Our son has been attending Busy Bees Montessori for 2.5 years. He has been very well cared for and truly enjoys his time there. The staff are all kind and supportive, ensuring that his days are filled with engaging and educational activities. The centre offers a wide range of programmes, including special cultural days where children learn about various ceremonies and traditions celebrated by both their peers and the staff. He is well-fed and never complains about the food. Overall, we feel very fortunate and grateful to have found this outstanding Montessori.

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! Thank you!

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!

I want to start by saying how happy myself and my husband are with Montessori by Busy Bees St Albans Hatfield Road, after a bad time in another nursery the management recommended that we transfer to Hatfield Road and we have never looked back. From the day I met the staff, they gave me the confidence that my child would be well looked after, all staff are excellent and their communication is spot on. They make sure children learn at their own pace and are very good at dealing with an individual child as well as the children in a group, they recognise each child is different and go above and beyond for their learning, care and development.

Our little one has been attending Busy Bees St Albans Hatfield Road for more than a year. From the bottom of our hearts, we want to express our utmost appreciation for the incredible care and attention they've provided to our son. Their dedicated staff members go above and beyond to create a nurturing and stimulating environment that fosters both academic and emotional growth and important values such as kindness, empathy, and respect. We have been consistently impressed by the thoughtfulness and creativity that go into the activities and learning experiences offered at the nursery to stimulate the children's curiosity and foster their growth across all development areas. We've always received very detailed observations for my son by the key person throughout the year via their mobile app as well as regular parent meetings. We couldn't be happier with our decision to entrust our son's care and education to Busy Bees. Very thankful for their dedication, passion and commitment.

My son has been attending Busy Bees at Hatfield Road, during a short time at the nursery we have seen a massive improvement in his social skills, vocabulary and behaviour, which have come on faster than I ever imagined. The staff are so welcoming to both me as parent and and my child who loves attending nursery. I find it easy to address any queries or questions about my son day to day learning. I can't praise all the ladies and the gentlemen enough for all their work with my son! Not a day has gone by that he hasn't wanted to go to nursery. All the staff are amazing!

The level of care provided by the staff is truly commendable. My son feels secure and so happy, and it's evident that the team genuinely cares for the well-being of each child. The variety of activities offered is impressive. From creative arts to interactive play, the nursery ensures a well-rounded set of activities that cater to different interests and developmental stages. The curriculum is well-planned, age-appropriate, and fosters a love for learning in the children. The staff at Montessori are the heart of its success. They are dedicated, nurturing, and create a positive atmosphere for the children. Their commitment to each child's development is highly appreciated. The management team's approachability and responsiveness contribute to a positive partnership between parents and the nursery. Communication is transparent, and concerns are addressed promptly.

I cannot thank the centre director and the preschool team enough for all the support they give to my daughter and us, as a family. My daughter is thriving in preschool and always talks about how much she loves going to school, and she loves her teachers. Thank you all so much.

My granddaughter absolutely loves this place. She has thrived within pre-school. She has some lovely friends and the team there are amazing with her ways. Always helpful and friendly with a genuine care for all the children. Love that they do French lessons and encourage the children to develop their own personalities. She has favourites but she loves all the teachers in her room.

Really thankful to each staff member at Busy Bees for their hardwork and dedication. Without their input, neither my son nor our journey would have been any easier. Leaving my son in capable and trustworthy hands gives me full peace of mind. Highly recommend this nursery to any parent.

What an amazing nursery! I have never felt more safe and comfortable dropping my daughter off at Montessori by Busy Bees Hatfield Road in all the memorable days she has spent there thus far. The staff are extremely efficient, helpful and so very caring with the kids. They made us feel welcome from day 1 and are very approachable and easy to talk to. As a result, my daughter was able to settle in easily and has learnt a lot namely how to interact with her fellow classmates and peers, good communication skills, discipline and was able to meet many key factors in her learning development. An excellent nursery which provides a safe and loving environment for kids to develop and grow. I would greatly recommend Busy Bees Hatfield Road to anyone looking for a nursery in the area. We feel very fortunate to have been a part of such a wonderful and memorable nursery. A big thank you to all the team, we will never forget you all!

Can not fault this nursery at all. Since my daughter has started she has improved in every aspect and I’m so impressed. The reassurance and information that I receive whilst she is at the nursery make me feel so happy that she’s in safe hands. Thank you! Highly recommended.

This must be the happiest nursery in Hertfordshire! My child loves going here every morning! The staff is amazing and always so welcoming. The rooms, atmosphere and activities are exceptional. It feels safe and cosy; like home; as my son says.

This nursery is amazing! The day is filled with great activities and the rooms are arranged every morning with tables full with great motor skills activities. We receive pictures in the parent app which is great. They have great outside space and activities and the staff are always smiling and welcoming. My son is enjoying every day and settled in quickly and I feel very comfortable leaving him there every morning.

My son has settled very quickly and is clearly very happy at nursery, and I put this down to the staff in his room and the environment they create for him. The staff are warm and friendly and plan all sorts of exciting activities for the children. The menu is healthy and well-balanced. The outdoor space is lovely and a good size. The only downsides are the price, as it is a fair amount more expensive than other local outstanding nurseries, and they don't have trips off-site, probably due to the location. However, my son is happy, and that's what really matters!
19 December 2022
Since my son started in this nursery, the team have just gone over and beyond to settle him and make us feel at ease. As a first-time mum, I didn't know what to expect from a nursery but the team have always reassured me and are brilliant with my little one. He's now at a point where he asks to go to nursery (even on weekends) and clearly loves his days! He is independent, speaks so well and is so switched on. I put a lot of that down to the team who spend so much time with him. I love the daily updates and personal touches which make me feel content every day when I drop him in. Not the cheapest option I know but you pay for what you get and there's no price you can put on good childcare! Thank you to the Montessori by Busy Bees St Albans Hatfield Road team!
