Libraries in Watford

“Our three year old son attended the Watford Boys and Girls Nursery over summer of 2020 while we temporarily stayed in Watford and we had a great experience. The staff was very accommodating and caring. They were very kind with our son, who is a bit shy and introverted and they helped him with his lunches (he is also a very picky eater). They quickly discovered his favourite games and made sure to have them handy for him. We felt very happy with the service provided, especially with their warmth and attention to his personality as well as their general flexibility and responsiveness, and we would strongly recommend this nursery!”

“Always a lovely place to visit, to treat my son to cake and a babychino or sit and read with a coffee. Absolutely love the lemon drizzle slice. My son and I both miss the pink lemonade cake. That was AH-MAAAZING!”

“It's a great new school, top teaching quality and highly recommanded. My daughter has been enjoying learning in the school.”

““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.

“It's a wonderful school for children who need God's guidance.”

“Showed us examples of his work and talked through different options”

“Very good school for children in need of help so that they can open themselves to the difficulties of life.”

“2020 was such a mess but I am so happy with the way the grove Academy handled the situation. Thank you so all teachers and staff members at the school”

“Fab school! Superb teachers and support staff, polite and courteous students and a great headteacher with a passionate vision for the school”

“I went here years ago as a kid and honestly? I'm super glad I went here. My secondary school experience was horrible and I barely learnt anything, but thanks to this school I had a base knowledge and understanding on how to deal with certain things. The students in my class were lovely too (from my memory) and the teachers were really good at their job. I know if I went to another primary school my experiences that I had would have been drastically different so I'm seriously grateful that the staff that worked here did such a great job. From my memory they also had a good choice of after-school clubs and my sister (who also went here) was in one of them. I'm doing a Level 3 Diploma now in college and I feel like I owe this school a thank you and I don't know how else to do that other than write a review. So thank you! I'd imagine the school has changed a lot since I've been here (since it was around 6-5ish years ago) but I'd also assume that it's still the same in a weird way. I recommend sending your children here, I really do.”

“1 on 1 teaching superb, the best, David goes in thoroughly through the teaching, when you don’t understand something he takes the time to stop and go through with you giving lots of different examples to go through until you’ve understood it, marks your work and outlines your mistakes so that you don’t do it the second time around, best price £12 and hour got et any better than that, other places on average is between £40-50, if you really want your moneys worth you’ll come here!”

“Small nursery with very caring , friendly staff. Amazing outdoor space.”
