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!

Excellent nursery with very supportive, dedicated and caring staff. From young age, my son was taught how to be independent. My son loves going to nursery and always talks about his teachers, in fact he asks to go to nursery during the holidays and weekends. I am very impressed with his development
over the last 3 years.
I would recommend this nursery to everyone.

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.
Knowing that he feels safe, loved, and confident is the greatest reward for our team. We pride ourselves on providing both a nurturing environment and nutritious, fresh meals, so it's wonderful to see those efforts recognised.
Thank you for being part of our nursery family!

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!

It is clear how much they genuinely care for the children. Their warmth and dedication have created such a supportive and positive environment

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.

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

Highly recommend.

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.

Communication with parents is excellent, with regular updates and opportunities to be involved in our child's learning journey.

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.

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.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.989) out of 10 for Montessori by Busy Bees St Albans Hatfield Road is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.989 for Montessori by Busy Bees St Albans Hatfield Road is calculated as follows: ( (272 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 275 Ratings = 4.989
  2. 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Montessori by Busy Bees St Albans Hatfield Road is based on 23 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    2. 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 65 number of registered child places is 13, which has been reached with 23 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
