Communication with parents was also a big plus; I always felt informed and involved.
Unfortunately, we had to leave because we moved too far from the area, and I was genuinely upset about taking him out of such a great setting.
A big thank you to all the staff at Busy Bee! If you're looking for a sign to enrol your child - this is.

Staff are polite and friendly and they genuinely care about the children in their care. My godson was very happy at nursery. Staff let me know what my godson had been doing during the day and what he had eaten if I was collecting so that I could pass the information on to his mum. Security is good and If staff did not recognise me they would always check with other staff before letting me into the building or to collect my godson.
The staff are so caring, attentive, open and honest. I remember that safe feeling I got from their assistant manager when I first visited and it never left. Both my girls were always happy to go in, they learned a lot and had strong bonds with their...
The staff are so caring, attentive, open and honest. I remember that safe feeling I got from their assistant manager when I first visited and it never left. Both my girls were always happy to go in, they learned a lot and had strong bonds with their key workers. They have a lovely garden space and the children are outside playing whatever the weather. The food was freshly made on-site and both girls enjoyed the choices they were offered. I highly recommend this Busy Bees to any parent looking for a safe and effective environment to care for their child throughout the week.
We owe a lot to Busy Bees Croydon for the way they have nurtured our child’s development and how they interact with parents/carers.
