Busy Bees Mardley Hill

This is a wonderful nursery. Warm, bright, well equipped and well maintained. Above all, the staff are fantastic - all extremely professional and friendly towards me as a parent, and I can tell my daughter adores the staff in her room. She only attends 1 morning per week, and only for 4 months so far, but talks about her key worker during the week with me (only 18 months so just tells me she wants to give her a cuddle!) Could not be happier with the service for both myself and my daughter.

My granddaughter absolutely loved this nursery - she was always made to feel very welcome and the staff team were absolutely fantastic! My granddaughter has now left for primary school and they too can see how much she has benefited from the fantastic care and education within Busy Bees Mardley Hill - thank you to the whole team, I really appreciate all you have done for her....and us!

We couldn't have found a better nursery for our daughter. She loves going there. Every member of staff knows every child's name and genuinely cares. I have seen such growth since she has been there, both mentally and physically.

The family atmosphere is obvious from the minute you walk in the door and as soon as we did, we knew it was the right place. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a safe, happy place for their child to learn and grow. The food is also amazing! Thank you.

I moved my daughter to Mardley Hill from another nursery last September and immediately noticed a huge change in my daughter's happiness.

The staff and managers are exceptional, so friendly and generally very happy people. They are incredibly attentive and professional and have many long-standing staff members, which makes the nursery feel like a family.

All meals are prepared and cooked freshly on site, and are nutritious and healthy; The cook has catered to my daughter's food allergies seamlessly.

All the staff who care for my daughter treat her as an individual, encouraging her to develop her own personality and interests, and they look after her with such warmth and attention.

I cannot recommend Mardley Hill Busy Bees highly enough. This nursery, in addition to being 'outstanding' in all the way you would expect, is also a rare gem.

It is hard to put into words how grateful we are as parents for the support, care and welcome the nursery has shown to our daughter and also to us.

My oldest son attended the nursery between 2013 and 2016. His younger brother has been attending the nursery since 2016. The nursery has great opening hours and doesn't fine you for being late, unlike other nurseries which is a great relief for a working parent trying hard to juggle work and children. The nursery staff is truly amazing, warm, kind, caring and genuinely interested in your child. Some members of staff have been working there for years.

The nursery manager shows great leadership and ensures that every member of team upholds the nursery values. The children do a wide range of activities as they progress through the nursery. Once they reach pre-school academy (around 3 years old) they can do French, multi-sports. A company specialising in teaching children about the environment and wildlife comes to the nursery regularly and brings small creatures (frogs, insects, etc) for children to see. Over the last five years, the nursery became like a family to us.

This nursery is simply outstanding. My wife and I felt very nervous about placing our child in a nursery during our long working weeks. However, from our initial open day visit, we felt the warmth and care that everyone at Busy Bees has and exudes in abundance! Putting our child into nursery at Busy Bees Mardley Hill was absolutely the best decision we could have made.

Everyone is so friendly and they do everything possible to make our child feel at home (which she does). The nursery has a very homely, relaxed feel which others we visited did not. Our child has grown in confidence and developed amazingly in the 6 months she has been there. Certainly the best nursery around and deserves a 10/10 rating!

The best nursery I have ever encountered. The whole staff team are undoubtedly the most dedicated and driven of individuals - together they ensure our children receive the very best every day. The meals are fantastic and very nutritionally balanced, the facilities are also great and include a fabulous outdoor area which the children visit numerous times every day. The manager is very professional and easy to approach her senior team are also nothing short of amazing. There really is no wonder this nursery achieved an outstanding grading from Ofsted for the second time - they truly deserve this.

My son returned to the Nursery in May after treatment for a brain tumour, which has left him with some physical disabilities. The Nursery has been fantastic in supporting my son (and us as a family) and his integration into preschool, ensuring he has everything he needs from equipment to outstanding care and love. The Nursery team have worked seamlessly with physios, hearing specialists and speech and language experts to ensure staff are able to help him the best way they can. The Nursery team have blown my expectations out of the water and we are so grateful for everything they are doing for my son. If you’re looking for a nursery where your child will receive outstanding care in a happy, supportive environment Busy Bees Mardley Hill is for you.

