September 5, 2024 at 10:28 pmMount Carmel is extremely well run, with a strong family ethos. Each kid is greeted by name as they arrive with big smiles and are made to sense so special. Team are consistently accessible to answer questions. The app is remarkable – the photos and messages give us such a lovely insight into our son’s day. Overall Mount Carmel is a fantastic, nurturing, stimulating childcare centre with attentive team who take an interest in every kid. We would not hesitate to suggest Mount Carmel! We could not have found a more fantastic childcare centre for our son to spend his pre-school years.

September 8, 2024 at 3:51 pmThe inviting family ethos and secure setting is enhanced by team, including management, facilities, resources, activities, cleanliness and value for money. I will like to add prompt updates and close corroboration with parents. Also, flexibility and sensitive adjustments to individual kid needs to enable them to thrive emotionally while achieving skills for life.
Our son couldn’t be happier elsewhere!
Thank you! Home from home, this is Mount Carmel for my family, and I am sure for many families over the years!

September 20, 2024 at 6:43 pmShe has grown in self‑assurance, made new friends and enjoys a huge variety of activities such as cooking and crafts. At the end of each day, she consistently chats excitedly about her experiences. Regular detailed feedback, approachable team, remarkable facilities and garden, a enjoyable holiday club and well-planned and resourced sessions, ensure kids are engaged and cheerful. We are so grateful to Mount Carmel Kindergarten for providing a fantastic pre-school setting for our daughter.

September 22, 2024 at 11:47 amMy son runs in now and obviously loves his afternoons there. My husband and I are very satisfied with the care and assistance from the lovely team at Mount Carmel Kindergarten.

October 4, 2024 at 6:43 pmMy once clingy son has blossomed into a confident, chatty, compassionate and sensitive kid who is curious, loves discovering and loves socialising. The nurturing setting that Mount Carmel provides is exactly what you want for your kid. The team are so attentive and diverse. Being a family-run business means that the care they provide for your kid and for you as parents is second to none. We had a bereavement at the end of term and the assistance and empathy they provided my son *and even to us*, to help cope, was invaluable and will never be forgotten.
We are so thankful to Mount Carmel Kindergarten for everything they have done to help give my son the best start to life. Where do I start?

October 12, 2024 at 2:35 amIt is so reassuring to see them form such special friendships and flourish into cheerful, confident kids that thoroughly enjoying going to childcare centre. My kids settled very quickly at the setting because the team are all so lovely and nurturing. They’re outstanding and we are going to really miss the Mount Carmel family when it is time to say goodbye. Mount Carmel has been a positive journey for my kids as well as us as parents.

October 15, 2024 at 5:33 amWe are so grateful for the compassionate and loving assistance he has received over the past few months, we couldn’t be happier he is at Mount Carmel. It is so lovely to see his smile and delight going into childcare centre and his fantastic relationship with his one-on-one teacher. His speech has improved too which is incredible! Massive thank you to the team at Mount Carmel for going above and beyond in making our son sense so included and comfortable in your setting. We were very worried about our son going to childcare centre and how he would cope, how the team would manage him and his particular needs.

October 21, 2024 at 11:45 amShe absolutely loves it at Mount Carmel and cried at weekends when I say it’s not a childcare centre day, if that is not a testament to how fab a childcare centre is then I don’t know what is! A huge thank you to all the team for creating such a loving and attentive setting. My daughter’s development has been incredible and I can see the growth and changes in her on a daily basis. The range of activities really gives kids the exposure they need to develop. It’s truly a home away from home. I could not ask for a better childcare centre for my daughter.

November 30, 2024 at 7:26 pmI cannot fault the team and management team and daily/weekly communications through the online app are exemplary.
Thank you Mount Carmel for everything you have done for my kids. Both my kids have attended Mount Carmel and have thoroughly enjoyed their time there.
My daughter is in the preschool year and will be very sad to leave such a loving and nurturing setting.
She particularly loves the weekly cooking sessions, ‘show and tell’ and performing in the Christmas nativity playtime!

December 10, 2024 at 8:15 pmThey have both loved every minute of it. I sent my daughter a year earlier than my son as she was born in lockdown and I didn’t want her to struggle with leaving me, making friends or discovering and she has come on leaps and bounds. The attentive and nurturing team are incredible and have now, over the years, become our friends. I would highly suggest. After sending my son to Mount Carmel, I consistently new I would send my daughter as well.

