I must say, I'm very happy with Busy Bees! The staff is super friendly, my son looks happy to be there and is developing faster than he had before starting there. Every time we've had an issue or concern, it was dealt with with a lot of care!
Our one year old daughter has been at Busy Bees since November last year. It took a few weeks for her to settle in but now she's so happy and comfortable there. The staff are amazing, everyone is so kind, friendly and brilliant with our daughter. She's smiling as soon as we walk through the door and gets really excited as we get close to her room. She often needs to be reminded to say goodbye to me because she's already thinking about breakfast or the activities she's going to get up to that day! Her walking, speaking and confidence has really developed since starting at Busy Bees. The hours are great, making it very easy to work while she's in childcare. Though I haven't tried it myself I think the food must be great as she eats a lot at nursery and always has the biggest smiles for the chef!
My both children attended the nursery and loved it. Staff is very friendly and attentive. Great management. Operating hours are very good for working families. I have no complaints. Would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a good childcare.
1.More consistent daily updates - App updates are currently irregular and sometimes incomplete. More accurate and consistent communication would help parents better understand their child's day.
2.Improved communication and follow-through - Parent feedback and requests should be acknowledged and acted upon more consistently. For example, if a parent asks for their child to remain indoors for a specific reason, this should be respected.
3.Greater patience in staff interactions - While guidance is necessary, it would be beneficial if staff focused more on calmly explaining expectations, helping children learn through understanding.
4.More structured activities - Adding more guided group activities alongside free play would support learning and development through structured, purposeful plays.
Our son took a while to settle at nursery and the staff were amazing at helping him find his feet and now he absolutely loves being there! The staff are so helpful and friendly. We always feel confident leaving him there.
We are incredibly happy with Busy Bees. Our son, absolutely loves going there! It's heartwarming to see how much fun he has every day and how many friends he is making. We can tell he feels safe and happy. A big thank you to the team for creating such a fun and welcoming environment. Highly recommended!
It's a lovely nursery. The staff are friendly, welcoming and so caring. My son loves going and has formed proper relationships with the other children and staff, which is so lovely to see. Great facilities and staff are brilliant with us as parents - great app and regular updates.
Our child has had an excellent experience since starting at Busy Bees Walthamstow. They settled in instantly, connecting with their key worker. Sleeps well, eats well, and comes home very happy and content from a busy day. We are thoroughly pleased with the care our child has received and has made us feel all that more relaxed in the morning when dropping off. We like the new app in use and that keeps us generally well informed. The conversational pick up and and drop off feedback each day is really nice and useful but would appreciate if the app was used more regularly to share activities and photos during the day. Our child eats very well and enjoys the food and all the extra portions but does come home somewhat messy on most days!
Our son has been going here for 7 months now and is loving it. He settled in so quickly, sleeps and eats far better than he does at home! The staff are brilliant, creating a safe, creative environment for the little ones to flourish and it's clear our little man is very attached to both his previous and current key person. They also have a fantastic outdoor space which is brilliant for the children in the warmer months. I would highly recommend the nursery to anyone looking in the area.
Our son has loved every moment of his journey at Busy Bees, and we'll be so sad to say goodbye. He's built friendships that we know will last a lifetime, and the confidence and skills he's developed here have been nothing short of amazing. We're incredibly grateful for the care, support, and joy he's experienced every day.
Thank you for all the care and support you provide. I really appreciate the work you do!
Just said goodbye to BusyBees after 6 years. Our 2 children could not have been better cared for. Although the nursery went through some challenging times earlier, we were always taken by the high level of care, expertise and responsibility shown by key staff over the years. This, coupled with very successful recent recruitment, has supported the provision to go from strength to strength. Its amazing. Thank you, we will all miss you very much. Keep up the amazing work xx
I want to say a huge thank you to all the staff at Busy Bees Walthamstow. Our daughter has been going there for the last 2 years since she was 15 months old and has loved it. Unfortunately, we are moving out of London so have to change nursery and it's been one of the hardest parts in making our decision to leave, as we know how happy and well looked after she is there. The staff in all the rooms do a great job of keeping the kids entertained with engaging activities. I particularly love the seasonal things they do for occasions such as Easter, Christmas, Diwali, etc. She is very attached to her key workers and you can tell they care about the kids they look after and have really helped her development during her time there. They also have some brilliant chefs on site who do a great job of offering a varied menu that even our fussy toddler seems to enjoy! I highly recommend the nursery to parents looking for a nursery for their child.
As an uncle, I'm very happy with BusyBees Nursery in Walthamstow. The staff are caring, professional, and create a safe, fun environment where my nephew thrives. Their communication and dedication to the children are excellent. Highly recommend!
We've been with Busy Bees for two years and throughout that period we have been more than satisfied with their care for our daughter. They are never stagnant and always looking for ways to improve. The management has come a long way over the years and there is a strong leadership team in place now. The staff seem happy and children are well looked after. In terms of learning and development, the communication of what they are learning could be improved as I often find my daughter surprising me with knowledge I didn't know she had. They have an incredible outdoor space which, in my opinion, places this nursery ahead of others as the children benefit from playing outside as much as they like. My daughter is very happy there and has made many strong connections.
Great facilities with good equipment and excellent food that encouraged our fussy eaters to try different foods. But mostly, the staff are incredible. It feels like they genuinely care about the children in the rooms and have excellent relationships with them. They're great at planning activities to keep them interested and learning, while striving to bring out the best in each child. Both my eldest who's now in school and my youngest (in the pre-school room now) have gone to Busy Bees and we've been delighted. We've always been extremely appreciative of the amazing work they're doing and it makes our lives so much easier knowing our kids have been happy there: growing, learning, socialising.
The nursery works well with my daughter and she enjoys going there. They even made sure she is meeting her milestones. I would happily recommend this nursery to other parents or careers as I feel at ease when dropping off my daughter each day.
I could not be more satisfied, my son is genuinely happy to go in the morning and we see, as parents, a massive improvement in his behaviour and also in the way he expresses himself.
It's great to see professionals so passionate about what they do and also seeing them so attached, attentive and kind to all kids.
A special shoutout to the team in the Bumbles room, they are amazing and we are very grateful for the work they do!
My son has been at Busy Bees for a little over a year. He's really happy there and the staff are very loving, caring and engaging! He does interesting activities and has lots of free play too. The staff are great at updating me at the end of each day about how his day was. I would highly recommend Busy Bees!
We've had our child at Busy Bees in Walthamstow for almost one year and have found everything, and everybody, wonderful. Our child 'loves bees' (their words) and is excited to play and learn and enjoy the large garden spaces. The care our child receives is obvious and the support from office staff has been excellent.
