Our Schools
Federated in 2022, our three schools are shining examples of why our approach to early years works. Each setting is a community of mutual respect and care in which children, practitioners, leadership, staff and families work and grow together.
Our nurseries all have high aspirations for children, and share a sense of purpose in giving them the best start possible. Most importantly, each setting does this in an atmosphere of kindness, joy and fun.
A short walk from the bustling town centre, Heath Lane Nursery school is located in a purpose-built building hosting 3-5 year olds. With a beautifully designed indoor space and large, natural garden (that houses a treehouse!) children are always able to access exciting new experiences.
Tucked away in South Watford, a few minutes from leafy Oxhey Park, Oxhey Nursery School provides a fantastic space for 2 - 5 years olds. The purpose built building offers spacious, exceptionally well organised rooms all with access to large, safe outdoor spaces for children of all ages to explore.
A peaceful red-brick building in St Albans centre, Muriel Green Nursery School offers a unique space to children from 3 months to 5 years. A verdant ‘secret garden ’(with access to Victoria Park!) offers amazing outdoor opportunities and with the ‘Curiosity Approach’ accreditation the indoor spaces provide a stunning environment for children to develop and explore
What Ofsted Says...
Muriel Green Nursery School
"Children were observed responding promptly to questions, with staff skilfully using exciting materials, pictures and sounds to stimulate their interest. Children were encouraged to shape letters and improve their writing, following staff’s expert modelling. Some children were beginning to write full sentences."
Heath Lane Nursery School
"Heath Lane Nursery School provides a warm and nurturing environment for children from the age of three. Children are happy and settled in their classes. They form positive relationships with adults, underpinned by good care and support."
Oxhey Nursery School
"Children are given lots of interesting and exciting things to do. School is a fun place where children develop an early love for learning. Children enjoy learning new things with their teachers as well as finding things out for themselves. They love spending time outside in the school’s large garden, which is full of fascinating things to play with and explore."
