Hartford Old School House Day Nursery

All of our three children have attended Hartford Old School House Nursery, most recently our son, who moves up to school this September. The nursery has always and still continues to feel like a home from home for the children – a very caring and welcoming environment where the staff feel like an extension of the family. Although we looked at different nurseries each time for our children, we were always drawn back to Hartford Old School. We feel it has given our children a fantastic grounding for their further education, as well as instilling good values and strong friendships.
Our older children still enjoy visiting, and the staff always welcome them with open arms, and I believe that is what makes this nursery so special.

All three of our children have been at Hartford Old School House Day Nursery and they have all loved it. From the moment we stepped in we knew it was right for us and the staff genuinely love what they do.
Even now two of our kids are in school they still love seeing the staff and saying hi!
The facilities, care and extra activities are all brilliant and it shows by how much my son loves his days at nursery.

My son has been going to Hartford Old School House Day Nursery for the last 6 months, and absolutely loves it! The nursery set up a different range of activities each day, all with the aim and focus of developing different skill sets. My son suffers with his hearing due to ear infections and the nursery have gone out of their way to support him with different methods of communication to ensure that his communication doesn’t fall behind. We get regular updates and pictures via the app which we love as it allows us to see what he’s up to during the day. The nursery do loads of lovely things around special events, such as a garden party with the children for the King’s Coronation recently. All the staff are so lovely and welcoming, and the variety of food on offer each day is amazing and all cooked from scratch! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Hartford Old School House to any other parents. I’m so happy we found it for our boy!

Both of my children have attended this nursery, preschool and wrap around care. The staff are what makes this nursery so fantastic. They all work together to provide a friendly and happy environment for the children. They are always developing and improving the facilities and the activities on offer to the children. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.

Both my children have attended the nursery.
One currently is still there and will be moving up to the preschool room.
The nursery has been excellent in supporting both children through transitions and through their learning.
Both me and my partner love that the nursery use a child-led approach.
The food always smells amazing!
Also, the management is very approachable should we have any questions.

Excellent. My little girl loves nursery. It has such a lovely family feel, every staff member knows us when we drop off and pick up. The updates throughout the day are brilliant, really puts our minds at ease.

Our daughter attended Hartford Old School House Nursery between the age of 9 months and 4 years (she is in her final few weeks now until big school time!).
We simply couldn’t recommend the Old School House Nursery more.
The staff are beyond kind and they do absolutely everything in the best interest of the children.
It has been a safe, fun, nurturing and most importantly caring environment for our daughter.
Whenever we have had any concerns about our daughter’s welfare, the staff have always listened to us, no matter how trivial it might have seemed.
The staff always go the extra mile to provide an amazing experience for the children such as trips to the forest, the park and bringing outside activities in such as football and dance.
The food is brilliant, so healthy, they managed to get our daughter to eat things she never would at home!
We couldn’t have asked for a better start in life for our daughter and we will be forever grateful to the staff and management.

Excellent nursery, my daughters absolutely love their nursery days. I particularly like that a lot of the events, eg Christmas party are at the end of the nursery day so working parents don’t miss out.

Hartford Old School Day Nursery are all around amazing!
I have a daughter who has a chronic medical condition, not only did this nursery welcome us with open arms they rapidly put into motion how they could best adapt the area, train the staff and accommodate my daughter’s delayed development. The manager is so sympathetic to our situation and very quickly put us at ease. With previous experience of trying to put my daughter in a similar setting not going so well – people being afraid, people not willing to help or even try. The manager did the complete opposite and said “ we have to help” I was nearly in tears.
My daughter has many appointments and lots of struggles and all of the staff have understood this and taken it in their stride to help her develop.
In my opinion, this setting is truly exceptional and I’m so grateful my daughter is able to flourish and develop in a safe and playful environment.

My son started here in April, going one day a week. He can be very shy, so I was worried about how he’d settle in. One member of staff in particular has been absolutely amazing with him though, and he’s growing in confidence each week. I can see how much more confident he is around other people outside nursery now too. It’s done him so much good.
