Love all the staff they really look after and care for your child, give good updates, have fun events, great food, and make personalised gifts, my child loves going there. Would like to see more cultural festivals celebrated too such as pesach coming up shortly. .
Reply from Zainab Ellahi, Centre Director at Busy Bees Burchetts GreenThankyou so much for your kind words. We have definitely taken your recommendation on board and will be looking at more festivities including Pesach.

Our experience with this nursery has been nothing short of wonderful. From the moment we walked through the doors, we felt a genuine sense of warmth, care, and professionalism. The team creates a nurturing, safe, and stimulating environment where children are encouraged to explore, learn, and grow with
confidence.
The staff are exceptional-attentive, thoughtful, and truly invested in each child's development. It's clear they take the time to understand every child as an individual, supporting both their emotional wellbeing and early learning in a balanced, engaging way.
We've been particularly impressed by the variety of activities on offer, from creative play to outdoor exploration, all thoughtfully designed to spark curiosity and build key skills. Communication with parents is also excellent, with regular updates that give real insight into our child's day and progress.
Most importantly, our child is happy, settled, and excited to go in each day-which says everything.
Reply from Zainab Ellahi, Centre Director at Busy Bees Burchetts GreenThankyou so much for your detailed appreciation of our Burchetts Green Centre. It is highly valued by all of us.

The staff are all amazing! They genuinely care about the children and build such special relationships with them. My son loves all his teachers and talks about them a lot at home. He is in pre-school and they are currently really supporting each child's development, helping them prepare for school
in a fun and pressure-free way.

Busy Bees Nursery has really looked after my son's needs, and I would highly recommend them to all parents. They paid great attention to his diet, meals, and sleep routine, which gave us real peace of mind.
The staff are wonderful, and I would especially like to thank Bella, Rosie, Khadeeja, Dempsey,
and Miss Afsha for the care and attention they gave my son. Their kindness and dedication made a big difference, and as parents we always felt at ease knowing he was in such good hands.
Thank you so much for teaching and supporting my son Andrew, helping him grow and do his best in everything -from dancing and playing to colouring and learning new skills.
A big thank you to the whole team at Busy Bees for creating such a caring and positive environment for children.
With heart full of gratitude

I couldn't be happier with the care my daughter receives at Busy Bees Burchetts Green. From the very beginning, the team have made us feel welcome and reassured, and it's clear how much they genuinely care about the children. My daughter comes home happy every single day, which says everything. She
is so well looked after, and I can see that she is well fed and really enjoys the food provided. She often talks positively about her teachers and her friends, which shows how comfortable and settled she feels in the setting. All of the staff are lovely, approachable and fantastic at communicating. We're always kept informed, and any questions are answered quickly and thoughtfully. The nursery app is also a brilliant feature, I love being able to see updates on what she's been doing each day, including what she's eaten and the activities she's taken part in throughout the week. It's so reassuring to have that insight into her day. I truly couldn't recommend this nursery highly enough. It's such a wonderful, caring environment and we feel very lucky to be part of it.

My LO loves going in every day. She enjoys all the activities organised by staff, especially the football sessions. I wish there was a bit more outdoor time at winter/poor weather especially in the baby group since at home we go out in all weather. However, otherwise we really enjoy the nursery experience.
The staff are friendly and helpful and the overall setting is very accommodating. She has had mostly the same staff members looking after her the entire time and she has been able to build some lovely relationship with them, feeling confident, safe and happy with all the adults around. Communication is great and the setting has been very open and clear about the fees from the start.

Fantastic nursery. My daughter was here from 10 months until school started and now my son attends. The staff turnover in that time has been very low and everyone is fantastic with the children. My son loves his keyworker and the staff all greet him by name in the hallway. He had a great time and always
comes home buzzing. Lovely outdoor space for the kids and they are so good at arranging outings and treats for special occasions. Highly recommended.

