I am very pleased with Busy Bees Harrow, my daughter is 3 now & she has been attending this nursery since she was 8 months. She has a wide vocabulary, knows a lot about Earth, planets, plants, she can write her own name and numbers 1-10.

The food is excellent (tasted on taster day), chef in the setting daily. Daughter loves her teachers in preschool. A++.

My son has been taken care very well in Busy Bees by all teachers and staff, although he has some language barrier. I feel very happy and reassured to leave my son at Busy Bees. I am very happy with the service and nursery.

Review from Natasha M (Mother of Child) published on 23 March 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My son joined the nursery just under a year ago. He has settled in well and speak very fondly of staff and new friends. His keyworker has been a godsend in easing the transition from his old nursery to Busy Bees and particularly being attentive to his emotional needs. My son has come on leaps and bounds since joining the nursery. He is more independent and can express his needs a lot better than before. The nursery staff are very approachable and know each child individually. I would highly recommend Busy Bees at Harrow.

Review from H R (Mother of Child) published on 23 March 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

We sent both our daughters to this nursery 5 yr and 3 yr old. Both settled down very well. Our 5 yr old now in year 1 at school has very fond memories of the nursery and is always excited to drop off her little sister for a chance to say hello to her teachers. They both developed very well and were set up well for school. Two things that really stood out for me are; one, my younger daughter was potty trained really fast because of the help the nursery provided and two, both daughters ate well and enjoyed the food exploring different items. Slight improvements I would like to see is better and more focused preparation for the start of school, more focus on letter formation capital + small plus sounds/phonics which would give them a better start.

Reply from Frankie Morris, Centre Director at Busy Bees Harrow

Review from R P (Mother of Child) published on 23 March 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
My daughter started at this nursery after we moved homes. She had to leave her previous nursery and after not settling at an "in-between" nursery, she started at Busy Bees Harrow and was instantly at home. The nursery have a great balance of child led play and teaching of care skills in a fun way. My daughter also loves the extra-curricular sports.

For me above, it all, is the comfort of the staff she is with. She is the happiest she's ever been!

Review from S A (Mother of Child) published on 14 April 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

The best compliment I can give is that it feels like a second home for my daughter. She's been at this nursery since she was 16 months and at every transition she has been cared for, supported and she has thrived at this nursery. The team care about providing holistic care where children's emotional, physical and mental wellbeing is paid attention to. Couldn't recommend it more.

Review from B L (Father of Child) published on 26 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
All three of my children have attended this nursery over the past 8 years, and I have been extremely happy with the care and support provided.
Even though it is part of a big franchise, Busy Bees Harrow has a real family feel. There is genuine love and care for the children, and good communication with parents. While some nurseries provide a glorified babysitting service, Busy Bees Harrow also has a varied and effective educational offering. My children love going there, and at home, they talk about all the things they've learned.
The management is excellent, and over the years, I've seen staff members mature and develop into leadership roles. They approach their roles with professionalism and pride. The nursery is clean and well equipped.

Our youngest child will start school this year. While we'll miss hearing about his adventures at Busy Bees, I feel confident he's had the best possible preparation for school. Thank you for everything!

Overall Experience
The best nursery which my son absolutely loves attending! Every morning he wakes up asking me whether he can go nursery.we love the environment at the nursery- they are educating, nurturing and genuinely care for the children they look after. We get detailed feedback every day and the app is always updated with meals and what the

Children are doing that week and what they have eaten. A special thanks to four members of staff, in particular, for all your efforts with our son!

Review from N S (Mother of Child) published on 9 June 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

The staff at this nursery display such attentiveness to both my children that attend. They both come out so excited and happy at the end of the day. They are learning so much and are incredibly well-supported and nurtured. I trust this nursery hands down and would (and do) recommend to parents thinking of sending their precious little ones. It's a fantastic learning facility where their social, emotional and developmental skills are challenged and grow.
