Potten End Day Nursery and Preschool

"All staff around the nursery are fantastic and very friendly. My baby is always so happy to go in to his key person and other staff members in the room. They provide great activities and new opportunities for him to explore. The nursery has great outside space for all rooms and can be outside a lot."
(Hannah, Parent - daynurseries.co.uk)

A beautiful setting to help your child flourish

At Potten End Day Nursery and Preschool, your little one will spend happy days making new discoveries and learning key skills. Our Ofsted Good rated nursery in Hemel Hempstead is set in the beautiful countryside, where our team of dedicated staff provides the best care for children aged 3 months to 5 years.

Resources and Rooms for All Ages

With spacious rooms for every age group, your child will enjoy resources and activities designed to encourage development and independence, preparing them for their next steps.

Each room has different areas for creative play, messy play and imagination time, with cosy nooks for reading, and so much more.

Sleep routines from home are supported in our calming sleep room, so you can be assured that your little one gets the rest they need.

Our Active Athletes room is used for sports and fun games, giving your child plenty of opportunities to run around and have fun with friends.

A Bright Beginning for Every Child

Designed by our Early Years specialists, your little one will get the best start to their schooling life through our enriching and wellbeing-focused Bright Beginnings Curriculum.

Building on the foundations of the government's EYFS curriculum, it combines a wide range of activities to nurture and develop the skills your child needs to flourish and reach their full potential. This holistic yet personal approach supports each child's wellbeing, development, and progress- whether that's moving rooms or preparing them for school.

The Curriculum is complemented by our Ready for School Programme, which supports the development of key academic and life skills so children can continue their learning journey with confidence.

Children also enjoy Boogie Mites music sessions where they can learn about the world through music and song.

You can stay updated with your child's day through our Bright Horizons Family app.

Set in the Countryside

We're set in the beautiful Hertfordshire countryside, and we always make the most of our rural surroundings to enhance your child's time with us.

Your little one will love joining in with nursery picnics, discovering creepy crawlies during our woodland walks, planting fruit and vegetables, and even watching chicks hatching.

Fee Calculator

Our calculator enables you to estimate your basic fees BEFORE childcare funding is applied. We’ve taken this approach as funding is dependent on your own very individual situation, how old your child is, where you live, whether you’re working and so on.

Our comprehensive funding guides provide guidance on what funding you’re likely to be eligible for, we can send this to you after you’ve estimated your fees.

When you visit us, we can also help you understand your options and work out what your net fees will be after any childcare funding is taken into account.
