Overall Experience

All three of my children have attended Busy Bees in Mill Hill. Like all nurseries, it has at points, had its up and downs, but the team who have been in charge over the last year, have truly been fabulous and I am so grateful and happy for all the work they have put into making the nursery such a wonderful and safe place to send my son, who is there at the moment. Highly recommend.

Overall Experience

All three of my children have attended this nursery and have thrived, as they passed through the baby room, through to the toddler rooms. The nursery is friendly, well managed and clean and the facilities are excellent. The key workers really care about each child and focus on their development individually.

Overall Experience

I cannot recommend Busy Bees more. Such an amazing nursery with amazing staff. My son is 2 years old and he loves going to nursery. The staff are so lovely, caring and cheerful. They do a lot of different activities, on a daily basis and share them with us through an app. I have tried a few different nurseries, in different areas, but none of them beat Busy Bees. Thank you for loving and caring for my child, it’s very much appreciated.

My son has been at Busy Bees since September 2021 and is so happy there. It took a while for him to settle, but the staff were absolutely amazing and he now skips in and doesn’t look back! (Which is what I wanted!).

Overall Experience

I cannot rate Busy Bees in Mill Hill, highly enough. The staff are incredible. Warm, friendly, nurturing and caring. They have helped us immensely and I would not hesitate to recommend the setting to anyone considering their little one. The activities my 3-year-old gets to enjoy are just great. We have had visits from the fire brigade, in their fire engine, to weekly cooking sessions. It’s all just great!

Review from Lucy R (Mother of Child) published on 1 November 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

This is the warmest and friendliest of nurseries with a wonderful, exceptionally kind and highly dedicated team of staff. They look after the children with endless care, dedication and professionalism. They listen to feedback and always take it on board. My children - both past and present attendees - are met with huge smiles and genuine affection each morning. You can tell that the staff treats their roles as a vocation rather than a day job. Many have worked there for a long time, which speaks volumes in an industry which often has a high turnover of professionals. We feel so very lucky to have been able to send our children here and to continue to do so.

Overall Experience

We could not be happier with Busy Bees Mill Hill. We feel that our son gets love and care as well as guidance to learn and grow. He always comes out with a smile on his face and is constantly talking about the things he did at nursery. We’re looking forward to our second son joining him later this year.

Review from Sunni P (Father of Child) published on 3 March 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has been attending this nursery since she was 18 months
The directors are great. Always thinking of new ideas and ways to engage the children.
Especially during this difficult period due to the pandemic, they are always implementing new procedures to ensure the safety of all the children. Most importantly every day they welcome all kids with a smile and open arms, small things like this go a long way
My daughter is so attached to her teachers and they do all they can to keep the children entertained as well as focusing on their development
They have recently introduced an app so we can view what our daughter does during the day, showcase her work and also lets us know what she ate and how much.
I've been waiting for something like this for ages and glad they finally have the app. We can also upload photos and information from the weekend

Highly recommend this nursery

Review from Sarah D (Mother of Child) published on 25 February 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has been attending Busy Bees at Mill Hill for the past year and loves going to nursery every morning.
The staff are so friendly and welcoming. Most mornings we are greeted by one of the directors who are always smiling and there to wish us a good morning.
My daughter has nothing but lovely things to say about the rest of the staff at the nursery and how much she loves going there.
I can also see how much hard work is being put in by the staff to get my daughter ready for school in September.
She comes home most days having learnt something new.

I also want to mention the great feedback system they have in place as I am constantly updated through an app with my daughter’s daily activities. This makes me feel like I am still very much part of her day.

We were really worried about our 13-month-old starting in lockdown but the team were so understanding and let us change to half days to get her settled in. She is now very happy and the team have offered me support and advice for home sleeping issues, going above and beyond.

The constant positive attitude of the staff is amazing, always happy to help and extremely flexible with the scheduling.
Our child is always happy to be there and arrives with a smile every time we get to the front door without fail.
Her learning and interaction have vastly improved.

Truly an amazing nursery.

Review from Teresa F (Mother of Child) published on 24 February 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter started in July 2020 aged 18 months. She is now 2 and 1 month and has flourished. She is given a great range of activities to do during the day, and I look forward to reading her daily report, and also seeing her beaming smile when I collect her.

I chose Busy Bees at mill Hill upon recommendation, and I have in turn recommended the nursery to other friends who have sent their children. The teachers and staff are wonderful; they work extremely hard, especially in these uncertain times, and they never complain or falter. I feel completely at ease knowing that my daughter is well cared for.

Our son has been going to Busy Bees at Mill Hill for the past 2 years. He is so happy at the nursery and loves all the staff. He has developed wonderfully there. The staff are warm, welcoming and can’t do enough to help. I have been particularly impressed with their handling of the pandemic and would not hesitate to recommend the nursery. We look forward to sending our youngest son soon.

Lovely, kind and well informed in the EYFS, the ladies working here. It’s obvious that they have the child as the focus of all they do. Really happy I choose for my son to go to Busy Bees at Mill Hill. They have been really encouraging and patient, particularly around my son's additional speech needs.

Review from Rachel N (Mother of Child) published on 24 February 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We could not be happier with Busy Bees at Mill Hill. The management team as well as the wider team have been excellent in this difficult period.

We see the enthusiasm that they show towards our boys right from the moment they greet them both early in the morning through to when we come back to pick them up; that can’t help but be infectious! They love the team and they absolutely love being there, it’s just so nice as a parent to see how happy and comfortable they are there besides the great learning and progression we see. It makes drop off so easy. Thank you!

My son is happy at Busy Bees at Mill Hill. The staff are great with him and good at distracting him in the mornings when we leave him. He gets up to lots of fun and educational activities during the day like making telescopes, cooking, playing on bikes, role play etc.

The nursery staff are lovely and welcoming. My son has been there since he was 8 months old and he loves it! It has also helped him be confident and appropriately independent in his development. The food is also very good and varied. We love Busy Bees at Mill Hill.

We have been extremely happy with Busy Bees at Mill Hill. Our children (aged almost 4 and almost 2) have been there for about 6 months now and they absolutely love it. The staff are so incredibly warm, kind and nurturing which makes it such a fantastic place to send the kids. They run in to nursery excited each morning and come out so happy which is a credit to the staff. We definitely made the right decision and highly recommend Busy Bees at Mill Hill to others.
