We were very nervous about our daughter starting nursery last year but the best decision we have ever made was sending her to Old School House. The staff are absolutely wonderful. They love and care for the children in the nursery as if they are their own. We receive daily updates, photos and videos on the app which, as anxious parents, really does help to put our minds at ease. The nursery do so much with the children, like crafts and trips out and our daughter has developed so much since she started. She has clearly become very attached to the staff there and has made some lovely friendships too. The nursery have also been extremely flexible and will always do everything they can to help us. We absolutely love the nursery and would fully recommend it to anyone considering where to send their children.",

              "reviewBody": "We cannot recommend Hartford Old School House Day Nursery (Paintpots) highly enough. Both of our children attended the nursery from their very first days right through every age stage, and the care, dedication and support they received has been nothing short of exceptional.\n\nFrom the very beginning, the team created a warm, family-feel environment where our children felt safe, valued and excited to learn. The balance between structured learning and play was perfect — they didn’t just prepare them academically for school, they nurtured their confidence, independence and social skills. The encouragement of interaction through play, combined with the fantastic indoor and outdoor facilities, gave them the best possible start.\n\nNow aged 8 and 10, they still attend the before and after school club — which speaks volumes in itself. The continuity of care has been invaluable. The team handle school drop-offs and pick-ups seamlessly, which is a huge support to us.\n\nAs a family, life can often be chaotic with clubs, activities and shift work. Yet no matter what we throw at them — last-minute schedule changes, forgotten water bottles, unexpected pick-up calls — the team always go above and beyond to help. Whether it’s making sure our child has water for the day or accommodating a sudden change in plans, nothing ever feels like too much trouble.\n\nTheir flexibility, extended timings and overall value for money are outstanding. But more than anything, it’s the people that make this place so special. Every member of staff is caring, professional and genuinely invested in helping children thrive.\n\nWe are incredibly grateful for the role they have played — and continue to play — in our children’s lives. Choosing Hartford Old School House Day Nursery (Paintpots) was one of the best decisions we made for our family. Phil, Gemma, Theo and Heidi",

My son started at this nursery when he was 1 years old, after my maternity leave came to an end. From the moment I visited I just new it was the setting for us. Since starting nursery my son has developed confidence, resilience and comes home with a smile each time. He is exposed to a range of activities throughout the day. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and generally care for the children. The setting keeps parents/carers updated through an app called Blossom. We receive notifications regarding general care information, news and special moments. The nursery are also flexible and allow you to book additional days if needed. As an Early Years practitioner myself, I would highly recommend this nursery.",

The nursery set up a different range of activities each day, all with the aim and focus of developing different skill sets. My son suffers with his hearing due to ear infections and nursery have gone out of their way to support him with different methods of communication to ensure that his communication doesn't fall behind. We get regular updates and pictures via the app which we love as it allows us to see what he's up to during the day. The nursery do loads of lovely things around special events, such as a garden party with the children for the Kings coronation recently. All the staff are so lovely and welcoming, and the variety of food on offer each day is amazing and all cooked from scratch! I wouldn't hesitate to reccomend Hartford Old School House to any other parents, I'm so happy we found it for our boy!",

We cannot speak highly enough of the Old School House nursery. We were very nervous about our daughter starting nursery last year but the best decision we have ever made was sending her to Old School House. The staff are absolutely wonderful. They love and care for the children in the nursery as if they are their own. We receive daily updates, photos and videos on the app which, as anxious parents, really does help to put our minds at ease. The nursery do so much with the children, like crafts and trips out and our daughter has developed so much since she started. She has clearly become very attached to the staff there and has made some lovely friendships too. The nursery have also been extremely flexible and will always do everything they can to help us. We absolutely love the nursery and would fully recommend it to anyone considering where to send their children.

We cannot recommend Hartford Old School House Day Nursery (Paintpots) highly enough. Both of our children attended the nursery from their very first days right through every age stage, and the care, dedication and support they received has been nothing short of exceptional. From the very beginning, the team created a warm, family-feel environment where our children felt safe, valued and excited to learn. The balance between structured learning and play was perfect — they didn’t just prepare them academically for school, they nurtured their confidence, independence and social skills. The encouragement of interaction through play, combined with the fantastic indoor and outdoor facilities, gave them the best possible start. Now aged 8 and 10, they still attend the before and after school club — which speaks volumes in itself. The continuity of care has been invaluable. The team handle school drop-offs and pick-ups seamlessly, which is a huge support to us. As a family, life can often be chaotic with clubs, activities and shift work. Yet no matter what we throw at them — last-minute schedule changes, forgotten water bottles, unexpected pick-up calls — the team always go above and beyond to help. Whether it’s making sure our child has water for the day or accommodating a sudden change in plans, nothing ever feels like too much trouble. Their flexibility, extended timings and overall value for money are outstanding. But more than anything, it’s the people that make this place so special. Every member of staff is caring, professional and genuinely invested in helping children thrive. We are incredibly grateful for the role they have played — and continue to play — in our children’s lives. Choosing Hartford Old School House Day Nursery (Paintpots) was one of the best decisions we made for our family. Phil, Gemma, Theo and Heidi

I visited Hartford old school Day Nursery yesterday. My Daughter cara will be working in the nursery from next week. My granddaughter Isla-Bella will be attending The visit was very emotional for me the energies in the building are beautiful. Speaking to a few members of staff who love working there. I could see and feel the dedication from the staff which have been working there for a long time. It very clear to see the manager and staff are there for the children not the bottom line .This is not the case in all nursery. If you are considering a nursery for your children go visit. Well done Hartford old school Nursery. Sandra

Hartford Old School House Nursery is a calm, friendly, inclusive and nurturing environment. My son started at this nursery when he was 1 years old, after my maternity leave came to an end. From the moment I visited I just new it was the setting for us. Since starting nursery my son has developed confidence, resilience and comes home with a smile each time. He is exposed to a range of activities throughout the day. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and generally care for the children. The setting keeps parents/carers updated through an app called Blossom. We receive notifications regarding general care information, news and special moments. The nursery are also flexible and allow you to book additional days if needed. As an Early Years practitioner myself, I would highly recommend this nursery.

My son has been going to Hartford Old School House for the last 6 months, and absolutley loves it! The nursery set up a different range of activities each day, all with the aim and focus of developing different skill sets. My son suffers with his hearing due to ear infections and nursery have gone out of their way to support him with different methods of communication to ensure that his communication doesn't fall behind. We get regular updates and pictures via the app which we love as it allows us to see what he's up to during the day. The nursery do loads of lovely things around special events, such as a garden party with the children for the Kings coronation recently. All the staff are so lovely and welcoming, and the variety of food on offer each day is amazing and all cooked from scratch! I wouldn't hesitate to reccomend Hartford Old School House to any other parents, I'm so happy we found it for our boy!
