    I am very happy with my daughter at the nursery, all the staff are passionate about what they do and the nursery has been renovated to a high standard.
    The staff give constructive detailed accounts of how your child is doing each day, and there is always up to date information about parent meetings, events and future activities the kids will be involved in – something I didn’t get at all at her previous nursery. It’s easy to see how much the staff care and they help encourage the kids to find their own way through activities, in a way that’s comfortable for them.

    I am very pleased with the overall experience at Montessori Busy Bees. My daughter loves to go and also is really affectionate to the staff. I feel that even in this difficult time, I can put my trust in them.

    My now three-year-old and four-year-old have been attending this lovely nursery for almost two years now. The staff are very attentive and have formed amazing bonds with my children. The facilities are excellent and they have a culture of continuous improvement and are always open to feedback. I highly recommend it, especially in these unprecedented times when you want your children to be in safe and caring environments.

    My child has been at this nursery since she was 1 and has made good connections with the nurturing staff and is very happy here. I think that it looks great now it has been refurbished and there are always fun things for her to do both in babies and now in the toddler rooms. I like the way they are building her independence and the opportunities for messy and water play that just isn’t possible at home. I have already recommended the nursery to others in the area and would not hesitate to do so again.

    The nursery has improved a lot in the past 15 months our son has been attending. The facilities, equipment, and most recently the garden (based on photos shared by management). Staff are attentive and caring for the children.

    My little one loved going to the nursery. He says every evening how much he enjoyed it and wants to go again the next day. The staff and management team have been so friendly and professional at all times and we have communicated efficiently, even on the virus closure times and have kept me and my husband informed all the time. I am really pleased with the nursery staff and services. Will recommend it for sure.

    I have found my experience with Montessori a very pleasurable one. My son has grown and is developing into a lovely boy that is polite, happy and willing to learn. I have noticed his improvement in his learning, which has come from Montessori, and I can see he is always happy to go. I have found the staff and management extremely nice and friendly, and always will =ing to help with any problems we have.

    This nursery is amazing! My daughter is very clingy and I was very nervous about her starting nursery. She settled within 2 days so well that I had no problems putting her in full time. The manager really cares about the kids and really goes the extra mile, she organised for the chef to make a birthday cake so that my daughter could celebrate with her friends as I was unable to get one.

    My son has been in this nursery since June. He really enjoys it. He likes the playground, toys and food especially. Recently we had parents meeting and we were surprised that the teacher showed us a very detailed book about my son’s development. We found he has been looked after well and educated well in the nursery. As for the staff, all teachers are really nice and friendly. My son’s key worker always gives detailed feedback. The centre manager is very helpful. She is always there whenever we need help. We are happy parents.

    My daughter has been in this nursery since August 2020 and has loved it from day one. Contrary to our worries, she settled so easily and looks forward to being at nursery every single day.
    The staff and management are very professional yet warm and nurturing towards the kids and that makes all the absolute difference.
    I would recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a safe, nurturing and happy nursery.

    Our little one joined Busy Bees Finchley in September 2020 and we have been very happy so far. It’s a very nice and spacious environment which has been recently refurbished. The staff are very friendly and attentive and our son seems to like them a lot. He raises his hands to be picked up from his key workers every time he sees them. He seems to be getting all appropriate stimulation through play, reading time and group activities in order for him to develop.
    They have also launched a mobile app where they add your child’s daily routine (feeding, changing, napping) and sometimes they upload pictures of their activities on the parents’ personal portal. We couldn’t have asked for a more caring nursery for our son especially during these difficult times.

    Both my children attend Montessori by Busy Bees Finchley. They both enjoy their time at the nursery and I feel happy with the staff. One is in the baby room and the other is in Totto’s. I have seen them thrive and develop every day. I have no hesitation in recommending the nursery.

    My daughter started going to the nursery in February 2021 when she was almost ten months. We were surprised how quickly she settled in and how she managed to eat and sleep there from day one. The staff are very caring, kind and they keep you updated with eat, sleep, nappy changes and activities using an app. The babies spend a lot of time playing in the garden and doing arts and crafts. My daughter always has a big smile when she enters the nursery and she sees her key worker. In less than two months, she has improved a lot with her gross motor and communication skills. I couldn’t be happier for her and being a full time working mum, knowing that she has fun really put my mind at ease.

    My son started at this nursery last September and I am very happy with his progress. The staff and management team have been so friendly and professional at all times and always willing to help with any problems we have.

    Our daughter joined the nursery a couple of months ago (at 1 year old) and the staff have been amazing to help her settle down, which happened very quickly. She is always so happy when we drop her off in the morning and joyful when she comes back home with us. To us, this proves that she is taken really good care of, which contributes to build her serenity and self confidence. We love to receive regular feedback on her days through the parent app, and from the teachers at pick up. We are fully satisfied with the nursery and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a special and warm daycare for their kids.

    My daughter loves Busy Bees, they always encourage activities she enjoys as well as introducing new ideas and concepts. Busy Bees has a very welcoming atmosphere and the staff are all friendly and always have a smile on their faces. Even throughout lock down the care and education standards never slipped. The chef always provided amazing home-cooked meals, which my daughter loves. She loves eating with her friends and trying new exciting foods. Busy Bees was our first choice preschool and we love it, our son will also be starting soon.

    Wonderful staff team, calm and clean environment. Great meals and daily updates on children’s progress. My son is really happy here, he settled in really quickly and has made some special friendships.

    Myself and my partner cannot recommend Busy Bees Finchley enough. From the moment our son attended Busy Bees we knew we had made the right choice. All the staff are excellent, they all take the time to listen to any concerns we may have, they’ve helped our son in every way possible and always go the extra mile. They keep us fully updated on any progress he is making and always fulfill any extra days we ask for. Our son has come on leaps and bounds since starting and we just wished he could stay here forever. We cannot thank the nursery and all staff enough.

    My son loves the nursery. They do so much with him and the staff are all very friendly and supportive. They also organise lots of events and engage with the parents. I’m very pleased with the overall care and positive atmosphere

    Well-managed nursery with child development as a priority. School-ready skills are taught even in the nursery itself. Pretty sure that the same impetus is offered at preschool level. My child loves the food more than what is offered anywhere else. The best decision that we have made for our child’s well-being and development is to choose BusyBees Finchley.
