As a newly open nursery, I would recommend Canopy Frogmore House given my experience for these beginning months of care for my child. Dev, who runs the nursery, has always been available, open, and honest with communication. I genuinely feel I can come to her with any concerns and appreciate the accessibility to those actually running the nursery. They keep us informed of our child’s care, with regular updates throughout the day, and it’s clear that our child is very well looked after. We have complete peace of mind knowing our child is in safe hands.

I am absolutely thrilled with the experience my daughter is having at Nursery. From the moment we enrolled her, it was clear that this is a place where children are genuinely cared for and nurtured. One of the standout features for me as a parent is the amazing app that the nursery uses. It keeps me updated throughout the day with photos, videos, and notes about my daughter's activities and progress. It's such a joy to see her smiling face and to know what she's learning and experiencing. This app has truly bridged the gap between home and nursery, allowing me to feel connected and involved even when I'm not physically there. The staff at Canopy Frogmore are nothing short of wonderful. They are warm, attentive, and incredibly dedicated to the well-being of each child. It is clear that they genuinely love what they do, and it reflects in the happy and thriving environment they create. My daughter has formed strong bonds with her teachers, and I have complete confidence in their ability to support her development. Overall, I couldn't be happier with our choice of nursery. Canopy Frogmore provides a nurturing, engaging, and safe environment where my daughter is flourishing. I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a place that combines excellent care with innovative communication tools.

We absolutely love everything about Canopy Frogmore House Nursery in Watford. When we first moved to the area, we spent an entire year searching for the right nursery for our little one. It was not easy—most nurseries were either full or lacked a clear educational and wellbeing approach. Then we discovered C.anopy Frogmore House, and it was everything we had been looking for and more. From the moment we visited, we were amazed by the professionalism, warmth, and genuine care shown by the management and staff. Their philosophy, centred on connecting children with nature and nurturing their whole development, immediately stood out. The meals provided are wholesome and nutritious, truly supporting the children’s bodies, minds, and overall wellbeing. The team went above and beyond to help our daughter settle in smoothly, showing such patience and kindness throughout the process. They were attentive to her food intolerances and worked closely with us to ensure she was happy and healthy. Now, our little one wakes up every morning excited for nursery days, eager to see her friends and join in the fun, engaging activities. We couldn’t have wished for a better environment for her to grow and thrive. Frogmore House Nursery is a truly special place, and we feel so grateful to have found it. I honesrly really recommend it.

Grateful for the amazing care and love at Canopy Daycare! I’m beyond happy with our experience at Canopy Frogmore House! My 2 years old son settled in so quickly, and I can see such wonderful improvements — he’s playing more, sleeping on his own, talking with his friends, enjoying messy play, and eating so much better now. I also love getting the daily updates and photos of his activities — it makes my day to see him smiling, learning, and having fun. Thank you to the entire Canopy team for your love, patience, and care. You’ve made my little one so happy and excited to go to daycare every single day! 💛 Warm regards, Rajeswari(Lokesh Mom).

My daughter felt so comfortable which was a shock to me because she usually is fussy in new places, I can see she enjoys her time at frogmore - I get regular updates and pictures, the nursery is very clean and well kept, her food is made fresh, and most importantly the staff is friendly and they really made me feel like I am leaving the most precious part of me in safe hands ❤️ thanks Dev and team ❤️❤️
