I couldn't recommend Mace Montessori more highly - our child has been really happy there and has been well taken care of since he was a baby. The staff are really caring and they organise great learning for the children.

The staff are attentive and caring. My baby was so happy to go to school and came back home always with a smile on his face. The activities are very stimulating for the children and given the proximity to the park, there is plenty of outdoor space too. My son has blossomed since starting this nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My 2-year-old daughter loves attending the Mace Montessori Fortune Green Nursery. She walks right in when I drop her off. The staff are really caring, enthusiastic, and motivated. They are genuinely keen to do what is best for each child and offer varied activities for all. It is a small nursery which
we love, as the care is personalised and tailored to each child's needs and interests. The nursery has a really nice community feel which is so lovely. My daughter only attends part time, yet she learns a lot from her carers and from the other children around her at the nursery. Overall, a fantastic environment to be part of for my little one!

Review from Matt (Father of Child) published on 25 January 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both my wife and I saw massive improvements compared to how the nursery was managed before the new manager arrived. We have always been very happy with all the staff – they’re all professional and lovely – but we felt that the nursery lacked organisation and control.


Since the new manager arrived,

we noticed small improvements almost weekly: the material on the notice board is now well displayed and informative - previously the space was poorly used. The communication with the office is heaps better. The sign in/out forms are now clearly labelled and easy to sign. I know that some are small aspects but I think every little bit contributes to send a better message to parents. So I’d say that overall it feels like a very different (improved) place – no doubt about it.


Our son was always happy to attend and felt welcome and loved.


A big thank you and keep up the good work!

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.688)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.688) out of 10 for Montessori by Busy Bees Fortune Green is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.9 out of 5 from 4 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 4.813 for Montessori by Busy Bees Fortune Green is calculated as follows: ( (39 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 4.813
  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 3.875 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Montessori by Busy Bees Fortune Green is based on 4 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 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.375
    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 40 number of registered child places is 8. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 8 = 0.5
  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.
