MOUNT CARMEL KINDERGARTEN REVIEWS

Our son really enjoys the Kinder Lodge. He's always looking forward to going to the nursery. We like the activities kids do at nursery, which covers all their physical, mental and emotional developments. I especially like the gym and cooking sessions they have introduced at this age which make them aware of life's important things. The staff are really helpful and caring. They take good care of our son. I'd highly recommend this nursery.

Our daughter is so happy about attending Mount Carmel and never complains when it is a nursery day. The staff are very warm and friendly, and Kinder Lodge provides a modern, clean environment for learning with great outdoor space. We are so happy with the nursery.

We are extremely fortunate to have our daughter attend Mount Carmel Kindergarten - Kinder Lodge. The facilities are second to none, staff are experienced, welcoming and friendly, giving us regular updates on our child’s progress and development. Activities go beyond what one would expect from a nursery - everything from weekly cooking lessons, to visits from a petting zoo, to pumpkin carving, to scooter racing, it's simply outstanding. The nursery’s structured routine and unique uniform prepares children well for starting school. We’ve had the most wonderful experience with both our eldest and our youngest child at Mount Carmel and could not recommend this nursery enough.

ST ALBANS HATFIELD ROAD NURSERY REVIEWS

Our experience with Montessori by Busy Bees St Albans Hatfield Road has been nothing short of outstanding. From the moment we enrolled our child, we were welcomed with open arms by the friendly and professional staff. The environment is warm, nurturing, and beautifully designed to stimulate young minds. We have seen remarkable progress in our son's skills and confidence. The caregivers are truly passionate about their work, providing personalised attention and creating an engaging atmosphere. Communication with parents is excellent, with regular updates and opportunities to be involved in our child's learning journey. We couldn't be happier with our choice and highly recommend The Montessori by Busy Bees Nursery to any parents seeking a top-quality early education experience for their little ones. Five stars all the way.

My son absolutely loves Busy Bees and the staff there. At only two years old, he is familiar with all the staff from the baby room to preschool, this shows that they all take the time to get to know our little ones. The Busy Bees team is an extended part of my family. I have not had a single issue with them, I am comfortable that if there were any issues that we would work them out. I love the facilities and the arts and crafts that they expose our little ones to are absolutely top class. Thank you for caring and always being welcoming.

Our daughter has settled in and loves nursery, although it was daunting at first, her key worker has always been available to provide us with reassurance and our little one has come on leaps and bounds over the past six months. I like the home-like approach to the baby room and all of the staff are attentive, warm and committed to the kids. It is early days but I am very happy to have found Montessori by Busy Bees St Albans Hatfield Road, Smallford for our little girl and we are looking forward to watching her flourish over the next few years.

GRASSHOPPERS DAY NURSERY REVIEWS

Grasshoppers has been great for our son. They have always been great at communicating with us, and regularly provide updates to reassure us. Our son has flourished in their care, and we've always felt very confident that they really look after him. Highly recommend to any parent.

Grasshoppers Day Nursery is lovely, my daughter settled in so well with the help of fantastic staff. All the staff seem so engaged with the children. Thank you very much for all the care and support.

We are happy with Grasshoppers! Our daughter has been here for almost a year and has been doing really well. Staff are friendly and provide excellent care and feedback. Keep up the good work.
