February 18, 2020 at 12:00 amWe could not have found a more wonderful nursery for our son to spend his pre-school years. Mount Carmel is extremely well run, with a strong family ethos. Each child is greeted by name as they arrive with big smiles and are made to feel so special. Staff are always accessible to answer questions. The app is fantastic – the photos and messages give us such a lovely insight into our son’s day. Overall Mount Carmel is a wonderful, nurturing, stimulating nursery with caring staff who take an interest in every child. We would not hesitate to recommend Mount Carmel!

March 27, 2020 at 12:00 amWe have been super impressed with Mount Karmel Kindergarten since our son joined in September. It is a fun, bright and positive environment that provides an excellent backdrop for effective learning and development. The teaching staff are enthusiastic, professional, nurturing and caring and we would highly recommend Mount Karmel Kindergarten to others.

August 27, 2020 at 12:00 amWe have just had our third child and like the other two will be signing her up shortly! Our eldest has made fantastic progress especially in his language and social development where he was experiencing some delays prior to attending. Mount Carmel Kindergarten has always been so nurturing of him and supportive with our entire family, and I know our wider family are always impressed that the staff remember all our children’s names. Having grown up in St Albans, I always wanted to send my children to Mount Carmel Kindergarten, and I am so glad I have had the opportunity to do so.

December 11, 2020 at 12:00 amI cannot recommend Mount Carmel Kindergarten enough, everyone is so friendly and caring towards the children. It is a very nurturing environment, staff attend to each individual child’s needs. My son has settled in very well and always 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.

December 29, 2020 at 12:00 amWe are very happy with Mount Carmel Kindergarten and are so thankful that we were able to get a place for our son a few months ago. From 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 always comes home happy and wants to keep playing, he excitedly tells us what he did on the day and he bonded really well with the teachers and staff. We also love the app, it’s nice to see photos and be able to communicate with his teachers. Thanks so much for looking after him so well!

January 15, 2021 at 12:00 amI could not ask for a better nursery for my daughter. She absolutely loves it at Mount Carmel and cried at weekends when I say it’s not a nursery day, if that is not a testament to how fab a nursery is then I don’t know what is! A huge thank you to all the staff for creating such a loving and caring environment. My daughter’s development has been amazing and I can see the growth and changes in her on a daily basis. The range of activities really gives children the exposure they need to develop. It’s truly a home away from home.

March 10, 2021 at 12:00 amBoth my children have now been at Mount Carmel Nursery – my youngest is there now in her preschool year.
I can’t adequately express how warm and family-like this nursery is, more than any nursery I’ve ever seen, it feels like the staff are creating one big family. Every single member of staff is engaging, supportive and loves the children; they seem to enjoy the days and the activities as much as the children 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 children know what is coming next, which gives them the security and freedom to explore within that. Learning is hands-on and through play. Children are supported to explore and learn at their own pace, doing the things that they love doing. Mount Carmel prepares them for school in a fun and enjoyable way.
I have watched my child grow and develop in their care, she loves to go to nursery school and talks about it all the time!

August 1, 2021 at 12:00 amWhere do I start? My once clingy son has blossomed into a confident, chatty, kind and sensitive child who is curious, loves learning and loves socialising. The nurturing environment that Mount Carmel provides is exactly what you want for your child. The staff are so caring and diverse. Being a family-run business means that the care they provide for your child and for you as parents is second to none. We had a bereavement at the end of term and the support 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.

January 17, 2022 at 12:00 amMount Carmel has been a positive experience for my children as well as us as parents. It is so reassuring to see them form such special friendships and flourish into happy, confident children that thoroughly enjoying going to nursery. My kids settled very quickly at the setting because the staff are all so lovely and nurturing. They’re excellent and we are going to really miss the Mount Carmel family when it is time to say goodbye.

February 25, 2022 at 12:00 amAfter sending my son to Mount Carmel, I always new I would send my daughter as well. They 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 learning and she has come on leaps and bounds. The caring and nurturing staff are amazing and have now, over the years, become our friends. I would highly recommend.

February 25, 2022 at 12:00 amBoth my children 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 environment.
She particularly loves the weekly cooking sessions, ‘show and tell’ and performing in the Christmas nativity play!
I cannot fault the staff and management team and daily/weekly communications through the online app are exemplary.
Thank you Mount Carmel for everything you have done for my children.

February 28, 2022 at 12:00 amMount Carmel Kindergarten is an outstanding nursery. My daughter is currently in her second year and my youngest is due to start in September.
I couldn’t recommend this nursery/pre-school highly enough. They are the perfect combination of professional and caring.
Throughout our two year experience so far all of the teaching staff 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 feel safe and loved. The facilities are exceptional. The rooms that the children 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.

February 28, 2022 at 12:00 amAmazing staff with so much heart and caring mindset. It’s wonderful seeing our daughter get excited about going to pre-school here. The teachers really make an effort to engage the kids and develop them in a very individualised way. The management is really committed to providing a safe, fun, and loving environment and we’re very thankful to the whole team.

June 9, 2022 at 12:00 amMount Carmel provides nothing but exceptional care in a nurturing environment with superb early years education. Not only has our son’s academic and personal development come along tenfold, but he is also always happy and excited to attend. Simply put, it is the best independent nursery in Hertfordshire!

January 10, 2023 at 12:00 amWe are so grateful to Mount Carmel Kindergarten for providing a wonderful pre-school setting for our daughter. She has grown in confidence, made new friends and enjoys a huge variety of activities such as cooking and crafts. At the end of each day, she always chats excitedly about her experiences. Regular detailed feedback, approachable staff, fantastic facilities and garden, a fun holiday club and well-planned and resourced sessions, ensure children are engaged and happy.

January 10, 2023 at 12:00 amKinder Lodge was my only consideration when looking for a nursery for my children. It is set in a secure, secluded environment with ample beautiful surroundings for my child to go on a weekly woodland walk. The staff are highly qualified and were accommodating to my child’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 children to play under if it rains. My child especially enjoys the singing time at the end of each day. I cannot recommend this nursery enough as my children truly flourished and thrived whilst spending two years here.

January 11, 2023 at 12:00 amWe were very worried about our son going to nursery and how he would cope, how the staff would manage him and his particular needs. We are so grateful for the kind and loving support 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 nursery and his wonderful relationship with his one-on-one teacher. His speech has improved too which is amazing! Massive thank you to the staff at Mount Carmel for going above and beyond in making our son feel so included and comfortable in your setting.

February 27, 2023 at 12:00 amHome from home, this is Mount Carmel for my family, and I am sure for many families over the years! The warm family ethos and safe environment is enhanced by staff, including management, facilities, resources, activities, cleanliness and value for money. I will like to add prompt communication and close corroboration with parents. Also, flexibility and sensitive adjustments to individual child needs to enable them to thrive emotionally while achieving skills for life.
Our son couldn’t be happier elsewhere!
Thank you!
