About

Longwood School and Nursery, in Bushey near Watford in Hertfordshire, is registered as an Independent School with the Department for Education and also registered with Early Years Ofsted. The premises are open 7am 7pm, Monday to Friday, throughout the year except Bank Holidays.

The Day Nursery and Preparatory School offer continual education for children from three months to eleven years in a truly family atmosphere. Longwoods aim is to provide a happy, stimulating, healthy and safe environment where all children can attain high standards and develop into well-balanced citizens.

Each childs individuality is fostered with the encouragement of talents and abilities. Emphasis on high standards of self-discipline, considerate behaviour and the full preparation of subsequent schooling are essentials of our day-to-day care.

Longwood Nursery was formed from the consolidation of the family-run well-established Rainbow Nurseries and their staff in operation throughout Bedfordshire and Middlesex. This consolidation and continued success since then has enabled longstanding, experienced and well-qualified staff to be happily employed: being motivated to ensure that every child receives the best care.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
