Both of our children have attended Montessori by Busy Bees and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Our older child recently moved on, and our younger one is currently thriving, happy, confident, and learning so much every day. The team’s dedication to each child’s wellbeing and development is truly evident. Our older child left with confidence, curiosity, and a strong foundation for school! The staff are warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in each child’s wellbeing and development. The environment is safe, nurturing, and full of engaging activities that spark curiosity and joy. It’s clear that the team works hard to create a space where children feel secure and excited to grow. We’re incredibly grateful to Daniel and his team. Highly recommended to any parent looking for a place where their child will be truly valued and encouraged to flourish

My son has been attending Busy Bees for just over a year now and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Daniel and his team have created such a warm, welcoming and education-focused environment, and it’s clear how much the children thrive under their care. The progress my son has made since joining has been wonderful to see, and his excitement and positive reaction each day when he’s going into nursery speaks volumes about how much he enjoys being there. It gives me great confidence knowing he’s in such capable and caring hands. I would highly recommend Busy Bees to any parent looking for a nurturing and supportive nursery where children are genuinely encouraged to learn, grow and enjoy themselves.

Montessori by Busy Bees Enfield, is an exceptional nursery. My daughters intellectual development has enhanced significantly since the new management. The centre manager and the rest of the nursery staff are genuine. They are kind, patient, understanding and willing to go above and beyond to meet the needs of my daughter. Each week she comes home she’s learnt something new, her vocabulary has broadened and couldn’t be more glad to have my daughter attend this nursery! I almost wish they had a primary school too so she can continue. I can not be more grateful, nor express enough gratitude towards the nursery. The nursery and the staff are truly outstanding, they really strive to meet each childs needs. When I pick up my daughter all the kids are genuinely happy. I feel safe and happy to leave my daughter in their care. Gutted she will be leaving soon to go reception, but ecstatic that my baby will be joining shortly after.
