+ The kids are nice to each other. Other kids will console our daughter if she is upset
+ The diet is very good, very diverse. We had a independent dietitian look at the menu & they were happy with it
+ We've observed that the kids are free to be themselves
Many prep schools in London favour children from Montessori schools. Most importantly, the staff seem to really care about our & the other children, at the nursery

I have my second child in there too and almost ready to start school soon. She is very happy and has developed properly and
Lots of extra activities, and park trips. Great activities for the kids to learn about different cultures, such as the recent Chinese New year activity where they brought a dancing Dragon in! The kids loved it!
Recommendation I would like them to push more the Montessori learning techniques and its equipment more often.

Here are some of the practical reasons why we chose this nursery (in no particular order):
1)
... but the real reason we send our son here is because *ALL* the staff are awesome and our son is really HAPPY here.
If you live anywhere near Whetstone or North Finchley, I would definitely recommend it.

The Review Score of 9.0 (8.994) out of 10 for Montessori by Busy Bees Finchley 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 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 7 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.905 for Montessori by Busy Bees Finchley is calculated as follows: ( (76 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.905
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 4.089 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Montessori by Busy Bees Finchley is based on 7 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 = 3.7
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 90 number of registered child places is 18. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 18 = 0.389
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.
