Busy Bees Mardley Hill

Highly recommend to anyone.

These formative years are crucial in my view to lay the foundations of how a child will socialise. The manager and her team at Busy Bees are simply unsurpassable. They give so much structure, love and importantly guard rails to help our little boy. He loves being there, and I have to say that the overall experience is amazing. I may also ask for the chef to provide a doggy bag, as the food is also second to none. I could not recommend an environment for your child/children better than this place. My son will be set up for school once it arrives thanks to the care and love received here.

Both my sons go to nursery at Busy Bees (3&1), my eldest starting when he was 11 months. I have always felt at ease leaving them knowing they are in great hands. The nursery has such a welcoming environment and the staff all lovely and really personable. Both my children come away happy and content each day and I would highly recommend to other families.

My son (first born) started nursery at 9 months old when I went back to work. I was naturally very apprehensive about handing him over to someone else! I had heard from multiple and unrelated friends that they were very happy with Busy Bees and my husband and I got a really good impression when we visited as well. I have been very happy with how our son has been getting on. The staff are so kind and lovely, the food/nutrition is excellent and the activities and facilities seem very good! We would definitely recommend it!

We are thrilled that our daughter (2 years, 4 months) has settled in so well and smoothly at Busy Bees Mardley Hill.

It's been over 2 months and she seems so content, has made friends with her peers, and developed relationships with the staff and has an excellent diet, spends so much time outdoors exploring, and is taking part in so many physical and developmental activities every single day. The care, attention, and personally-tailored approach that she receives from all pre-school staff and other nursery staff has been absolutely outstanding. This truly makes our lives that bit easier during the week/work days knowing our daughter is so safe, secure, healthy, and thriving. The chef is also amazing - she has diligently created new and nutritious meals especially catered to a vegan diet.

My husband and I feel that so much of this is down to, the manager, and her approach to running the place at all levels. Thank you, we really appreciate it.

Mardley Hill is honestly a magical, unique place. Our son has been here for over a year since he was 8 months old and we still remember the day we viewed it. We were made to feel so welcome, our son was cared for while we were shown around and spent an hour with the team. Their commitment, genuine care and passion for the children’s welfare and development were readily evident in abundance. The values at the nursery are weaves into everything they do. Our son has thrived beyond belief here and it is evident he has learned and developed one dry visit. The care is holistic and the nursery support parents too where needed. They go above and beyond and we are so, so lucky to have found this special little haven to help us shape our sons early years. Makes me well up even thinking about this place and the wonderful staff!!!

Our son loves his time at Busy Bees so very much and the staff are absolutely incredible. The team are so diligent about the development of all of the children at the nursery and they make me as a parent feel so very relaxed about our sons time at nursery. I can't recommend this nursery enough and my wife and I are so very happy we made the decision to send our son to Busy Bees in Mardley Hill.

The staff are exceptionally open, kind and friendly and have become important members of our life. The Nursery offers my child many different opportunities and as a result, he comes home with fantastic new words, ideas and experiences each time. The children genuinely seem to care for each other and enjoy each others company - a nature installed by the staff. The Nursery offers lots of opportunities for parents too which has helped expand our social lives following a relatively recent move to the area. I am always sorry that I cannot stay and be looked after and fed at Mardley Hill for the day!

I can't recommend Busy Bees at Mardley Hill highly enough. My daughter attended from the age of 2.5 up until she left to start primary school, and we were so grateful to find such an exceptional nursery with such amazing management and staff. Nothing is too much trouble for them - the manager and her team took the time to really get to know my daughter and their warmth and engagement was second to none. The learning opportunities on offer were also fantastic - my daughter learned French, did every kind of sport and the kids even enjoyed visits from a chap with exciting animals! Special shout out to my daughter's key worker, who was the most kind, attentive and engaging person we could have hoped for. Busy Bees Mardley Hill is such a wonderful environment for children, and I hope it continues to go from strength to strength.

My husband and I cannot explain how much we love this nursery. Right from the first steps, they have given our son so much care and attention. It enabled us to relax knowing he was in great care! We highly recommend this nursery and all the staff. They make you feel that your child is extremely important to them and adapt their style in order to suit your child's needs. I couldn't think of how a nursery could improve! Thank you!

Thank you to all of you at Mardley Hill. It is not a wonder your lovely nursery gets the outstanding reviews it does and I would highly recommend you to other families.

Busy Bees at Mardley Hill is such a wonderful nursery. The staff and management are all so lovely and friendly. They have great relationships with the children and parents, and they always offer support and guidance. My son only attends once a week but his progress since attending at the start of the year has been amazing - his speech and understanding has improved so much and he gets to participate in such a variety of fun and educational activities. He really loves going and has settled in so well, and that is thanks to such wonderful staff. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough.

My daughter has been attending the nursery since she was 11 months. I knew the moment I first looked round, it was the perfect nursery. The staff are so friendly and feel like family. My daughter loves going to Busy Bees, the care she has received has been fantastic. She has made lots of friends and she really enjoys the routine she has at nursery and all of the fun varied activities that they do. Her development has come on leaps and bounds.

I visited quite a few nurseries before making what, to me, was a terribly important decision and Mardley Hill was the only nursery I felt comfortable with. The manager put me at ease straight away and really supported my girls' transition. I would absolutely recommend it as the nursery of choice!

An exceptional nursery. My twin sons love it there. The staff are all friendly and very approachable and genuinely care for my boys and this is reflected in how my sons talk about the staff there. I would recommend Busy Bees to any parent who wants their child to grow into a happy healthy child.

My daughter has attended Busy Bees in Welwyn for about two years now. She loves attending the nursery. The activities are well planned and varied. The food is excellent. All of the staff are brilliant. They all go out of their way to ensure the children are safe and happy.

Really homely feel throughout the nursery, from the decor and facilities but more importantly the staff. They are really friendly and our son warmed to all the team really quickly. They are great at communicating with us about what he is up to throughout the day.

Busy Bees Mardley Hill is a wonderful day nursery. Both my daughters (2 and almost 1) attend one day a week and they both blossomed as soon as they started. The facilities and the resources are excellent but it's the staff, from the top to the bottom, that takes it to the next level. The care and attention they give the children is brilliant, they create a nurturing and encouraging environment that makes the children thrive. The food is incredible and the activities for the children are really creative. My children are rarely cared for by anyone but family, especially my youngest, but Busy Bees is definitely the next best thing.

I love everything about this nursery and so does my son who has just turned 1 year old and has been attending Busy Bees Mardley Hill for about 3.5 months now. The range of activities - painting, seed planting, the range of toys, the choice of food. My son has progressed in his development since starting nursery and always seems happy (and exhausted) at the end of the day. Everyone that works there is so friendly and professional which was so reassuring at the beginning when it was quite an emotional drop-off.

Busy Bees is a wonderful nursery. The staff are all incredibly well trained and organise a large variety of activities for the children. They do lots of extra activities at Easter and Christmas which the children love and are always keen for parents to be involved. The food is incredibly high quality with lots of fruit and vegetables. All of the staff are brilliant and we couldn’t ask for a better nursery for our daughter.