December 30, 2024 at 8:45 amOur eldest has made remarkable development especially in his language and social development where he was experiencing some delays prior to attending. Mount Carmel Kindergarten has consistently been so nurturing of him and supportive with our entire family, and I know our wider family are consistently impressed that the team remember all our kids’s names. Having grown up in St Albans, I consistently wanted to send my kids to Mount Carmel Kindergarten, and I am so glad I have had the opportunity to do so. We have just had our third kid and like the other two will be signing her up shortly!

January 27, 2025 at 11:00 pmI can’t adequately express how inviting and family-like this childcare centre is, more than any childcare centre I’ve ever seen, it feels like the team are creating one big family. Every single member of team is engaging, supportive and loves the kids; they seem to delight in the days and the activities as much as the kids do! The activities are so broad; cooking, singing time, country walks, painting, phonics to name a few.
The day is structured in a way that the kids know what is coming next, which gives them the security and freedom to explore within that. Discovering is hands-on and through playtime. Kids are supported to explore and learn at their own pace, doing the things that they adore doing. Mount Carmel prepares them for school in a enjoyable and enjoyable way.
I have watched my kid grow and develop in their care, she loves to go to childcare centre school and talks about it all the time! Both my kids have now been at Mount Carmel Childcare centre – my youngest is there now in her preschool year.

January 29, 2025 at 12:28 amIt is a very nurturing setting, team attend to each individual kid’s needs. My son has settled in very well and consistently comes running out with a big smile.
My eldest son attended Mount Carmel Kindergarten and has recently started primary school. I believe Mount Carmel Kindergarten prepared him really well for the transition. I cannot suggest Mount Carmel Kindergarten enough, everyone is so welcoming and attentive towards the kids.

March 9, 2025 at 1:19 pmFrom day one we noticed a big difference in him compared to how he was at previous nurseries. He runs in with a big smile and consistently comes home cheerful and wants to keep playing, he excitedly tells us what he did on the day and he bonded really well with the educators and team. We also adore the app, it’s nice to see photos and be able to communicate with his educators. Thanks so much for looking after him so well! We are very cheerful with Mount Carmel Kindergarten and are so thankful that we were able to get a place for our son a few months ago.

April 5, 2025 at 6:50 amIt’s fantastic seeing our daughter get excited about going to pre-school here. The educators really make an effort to engage the kids and develop them in a very individualised way. The management is really committed to providing a secure, enjoyable, and loving setting and we’re very thankful to the whole team. Incredible team with so much heart and attentive mindset.

April 30, 2025 at 12:53 pmMy daughter is currently in her second year and my youngest is due to start in September.
I couldn’t suggest this childcare centre/pre-school highly enough. They are the perfect combination of expert and attentive.
Throughout our two year journey so far all of the teaching team have been exceptional. I receive updates on my daughter’s developmental achievements and she loves telling me about the pictures they send home to summarise her day.
She settled straight away as their confident staffing team made her sense secure and loved. The facilities are exceptional. The rooms that the kids rotate around mean that they never get bored (library, art room, gym, garden ect).
Every morning my daughter wakes up and asks if it’s a school day in hope. I couldn’t ask for more. Mount Carmel Kindergarten is an outstanding childcare centre.

May 17, 2025 at 8:37 pmAll team seem so engaged with the kids. My daughter loves going to childcare centre every morning – a parent could ask for nothing more! Lovely childcare centre, my daughter settled in so well with the help of remarkable educators.

May 27, 2025 at 9:27 pmIt is set in a secure, secluded setting with ample lovely surroundings for my kid to go on a weekly woodland walk. The team are highly qualified and were accommodating to my kid’s specific needs. The setting itself is to a high specification and well organised. My first thoughts when having a personal guided tour was that it was beautifully and uniquely laid out and had really considered everything including sheltered outdoor space for my kids to playtime under if it rains. My kid especially enjoys the singing time at the end of each day. I cannot suggest this childcare centre enough as my kids truly flourished and thrived whilst spending two years here. Kinder Lodge was my only consideration when looking for a childcare centre for my kids.

June 9, 2025 at 11:06 amIt is a enjoyable, bright and positive setting that provides an outstanding backdrop for effective discovering and development. The teaching team are enthusiastic, expert, nurturing and attentive and we would highly suggest Mount Karmel Kindergarten to others. We have been super impressed with Mount Karmel Kindergarten since our son joined in September.

June 26, 2025 at 3:50 amNot only has our son’s academic and personal development come along tenfold, but he is also consistently cheerful and excited to attend. Simply put, it is the best independent childcare centre in Hertfordshire! Mount Carmel provides nothing but exceptional care in a nurturing setting with stellar early years education.
