  We’ve had a really positive experience at Busy Bees. The team are warm, caring, and clearly passionate about what they do. Communication is great and we always feel informed and reassured. It’s a nurturing, well-run environment where children are genuinely cared for. As a working mum, that peace of mind is invaluable.

  We had previously had our son in this nursery. We feel like we’ve been strung along for months with a mandatory visit and lots of back and forth with many days (if not longer) between replies as management appear to be absent or otherwise unable to cope due to maternity leave of a senior staff member. We are more than disappointed to have been told today that “Unfortunately, all available spaces for our Preschool room have now gone. We currently have a waiting list til next year. Please let me know if you would like to go on the waiting list.” These are childrens’ futures, and our treatment here has been appalling - we could have sorted this in an afternoon months ago. I really hope Busy Bees will have a long hard look at how they have handled our son’s case here.

  We couldn’t be happier with Busy Bees Mill Hill. The staff are a delightful bunch of humans who are genuinely passionate about what they do. Our family had a particularly tough start into nursery life after our son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at 12 months old. He was told by his childminder she could no longer manage the responsibility that came with the condition which led me and my husband to begin a search for new childcare. We visited several places slightly closer to home before finding Busy Bees and without question, their understanding and quality of care from the offset was incomparable to what we had previously experienced. There is a lot of work that goes into management of diabetes - counting carbs, injecting insulin, watching glucose numbers, finger pricking and the rest. The team were open and willing to go above and beyond to learn everything in order to keep my son safe. We maintained an excellent level of communication in the early weeks and now I can go to work knowing he is living his best toddler life with a dream team of people who adore and care for him - a real extension of family. Donna, Faye and Denise are the queens of the office. They run everything like clockwork (and having spent a good chunk of time in their presence watching them operate, I’m in awe of their multi tasking and management skills!) Anjali (aka Mummy) is my sons favourite person. Whilst he will happily leap into the arms of any one of the girls at the door for drop off, Anjali has formed a special bond with him which fills me with joy when I see their interactions! Anjali, Olivia, Elsa and Dionna have worked to develop my son in areas where he had lagged behind during his break from nursery. There has been a considerable development in his speech, mobility, communication and interactions with both adults and other children. Kirsty and Cici make varied and nutritious food that my son adores (and I could only dream of getting him to eat at home). They have also taken extra measures to ensure the carbs in his meals are carefully calculated so that he has the right amount of insulin to manage his glucose levels. I rarely feel passionate enough to leave a review for anything but the whole team at Busy Bees made a really difficult time in our life so much easier to bear so I felt it necessary to share my experiences. The team are kind, accommodating, problem solving and genuinely just lovely people to deal with. I cannot recommend this nursery enough.
