Forest School from the very first day — and a guaranteed place in our Reception.
Welcome to Sherrardswood Nursery
More than a nursery — a full school from day one
Sherrardswood Nursery is where children aged 2 to 4 discover, learn and play in a safe, nurturing environment — set in 40 acres of Hertfordshire parkland. We take children from age 2, with dedicated provision for our 2–3s (Hedgehogs) and 3–4s (Badgers). Experienced teachers work closely with every child, giving the kind of individual attention a large nursery chain simply cannot.
We’re not a chain — we’re a school. Every nursery child is guaranteed a place in our Reception, and the start of an all-through journey to A-Level in one happy, familiar place.
✦
Specialist learning most nurseries can’t offer
Subject-specialist teachers, Spanish, dance, Forest School and PE — from age 2.
◆
A real school from day one
Lunch in the dining hall, whole-school assemblies, full access to our facilities and grounds — with the routines that make starting Reception effortless.
❧
Care that works around your week
Breakfast Club and After School Club, so the day fits family life.
✚
A guaranteed place in Reception
