About this day nursery

Heirs and Graces Day Nursery in Tring is dedicated to providing comprehensive childcare, understanding the financial considerations for parents. They offer various funding options to help families afford their services, including support for government-funded hours.

The nursery charges for additional services not covered by basic government funding, such as meals prepared by an on-site chef, extra-curricular activities like yoga and forest school, and access to technology for developmental tracking. They maintain high staff-to-child ratios and employ highly qualified staff, including early years graduates and experienced leaders, to ensure a high standard of care and education.

The nursery operates 50 weeks a year, closing for two weeks around Christmas/New Year and the last full week of July for maintenance, and does not charge during these periods. They also take into account children at risk or under child protection by offering additional services at no cost at the Directors’ discretion.

Invoices are transparently itemised through the ‘Famly’ software, clearly showing funded entitlements and additional charges. They accept payments via BACS, Tax-Free Childcare, and Childcare Vouchers, and provide flexible options for using funded hours, including stretching them over the year.

Children flourish and thrive at this warm and homely nursery. They arrive happily and are excited to see their friends. They consistently engage in exciting and enjoyable activities and use their imaginations to export themselves to magical places.

How they support every child

SEND provision

Links between the special educational needs coordinator (SENCo) and health professionals further support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) to close gaps in learning and development.

Outdoor space

Older children visit the local forest and become deeply engaged in the natural environment, using sticks to paint on large paper canvasses hanging from trees. Children have great fun making a range of delicacies in the outdoor mud kitchen and develop mathematical concepts as they estimate quantities of water.
