Grasshoppers Day Nursery (St Albans)

We’ve been incredibly happy with Grasshoppers since our daughter has been going. The staff are warm and friendly and I feel they take very good care of her. She learns so much and I am always impressed with how much the nursery does for charity and how engaged I feel as a parent with my child’s care there. I can’t recommend them enough.

Our child attended Grasshoppers Day Nursery (St Albans) for two and half years and we think this had a very positive impact to his growing up. The facilities have recently been renovated with brand new learning equipment installed, while the size of outdoor space was good. We also noticed that all members of staff were knowledgeable, skilled, patient, kind and helpful. The school was really organised and this was very much proven by the way they handled Covid-19 restrictions and lockdown’s. We were really happy that our child always found time at school interesting besides the very long hours, with members of staff able to fill the daily routine with plenty of activities such as role playing, yoga, music and mandarin language lessons that contributed to his learning skills.

I’m pleased with the progression my son has made whilst attending Grasshoppers Day Nursery (St Albans). The support my son receives from the nursery is great, they always go above and beyond to make sure he is on track with his learning.

The nursery has been excellent throughout the time our children have attended.
The management and staff are all brilliant; engaged and invested in the individual characters of the children and celebrate their individuality. There has also been a lot of continuity in management and staff.
Communication has always been very good and our children come home every day having had a great time! We (as parents) have been well supported by Grasshoppers Day Nursery who have been flexible with childcare when needed and have also taken time to discuss or observe and feedback on the odd language or behavioural concern we’ve had.
Overall can’t thank Grasshoppers enough for everything they’ve done for us and our children

My daughter has been at the nursery for six months and absolutely loves it. She’s developed so much and look forward to her continuing to do so. The staff are all friendly and happy to help, they go above and beyond to ensure that they provide activities and books etc. that my daughter is interested in. Would definitely recommend it to prospective parents.

Lovely nursery with very caring staff. Well structured around letting children explore and play with a range of toys. Staff is flexible and very accommodating with special requests (e.g. diet etc). Good size outdoor play area and well resourced.

I highly, highly recommend Grasshoppers Day Nursery (St Albans). They were very supportive for the two years that my daughter was there. She absolutely loved it and made some amazing friends there. We were always happy about her nutrition, despite having allergies, and always felt like she was supported by the staff. Her key worker I couldn’t praise more, she really helped my daughter feel at home and was very warm and friendly. We were sorry to say goodbye to all the staff when she moved on to reception. We started in another nursery and made the difficult decision to move her because we weren’t happy. So we have seen both sides and were glad to have found grasshoppers.

I have a child who is two years and nine months, she is in the preschool room, and the staff are all welcoming in the morning, and I know she will be happy when leaving her, even if she gets upset as I leave, they will contact me to let me know that she has calmed down. She is always happy at the end of the day when I pick her up and will tell me about the things that she had done.

Our daughter has been attending the Grasshoppers Day Nursery (St Albans) since November 2022 and our experience has been extremely positive. Settling was made easy thanks to the amazing, caring staff in the Bumblebees room and I cannot thank them enough. They took the time to learn about my child’s preferences, routines and even some words in Portuguese (our second language) to better understand and communicate with her. They go above and beyond every day and as parents, we feel we couldn’t have chosen a better nursery for our child. The facilities are spacious, clean, bright and well-maintained. The space outside is huge and there are loads of activities. The curriculum is well-designed, creative, age-appropriate and stimulating – I love seeing the pictures of my daughter playing and learning in the app. Also, the staff is always available to answer my questions and keep me informed about my child’s progress and new learnings. I highly recommend the St Albans Grasshoppers Nursery to any parents.

Absolutely fantastic nursery, staff go above and beyond, communication has been excellent and we get regular updates on the app, with pictures and learning stories throughout the week. They are constantly looking at ways to improve and having just gone in today my daughter noticed the room had been moved around. Activities are well thought out and my daughters enjoyed the visit from the fire engine recently. I would highly recommend this nursery.