The staff have been amazing to my child. They have helped her grow and thrive. Classes are engaging and they do lots of activities, both inside and outside the classroom in age appropriate spaces.
They are prompt in addressing any concerns that we have as parents. We like their menu and the variety
of food that is offered. They are good at maintaining allergy protocols and managing any medical issues. Facilities are always clean.

We've had a really great experience with this nursery since joining in 2023. The staff are caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in the children's development and happiness. My little one comes home smiling and excited to share what they've learned.
It's such a nice feeling knowing they're in a
safe, nurturing, and fun environment every day.
My only negative is that I wish they had a larger outdoor space for the kids.
We're very grateful to the whole team and would highly recommend this nursery to other families.
Reply from Zainab Ellahi, Centre Director at Busy Bees Burchetts GreenThankyou so much for your kind words. We have a huge garden at the back that children use, with natural grass and trees. This is one of the highlights of our Centre. Now with the weather changing, we will be using it more!

I have been nothing but happy with my son's experience at Busy Bees. He has been attending for almost a year now and settled in straight away, which was so reassuring for us as parents.
The staff are incredibly friendly, caring, and welcoming, and they always make drop-offs and pick-ups a really positive
experience.
Since starting at the nursery, his development has come on in leaps and bounds, and it has been such a joy to watch him grow in confidence, learn new skills, and enjoy his time there. We're so grateful to the team for the care and support they provide every day.

We have sent both our children to BusyBees now and have been so impressed with the entire team and the setting. Busy Bees offer children such a supportive environment in which to grow and develop. The communication is great, with staff reporting very quickly. We have lovely conversations during drop
off/pick up which are very personal and informative. We know how our children are progressing and regularly get clear indications of areas for development. Both our children have a tendency to be quite anxious but the entire team are warm and friendly, offering a safe home from home. Children's physical and emotional needs, and that of the parents are always considered and thought of. Staff are extremely creative with the activities they create and offer to children. This is a lovely little nursery with such a strong sense of community.

We honestly couldn't be happier with this nursery. The staff are so caring, kind and genuinely dedicated to the children.
Lucy was incredible when we first joined - we had just had a really awful experience with a childminder and she went out of her way to help us, managing to get my little boy a place
at very short notice. That support meant so much to us at a stressful time.
My son has been attending since he was 10 months old and he's now 2½. He absolutely loves it - he literally runs into nursery in the morning and often doesn't want to leave when I pick him up, which says everything about how happy and secure he feels there.
I'm so grateful for the care, patience and effort the whole team put in every day. It's such a lovely, nurturing environment and I would recommend it to any parent.

I am very disappointed with the nursery. The service has declined drastically for the past couple of months. No accountability is taken from the caretakers.

Our daughter has been attending this nursery for the past seven months, starting just before her first birthday, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. The staff are caring and attentive, and it's clear they genuinely take the time to get to know each child as an individual.
The nursery provides
a great balance of stimulating activities and outdoor play, keeping her engaged and happy throughout the day. We receive regular photos and updates, which we really appreciate, as it helps us feel connected to her day.
She also naps really well there and enjoys all the food they provide, which gives us great peace of mind.
Overall, it's an excellent nursery and we feel very lucky to have found such a supportive and nurturing environment for our daughter.

We've had a fabulous time with Busy Bees Reading - by the time our kids will leave to go to school, it will have been over 2 years with this childcare provider, using both Toddler and Pre-School rooms.
The staff really care, and the children adore the team members. The facilities are very good - large,
clean rooms with plenty of activities and outside space. The food menus are creative and varied, and everything is prepped on site. The development our kids have socially, and in other skills like colouring, speech, counting is really encouraging. The app is very handy to receive daily reports on special moments, what they ate, photos, etc - it helps keep the parent connected. They even have parent days so one can discuss your child's development or any issues. We're very, very grateful to all the team.

Having just enrolled my daughter here (today is her first full day) I can only give a brief review of our time so far, but it's been faultless. We've been welcomed with open arms, feeling more than just a number. The settling in days have been great, and vital, for both me as an anxious mum, and for
our child to get to grips with a whole new way of life. Very excited for our time to come with everyone at busy bees.
