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.

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.

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.

Montessori by Busy Bees St Albans Hatfield Road have given my Children a great start. I am incredibly thankful for the care they have shown and for giving them such a positive experience. They bounce in and out of Nursery and are clearly very happy and well cared for. We are incredibly grateful.

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.
07 October 2025
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.
30 September 2025
Really well run nursery with fantastic staff, who are all so caring with the children. I have complete confidence that my children are in good, safe hands during the day, while also having a lovely time too.
12 September 2025
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!
12 September 2025
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

Busy Bees St Albans has been fantastic for our child! The staff are warm, caring, and attentive, making every day fun and engaging. Our little one loves the activities, both indoors and outdoors, and has grown so much socially and creatively since starting. The nursery feels safe, welcoming, and
full of learning opportunities. We're so grateful to the team and would highly recommend this nursery to any parent!

I've had two daughters at Busy Bees but currently just have my youngest left there. The team are excellent, all the staff are great, the nurturing environment is exceptional, the variety of activities is superb, the cosmopolitan nature and inclusivity is exceptional and the food - well my daughter
eats so much at preschool.id recommend the setting to any parent. The best part, is the continual improvement of the nursery. They are always improving and looking at raising the bar.

My daughter goes 2 days a week, it has helped her confidence, builds relationship with other children. The activities she does there are very good. The food there is nutritious. The staff are always very friendly when I go to pick her up.
20 March 2025
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.
01 August 2024
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.
