupils to learn and develop skills to adapt and succeed in our ever changing world. Each school is very much a part of the local community with its own distinct characteristics and curriculum –we don’t believe that one size fits all but a nurturing philosophy underlines everything we do. As part of a group of schools we provide opportunities for our children to participate and share in exciting projects across the schools – whether sporting, outdoors or creative - for example our art display in Watford Museum or the more recent song written and performed to celebrate and thank Covid-19 key workers. Supporting our people to succeed is a core belief and strength – we are lucky to include former pupils among our teaching staff! Working together enables the sharing and development of best practice whilst addressing workload too. Good career progression is available across the Trust schools. “if you want to go fast, go alone.

“Our daughter went to Little School on the Green and we found it wonderful. I don't think we could have found a more caring friendly setting for our toddler. Highly recommended.”

“This school has such a special place in my (and my children’s) heart. The attentiveness, kindness and care of all the teachers/staff is unmatched. I love that they put heart into making the environment warm and homey; and it has a great garden space too. They truly care about getting to know your child and they care about you as a parent as well. The school has a beautiful parent & child group where my child and I met many friends. It also has a wonderful, tight-knit community within the school. They even offer parent workshops from time to time that really make us parents feel supported through different phases of our kids life. I have so much more to say but I’ll leave with this being said: the greatest gift you can give to your child is to let their imagination be encouraged and nurtured in a safe environment - and this school is it.”

“My son loves Nursery Room. He was around 18 months when he started but he has grown fond of the environment and the staffs very quickly. Everyone is very friendly and they are also very accommodating to your needs too. Perfect setting for us on the way to Eastcote Primary Academy.”

“I have two children at this school, one in Yr. 2 and the other just started Reception having attended the Nursery. Both of them throughly enjoy attending and learning in this environment and it constantly amazes me just how varied their knowledge has become. From day one (2years ago) when there were only 43 4 year olds, to this day of over 250 pupils, there has been a consistent and tenacious focus on delivering the best learning for all of its pupils. The leadership team are warm and welcoming, making themselves highly visible at the school gate and always willing to listen to parents' views or offer advice. They have set out a strong set of values and life skills which are positively reinforced across the school in a consistent way from class teacher to whole assembly. For some of these traits the children are asked to behave like a particular ' Learnasaur ' character such as the Tryasaurus who is always willing to try new things or a Sharadactyl who shares their learning resources. Both my kids have really engaged with this type of encouragement and it is commonplace to hear us talking about them at home. All the staff that have been recruited display a huge passion for delivering the best experience for the children, whether they're dinner ladies, site managers or have office roles. The teaching staff are great and display the same understated professionalism day in day out, they have embraced the opportunity this new school presents and are working well together to deliver a first class education. Mr Butler's musical influences have shown themselves many times over the last couple of years during assemblies and Nativity plays. My personal highlight was last years Year 1 performance which involved the whole year group, lasted over 40 mins and was incredible to watch, it was hard to believe we were watching 6 year olds as the performance level and engagement across the whole group was so strong and mature. Other highlights from last year included the children asking Boris Johnson some tough questions when he visited the school and the Pupils performing their 'Big Dance' at the summer fayre.”

“We took our child for a year and it was such great place for learning.”

“Lovely little school.My daughter loves it here”

“My little girl has settled in really well here… thanks to the team of amazing teachers here. I was looking for somewhere that offered a balance of fun, play and learning and the way Jo and her team have blended all those components together is nothing less than incredible. Another factor was the menu to Enid’s eat… I’m a health coach and the meals are curated by a child nutritionist and Delilah is eating food that I have tried to implement but without little success … she happily eats sweet and sour chicken, Mexican stew, roast turkey and even salmon and mascarpone pasta! Also the behaviour that I expect from my little one is instilled here to, table manners, kindness, speaking vs shouting have all helped Delilah (a blended little girl of Italian /Irish heritage) getting her behaviour on point. I couldn’t be happier and I’m confident that Delilah’s transition to reception will be seamless thanks to all the preparation that she would have taken”

“A nice little school. It is academically strong and the boys seem happy overall. It does need some cosmetic improvements and modernising though.”

“Sunnah is a great Yoga teacher!”

“At Dulwich Wood Nursery School, you will find a brilliant team of highly qualified staff, who care deeply about children and really understand how young children learn. They have fantastic outdoor facilities, and always have an array of activities to support children to deepen their understanding, while really nurturing their emotional and social development. I moved my child from a private nursery to Dulwich Wood and I was so pleasantly surprised by how much better the provision was at Dulwich Wood. The space is amazing, the children feel at home in the nursery community and it is a well planned, purposeful learning environment. Children are supported to follow their interests in their learning, with support from qualified educators. My child felt loved, accepted and learned so much here. Can't recommend it enough.”

“Visited this new nursery on an open day recently & was really impressed with it - the staff were extremely helpful, the space was well designed for children to learn and the garden was ideal for playtime! Very well situated near town centre & station - ideal all around!”

“Very good nursery Very professional and nice to the children Highly recommended A mum”

“Amazing and loving staff.They have been great with my son.I will be always thankful to them.”

“Ive been Master Lui's student for several months now and each week I look forward to attending his classes. There are drills to improve fitness and technique, and he has a high standard when teaching patterns. And the best thing is that although he has many students, he always seems to find time for everyone.”

“My 6 year old son really enjoys his Tae Kwon Do lessons . Coach Niresh is a great teacher . He is very Patient with his pupils and really wants the kids to learn and enjoy the sport as much as he clearly does . I would definitely recommend these classes .”

“I highly recommend it to any parent wanting to start their kids on a Martial arts path! Excellent place with amazing staff. My son loves and very much excited to go for his next lesson. It’s great seeing what they are achieving in each session.”
