HISTORY OF THIS INDEPENDENT NURSERY; I set up Riverbanks Nursery School in October 1990. We opened for 2 mornings a week. The ethos of this nursery is that of a caring, fun and educational environment where little people start to learn about the world of school and more about the school of life!
'Children and scientists are the best learners in the world, and they both seem to operate in very similar, even identical ways; ways that are unlike even our best computers. They never start from scratch; instead, they modify and change what they know to gain new knowledge.'
The above is a re-wording by author Alison Gopnik of Piaget's work.
This desire to gain new knowledge is evident when you watch our Riverbanks children at play, whilst at Riverbanks. It makes Riverbanks an exciting, stimulating and a happy place to be - whether you are a child or an adult!
I am told that we have a reputation as one of the best nursery schools in the area. But ask you to come and visit us to decide for yourself. We currently have 80 pupils from Harpenden & the towns and villages surrounding Harpenden.
Our pupils and their families can choose from 5 flexible, daily session times and the pupils at Riverbanks range from 2 years and 1 day to 5 years of age. We invoice on a quarter of an hourly basis - so you only pay for the time your child is actually in the nursery school.
When we run our exciting Holiday Clubs in each major holiday period, we accept children aged 2 years to 8 years of age. The hours for this club are 9am till 3.30pm each day.