Our daughter has been at the nursery now for over 6 months and not only settled quickly but has grown really fond of the staff. The staff here are fantastic - really engaging and friendly.

They use an app to keep parents up to date with how your child is doing over the course of the day - everything from nappy changes to meal times and photo updates of activities as well. This is great for us as both of us work in London.

The baby room staff are amazing and having just moved up to the middle room, the transition has been handled really well. She got to know all of the staff across the rooms right from the off and they all know her and say hello when they see her. The staff are equally good with us as parents, discussing any observations, always taking time to just say hi and a quick chat, and running lots of shared parent / child events to make sure they get to know you as well as the child (I don't know how they fit all of the Christmas events in!)

My wife and I are delighted with the nursery and how much our daughter is enjoying her time here. To a person, the staff are excellent and caring and genuine in their interest in all children. I can't recommend the nursery highly enough.

We are really pleased with this fantastic nursery for both our children. The quality of care and support showed to the children is outstanding. Our son has been at the nursery well over a year now and has come in leaps and bounds in confidence and developmentally too. Our daughter has just started and I could not imagine leaving her anywhere else.

Amazing space for our child to grow. Staff are exceptional and care deeply for the children and parents. We moved our son here from other ‘outstanding’ nursery and the difference was huge, this place really knows how to provide top care and do so consistently. All the staff have been there for years and are passionate about pushing themselves. Recommend to anyone!

I would 100% recommend this nursery. My grandson attends the setting and he absolutely adores going, he gets excited when he wakes up in the morning and his mum says "We are going to Busy Bees today". He is always welcomed in the door by all staff and also when he goes into his base room. There are always plenty of activities for him to participate within which help his development. I have been shown the online Learning Journal and it is amazing with photos updated throughout the day as well as his meal, sleep and nappy changes. His key person is amazing and is a very long-standing member of staff. I have also been invited into the nursery for grandparents afternoon tea. If you are looking for a great nursery then this is definitely the one for you - go and view it as once you see it you will not want your child to go anywhere else.

A happy nursery with busy, engaged kids and energetic, enthusiastic staff. My son settled in quickly and easily.

This is an absolute gem of a nursery and the care my son has received thus far has been exceptional. Every staff member that I have had contact with has had a very caring approach and extremely professional. The nursery creates a warm, loving and trusting environment and I always feel very reassured by the staff. They all go out of their way to be accommodating to try and help the parents as much as they can in their capacity. I would like to thank them all for the wonderful care they have given my son, and I can not recommend them strongly enough!

My daughter has been going to Busy Bees at Mardley Hill since September and what can I say except she absolutely loves it there. My family and I have seen a massive improvement in every area and can see how much her confidence has grown. The manager and her staff make you feel so welcome and my daughter is not afraid to be left in the mornings, she just wants to go play with her friends. Her mathematics and counting have come along so well in these last three months and I continue to see her grow as a person. I'm very impressed and all I can say is thank you Mardley Hill for everything you do.

Our son is very happy here and looks forward to going every morning. Very happy with our choice of nursery. It’s a lovely environment and a lovely kind team.

If you are looking for a superb, friendly, warm and ultimately outstanding nursery for your precious child then this is the one for you! I honestly cannot praise this nursery enough.

Years down the line and the Busy Bee staff have grown to become family. They gave her the same love and care I gave her at home, they nurtured her needs. They went above and beyond, even buying a special carpet so she is able to concentrate. As a mother, you always want the best for your child and I wish I could duplicate Mardley Hill so that parents all over the nation can give their kids a great start in education. Our daughter is 4 and able to read, she enjoys primary school and very confident all because of Busy Bees.

The finest nursery my children have been to. Caring staff, great activities, fantastic management, good food and an overall impression that they actually care about my girls, not view them as customers.

If they have availability, which can be an issue as they are so popular, I cannot recommend them highly enough.
