    The team are outstanding – incredibly expert and attentive and build excellent connections with the kids. They go the extra mile to help kids develop and aim to be flexible to their needs.

    The rooms are consistently very welcoming with lots of rotating activities and kids are encouraged to be independent in choosing what to playtime with as well as for self-care. The garden is definitely a bonus, a lovely area which is well maintained and has lots to do. The food is healthy, varied and well-balanced. Would highly suggest Lime Grove – the team feels like extended family and it will be a sad day when my youngest leaves. My two kids have attended Lime Grove since they were one year old, and we’ve had a remarkable journey throughout.

    Team are incredibly inviting and everyone consistently seemed to know our kid by name, even if they didn’t work in the actual room. Over the course of our two years attending Lime Grove, our kid really learned a lot: in only two sessions a week, he developed abilities in basic numeracy and literacy, frequently coming home with new knowledge that we had never expected him to have already acquired. Snacks and meals consistently seemed balanced and nutritious (and to his liking).
    Only one small suggestion for improvement would be to dampen the ambient noise levels in the rooms (mainly Butterflies) with acoustic absorbing panels or something similar. The noise levels in there consistently seemed high whenever I went in, and I think it would contribute to a calmer setting for the kids if something were done to remedy this. An outstanding, welcoming and attentive setting for young kids to grow and develop.

    Now at the age of three, she is in her fourth and final room at Lime Grove, pre-school! I do not think she’d be the compassionate-hearted, outgoing and funny girl that she is if it had not been for her time at Lime Grove. All the team have been remarkable, both the ladies in the rooms and those at the front desk and kitchen. I could not have been happier with my choice to send my daughter to Lime Grove and I will be sad when it is time for her to leave. My daughter has attended Lime Grove since September 2020 when she was ten months old.

    The childcare centre doesn’t just tick boxes, their care and attention to detail in all areas is exemplary. During some of the most stressful times, our daughter was so well supported by all team but especially her key workers who particularly are still very much remembered by all of us. The setting was lovely and I never worried about dropping our daughter off, even on those tricky mornings. In pre-school, we felt our daughter was allowed to delight in herself thoroughly with plenty of playtime, but she was also very well prepared for starting school through time spent sitting at tables and on the carpet and starting simple phonics and maths. The kids were supported in making strong friendships and these have carried on, despite friends attending different schools.

    I have and will continue to suggest Lime Grove to friends with kids. Our daughter attended Lime Grove from age 2-4 and we have nothing but positive things to say from our time there.

    From day one they have been compassionate, supportive and reassuring. Our daughter is thriving there she really loves the carers and has got so much out of the daily activities – from painting, water/ice playtime, sandpits and story time! I’ve loved how much interaction the babies get. I have been super impressed by the team and services at Lime Grove.

    All the team are welcoming and attentive, while each Key Person our son has had invests so much time and effort in his development. It is clear that the team tailor their approach to each kid’s need and rate of discovering and our son is thriving in this setting. The facilities are remarkable and the garden is such a excellent space, while the food is varied and healthy. As parents, we sense the updates is outstanding and we have been given ideas and guides on how to help our boy develop certain areas he is struggling with. In other aspects where he is excelling, the team make a conscious effort to challenge him and get the most out of his day. He’s formed such a close bond with his Key People and the feedback we get on a daily basis is detailed and informative. It’s clear that everyone who works at Lime Grove has a real passion for what they do and this transmits to the kids and parents. Our son has been at Lime Grove Day Childcare centre (Hemel Hempstead) for over a year now and we can’t rate it highly enough.

    He is now 2.5. Remarkable journey overall. The team are so so attentive and excellent at keeping you up to date with what hes doing each week. The food he is given is excellent variety and consistently trying new things. His ladybird and bumblebee key person have consistently been incredible. Grateful for all the assistance they give him and helping him develop – huge thank you. My son has been attending this childcare centre since he was 9 months.

    I’m very cheerful with her key worker and the room manager and generally everyone in her room. The childcare centre team are easy to talk to about any concerns, provide daily detailed feedback and make appropriate adjustments where needed on suggestions. The childcare centre has definitely had a positive influence on my little ones’ overall development and well-being. My little one has been at Limegrove Childcare centre since she was two years old and is now in the preschool room.

