About this day nursery

Forget Me Not Nursery, under new ownership and management since April 2023, is a nurturing early years setting in Hornchurch, dedicated to children aged 3 months to 5 years. This small-scale nursery prides itself on offering a personalised experience, blending the comforts of a home environment with the structured learning of a larger institution.

Children benefit from a spacious open-plan room and an outdoor area, where they engage in play and learning tailored to their age groups. The nursery focuses on fostering intellectual, social, emotional, and physical growth through interactive and hands-on experiences.

Safety is paramount, with measures such as CCTV, a virtual doorbell, and a parent PIN system in place. An experienced onsite cook prepares five fresh, nutritious meals daily, catering to individual dietary needs and promoting social skills during meal times where staff and children eat together.

Forget Me Not Nursery is committed to strong partnerships with parents, encouraging open communication and involvement in their child's developmental journey. They aim to cultivate confident, compassionate, and independent individuals within a warm, inclusive, and loving atmosphere.

I was surprised there isn't much reviews on this nursery ! It is really outstanding and staff would go above and beyond for your child. Managers are very helpful and caring. I had an issue with my child's milk and food intake and we worked together to sort this out. They even offered halal chicken for him specifically to ensure his dietry needs are met . Tottally recommended.
