The nursery has been established in Westmill for many years but we re registered with Ofsted in July 2024 and are waiting for our first inspection following our re registration. The best way to see the quality of our care and educational provision, is by coming along to see us, so you can see for yourself what we can offer your child.  Please contact us on 01763 273005 or email us to arrange a suitable date and time.
You can also complete this enquiry form and we will get back to you as soon as we can.

Our sessions are currently full but we are accepting registrations for children to start from September 2026.
Contact us now to join our waiting list for a place from September 2026. We will ask parents to complete a registration form and pay registration fee and a deposit. Once we have received these we will write to you to confirm we have placed your child on our waiting list. 
​
We usually have two intakes per year, September and January, dependant on availability. Places will be offered for these intakes in April (for September) and late October (for January). All places are subject to availability and so a place on our waiting list does not guarantee a space. If we are unfortunately unable to offer your child a place you will be given the choice of either remaining on our waiting list for the next intake or to leave the waiting list.
We aim to make your child's transition from home to nursery as smooth as possible and have put together some helpful advice for parents which is included in your child's new starter pack. We offer parents at least two settling-in sessions prior to their child's first day.  If you or the Nursery Manager think that your child will need more than this, then we will be happy to accommodate this until both you and your child are happy. The purpose of settling-in sessions is to allow both you and your child to become familiar with the new surroundings and staff.  Your child's Keyperson will also go through a Settling-in plan with you, this allows us to gather important detailed information about your child to assist in a smooth transition.

If your child is 3 they will be eligible for universal 15 hours Childcare support entitlement the term after their 3rd birthday. (All 4 year olds receive this funding). We are also registered with Herts County Council enabling children to receive up to 24 funded hours a week, for eligible working families for 2, 3 and 4 year olds (subject to session availability). A voluntary consumable charge is applicable to funded places to cover the cost of food (50p per session), non food items including nappies, wipes, sun cream (£3.00 per week), and additional services and activities (£3.00 per week), all which the Government funding doesn’t cover. Additional/unfunded hours are charged at £8.50 per hour (Our unfunded, 4 hour morning session fee is £34.00). All fees are due within the first week of each half term. We will issue you with an invoice before the end of the previous half term to let you know the amount payable.  At least half a terms written notice is required should you wish your child to leave or reduce sessions.  If this is not given then one months fees in lieu of notice is required - this is applicable to all children.
