Bluebell Pre School

Not yet inspectedBirth to 5Open a few years

A pre-school in Watford for children from birth to 5, open sessions in term time, often mornings. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Ofsted has not yet published a graded inspection. Open since 2026, with 32 places.

Cost

What you might pay

This setting does not publish its fees, and no national dataset holds them. This is what childcare costs across the council, as a starting point for the call.

What childcare usually costs in Hertfordshire

£7.09an hour, typical for a 2 years old
£7.00an hour, typical for a 3 and 4 years old

This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Hertfordshire from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

What the inspector found

One grade is one visit. A run of them tells you whether it has been good for years or has only just got there.

This setting re-registered. It replaced “Bluebell Pre School” at the same address, which had been registered since 26 May 2022. A change of owner or legal entity gives Ofsted a brand new record, so the inspections below may only cover the time since then.

    What to ask them

    None of this is in any national dataset and this setting has not published it, which is exactly why it is worth asking.

    • What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
    • Can I use my funded hours here? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
    • Is there a place for my child's age? Baby rooms fill first and waiting lists are common.
    • Who would my child's key person be? And how long have the staff been there. No dataset holds this and it matters more than anything above.
    • Can I visit at a busy time? Mid-morning on a weekday tells you far more than an empty room after hours.
