About this day nursery

Boys & Girls Nursery, established over 15 years ago, operates as a private nursery group across South Hertfordshire and North London, catering to children from 3 months to 5 years old. Now part of the Happy Days Nurseries & Pre-Schools group, the nursery benefits from over three decades of expert experience in early childhood education.

Their primary mission is to cultivate strong and motivated learners by providing an environment where children are cherished and receive the highest standard of care, enabling parents to manage their daily lives with peace of mind. The nursery prides itself on its extended operating hours, modern learning facilities, all-weather outdoor gardens, and a bespoke curriculum designed to foster both individual growth and school readiness.

They emphasise a holistic approach to childcare, focusing on nutrition, health, and well-being, while maintaining a highly qualified and long-standing team. The nursery also prioritises strong parent partnerships and ensures a secure environment through CCTV surveillance.

They offer a range of all-inclusive activities and a dedicated "SchoolReady Programme" to prepare children for their next educational steps, alongside a curriculum based on learning through play and the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework.

Tomorrow is our son’s last day at Boys and Girls Nursery Stanmore, and we honestly wish we could take the nursery with us to Portugal! From the baby room until now, we couldn’t be happier with the care he received. We always felt calm and confident leaving him there, knowing he was in very good hands. He was always happy to go in the mornings and looked forward to his days at nursery. All the staff are patient, attentive, and caring, and they helped our son develop, learn, and grow in confidence each day. He absolutely loves the food and always asks for more than one portion! We couldn’t be happier with the choice we made and highly recommend this nursery to anyone. Boys and Girls Nursery will always hold a very special place in our hearts, and we will never forget the important role it played in our child’s life and future. We feel nostalgic about him leaving, but also very grateful and happy that he was able to experience his early nursery journey here, a place that he truly loves. Thank you so much Boys and Girls Nursery Stanmore!

Our little began nursery at 11 months and is now fully enjoying the baby room at 15 months. Whilst we were nervy at first, Mollie, Rachel and Amelia, made the whole families experience very smooth. It is clear to see the staff are very passionate and caring. We feel at ease when he is at nursery, that he is well taken care of and in the safest hands. We feel our son has really developed in the baby room. Each day they set out activities which are so thoughtful and encourge learning and motor skills etc. They have a lovely cosy indoor space for the babies and an outdoor space specifically for the babies too. The nursery is very clean. The menu is varied and great and he has really developed self feeding skills since being there. It really is a home away from home for our son.

I looked around for a nursery quite a lot and was pleased to find boys and girls. Having worked in a nursery many years ago I had some idea of what I was looking for. My daughter started at 8 months, so I could return to work full time. I really feel lucky and thankful for everything the nursery has provided and the caring staff. I can go to work and not worry. Her key worker, helped her to settle and was very attentive to her, and also communicated closely with me to help her settle smoothly. I get daily updates and pictures.. which is really lovely. Most of the time my daughter eats all her food and they manage her naps really well. I also get updates about activities, which are varied and engaging. I don't know how I would manage with out the nursery. Thank you to boys and girls and all the staff.

Both of my children attended Boys & Girls Nursery in Stanmore and we could not have asked for a better start to their early years. The warmth and kindness of the staff made them feel at home from the very beginning, and the level of care has always been exceptional. The team are not only nurturing but also highly professional, creating an environment where children feel safe, supported and encouraged to thrive. We have seen our children grow in confidence, independence and happiness thanks to the wonderful attention and guidance they received here. Leaving the nursery feels bittersweet, but we will always be grateful for the dedication and love shown to our family. Truly an outstanding nursery, and I would recommend it wholeheartedly.
