Early childhood educator in Watford

“This school is very nice. The teachers are really approachable and supportive.”

“management and staff are amazing and lovely. They looking to every single child personality and they try their best to act with kids. Kids feeling safe and happy in the classes.”

““Inspiring our children and community to be the very best that they can be!” As a Trustee I feel really privileged and proud to be involved in this journey. “Inclusive” is not only our name but core to everything we do to help our community fulfil the hopes and dreams of our children. Every day our 3 Watford primary schools – Beechfield, Cherry Tree and Laurance Haines work closely together to create great opportunities which inspire our pupils to learn and develop skills to adapt and succeed in our ever changing world. Each school is very much a part of the local community with its own distinct characteristics and curriculum –we don’t believe that one size fits all but a nurturing philosophy underlines everything we do. As part of a group of schools we provide opportunities for our children to participate and share in exciting projects across the schools – whether sporting, outdoors or creative - for example our art display in Watford Museum or the more recent song written and performed to celebrate and thank Covid-19 key workers. Supporting our people to succeed is a core belief and strength – we are lucky to include former pupils among our teaching staff! Working together enables the sharing and development of best practice whilst addressing workload too. Good career progression is available across the Trust schools. “if you want to go fast, go alone.

“Amazing people there.. my 3 children are and have been there .. highly recommend”

“My child started this nursery in the baby room, we really struggled with separating with our daughter but the management team at this nursery made it so easy and comfortable for her, she is now in the pre-school room and has had massive change and improvement in her development. I can’t talk highly enough about their practice and their dedication with helping me personally feel comfortable with leaving my daughter in the hands of others. My daughter has so much love for her teachers and is constantly talking about going back to nursery even on weekends! A huge thankyou to Dilasha and Jessica for their passion and patience in such a demanding profession.”

“Toad Hall Nursery in Watford is beautiful. It has a big garden at the back and a lovely little building for the preschool children. The Management and Nursery team were very welcoming on my visit recently. If you are looking to place your children there or if you are looking for a new job within a nursery, I would highly recommend this one! Well done team Watford”

“It is an outstanding school in our area. The best. My kid has picked up lot of things in his first year in Nursery. Staff are awesome they take special interest and very patient. Good party areas for the kids, pool for seniors. Their socialising calender is good, there is one or other program every month. Be it a cake charity or fund rising by Raffle or summer fair all are fun filled. Mine love to go to school every day.”
