*Welcome to the world of Home from Home, where we proudly place the learning, development, and happiness of your child at the very heart of all that we do.*
Home from Home, located at 52A Bernard Street, St Albans, Hertfordshire, AL3 5QN, is far more than just a day nursery. We are a nurturing home away from home, where every day is a new opportunity for making magical memories and laying the foundation for a lifetime of learning and growth. Our unwavering commitment to providing the very best in childcare has recently earned us the prestigious EYQS Gold Award, with recent feedback lauding our setting as "truly inspirational" and "everything child centric." We have crafted an environment in which children can spread their wings, learn valuable life skills, and thoroughly enjoy themselves in the process.
Our nursery has been designed with children in mind. With our 'Child's World' philosophy, we ensure that every facility, educational resource, and learning-through-play experience are tailored and finely tuned to the age, stage, and unique needs of each individual child. Our dedicated and passionate team of childcare professionals understand that every child deserves the respect, time, and attention required to help them reach their full potential. We have a wealth of experience in supporting children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and our close relationships with partners dedicated to child development allows us to develop and deliver a bespoke, child-centric learning experience encompassing all aspects of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).
Our Services
At Home from Home, we believe that communication and collaboration are the keys to success. Each family is provided with a dedicated Key Person who acts as the first point of contact and offers a consistent, familiar face to your child during their time with us. We also offer regular newsletters, calendars, and opportunities for parents and guardians to attend open days and stay and play sessions. These events offer a chance to meet our team, create a shared community, and engage with our expert insights and resources to support your child's ongoing learning and development.
We cater to children aged 3 months to 5 years old. Our nursery amenities are divided into the following age ranges:
-Baby Room (3-14 months)
-Little Tots Room (14-24 months)
-Funky Monkeys Room (2-3 years)
-Eager Beavers Room (3-5 years)
-Pre-School Room (4-5 years)
Each room has been lovingly and carefully designed with a focus on safety, accessibility, and stimulating educational play. As your child grows and develops, they will progress in a secure, nurturing, and familiar setting, with their Key Person and friends at their side as they build confidence and develop their own unique personality.
