We are so grateful for Mount Carmel. Our daughter is so excited to go to Kindergarten every morning and that is a testament to the amazing staff and the loving and nurturing environment they have created. Every day there is a different activity from arts and crafts to baking. The facilities are exceptional
and Kinderlodge has such a warm welcoming feel, it is also very clean and all the toys are in great condition. The communication from the staff is excellent, we receive a weekly detailed observation which is a highlight of our week. Her teachers will always make the time at drop off or collection to update you or greet you each day. Our daughter is so happy and confident and has made lovely friends. Thank you to the staff and management team for all your efforts. We really appreciate it and so happy this is our daughter's first introduction to education what an amazing first stepping stone. Mount Carmel is exceptional.

Across the past 8 years we have had our 3 children attend Mount Carmel Kindergarten and not yet have we seen anywhere that could compare. It has been the best start for them, they have learnt so much, had so much fun and built friendships that have carried them through the toddler years to, in the case
of our eldest, now starting secondary school. Perhaps most importantly, they left Mount Carmel aware of how to treat others and of how they should be treated in return. The adults at Mount Carmel model great relationships and that has helped our children navigate the challenges of school very well. Mount Carmel Kindergarten is the best decision we have made for them.

Mount Carmel Kindergarten provide the perfect transition from nursery to 'big school'. My son thrives in routine and they have helped him understand the difference between nursery to pre-school which has reduced my anxiety about how he will cope when he joins reception. They have identified what works
specifically for him and have put in place a visual timetable to help him understand how his day will progress. He loves books and is very keen to learn to read so they have encouraged this and introduced some books to develop his reading skills further. My son runs in each morning happy to be returning to such a fun and nurturing environment and in the evening he asks to go back to see his friends. What more could a working parent wish for?!

We are very happy with the care our daughter receives. She is always happy to go to the nursery and she has made many friends there. The activities are diverse and engaging and the children receive support, be it with eating or napping. The staff are always available to clarify any of our queries and
every time it feels like we are truly listened to. Even when looking for a school for the reception we were able to consult with them.
We already decided that we would like our baby boy to attend Mount Carmel once he's old enough. Couldn't recommend it more.

Mount Carmel Kindergarten has been an exceptional choice for our child. Over the past three months, we've been thoroughly impressed with every aspect of the nursery. The staff are incredibly caring and professional, creating a warm and nurturing environment where children feel safe and happy.
The activities
are engaging and well-planned, supporting both learning and creativity. The facilities are clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed, while the outdoor space provides a fantastic area for play and exploration. The nursery's commitment to safeguarding and its excellent communication with parents have been particularly reassuring.
We couldn't be happier with the care and support our child receives and would highly recommend MCK to any parent looking for a nurturing and stimulating environment for their little one.

Moving our son to Mount Carmel Kindergarten was the best decision we ever made. Our son was happy at his previous daycare and we thought weren't going to change, but we quickly changed our mind after a visit to Mount Carmel Kindergarten. We love the way Mount Carmel Kindergarten set up the classes and
their approach to learning, the environment is inviting and engaging. Our son is thriving there! He loves going to see his friends and teachers every day, and he would tell us how much he misses everyone during the holidays. Our son has grown not just in confidence, but in self-awareness and accountability. All thanks to the teachers, they are all lovely and always ready to support the parents. I am definitely going to send our youngest there next year!

We're so happy with Mount Carmel and the care they provide for our daughter.
It's clear the staff at Mount Carmel put a lot of thought into making each day special for the children. Our daughter especially loves the cooking sessions, and she often comes home singing new nursery rhymes. Mount Carmel
is helping her develop in other areas as well; counting, colour recognition, putting on clothes and more!
The weekly reports and photos are great, we love seeing what she's been up to, and it's clear she's having a great time and is learning so much.
Our daughter loves going to Mount Carmel, she is definitely in an environment where she can thrive.

Our son has had a wonderful time at Mount Carmel. He’s learnt, been loved and laughed. We can’t thank the staff enough for their care, growth and ongoing nurturing.
We have seen our child grow into the happy, confident, smart and curious adventurer that he is. He’s been constantly guided to become
the best version of himself, which we can’t thank the staff at Mount Carmel enough for.

Since joining Mount Carmel our daughter has changed so much and is truly thriving at the nursery. In just three months the amount of confidence and personality she’s developed and grown is incredible.
Every week she loves getting her show and tell ready and looks forward to the woodland walks. She’s
excited to tell us about her day and the fun she’s had and will proudly show us the baked treat she made that week!
Each staff member is welcoming, friendly and will always take the time to talk about our daughter’s day. I’m confident my daughter will be ready to start school later this year. This couldn’t be possible without the supportive and engaging environment alongside the educational and creative activities provided.
I’m glad to have chosen Mount Carmel and would highly recommend the nursery.

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.

It is difficult to find the words to describe how enriching and positive my daughter’s time at Mount Carmel has been. Every day her teachers are cheery and positive and provide so many nurturing and inspiring activities that instil a passion for learning and playing, socialising and creating. They inspire
the children, giving them the belief to grow into confident little thinkers, expressive and with such creativity too. We couldn’t be happier to be a part of the Mount Carmel legacy.

Mount Carmel Kindergarten is an outstanding kindergarten.
It really has provided our daughters with the key skills needed to start full-time school.
From how the school is managed to the wonderful teachers.
The children come out so excited about their day. Growing in confidence and love of learning.
This is the place you want your children to go if you want them to have an excellent introduction into learning.
Without a doubt, the best kindergarten in St Albans.

This is my third child to attend Mount Carmel. It was important to me that he got to have the “Mount Carmel” experience just like his siblings. The facilities, the activities, the care and the entire experience can’t be matched. He’s thriving and so happy to attend each session. He settled immediately.
There’s no push to learn, it’s at your child’s own pace. But going from a child who showed no interest “in learning” he’s quickly adapted to start to pick up keys skills. There is plenty to keep the children busy indoors and outdoors. He loves going out for walks, he loves assemblies, he loves singing time and he’s making new friends. It’s the pre-school nativity this week and it’s so special, just like sports day and graduation in July! What I loved about Mount Carmel 7 years ago still applies today. The attention to making sure the nursery and pre school experience is as good as it can be is unrivalled in the area. Highly recommend.

We have been very impressed with Mount Carmel since our son started in September. Such a positive and welcoming vibe with a real home-from-home feel, that you don't get with most nursery settings. Our son has really started to shine and we often find him singing nursery songs and talking to us about
what he has been doing there. We are looking forward to watching him grow and learn with the help of his lovely teachers.

We are so pleased to have found Mount Carmel, we couldn't have wished for a better nursery to send our son to. He is always so excited to go and even asks if he can go to Mount Carmel at weekends too! He absolutely loves two members of staff in particular and we really hope that he is with them throughout
his time at Mount Carmel next year too. We have been so impressed with the friendly and helpful staff; vast range of facilities; communication; and amazing activities that he does. It has meant so much to us that he is incredibly happy and confident at Mount Carmel and has made lots of friends. The Pearls staff and management are outstanding and we feel very fortunate that our son is at such an exceptional 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.
