Nursery care in berkhamsted/hemel

[newmumK]

Can anyone recommend a good nursery in berkhamsted/hemel area. I'm going to have to go back to work full time . My baby daughter will be 9 months old so I want a caring as well as good educational environment. We will consider using childminder if anyone can recommend good one - but will need to be full time.

I visited this nursery and it looked lovely

However I decided against it because it was too far from my house.

My son went to Bees Knees Day nursery, which is really cheap and a good nursery. It is in a purpose built building. The only problem is that getting a place is next to impossible.

St Nicholas Day nursery is lovely and dd is very happy there. It is very play based though. The children learn through play rather than doing formal learning, Unlike many nurseries they do not have any TV. They have a nice garden.

I have heard good things about "Jack and Jill" Day nursery on the Hemel industrial estate and "Lime Grove Day nursery" near the sports centre.

I sent my son to Cherry Tree Day nursery and I hated it. My son was not happy there.

You really need to visit various nurseries and see how you feel.
