For parents looking to give their little ones the best start to their education, these are all the Watford pre-schools and nurseries rated ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted.

The town already enjoys a good standard of teaching with 12 primary schools and two secondary schools rated highly by the education inspector.

But for children aged three to five, there are also multiple pre-schools and nurseries in who have also been graded  'outstanding'.

Most recently, Precious Playdays owner and co-manager  Lianne Maltman said she was "so pleased" when the pre-school's glowing report was published in May.
