Busy Bees Ealing Common

My daughter started at this nursery in February 2022. Her settling-in period was wonderful and the staff made us both feel very comfortable. This is the third nursery we have tried, due to moving homes and it is by far the best. The staff are excellent. I have seen my daughter grow in confidence and she has become more independent. They keep us well informed using the app and I get sent pictures.

We are so impressed with Ealing Common, Busy Bees. The staff are wonderful and have made us feel so welcome since our 2-year-old daughter started five months ago. They are caring and knowledgeable, and it is reassuring to know she is being looked after so well. Since starting at the nursery, we have seen our daughter’s confidence and skills grow so much, which is a testament to how well her teachers have got to know her as an individual and the excellent activities they plan each day. We particularly love the app, which shows everything from meals to nappy changes and photos of her exploring the nursery environment. We couldn’t be happier and are only sorry we did not start earlier. Highly recommended!

Busy Bees is the first nursery our son has been to and he has been there for a month now. The transition from the home environment has been very smooth. The personal is very friendly and polite. Our son is enjoying his time there, he enjoys playing with the other children as well as with the personnel. We are very satisfied with Busy Bees so far.

I have been nothing but impressed with the nursery since our first visit there. All the staff are warm, calm, attentive and caring towards each and every child. Our daughter only joined 5 weeks ago and doesn’t attend every day, but she is already growing more and more settled and attached to her key workers, demonstrating what positive experiences she is having there so far. She isn’t a very independent sleeper just yet but the staff give her the support she needs for naps, for which I am so grateful. They have also been very attentive towards her eating as they get to know her and communicated with me how she has eaten that day, which has also been useful to know - she is now loving the great food on offer more and more! In short, I am so happy with the individual attention the nursery provides to each child, the high standards of care shown by all the staff and the lovely atmosphere. It is so reassuring as a parent to know such a great team are looking after your little one!

We absolutely love sending our children here. The staff are always so welcoming and nothing is too much of an ask. They helped settle our girls in so well. The activities are fun and varied and a great choice of menu (even with a fussy toddler!) Thank you!

A great little nursery with very personal attention to the kids. Small staff numbers make it an intimate experience for the kids and not too chaotic as it can be in larger nurseries. All children are happy and they are extremely flexible in supporting parents. Our daughter has been extremely happy there from baby through to preschool and loves the staff. The manager is extremely committed and accommodating.

Since day 1 we have always felt that our son is in safe hands.

I couldn’t recommend this nursery enough because if its caring and responsive staff. We also have experience of another nursery in the area, and our boy is so much happier at Busy Bees. He has settled quickly, is now always happy to go there, always comes out excited when we pick him up, and even occasionally asks to go to nursery on the weekend. We like that it’s a small, homely setting, and all through the pandemic, they managed not to have a single Covid case so far. The menu is very good and healthy, the staff have been very supportive through the potty training, flexible in trying to accommodate his nap time as much as possible, and regular updates and photos of our boy’s daily activities and achievements via the new app have been absolutely invaluable to keep us reassured from the very beginning that he’s doing great there.

He’s a happy boy when I drop him off and pick him up.

I highly recommend Busy Bees at Ealing Common. My daughter has been going there for three years since she was six months old and she absolutely adores her little nursery and everybody in it. The staff is wonderful, all the key workers truly care about the children and the manager is fantastic, always trying to accommodate the children’s or parents’ needs. I particularly like the fact that it is a small nursery, which means you get very personalised care. On top, we have much less to worry about in Covid times with it being a small nursery. Would highly recommend!

My son is currently in pre-school and has been at Busy Bees for more than two years. He loves the keyworkers and he looks forward to attending pre-school every morning. He has gained so much confidence and his language skills have significantly improved. The keyworkers are so dedicated, encouraging, attentive to his needs and engage him in every activity that may not necessarily be his favourite. He is proud to show me his 'artwork', demonstrate his singing ability, tells me about what he does in the pre-school garden, be it playing with his peers or growing plants. The staff always give a verbal summary of his day; and also provide suggestions to improve particular aspects of his learning outside of the nursery arena, which is also supported by the Busy Bees (BB) 'UP' app. My son is also a picky eater and all staff bend over backwards to accommodate this so he does not go hungry. He is already sad that he will have to start Reception next autumn as he will miss the keyworkers.

My experience with Busy Bees has been one that is always going to be remembered as I remember how friendly and helpful the staff and manager were and still is when leaving my little one at to return to work. They were understanding and caring, and that helped me to relax that my baby was in good hands. I also, like that the nursery is small and homely, and they operate almost like a family as the environment is mainly clean and staff helpful and tends to communicate my child's needs well. I wouldn't change my boy's nursery for anything, he loves it. I just hope the standards continue to be kept and set even better ones in the future to be reached.

Busy Bees Ealing Common is great. It’s a smaller nursery and there is a real family feeling. We’ve had both our children attending, and they are very comfortable and welcomed in the space. We spent a year away from London and coming back to Busy Bees Ealing Common was like back to the family. We were very impressed that the vast majority of staff have been the same over several years, in comparison to the dramatic turnover we are aware of in other nurseries. The children play well and eat well. Possibly the only downside is a smaller outdoor space, and the continued efforts the management team have to make with the neighbouring businesses to keep the surrounding street areas tidy. We have considered deeply what is best for such young children, and very happy that Ealing Common provides such a rich caring environment.

The staff really make the effort to make your child/children (and you as parents), feel safe and cared for whilst they are away from you.

This little place is perfect for my little one. He has always been happy and been looked after very well. Never had any concerns about my little one as I have always been updated about the progress and development. I would highly recommend this nursery for the first time parents especially as it's very cosy.

Our son started nursery at the end of January and we have been so happy and know that we made the right decision. Like all parents, you are worried about your first child about making the wrong decision and visit a lot of nurseries. Our son is 21 months old and we have seen a huge development in his speech and social interaction over the last few months. Apart from a few mornings of crying he took to nursery so well. This was down to the reassurance and kindness from his key teacher but also from all the staff! All the staff take great pride in getting to know the children and are so warm and friendly. They care passionately about all the children's well being but also about their learning and development. Our son enjoys playing outside, making presents for us, baking and messy play :). He's learnt so much and I wouldn't hesitate on recommending the nursery. All the staff are approachable from the manager to part-time assistants. They have an onsite chef cooking organic food too!

My son joined the nursery when he was only 8 months old. As the first child I was worried about leaving him at nursery but after a few months, I can surely say it was a great decision. My son is absolutely happy there and staff are really professional and they take great care of him.

They do loads of activities and he is always involved. Also, they always inform me about his mental and physical development. Rooms are clean and safe for kids.

I am very pleased with the nursery, my son just started but settled in quickly. The staff are really warm and caring. They update me regularly and take good care of him. They track his development. The manager is amazing, really helpful, organised and a nice person.

Very good nursery. Help with the development of the child's skills. Friendly staff. My child enjoys being there.

My kids went to this nursery for 15 months and I cannot recommend it highly enough. The staff are so kind and friendly. The management is very responsive and caring. The nursery was always clean. My kids loved going to nursery every day. My daughter was always coming home with a handicraft and she was feeling so proud of herself. Now she can write and recognise her name, all with help of her teachers at nursery. All in all, this nursery has been like home to my kids. Our heart was at peace when we were leaving them at nursery and nothing is more important than this for parents. Now that they’re both leaving for school We’re all gonna miss this place.
