Busy Bees Mill Hill

My son has been attending Busy Bees at Mill Hill for nearly three months now. Sending him back to nursery after the first lockdown wasn’t a decision we, as parents, took without hesitation, but every single member of staff we interacted with has shown such a welcoming, friendly and happy attitude that made everything feel normal and safe. He is happy, settled, has made friends, talks a lot about his time at nursery; we absolutely trust that he is in a safe environment and very well cared for, and for that, I want to thank everyone at Busy Bees at Mill Hill.

My daughter has a fantastic time each day.

We absolutely love Busy Bees at Mill Hill! The Manager and Centre Director are amazing, very professional and always have time to speak to parents about their little ones. My daughter started Busy Bees when she was 8 months old - it is my second child and we had a bit of a bumpy ride with my first one and her journey through various nurseries and so naturally I was little nervous but from very first interaction over the phone with the Manager through seeing how my daughter is happy and looked after on daily basis, I see that Busy Bees is a cut above the rest! The Centre Director is always on it - knowing each child by his/her name, and making sure they are just happy and healthy - just like children should be. Due to Covid and various restrictions we were unable to fully meet the team but even socially-distanced 'hi-bye' with the members of the team (ladies from the actual kiddies rooms) makes you feel like they are here to help you, the extended family every mama needs.

Both of my children have attended this nursery for a combination of the last 5 years and I am so impressed with how things are being run during the pandemic. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Busy Bees to anyone.

I have a little girl at Busy Bees and she is excited to go every day. The staff are so warm and friendly! She always comes out smiling at the end of the day, for me this is the most important thing. My daughter learns something new every day and I believe is a good start for her! I would recommend the nursery for all!

He has made such excellent progress and I really enjoy reading about his day with a daily report. Covid hasn’t really hindered our daily communication, and even our ‘parents evening’ took place on the phone.

My child has attended Busy Bees Mill Hill for almost 3 years since she was 9 months old. I have found exemplary care in her welfare and nothing that gave me cause for alarm. The staff work very hard to make the nursery a great place for the children, giving them a good foundation of early years, teaching and curriculum, but most importantly for me the care and attention that makes nursery a home away from home. If I could choose again I would choose Busy Bees.

My eldest has been at the nursery for 2.5 years and over that time it’s gone from strength to strength, especially so in the last year. Sending both children back after the lockdown was an anxious time as a parent, but the staff were warm and welcoming and it was so much easier because of their hard work and dedication to the children. Both children are very happy, settled and look forward to their days at nursery. The current team are simply fantastic, full of fun ideas and always available for a chat if needed. I’d certainly recommend Busy Bees Mill Hill to any prospective parent.

My daughter has just started at Busy Bees at Mill Hill 4 weeks ago and we are already thrilled with her progress, she is speaking a lot more and we have noticed a lot more confidence in her.

All the staff are so friendly and it really feels like a family environment.

I have two boys at Busy Bees and they are excited to go. Every time. My oldest had been there nearly 4 years, and my youngest, a year a half. The staff are what makes this place. The facilities have all been recently renovated, but even before, it feels like home for them. The staff are consistent (which for me was a massive factor) brilliant people who all have great sense of humour and want the best for each individual child. Both of my children come home beaming from their days, even before they could communicate, with lots of artwork, activities and the feedback is brilliant. The staff are motivated, caring and absolutely brilliant.

My boys have been attending Mill Hill Busy Bees for the past two years and have always been happy. The staff are lovely and the new management over the last six months or so have been solid. I would definitely recommend the nursery.

I have been a Busy Bees parent for nearly three years, with my eldest currently in preschool and my youngest now in the 1-2 room. Both children have always loved going to nursery, with my eldest regularly saying she loves her friends and teachers. They always come out smiling at the end of the day! All the adults are friendly, caring and really get to know the children. There is now a strong management team who really listen to parent feedback and continue to make improvements as needed. I feel my children’s development is well supported and my daughter is ready to start school in September. She is going to really miss Busy Bees!

I'm really grateful to the nursery for having such a solid educational programme as well. My son learns something new every day and I believe he is in a really good place to start big school in September. We'll be really sad to say goodbye to the Busy Bees team.

My son enjoys going to nursery every day, the staff are very caring and l as a mother I am very proud of my little one's progress.

My little girl started Busy Bees when she was 9 months old. Going back to work made that much easier knowing I was leaving her in such good care.

I have loved watching her develop and grow with each room she moves into. From the nursing environment of the baby room to the adventurers in 1-2's and becoming more confident in 2-3. Each stage she loved and I have never worried about my daughter's care and love. What more could I ask for?!

Nurturing environment, with a personal touch. Everyone knows my son's name and after a relatively short adaptation period, he has made friends. We have noticed he is also eating better and pleased to hear he tries lots of different food.

The outside play area is excellent, especially during the summer. In terms of activities, we are pleased that he does lots of care, which he brings home, and goes on bug trails outside.

Busy Bees Mill Hill is a home from home for me. The warmth and care of the staff are outstanding and I know my children are in safe hands. I can see great development in both my children from confidence, interaction and learning. I will and have recommended it to both friends and family.

Now one of my children is in the 1-2s room and the other in the 2-3s room. The children are nurtured so well and are happy and confident to come to nursery.

The professionalism and patience the staff show is amazing and the rooms are always calm with all the children happy and engaged (an amazing feat considering the nature of toddlers)! What makes this nursery special is the professional and knowledgeable staff, who go above and beyond to develop the children in their care. The staff have an amazing trick of teaching the children, without them knowing they are learning and ensuring the teaching is led by the child's interests. A lovely nursery!

Highly recommend this nursery.

I have never seen my daughter this happy before, sometimes when I pick her up earlier than usual she feels sad as she wants to play more and stay with her friends - which is quite surprising as she used to be a girl who always wanted to cling onto mommy and always used to cry when I dropped her off at nursery. Personality wise, this nursery has made so many improvements in my daughter in the course of just 10 months and that's what makes us happy and satisfied.