    She recently went up to Pre-school this year and I can’t credit the team enough for her development, she is discovering something new each week and if there are areas she needs more work on, they invest time in doing this. Thank you Lime Grove! My daughter has been at Lime Grove Day Childcare centre since she was 7 months old, I have consistently found the team very attentive, attentive and focused.

    You really sense like family. Everyone is so compassionate, attentive and welcoming, and you sense part of something very special. Lime Grove has been an incredible assistance for our family. We have had a remarkable journey for both of our kids. Every member of team does such an incredible job and consistently goes above and beyond. Both of our kids have been very settled here, and we will miss it very much. The setting is full of lots of exciting toys, lots of lovely space for the kids to playtime, and team that really adore and engage with the kids. The team plan exciting activities to really develop the kids and assistance their discovering. The food provided is fresh, healthy and nutritious. Our kids have thrived here, and we are so grateful Lime Grove has given them a head start in life. What an incredible journey it has been. Thank you all! Wow, Lime Grove is a unique place.

    Our son is consistently cheerful to go to childcare centre. In the beginning, it was difficult for our boy to get used to it because he only knew his mum and dad, but the team made a fantastic job with him. I can’t explain how cheerful I am when I see his face (of true happiness) when I pick him up. I think it is the best childcare centre I could have chosen. Marvellous team.

    The team in both rooms are exceptional. My girls adore the childcare centre. Overall, they offer the best care and attention a parent could wish for and I cannot suggest them enough.
    My eldest had a severe speech delay before starting at Lime Grove Day Childcare centre. After nearly a year, her language soared and she’s caught up with her peers.
    The family inclusive activities are exceptional, such as Mother’s Day tea, Grandparent’s Day and other stay and plays. Kids also get the opportunity for external experiences, such as seeing police officers/cars and the fire engine.
    The planned activities are age appropriate and encourage kids to be independent with day to day activities.
    Their app keeps parents updated with photos and milestones. Parent’s evenings are informative and a great chance to discuss development with your kid’s key person. They have also been outstanding when transitioning from nappies to the potty. Both of my kids currently attend Lime Grove Day Childcare centre (Caterpillars and Bumblebees).

    We have had one or both kids in attendance here over the last five years and consistently had a excellent journey. The teams are focused and welcoming and the activities and use of outdoor space is remarkable.
    As my daughter prepares to leave to start school in September I know as a family we will miss the security that Lime Grove and the fantastic team here offer, the activities and the sense of enjoyable. Worth every effort to drive from the next village to attend Lime Grove, so very glad to of found this childcare centre in such a lovely setting. Thank you to team Lime Grove! My kids have been fortunate to attend Lime Grove Day Childcare centre and began in the baby room right through to Pre-school.

    The improvements in his fine motor skills as well as his eating has been incredible. He comes home every evening absolutely shattered and loves going in the morning. Lime Grove has been a excellent journey for our little boy.

    There were a few teething issues but overall I found Lime Grove to be a very great all-round childcare centre provision for my daughter. They have outstanding updates, the educators are very welcoming and although they have struggled with staffing (like most nurseries) I never got the impression that my kid was negatively affected.
    care you get for your kid. My daughter has been going to Lime Grove since she was about two and a half years old.

    All team I meet are polite and consistently say hello.

    My kid is in bumblebee class and he loves going to childcare centre, the team are attentive, cheerful and upbeat and all the kids are consistently busy playing or doing actives when I go in there.

    Overall I am extremely cheerful with the service and care provided, i would suggest the childcare centre to any new parent looking to send their kid to childcare centre. Limegrove is a remarkable childcare centre.

    We can’t really fault the place. Both my daughters have consistently been very excited to go in and see their friends and key workers. Remarkable welcoming and knowledgable team.
    Excellent indoor and outdoor playtime and education areas.
    I have my second kid now going through Lime Grove.

    Being able to have so much time in the garden is a huge benefit of Lime Grove. Our two boys have settled very well at Lime Grove Day Childcare centre thanks to their key workers and other team that have made them sense welcome and secure.

    The team are incredible, so welcoming and all my sons key workers have supported him at each stage of his Lime Grove journey. The facilities are incredible, especially the outside space. I would suggest Lime Grove to any parent looking for childcare for their kid. My son has been at Lime Grove Day Childcare centre for 2 years now, he started in the baby room and is currently in Bumblebees, since day one our journey has been nothing but positive.
