Nursery in Welwyn

We’re so happy with Mila being at this nursery - she absolutely loves it! The staff are fantastic and really caring. They always follow any requirements we have and carry out brilliant educational activities with the children. It’s also great being able to see updates, photos, and details of their meals etc through the app. As soon as we viewed this nursery we knew it was the one for us! Over a year in and we couldn’t be happier with the experience so far.

Amazing nursery, might be most costly than most but 100% worth it. My son loves going in and the team especially Julie has made us so welcome

We've had two children attend Busy Bees Mardley Hill - our eldest left two years ago, and our youngest is currently in the pre-school room. Both have really enjoyed their time at nursery and we're very thankful to the team for their hard work looking after them so well. The team are always warm, friendly, and genuinely caring - our children have always spoken fondly of them, and it's clear they've built a positive relationship with them. Notably, a staff member who had been there during our eldest's time recently returned after two years - and our eldest still remembered them and their guitar, telling our youngest all about it. We like that children are outside a good amount of time and offer sports sessions which our son loves. They seem to do lots of creative activities, and engaging learning (from all the crafts they bring home and rhymes they re-tell us!). Their new app is very good - it's updated throughout the day with photos and updates, which is nice to see what they're up to.

When i was searching for a place for my daughter this was my checklist: 1) safeguarding and welfare of our child 2) cleanliness of the provision 3) curriculum 4) culture and ethos 5) community Busy Bees ticked all areas! Couldn't recommend more.

A wonderful nursery that nurtures children and allows them to flourish and grow in confidence. My eldest daughter was sad to leave when she started school and my 16 month old is always so smiley on handover and has made some lovely bonds with the staff in her room. The staff are all professional, kind and highly qualified.

Both of our children have attended this nursery over the years, and we've always felt completely confident leaving them in the care of the team. The staff have built strong, genuine relationships with our kids, and we've always been met with warmth, great communication, and a real family feel. Last year, our family went through an incredibly tough time, and the support we received from the team was nothing short of amazing. Their kindness and flexibility helped us more than they probably know, and we'll always be grateful for that. Our children have always felt safe, happy, and well cared for, and we've never had any doubt they were in good hands. Sadly, the high costs meant we had to move our eldest recently - a tough decision as the quality of care has been excellent. If we could suggest anything, it would be to include more outdoor, forest school-style activities. Overall, it's been a fantastic experience and we're very grateful for the team.

Our child has been having a wonderful time at Busy Bees Mardley Hill. Their knowledge in counting, letters and vocabulary has taken a massive jump since joining and we feel very happy how well they are being supported and prepared for Reception next year. The team is wonderful at communication and keeps us up to date. The new app is also great for seeing their daily activities and overall progress. The range of activities is well balanced and we're especially glad how much time they spend outside in the nice weather.

Both of my children have attended busy bees over the last few years and they have loved every minute of it. Every single staff member is caring, enthusiastic, fun and energetic and all genuinely love helping the children grow. One of my children has special needs and the nursery were extremely supportive to us through some difficult periods of time during diagnosis, they felt like an extension to our family. I am truly sad that good things come to an end and that our children have had to move on from the setting to start school but I know they've had the best start to their childcare and education journey. Highly recommend!

My daughter absolutely loves coming to nursery and enjoys all the amazing activities on offer. The nursery has helped her with her speech and development.
