Director

Mihaela Fulga

Hello, my name is Mihaela and I'm the Centre Director at Busy Bees Enfield.

I have dedicated more than 30 years to working with children, beginning my training at just 14 years old. With both of my parents being teachers, education has always been a big part of my life and their passion inspired me to follow the same path. As a qualified teacher, I bring extensive experience and strong curriculum knowledge, and I am particularly passionate about creating warm, stimulating environments that nurture children's curiosity, language and confidence. As both a teacher and a parent, I understand the trust families place in us, so my priority is ensuring every child feels safe, secure and supported while receiving the very best early years experience.

The team at Busy Bees Enfield Highland Village are amazing, attentive and friendly. Well done guys Would recommend

My son has been with this nursery the past 6 months starting in the baby room and he has settled in very well and is happy and thriving! He is well looked after by his room staff and they are all so so lovely! Very glad we choose this nursery and look forward to seeing him continue to flourish here.
