Busy Bees Chingford

We couldn't be happier with this nursery. From the very first day, the staff have been incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely caring, which made settling in so much easier for both our child and us. The open spaces are fantastic-bright, safe, and thoughtfully laid out to give the children plenty of room to explore, play, and burn off energy. It's clear that outdoor and free play are a real priority here. We also really appreciate the consistent engagement through the nursery's online app, where staff regularly share updates, photos, and notes about activities and progress. It gives us great peace of mind and helps us feel connected to our child's day. Overall, it's a warm, supportive environment that we'd highly recommend to any parent.

Busy Bees Chingford has been great in our experience. We are first time parents and brought our son in quite early (10 months). From the registration time to now (6 months later) we have felt supported, well informed at all times and most importantly our son has the best time there. All carers are amazing and actively sharing information on the daily activities and also have given us advice on taking care of our son. We definitely recommend them!

You can't ask for a safer more nurturing environment for your children to attend. 100/10 recommend!!!

We're extremely grateful to the team and would highly recommend it to any parent looking for quality childcare.

My son is now in the pre school room and has loved the previous two rooms as much as this one.

Activities I don't know never anyone sent video what type of activity they are doing sinece my boy been there .

We will miss it there, but now my daughter had started and i look forward to watching her flourish.

My son has really settled in well at Busy Bees nursery. A few tears the first few months of him going but all of the staff have really made him feel welcome and now he is excited to go in the mornings. He has a great bond with all of the staff in his room. The app is updated daily with pictures and meals and this makes me feel much better when I am at work so I can see what he is doing and how he is getting along. The staff ALWAYS teach my son new things, he has come such a long way he is beggining to eat on his own and now knows how to dress himself and put his own coat on. The staff are very encouraging with learning new things to be prepared for reception. Everytime I pick him up the stafff tell me how he has been which really makes me feel that they are watching him and monitoring him well. My son often mentions his key workers name which is lovely. Its a very safe and loving environment for kids to be and I would have no hestiation to recommend to more mums! :)

We also really like the fact that each age group has their own garden with age appropriate toys.

The staff are always supportive with the children and show enthusiasm. Have seen a massive difference and improvement from the day my child attended and now. My child is constantly asking about his teachers at home which shows the passion he has and the care he receives from his teachers.

All staff are hardworking and have the children’s best interests at heart. I wish them all the very best. God Bless them to continue the good work and the manager to continue with her leadership.

Can't fault this nursery. The staff are so caring for my little boy and amazing at communicating with me throughout the day using the app. Highly recommend if you're looking for amazing childcare. The staff also helped me calm my nerves when settling him as I was super nervous. Thank you Busy Bees, Chingford.

Both our children have attended busy bees, my daughter before and after COVID and have now transitioned really well to primary school, and my son from age one after COVID. The staff are very caring and have supported what has been a difficult post-lockdown transition. All the staff across the different rooms know all the children at the nursery by name and the children's key workers have been very invested in the children's comfort, development and individual needs. The purpose build centre provides an exceptional space for both indoor and outdoor play and learning.

Overall, happy with the nursery, my son has been with Busy Bees since October 2020 and started as a baby. He will soon join the preschool room. They have a large garden area and the food options are great.

My son left Busy Bees at Chingford in August 2020 to start reception after several happy years. The staff there were kind, patient and helped us in several areas, namely potty training and bottle weaning. The staff are great and the facilities are excellent. I'm now seeking a place for another child so that really is the highest recommendation I can give.

Our daughter joined Busy Bees Chingford just before she turned 1 and she is now 2 and a half. The staff were fantastic at supporting her transition when she first started and again when she returned after being off during the lockdown. The staff are incredibly friendly and I know that our daughter has a great time from the way she runs in every morning without a backward glance. The purpose-built indoor and outdoor areas are spacious and well resourced and the weekly newsletter gives a great insight into what they've been getting up to and which is clearly all driven by 'Development Matters' in the EYFS. Health and Safety is clearly paramount, through the way they have dealt with her egg allergy and the occasional bump. It is clear from the way the staff talk about our daughter that they know her really well and really care for her.

Our son started at Busy Bee Chingord when he was 13-months-old, and even though the transition into nursery life was extremely unsettling (for both of us!), the staff facilitated the change in the most supportive, caring and gentle way, and we haven't looked back since! He spends 5-days a week at nursery and to see how happy he is at the end of each day - makes it all worthwhile. We know that whilst at Busy Bee he is developing life skills in a safe, fun and loving environment. Thank you to all of his key workers, the nursery workers who fill in on the days that are needed. The manager and her team - you make the nursery what it is - wonderful!

Thank you!

We have had one or both of our children at the nursery for the past 5 years and both children have been happy and progressed well. The staff are caring, personable and take the time to ensure we and our current child attending feel comfortable with the nursery environment. Both children experimented with food more at nursery than at home! Both the office and room staff have been flexible with our requirements and have supported our children through various ‘phases’ and quirks as they have developed into their own little personalities, often going over and above to do so. Supporting us as parents as well as our children. I would also say that the nursery has had even more of a step up with a recently appointed manager who is very positive and professional. A great appointment to the team. We couldn’t be happier and look forward to our child enjoying the rest of their nursery experience at Busy Bees Chingford!

All the girls who work there are friendly and helpful and always make you feel welcome.
