They have also launched a mobile app where they add your child's daily routine (feeding, changing, napping) and sometimes they upload pictures of their activities on the parents' personal portal. We couldn't have asked for a more caring nursery for our son especially during these difficult times.
My son has been in this nursery since June. He really enjoys it. He likes the playground, toys and food especially. Recently we had parents meeting and we were surprised that the teacher showed us a very detailed book about my son's development. We found he has been looked after well and educated well in the nursery. As for the staff, all teachers are really nice and friendly. My son's key worker always gives detailed feedback. The centre manager is very helpful. She is always there whenever we need help. We are happy parents.
This nursery is amazing! My daughter is very clingy and I was very nervous about her starting nursery. She settled within 2 days so well that I had no problems putting her in full time. The manager really cares about the kids and really goes the extra mile, she organised for the chef to make a birthday cake so that my daughter could celebrate with her friends as I was unable to get one.
I have found my experience with Montessori a very pleasurable one. My son has grown and is developing into a lovely boy that is polite, happy and willing to learn. I have noticed his improvement in his learning, which has come from Montessori, and I can see he is always happy to go. I have found the staff and management extremely nice and friendly, and always will =ing to help with any problems we have.
My little one loved going to the nursery. He says every evening how much he enjoyed it and wants to go again the next day. The staff and management team have been so friendly and professional at all times and we have communicated efficiently, even on the virus closure times and have kept me and my husband informed all the time. I am really pleased with the nursery staff and services. Will recommend it for sure.
The nursery has improved a lot in the past 15 months our son has been attending. The facilities, equipment, and most recently the garden (based on photos shared by management). Staff are attentive and caring for the children.
My child has been at this nursery since she was 1 and has made good connections with the nurturing staff and is very happy here. I think that it looks great now it has been refurbished and there are always fun things for her to do both in babies and now in the toddler rooms. I like the way they are building her independence and the opportunities for messy and water play that just isn't possible at home. I have already recommended the nursery to others in the area and would not hesitate to do so again.
My now three-year-old and four-year-old have been attending this lovely nursery for almost two years now. The staff are very attentive and have formed amazing bonds with my children. The facilities are excellent and they have a culture of continuous improvement and are always open to feedback. I highly recommend it, especially in these unprecedented times when you want your children to be in safe and caring environments.
I am very pleased with the overall experience at Montessori Busy Bees. My daughter loves to go and also is really affectionate to the staff. I feel that even in this difficult time, I can put my trust in them.
My son has been attending Montessori in Finchley since September 2018. He was happy here, loved his teachers and was very well looked after. His speech improved so much since the start of the nursery, that now I have no worries about his readiness for the reception class at school. He is an energetic child, and the nursery made sure he got plenty of exercises, he also enjoyed the additional activities the nursery provided (football with external coach). He will be missing the nursery, the chef, and his favourite teacher. Thank you!
The staff give constructive detailed accounts of how your child is doing each day, and there is always up to date information about parent meetings, events and future activities the kids will be involved in - something I didn't get at all at her previous nursery. It's easy to see how much the staff care and they help encourage the kids to find their own way through activities, in a way that's comfortable for them.
A welcoming nursery which is always improving, having just been refurbished. Bright and clean, friendly staff (especially preschool) and my daughter enjoys going.
I'm always happy to leave him as I know he'll be in really good hands.
This is a wonderful nursery. My daughter joined when she was two and is now in reception. My son joined three months ago. Both of them love every minute they spend in here. The staff have looked after them brilliantly as they genuinely care for every child. What's worth mentioning, is how quick my son settled in really surprised us, as you can imagine for an 18-month-old from a non-English speaking family. I must say the staff are absolutely amazing. Nothing is better than the smile on your childrens faces when they hear it's time to go to nursery. Also, the food is excellent. Thank you Busy Bees family.
Very happy with the stable staff now and upgrades to facilities.
Very good nursery, my little one has been here since 2017 from age ten months. Montessori by busy bees were instrumental in getting her to walk early and have been great as she goes off to primary school next year. Highly recommended.
Good, nice to see that the refurbishments are underway, the new rooms look great.
I am very proud to say how pleased I am with this nursery. My child receives amazing care by the staff, each and every staff member. My childs development has come along extremely well, considering his age. The meals that are prepared on-site fit my childs needs exceptionally well. I would highly recommend parents that this is the perfect place if you wish to put your child in any kind of childcare. As a parent, I never feel worried as anything that happens, takes place, etc, is always well notified to parents efficiently. Overall, this is an amazing nursery.
Our daughter loves it here! We like:
+ 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 without running riot.
+ Kids get lots of hugs
+ Staff listen to feedback
+ Lots of children's art & pictures on the walls
+ The staff turnover is very low
+ They have a good IT system where one can view pictures of ones child's development.
+ Everyone is very friendly
+ Diverse set of activities, with special events. e.g. Chinese new year, traveling zoo visit
+ Although the nursery is part of a group, it does not feel particularly corporate. With local management having discretion
+ The management is supportive with swapping days
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
Mace Montessori is a lovely nursery has given both of our children an environment to grow into individuals with lots of character and a fabulous environment to learn and take own interests further. Lots of activities and within the last 4/5 months management team have become very active in making so many improvements to provide opportunities for children and the staff too.
