Good★ 4.8 on GoogleBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Rickmansworth for children from birth to 8+, open 07:00 to 19:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in June 2022. Open since 2014, with 100 places.
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
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 it is like to attend
Children settle quickly into the welcoming nursery. They behave well and follow staff's guidance and instructions. Children receive support, when needed, to share and take turns. They benefit from activities that are relevant to their own experiences. For instance, toddlers wash baby dolls, which staff have provided due to the number of new siblings in the toddler room.
Children enjoy messy play activities. Younger children focus well as they explore the sand tray, eagerly moving towards this once staff have set it up. Toddlers laugh with delight as they clap their hands together after covering them in bubbles.
They watch with interest as the bubbles fly into the air. Children develop their hand-to-eye coordination as they participate in creative activities. They concentrate as they control the pencils to make marks. They talk to visiting adults about what they are drawing, confidently sharing their knowledge about the colours that they use.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- consider ways to adapt daily routines so that staff can maximise their interactions with children n develop the planning and delivery of outdoor activities even further so that children can make the most of their learning opportunities outdoors.

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.
