We absolutely love Glenalmond. Our two year old is very happy there and we've been consistently impressed with their level care. All the staff have taken the time to get to know him - even those who aren't based in his room - which makes for a lovely welcoming and home-like atmosphere. The range of
activities is superb, and they have several large rooms (including a library and an art room) which means that our son is engaged in different ways throughout the week. The gardens are large and surrounded by beautiful big trees which gives space for lots of outdoor exploring. The food is superb: the menu range is outstanding and nutritionally balanced. Our son is vegetarian and they have easily catered - properly - for his dietary needs. We would wholeheartedly recommend Glenalmond.

This nursery is truly an amazing place, and I have complete peace of mind knowing my son is safe, happy, and very well cared for. My older son previously attended this nursery and loved every single day he spent there, which is exactly why I chose the same nursery for my younger son when he turned one.
The
staff are exceptionally friendly, polite, and approachable. They are clearly very experienced, well trained, and always prioritise the children's safety and wellbeing. You can really see the care and dedication they put into helping each child grow and thrive.
I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a nurturing, safe, and supportive environment where children can learn, develop, and truly flourish.
Reply from Ramesh Assadi, Centre Manager at Montessori by Busy Bees St Albans Hatfield RoadThank you very much for your wonderful review. I truly appreciate it, and I am delighted to hear that you are pleased with our nursery. I will share your feedback with my team.

We absolutely love this nursery. Our experience with our first child, who attended from the age of two until starting school, was exceptional, which made returning with our second child an easy decision. Our baby joined at just 11 months and has settled beautifully. Every room is warm, engaging, and
thoughtfully run. The staff are consistently loving, attentive, and genuinely care about the children, who clearly adore them in return. The management and administrative team are organised, approachable, and supportive. This nursery creates a nurturing environment where children truly thrive, and we could not recommend it more highly.
Reply from Ramesh Assadi, Centre Manager at Montessori by Busy Bees St Albans Hatfield RoadThank you for your wonderful review and for your kind words. We are grateful to have your family as part of the Busy Bees family and appreciate your trust in us during your children's early years journey.

Excellent nursery and would highly recommend to others. My daughter has attended from 10 months old and has enjoyed every single room. The staff are so caring and friendly, from room staff to the office staff and manager. I am very impressed with the support in developing my daughter and EYFS - she
is now in preschool and pretty much school ready with 9 months to go. The facilities are fantastic, activities set out for the children are varied and the outside space is large and well equipped.
We've truly loved our Busy Bees experience and will be bittersweet to say goodbye this summer

FANTASTIC NURSERY!
Every morning we are warmly welcomed with a big smile, regardless of which staff member opens the door.
From the centre manager to every single one of her staff, they are an amazing team and do an incredible job with our children - added bonus, the chef cooks such a variety of healthy
meals that my daughter loves.
My daughter is also excited to go to nursery everyday and I have every confidence that I am sending her to a safe and caring setting where she is able to feel comfortable, confident, have fun and thrive!
This is my second child to attend this nursery. My first child has additional needs along with multiple food allergies and this nursery (especially his key worker) catered toit all amazingly. It left me with so much confidence in this nursery and the staffs abilities to adapt to each individual child's needs, so choosing a nursery for my second child (with no additional needs or allergies) I did not have to think twice. Busy bees Hatfield Road, every time!

We couldn't be happier with this nursery. From the very beginning, it has been an amazing place for our son, and the progress he has made is incredible. He has developed so much, socially, emotionally, and in his confidence.
Most importantly, he is genuinely happy. He feels safe, cared for, and loved,
and he looks forward to going to the nursery every single day, which says everything. As a parent, that peace of mind is priceless.
The staff are absolutely wonderful, kind, patient, attentive, and truly dedicated to the children.
You can tell they care deeply about each child's wellbeing and development, and they always go above and beyond. Their warmth, professionalism, and genuine love for what they do make this nursery very special.
The food is another standout, it is cooked fresh every day, always of very high quality, and clearly prepared with the children's health and nutrition in mind.
We are so grateful to the entire team and couldn't recommend this nursery.
Reply from Ramesh Assadi, Centre Manager at Montessori by Busy Bees St Albans Hatfield RoadThank you so much for this beautiful review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear how much your son is thriving and that he looks forward to his time with us every day.

