At Montessori by Busy Bees Enfield, we create a warm and welcoming environment where children are encouraged to explore, discover and develop their independence. Our Montessori approach puts each child at the centre of their learning, giving them the freedom to follow their interests and learn through meaningful, hands-on experiences.

Our recently refurbished nursery provides carefully prepared spaces where children can learn, play and grow with confidence. From our inviting garden and allotment to our Montessori materials and child-led activities, every part of the environment is designed to encourage curiosity, creativity and a lifelong love of learning.

Our Montessori Bee Curious Curriculum brings together the principles of Montessori education with the curiosity-led approach of Bee Curious. Children are encouraged to make choices, explore their interests and develop skills at their own pace, with our team providing guidance and encouragement when needed.

Our carefully prepared environments feature purposeful Montessori materials that support concentration, coordination, problem-solving and practical life skills. Children can also take part in Seed to Plate learning in our allotment, helping to grow fruit and vegetables and discovering the journey from planting a seed to enjoying the produce they've helped to grow.

Our spacious garden provides another environment for children to explore, with opportunities for outdoor play, physical development and discovering the natural world. We also offer onsite parking and a dedicated buggy store, making everyday drop-offs and collections easier for families.

Located close to Enfield Town Centre and the leafy surroundings of Forty Hall, our nursery is ideally situated for families across Enfield and the surrounding areas. Forty Hall, a beautiful Jacobean manor house steeped in local history, provides a wonderful landmark close to the nursery. We also benefit from excellent transport links, with easy access to the London Overground, M25 and A10, as well as the 191 bus route, making us a convenient choice for families commuting by car or public transport.

We also believe that strong partnerships with parents and carers are an important part of your child's nursery experience. By working closely with families and maintaining open communication, we can ensure every child feels supported and understood.

Our son has been attending for nearly a year now and we couldn't be happier. He initially found it tough adapting to a new environment but the whole team were so supportive and gave us great advice on how we can help to get settled. Daniel, the manager, was incredibly supportive and flexible with us to make it work for our son. The team are all great and I couldn't say anything but good things about our experience.

All the staff are amazing. It is always clean and they give great attention and love to the children. My daughter has a fantastic time there and is happy. ❤️

My daughter Vianna attends this place I am extremely happy with all the teachers there She learns something new every day .Clean and cozy. Thank you for taking care of my daughter ❤️

Centred around your child's interests and pace, we combine purposeful play with a carefully designed curriculum that fosters curiosity and confidence. Bee Curious guides every moment in our nursery, from caring routines to planned activities, placing the unique child and their key person at the heart of learning. From encouraging independence at mealtimes, to supporting friendships in the playground, to celebrating every milestone with enthusiasm, our curriculum sparks a love of learning from the very beginning.

Developed by industry-leading experts and using over 40 years of global expertise

Using role play and storytelling to strengthen communication

Exploring art, music and movement

Developing physical coordination and confidence

Our teams nurture your child's curiosity and confidence, preparing them not just for school, but for life. We do this by:

Early reading and writing through phonics, storytelling and mark-making activities

Hands-on, purposeful play to encourage critical thinking and curiosity.

Strengthening focus and listening skills with guided group learning sessions.
