This nursery is amazing.
The manager leads a team of knowledgeable staff who always have a smile on their faces and it is obvious they enjoy what they do.
This translates into the children flourishing at the nursery.
My child is very happy here and he will be sad to leave however looking forward
to enrolling the baby here soon.

Busy Bees (Kenton) is an outstanding nursery. My son went to this nursery and absolutely flourished especially in the pre-school room. So naturally, when my daughter was born I sent her to the same nursery. I only have praises to sing about this nursery. My daughter who attends there loves it, initially,
she was very teary and upset. The manager and her team made my daughter feel very welcome and loved. The whole team are fantastic, they are like family, they don’t just acknowledge my daughter when it's pick up/drop of time but also my other children. The staff always have a very warm welcoming smile and always give a brief summary on how the child’s day has been. I always recommend this nursery to all my family and friends, I definitely rate it 5*.

Thank you to all the staff at Busy Bees Kenton.
Putting my son into nursery for the 1st time after being at home with me for over a year, I had my doubts, however, the staff were amazing and made sure all my questions/worries were answered. They are professional and efficient when dealing with my son’s
allergies which gives me great comfort. I’m really happy we found this nursery and will be recommending to friends and family.

I have been taking my son to this nursery since he was 16 months and I am very happy with the way he progressed throughout this time. The staff are lovely and extremely attentive and I get feedback every day about his activities and all the things he has done through the day. Everyone is always very
professional and they make sure to keep us updated. The Manager is absolutely fantastic, always professional and carrying and she will go above and beyond to make things great. My son loves it and I have peace of mind knowing that he’s on great hands. The nursery looks great, newly refurbished and the kids are taken outside in the big garden to play every single day. I highly recommend this nursery, I’m very happy we found it.

My son has moved from a nursery to this Montessori setting, and I couldn't be much happier. In the last 6-months, I have seen him grow. He has recently turned three and moved into preschool. He is already talking about jolly phonics! The staff are always so positive and always provide constructive feedback
to help my son, who is full of beans.
They made toilet training a breeze.
I can’t recommend this Montessori enough. Last but not the least, they have been amazing through this pandemic!

The nursery has come on leaps and bounds since following the acquisition by Busy Bees. Complete refurb, new equipment, toys for the kids and renovated garden. All of the nursery staff are friendly, highly qualified and professional. Our daughter absolutely loves it there and will be sad to leave this
year.

Reply from Hager Al-Hakimi, Manager at Montessori by Busy Bees Kenton

Dear H J,


I sincerely thank you for this amazing review. It has been and will always be a pleasure having your daughter in our nursery and she will truly be missed when she goes to school. I know for sure that she will grow up to be an important person in this world and she will achieve leaps and bounds in the coming months and years. Good Luck!

My son, who is 13 months, has been going to this nursery since I returned to work in December. Like all new parents I was very anxious at the start, but now I feel happy to leave my son with this nursery. The ladies here are attentive and fantastic with the children and my son has made excellent progress
since starting. He is always happy to go. The provision is fantastic and I love that they take the children outside daily - as my son loves to be outside. The price is also reasonable compared to other comparable nurseries. I can not recommend this nursery highly enough.

Providing good daily updates when picking up my child. My child appears very happy and excited to go to nursery. Staff are professional, providing support and are friendly. The manager, words can not express how impressive the manager is, she is friendly, always smiling, professional at all times, supportive
to the parents, supporting her staff in order for the children to progress and develop. She really listens to the parent's concerns and worries and finds solutions to resolve them. Providing support to myself as being a first time dad, providing ideas and activities which can be carried out in the home setting to enhance the child's development. Catering and providing individualised care of each child. The nursery is clean and tidy. Love the Montessori activities and my child enjoys it very much.

Our kids have been attending this nursery since they turned six months old. Our daughter left as she started school and our son is still there. There was a change in ownership at the start of this year and it has been pleasing to see some very positive improvements to the place. The staff and management
are incredibly warm, they know my child, they give good handovers and they keep us updated. The staff are very knowledgeable and I have been very impressed with them and their dedication to my child. The change in ownership has meant that the Montessori has undergone a renovation, which has seen improved health and safety features. The new environment is a fun and stimulating place and, along with the caring and nurturing staff, a place where we have seen our child be happy and thrive.

Nursery was taken over by Busy Bees and there was a period of change. The nursery, in my opinion, has changed for the better, and the refurbishment has created a welcoming feel. There is also more focus on the activities and the children can clearly access the Montessori activities.

Current Review Score: 8.3 (8.251)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.3 (8.251) out of 10 for Montessori by Busy Bees Kenton 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 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.3 out of 5 from 2 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 4.913 for Montessori by Busy Bees Kenton is calculated as follows: ( (21 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 23 Ratings = 4.913

  • 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 3.338 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Montessori by Busy Bees Kenton is based on 2 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 = 3.125

    • 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 47 number of registered child places is 9.4. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 9.4 = 0.213

  • 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.