I have taken my little one since he was 6 months old (now he is over 19 months old).
The nursery is absolutely wonderful! From the moment he joined, the staff have been so caring, patient, and attentive - they treat every child as an individual and create such a warm, welcoming atmosphere. My child
has grown in confidence and is learning something new every day.
The activities are creative and engaging, and the communication with parents is excellent. The facilities are clean, safe, and perfect for little ones, with a fantastic outdoor area for play and exploration.
I couldn't be happier with the care and education my child receives here: it truly feels like a second home - we're so grateful to be part of it!

A truly wonderful place. My son has been at the nursery since he was 12 months old and is now in preschool. The staff are so welcoming, caring, and nurturing. It is clear how much they genuinely care for the children. Their warmth and dedication have created such a supportive and positive environment
at each stage, and my son has grown so much in confidence throughout his time there. He absolutely loves the days he attends, and I feel reassured knowing he is safe, happy, and thriving in such a wonderful setting.

My Son has been attending Busy Bees since August 2024 and absolutely loves it. He learns so many new things and loves playing with the other children and staff. Since he started in the baby room he has moved up into the next two age groups. The staff have been amazing at helping him settle in each time
and I couldn't fault them. A genuinely lovely nursery.

We absolutely love the nursery. Our little one is so pleased to see the staff every morning and they are always so friendly and welcoming. I feel like my daughter is in very safe hands with the staff and am confident she has a great time with them. The rooms are large so it doesn't feel cramped and
there are so many toys, games and activities available. Her learning and development has come on leaps and bounds since being there as well. The App is fantastic as it tell me everything she does and eats each day and if I have any queries the staff are always there to help out. Couldn't be happier with the nursery!

The centre director and the team at Busy Bees are wonderful. Our child's confidence has grown tremendously, and he is growing into an independent young boy. We can't falter the team. They genuinely love children and do their best to make sure they feel cared for and loved. At each stage, our child has
felt secure with his nursery family, who have each helped him to thrive. From two specific staff members in the baby room, to another specific staff member in Tottos and two other specific staff members in the Bambinos room, they have each played a part in his happiness. We feel confident and content sending our little one to nursery each day and are very happy we chose Busy Bees!

Both of my children attend Busy Bees (one in preschool, one in baby room), and I couldn't be happier.
There is always a wide array of topical amd interesting activities, they eat wonderful (and healthy!) food, and they are really learning to be independent.
The staff are exceptional and truly
go above and beyond; I feel like my children are dropped off to a second family.
Highly recommend.

My daughter is at Busy Bees since she was8 months and she is now 3.5 years old. It is a great place with caring staff that provide kids with so many stimulus. Kids become contend and independent and they are marvelous to watch them growing. I particularly admire the director of the nursery, she cares
and she is an amazing role model full of energy , caring and very strong at the same time

We have had a fantasic experience at Busy Bees Glenalmond. The staff are friendly, kind and dedicated, they keep us informed and look after our child amazingly. He loves it there and settled so well - which says it all really!
Our only critisism is of Busy Bees themselves who have hiked prices lately,
and changed the pricing structure to make it even more expensive for parents. I just hope that some of the price increase makes its way to the fantastic staff and facilities as well as to the Head Office.
Overall though, we love it!

We have been using this nursery for around 6 months now and have been consistently impressed. The rooms are spacious and well-equipped, and the big garden is great. The staff welcome my little boy everyday and he is always happy to go in.
Since starting nursery he has become so much more confident
around other adults outside the family, and he has developed lots of new skills. We get regular updates through the day of the various activities they get up to. The management team have also been very helpful explaining the government funding process. Would highly recommend.
