Tots & Scholars - Nursery & Preschool

My daughter goes to Tots and Scholars and I am really very happy with its services. Its a brilliant nursery and has extremely nurturing environment. All the staff members as well as the owner are amazing. When I drop her in the morning I dont look back and I feel she is in the safe hands. The staff is very friendly, humble and cooperative. They always answer parents queries. The communication has proven to be excellent. At the time of pick up, they tell what the child has done during the day and give all the updates. All the staff are highly qualified and fully trained. ACTIVITIES They do lots of different activities like singing, acting, dance, sports, outdoor, forest school, painting, book reading, story session, disco dance and many more. They celebrate all the festivals too and help the children in understanding the different religions and cultures around the world. They organise various events and invite the parents to see the kids performances like Mothers Day, Fathers Day, Diwali Event, Story Telling, Christmas Concert etc. FOOD The have a special chef onsite everyday who cook amazing and delicious fresh food. My daughter loves eating there. They provide breakfast club, morning snacks, lunch, pudding, afternoon snacks, tea time snacks during the day and the food is loved by all the children. They take care of the children in a very nice and motherly way. My daughter wants to go the nursery even on the weekends as well because she is so happy there and loves her nursery teachers. PRIVATE SCHOOL ASSESSMENTS They teaches very well and prepare the kids for the Private School Assessments - Reception Entry. They have a broad curriculum which covers all the topics necessary for the growing child to learn. They teach the kids how to write, read, making drawings etc. They have a dedicated learning room for the daily learning sessions which runs through out the day. They send weekly working sheets via email so kids can also practice at home with the parents. They have a broad knowledge about the private school assessments and knows which school is looking for what in the kids. They prepare the kids and teach them everything required for the assessment like recognising shapes, counting, alphabets, writing name, reading, making drawings, colouring, solving puzzles, beads threading, dice numbers, finding the missing numbers/alphabets, patterns, making stories on their own as well as being friendly and learn how to share things with others, being kind, respect others and many more. My daughter sat for Manor Lodge School and Haberdasher Girls and she got offers from both of them. I am proud of her as well as proud of all the nursery staff who are so dedicated towards the learning of the kids. Every year the Tots & Scholars kids gets selected in the top Private Schools of U.K. My daughter has come a long way and improved and excelled in every area of growth after joining Tots. She has become very independent and wants to do the things on her own. All the kids are super well behaved. I am very happy and feels so lucky that she goes to this nursery. Its the BEST and outstanding. I highly recommend it. Thank you

We have had a fantastic experience at Tots and Scholars. We sent our eldest there and now have our younger one there too. The standards for academic progress, food quality, activities for the children, and communication with the parents are consistently outstanding. We are very happy and would highly recommend the nursery to anyone.

We recently joined TAS and have been incredibly impressed with the level of care and attention from all staff we have interacted with. They clearly love their jobs and treat the children with such respect. Great communication with us as parents too. Thank you!

TAS is an excellent nursery and pre-school setting. My little one has been there for just over a year now and it's been wonderful to see her flourish. The staff are so warm and caring - she and we have great relationships with all of them, and we feel very much a part of the TAS community. The staff also clearly know all the children as individuals and encourage their interests and development accordingly. The approach to learning is fun and creative, whether it's within the setting or out in the community or forest school. If you're looking to get your child into private school, they will do everything they can to help achieve this - I was very impressed with the time and effort invested in getting the children into first choice schools. I also really appreciate the high standard of communication with the parents, as well as the effort they put into celebrating a diverse range of events, often including the parents too! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend TAS to other families, and look forward to my younger one joining the nursery soon!

Tots and Scholars is an excellent nursery and pre prep setting - who have provided a huge amount of support to our children and family with regards to early years learning and preparation for school/assessments for top tier schools including NLCS, Habs, Manor Lodge and Aldenham. Most children receive an offer to their top choice school and this is a reflection of the nurseries commitment to every childs individual needs. Learning through play and nurturing the kids interests, every practitioner at tots and scholars is interested in each child individually and is emotionally invested in their future. From forest school to visits to the local care home, children are given gentle exposure to so much that will serve them in the future. The nursery is incredibly multi faceted in what it provides. All staff care deeply about its families and the nursery has a true community feel. My children go in smiling and always come out the same. We would not hesitate to recommend tots and scholars to a future family.
