Our children have been very happy at Busy Bees Mardley Hill for six years! There is a great range of activities, the staff are always friendly, knowledgeable and helpful and our kids enjoy the food too. It really has been an excellent start to their education and they have had lots of fun too.

My son comes here full time and has attended since he was 5 months old and is 3 years old now! His development is outstanding and I can’t thank the staff at Busy Bees enough for their care and attention to both my son and myself. The best part of my day is the updates I get on the app and he can’t stop chatting to me on the way home about all of the fun activities he does during the day with his friends! Thank you Busy Bees for looking after my son he is my world and you treat him as if he is yours.

My first contact with Busy Bees Mardley Hill was when I was moving back from Sydney Australia to the UK so you can imagine how much stress I had trying to find a daycare for my 2-year-old. From the get-go the manager and her team were utterly amazing, they put me at ease straight away and they kept in contact with me over the weeks while they were trying to find space for my boy. I was so happy when they said we have pulled out all the stops and found my son a place. MY son is now two and a half and he loves it, he has made lots of friends and takes part in so many activities. I also get to see updates throughout the day via the app with pictures and what he has had to eat which I love.

I feel very privileged to be writing this review of Busy Bees Mardley Hill. It is hard to entrust your child into the care of others, but from the very first day there, she has been so happy. She loves going and loves each and every member of the amazing team. They are without exception the best and thoroughly deserved the outstanding Ofsted report they obtained. From the learning facilities and the care that goes into planning each and every learning activity to the awesome resources and carefully chosen food menu. The management team are professional, friendly and knowledgeable. So thank you everyone at Busy Bees for nurturing and teaching our precious girl and for being totally awesome. I have no hesitation in recommending this nursery and it's wonderful stuff to everyone.

We are so happy that we chose Busy Bees Mardley Hill. Our daughter loves going there and we feel so happy and comfortable leaving her there. We get lots of updates on the app and the children are always kept busy with a range of activities.

My daughter has been at Busy Bees, Mardley Hill for the past 2 years. I could not have asked for a better start in life for her. The nursery is simply fantastic. She has thrived in her time there and the staff are excellent. They nurture and care for the children, and recognise each one as an individual. Every day there are fun and interesting activities and the staff clearly love and cherish all of the children. There is an on-site chef who prepares tasty meals every day and my daughter enjoys all the food there. Plus there is a guy who comes and does sports activities with the children 3 times a week, which my daughter loves. I drop her off every day knowing she is in the best possible hands. We get photos and updates and all the children seem so happy there. The management are superb. They have such a lovely way of communicating with parents, and my daughter’s key worker is simply the best. I have so much respect for her and just want to say thank you so much for everything.

My little boy has been attending Busy Bees, Mardley Hill, half days to three days, over the last year. The care and nurturing he receives is second to none. He enjoys his time with his peers and key workers. He has learnt and developed so much and is clearly thriving in the space and environment. The team are attentive and focused on providing the best care. He loves going to school and I have nothing but praise for the whole team.

The team at Busy Bees Mardley Hill are exemplary. Each and every day that I collect my 14 month old baby she’s both happy and content. Staff are all upbeat and personable and the positive culture can be seen in the average tenure of staff - they clearly all enjoy their work.

My daughter joined the nursery last month and I can honestly say I am so pleased we decided to sign up for Busy Bees Mardley Hill. Her key worker is absolutely fantastic, as are all the staff. They have a genuine love for the children and I know she is very well looked after. As a mother returning to work after being off with my baby for 12 months, putting her into nursery is a huge step and transition for both Mum and baby. The team here have made things so easy and provided me with reassurance that she is happy and keeps me regularly updated on her days at nursery. I even have access to an app where I can monitor her throughout the day from how long she’s slept, to what food she’s eaten/how much etc, even pictures which is a fab touch! The nursery is more expensive than others, however it’s well worth the money in my opinion. Thank you to all the staff at Busy Bees Mardley Hill, you are doing a fab job and thank you again for taking great care of my little girl.

