Physical development in Watford

“I didnt know the teachers had such interesting names. Like Karen Dog.”

“I’ve had conversations on the phone and in person with a number of different staff since my daughter has started full time in Nov 2024. I have been really impressed with them all and the quality of communication I’ve received. It’s always so hard leaving your baby with strangers and I speak from experience of 3 different well-established nurseries (2 of which were rated Outstanding by Ofsted) that my elder child had been at. The experience so far with Boys & Girls Croxley has been really good. The updates via the Blossom app are prompt throughout the day helping me keep up with my daughter’s experience and reassuring me about her wellbeing. The photos and well thought-out daily activities cover a real breadth of topics and developmental opportunities and I’m seeing the positive changes in her as a result. When she has been unfortunate enough to have little accidents or difficulty falling asleep or being upset, the staff have kept me informed and personalised their response to her by calling and making me aware of all the things they have tried and asking if there is anything else they might be able to do to help her feel more comfortable. She has settled in really well and I would highly recommend this nursery to Others based on my experience so far.”

“A friend suggested to come to train, I tried a few sessions and fell in love with the community I was training with. The teachers were very helpful and showed me ways I can improve my body and martial art skills, if you had to choose a place to train, I’d train with these people.”

“My daughter attends The Dan Tien and thoroughly enjoys the chance to learn new skills, make friends and grow in confidence. In a world where there can be so much pressure on young people, it's great to be able to send her to such a warm and creative environment. Great for physical and emotional health. Teachers are awesome. High standard of performance all round”

“I could not recommend Tinkys nursery more! My daughter has been attending since age 1 and almost 3 now . From social development to academic development, my daughter has made excellent progress in her learning and social skills . Their attention to detail is next to none and they really do keep track of all activities/events each day to report to you on email and collection of your child. The freshly made nutritious meals are just another bonus. The staff are warm, friendly and approachable and my daughter is happy to see them when I drop her off and I know that she’s had a good day when I collect her as she chats about what she’s been up to. She has thrived since starting Tinkys and made special bonds with her peers and care givers . I feel confident leaving her with the lovely team knowing that she’ll have a great day and will be well cared for and treated as an individual.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five Stars It was my first time visiting Softplay with my 15-month-old, and I was pleasantly surprised! The area was spacious, clean, and not overcrowded at all. I loved that they had separate sections for different age groups — including a special area just for little ones up to 18 months. Everything was well supervised. One of the staff members was especially attentive, always making sure the older kids didn’t wander into the baby area and that everyone followed the rules. It made the experience feel very safe and respectful for everyone. The whole place was spotless, the vibe was great, and even the food was good! I also really appreciated that we didn’t need to pre-book — we just walked in, and for the whole family, it was only £11.50 for a two-hour slot, which is amazing value. Overall, it was a wonderful experience — clean, well-organized, and welcoming. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!”

“Gymboree has helped a lot in improving my son’s social skill, and he enjoys so much in playing with the staff and other kids. I really appreciate their efforts in providing a good chance for children to learn and play. I have recommended Gymboree to my friends who also have kids and looking for a place to play. The time my son playing in Gymboree is undoubtedly the happiest time after we moved to this area.”

“This is the best because my son has a great time.”

“Excellent nursery both my son and daughter attended this nursery. Great staff and very helpful and welcoming management team that always greets us with a smile.Brilliantly friendly and committed staff. Lots of engaging activities for the children. A perfect nursery choice for my son. Love Thank you very much.”

“I had the pleasure to see the HIT perform at a local awards ceremony, and they were a joy to watch. Thoroughly entertaining, well choreographed and kept the audience engaged!”

“My daughter started in this nursery when she was 12 months old in the baby room, and since then she developed in such a nice Way! She learned a lot of staff and every week she is coming with something new. The staff is really nice and supportive with the kids . My one is really enjoying the nursery! Thank you the amazing team that you are allowing my baby girl to Shine like a Little star every day!”

“Highly passionate, motivated, friendly fun-loving and enthusiastic teachers. We look forward to the classes every week.”

“I did the Fundamentals and then moved on to do my MA with the Institute of Psychosynthesis, London. This has been my most life altering experience and i hope all those searching for more and meaning to life should give themselves this gift. It is a deeply evoking and moving experience. I have learnt what it means to come home to myself through a long journey with my tutors, facilitators and cohort members. They have A class facilitators who have 3 - 4 decades of experience in this field. So you will be in good hands. Good luck for those choosing to undertake this journey. See you on the other side.”

“Very good nursery I put my daughter for 3 years she loved the place good support staff and manger are good ,zahoa she good listening I recommend to families”

“best school ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1”

“Very nice school. Staff is the best. My daughter is very happy.”

“An outstanding support centre lead by a totally committed head that changes the lives of the young people referred to it.”

“You can have help if your children has any disability including adhd and autism.”

“Great school my granddaughter is very happy.”

“I went here years ago as a kid and honestly? I'm super glad I went here. My secondary school experience was horrible and I barely learnt anything, but thanks to this school I had a base knowledge and understanding on how to deal with certain things. The students in my class were lovely too (from my memory) and the teachers were really good at their job. I know if I went to another primary school my experiences that I had would have been drastically different so I'm seriously grateful that the staff that worked here did such a great job. From my memory they also had a good choice of after-school clubs and my sister (who also went here) was in one of them. I'm doing a Level 3 Diploma now in college and I feel like I owe this school a thank you and I don't know how else to do that other than write a review. So thank you! I'd imagine the school has changed a lot since I've been here (since it was around 6-5ish years ago) but I'd also assume that it's still the same in a weird way. I recommend sending your children here, I really do.”

“Kids are happy in the nursery. Staff are friendly, food is good, a lot of activities to help kids learn and develop, regular updates of day to day routine.”
