There’s a new buzz in Cricklewood this week as a brand-new nursery officially opens its doors to families, providing a nurturing and enriching environment for up to 110 children.  

Busy Bees at Cricklewood, located on Oaklands Road (near the A5 Cricklewood Broadway), provides exceptional early years education for children aged three months to five years. Offering a home-from-home environment, the nursery has been designed to spark curiosity, independence, and prepare children for school and beyond.  

The nursery is managed by Charlie Milner, an experienced early years professional with over seven years of experience. Along with his team, they have over 50 years of collective early years’ experience. To celebrate the opening, the nursery team hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony recently, welcoming colleagues to mark the special occasion.  

Busy Bees at Cricklewood is a two-storey nursery featuring bright and spacious learning environments with plenty of room for children to play and explore, including creative play areas and large outdoor spaces. The nursery also provides NHS-accredited menus, with nutritious meals freshly prepared every day on-site by the nursery’s chef. 

Children who attend the nursery will benefit from Busy Bees’ innovative curriculum Bee Curious, designed to feed children’s natural curiosity and foster a lifelong love of learning. Designed by leading early years educators and using the latest insight into cognitive science research from across the globe, Bee Curious has been designed to give every child the best start in life. 

Charlie Milner, Centre Director at Busy Bees at Cricklewood, said: “We are thrilled to officially open our doors and provide high-quality early years education and care to families in Cricklewood.  

“Our vision is to create joyful, enriching environments where children are nurtured and supported in their development. Busy Bees at Cricklewood is truly a special place and our home-from-home environments provide endless opportunities for children to learn and play. We’re looking forward to giving children the best start in life and welcoming families to our nursery!”