A truly wonderful nursery. Our daughter has thrived since joining and loves her days spent at Busy Bees. Parents receive daily updates via the app about meals, activities, personal development and photos which is lovely to receive. The staff are nurturing, kind, friendly, approachable and highly professional, they treat each child as an individual and create a welcoming and safe environment for the children with a varied range of activities to help build their confidence, learning and personal development. We are so thrilled with the level of care and attention our daughter receives, she doesn't look back when she walks in at drop-off and has formed some lovely friendships with other children too.

Busy Bees Mardley Hill is a great nursery. We really enjoy the online updates throughout the day and are impressed by the varied activities that are offered. Staff are amazing and my daughter loves it.

Outstanding, excellent, caring, diligent, attentive and professional are just a few words that describe my experience at this nursery. The care is second to none. The staff are informative, always ready to assist and it has a personal touch that I have not experienced elsewhere. The nursery is spotlessly clean and the children are happy and engaged. I have yet to meet a member of staff who does not go above and beyond. This nursery has the benefit of not being too big so that every member of staff knows every child. Can’t rate this nursery high enough for their care of my granddaughter. For anyone that wants peace of mind knowing their child is in a safe environment, surrounded by care and love whilst also nurturing every individual child’s development, Busy Bees Mardley Hill is the nursery that offers this in abundance.

I’ve been really pleased with the care and support my daughter has received since settling in the nursery in August. After not attending a nursery before and not socialising much due to the pandemic the staff have been amazing in meeting her needs to ensure she settles and I’ve been super pleased that she’s been enthusiastic to attend. I receive regular updates on her time at nursery and I love that I can submit home observations that her key person can then build on at nursery. The staff are enthusiastic and really care about the children’s well being. I would absolutely recommend the nursery.

My daughter rejoined Mardley Hill after a break (due to Covid) and has settled back in really well. She is really enjoying being in the setting and we have seen such improvement in her social skills since spending time at the nursery and looks forward to going (we have to say hello to Busy Bees if we are just driving past!) From a parent perspective, the admin side of things is efficient and we receive great communication from everyone in the team. We would have no hesitation in recommending.

Look no further. The team are simply wonderful! Our daughter thoroughly enjoys her visits and even after a long break of a year, she settled straight back in. While we were away the staff kept in contact which was really thoughtful and appreciated. Good variety of healthy meals. Plenty of stimulating items in the rooms and activities to help children develop.

Busy Bees at Mardley Hill is a wonderful, cosy nursery in a pretty setting. All the staff are very welcoming and accommodating and seem to have bonded really well with our three and a half year old twin daughters, who at times can be a bit reserved when it comes to a new environment. They always come back from nursery very cheerful and happy singing lots of new songs, telling stories and bringing home some very interesting arts and crafts that they have done that day. Parents are provided with a lot of updates and feedback about the children via the app and face to face on drop offs and pick ups every day. Busy Bees at Mardley Hill have also taken all the necessary precautions during the pandemic to make children and their parents feel safe and well looked after. We are very grateful to happen to live close by to such a great day care.

We decided to start our child at this nursery earlier this year due to Covid-19 and him having such a lack of time with other children to develop and learn from them. We have seen our child come on leaps and bounds since starting Busy Bees at Mardley Hill and that’s from the help of all the staff too. We get updates and pictures of all the activities he is doing and whenever he learns something new. We find this also really helpful so we can replicate the same sounds or interactions at home to continue to assist with our child’s development. The director and her team have always made me feel so calm and at ease with the nursery transition and my little one is so settled now and excited every time we get to the front door! I couldn’t recommend them enough. They go above and beyond to promote fun whilst learning, working on kindness and relationships, activities inside and outside, provide great diversity of food and create a really warm environment for your child to be in!

Fantastic nursery, can highly recommend! The staff are super efficient, great with the kids and always go the extra mile! The hours of the nursery actually mean parents can work! I have two children there, my eldest was a bit slower physically with running and jumping and the staff have been incredible at helping her to strengthen her leg muscles. My youngest has just been potty trained and the staff were fantastic at encouraging this. They respond to any individual needs such as, if you want your child to nap less at nursery so they sleep better at night. Cannot recommend this nursery highly enough!
