The nursery offers a wide range of activities that keep the children engaged and excited to learn. From creative arts and crafts to interactive play sessions, there is always something fun and educational happening. They even have disco time where the children can dance and enjoy themselves. The variety of activities helps in the overall development of the children and keeps them enthusiastic about their time at the nursery.
We also love the nursery’s app, which keeps us updated with photos and news. The staff always provides feedback about what happened during the day and how our daughter is doing, which is very reassuring.
Another great aspect is the delicious and nutritious food they provide. It’s comforting to know that our daughter is receiving healthy meals that she enjoys.
We are very satisfied with the care and attention our daughter receives and highly recommend this nursery to other parents.
The lack of adequate training was a significant issue. New hires were thrown into the deep end without proper onboarding, which not only hindered new employees ability to carry out their roles. This negligence on the part of the management is inexcusable and reflects a disregard for both employees and the children they are entrusted with. Room leaders were also reluctant to support new employees
Moreover, the work-life balance at Boys and Girls Nursery was non existent. I was a part time employee however other colleagues would complain about this often during breaks. The demands placed on staff were excessive, with little consideration for personal time or well-being. The pressure to meet unrealistic expectations led to burnout, affecting both job satisfaction and overall mental health.
Additionally, the remuneration did not reflect the level of responsibility and dedication required in the childcare profession. The salaries were not competitive, and the lack of performance-based incentives further discouraged employees from investing their best efforts.
Complaints were not handled effectively (if at all), the manager would not take them seriously and would not communicate to the complain tee how their complaint was handled. Nothing changed
In conclusion, my employment at Boys and Girls Nursery, Watford, was a disheartening experience characterized by poor communication, inadequate training and insufficient compensation. I strongly advise potential employees to thoroughly consider these aspects before committing to a position at this nursery.
