We have been with Green Gables since our son was 12 months old and now we have both children continuing 2 years on. The staff are warm and friendly and we have full confidence they are safe and having a great day. The rear garden is an incredible space throughout the year and they love all the activities
they are involved in. The team there makes every opportunity to tailor to my son's needs (ie fussy eater) and both have progressed and developed significantly since joining. Would definitely recommend.

I am delighted with the nursery both the office staff (head teacher) and teachers are fantastic.
There has been a marked improvement since the nursery changed owners and manager joined the team.
It's a very happy and nurturing place.

Our daughter has been attending Green Gables from the age of 1 after being recommended by a friend whose daughter came here. In comparison with other nurseries, the children are calmer and quieter (in a very nice way). Some other nurseries we visited felt like a madhouse where kids were bouncing off
the walls... our daughter loves it here and having such a large outdoor garden in central London is fantastic for their development. The care she has been receiving has been excellent and we have really noticed her developments at home over the past 6 months. The only thing to keep in mind is the 4 weeks holiday (2 at Christmas and 2 at summer) but it does give you a few weeks of quality time with the little one.

From the moment I walked in, I knew it was the right place. The atmosphere is calm, the staff are very in tune to the children, the management are very responsive to requests and the facilities are amazing.
The outdoor space is second to none.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.690)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.690) out of 10 for Montessori by Busy Bees Green Gables Shadwell is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 13 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.877 for Montessori by Busy Bees Green Gables Shadwell is calculated as follows: ( (136 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 154 Ratings = 4.877

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 4.813 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Montessori by Busy Bees Green Gables Shadwell is based on 13 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 80 number of registered child places is 16. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 16 = 0.813

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Centre Director

I have been working in childcare for over 12 years, working my way up from being an apprentice to now managing nurseries. I am a qualified Level 3 in childcare and hold a Business and Management qualification Level 5. 


Working with children is a passion and I thrive on supporting them develop through learning and play. I have twin boys who are currently attending Montessori by Busy Bees and I am confident it is the best environment for them to grow and develop new skills. 


I thoroughly enjoy supporting and mentoring staff to provide children with exceptional childcare on a daily basis, and I believe parent partnerships is key to working with children.
