Day Nurseries Owned by Busy Bees Nurseries Ltd in Essex

I would like to give a special mention to my daughter's key person who is the senior manager for the babies's room. Her name is Emma and she is incredibly kind and warm. It is this kindness that has helped my daughter settle in and come out smiling after a day in nursery.

A lovely nursery with amazing staff. My child absolutely loves going there and walks in with a big smile every morning. The staff are friendly, loving and genuinely caring towards the children, creating a warm and welcoming environment. The management team is also very helpful, professional and well-organised. It's lovely to know my child is happy, safe and well looked after. Highly recommend.

My child loves going to Busy Bees. They keep us well informed, the staff seem to genuinely care about the children, and she has learned so much from her time there. She struggled to settle in at first, and busy bees proactively tailored her experience to make sure she felt as comfortable as possible, and she developed a strong bond with the staff and other children.

I have had all 3 children pass through here, my youngest is currently in pre school. Since my first visit I was so impressed by the quality of their rooms, they beautiful furnishings and variety of toys and their set up. The garden is well resourced and the staff are lovely. You get to know the staff, key workers and those in the office very well, that you almost feel like family. The planning that goes into the kids activities and the updates on the app are really great. Really pleased :) really happy.

Really wonderful staff in the First Steps room. A shout out to Millie who always tells us all the different things our child has done in the day and seems to have a genuine enthusiasm at spending time with him. He has loved spending time with Laura and Emma too over the past year.

Busy Bees has been great for my son. All the staff are so kind and caring, and the learning and daily routines are well published and explained. We know he is so well looked after there and he's grown so much through his journey up to preschool

A wonderful nursery with attentive staff who truly care about all the children. Our child has learned so much and loves going to nursery! Particularly great are the key worker relationships and we love that there are strong bonds between kids and staff.

Our boy started here at 9 months, and after almost a year in we couldn't be happier. The team is always open to what he needs and works with us to make sure he's comfortable and cared for. Santi loves going, and we love it too. Super recommend it to any parent looking for a nursery they can trust.

Our daughter loves it. We feel she is well cared for. All staff including management and in particular her key people have been super attentive and lovely. The app is really informative and the menu/food is varied.

I have two children who attend this nursery and both are thriving with the support and care of the team. My youngest has settled quickly into Babies - we love seeing the photos of her exploring new things via the app. My eldest is entering her fourth year and she has grown and developed so much in this time. She has formed wonderful friendships with her peers and relationships with staff.

The food is varied and they both eat well.

The nursery has gone from strength to strength in recent months.

Thank you to the whole team!

This is now my 3rd child coming through Busy Bees over 8 years, and our children have been so warmly nurtured, supported , entertained, stimulated and cared for throughout. Every staff member brings something different to the mix but they have been supportive and helpful despite various leadership changes over recent years. The experienced members of staff have been there for some time now, which is important. The environment is calm and clean but full of activities and opportunities, with lots of outdoor time. The AC has been a godsend this summer during heatwaves. The staff help adapt to different children's needs, and their SEND support has been amazing, especially thanks to a couple of key staff. Their food is also great, generally plentiful, nutritious, tasty and varied.

Our son has been at busy bees for a year now and he is well looked after and always happy there. He runs out of the house to go to nursery! He especially loves the garden and outside play areas. He also is very well fed and eats everything :)

I am so overjoyed with Busy Bees Chelmsford, their staff always go above and beyond for the little ones. My little girl absolutely loves going to nursery, she's made some really lovely connections with her teachers and seeing her so excited every morning is so heartwarming.

We're incredibly grateful for everything they've done to help him grow into the happy, confident little boy he is today. Thank you for being such a wonderful part of his journey - we will miss you all so much!

My child has been going to this nursery for a year now and they have developed so much from physical development to having lots of confidence socially and emotionally. The staff are so caring and my child has built up such wonderful relationships with them. It's definitely helped me as a first time parent to get back into the swing of working.

My son is graduating after three lovely years with Busy Bees. What a wonderful event the graduation was I was truly bowled over by the thought and effort the team put in they really went above and beyond for the children and made it such a special event for them.

But not all is bad, as I am quite pleased with the way the staff works and cares for my child.

Our son has been at nursery since he was 11 months old and he has thrived in the environment. All the staff are so friendly and make your child feel special. They have supported us through changes due to personal circumstances and our son thoroughly enjoys his time there and is always smiling when we pick him up

Overall it's a okay Nursey, he's happy and learning. my child had multiple keys workers and when he started no one knew any thing that was relayed- due to constant changing of key worker. Now it seems to have settled, relaying information is better, but just wanted to make parent aware there is no aircon at the nursery, and if they close for any reason such as staffing issues or the temperatures being too high- you do not get refund or additional days- due to it being outside there control. But it is as they should have Air con considering its quite an expensive Nursey and my sons previous less expensive nursery did have it.

I honestly cannot fault them!
