My son started attending Busy Bees Croydon in December 2016 and has loved being there ever since. We were worried about the transition as he was starting in the pre-school room, having never attended nursery before, however, all our worries were unfounded as the staff were amazing helping him settle in, encouraging him to socialise with the other children and participate in activities. The facilities at the nursery are fantastic, there is always so much set out for the children to do both outdoors and indoors. My son loves the nursery and the staff there and is always happy to attend. As a parent, I find that the nursery is fantastic at keeping me informed on his daily activities with constant communication. The daily report is always very informative and shows how brilliantly the staff know the children they work with. Sending my son here was one of the best decisions we made and I would recommend this nursery, with its wonderful facilities and even more wonderful staff, to anyone.
My son has been attending Busy Bees nursery in Croydon from 9 months old, he is now 3.5 years. I'm extremely pleased with the care my son has received, I find the staff extremely friendly. My son loves his key worker in pre school and has a relationship with all members of staff. My son has developed extremely well in Busy Bees care and loves the brand new playground/garden. He has loads of friends and is a bright and outgoing child and I feel his care at this nursery has contributed to his development. The nursery has always been flexible when I've required extra days of care. I would highly recommend this nursery/preschool.
I feel she is getting the best start in life by attending Busy Bees and it really does show. All the rooms are well equipped with different activities. The garden has just been renovated and looks really lovely. The staff are all really friendly (nursery staff and management included). I would highly recommend this nursery.
Unfortunately, I am having to take my daughter out of the nursery as I'm due a 2nd child, I am extremely gutted but once the time comes for my daughter to go back to nursery, this will be where she attends, along with baby no. 2.
I also love the fact every room is on one level - the kids are secure, as we all know, safety for our children is paramount. My Daughter LOVES her food, and she is fed well with different menus - and kept hydrated throughout the day.
My son started at this nursery when he was 13 months old, he settled in very quickly and loves the nursery. As he is full time in this nursery, he is very comfortable here and does feel like second home which is very important for us. Staff are very happy, kind, caring and very experienced in how to deal with each individual's needs or developments.
My daughter has been at Busy Bees for 18 months and I have been extremely happy with the service and care my daughter has received. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and show a genuine interest in each and every child. Would highly recommend Busy Bees Croydon.
To top it all they've got an awesome cook who makes varied meals making sure kids get nutritious yet tasty food.
I would definitely recommend this nursery.
I have sent both of my children to this nursery since they were 10 months old. They have always had the best of care and built good relationships with the staff. They are very informative of what happens throughout the day aswell. I would recommend this nursery to any future parent without hesitation.
Really love Busy Bees. Since my son has attended he has become more confident. I'm really happy to leave him in the care of the staff, who are all lovely. Would highly recommend to any parent thinking about sending their child to Busy Bees. Also, love the outside play space for the kids. The babies/toddlers and pre-school are all separated to facilitate the different stages. Toys and facility in general always kept clean to high standard
We have been extremely happy with Busy Bees nursery since our 1-year-old son started in January. He is very happy there and has come on so well with his development. The service provided by the team is second to none with a great range of toys, fun activities each day and healthy, nutritious food.
I find the staff to be very helpful and caring with my son. They keep me up to date with his progress and provide great updates at the end of each day. It’s a great relief to know that my son is in such a safe, fun and caring environment.
Both my sons have started this nursery after they turned 1. I have looked at so many nurseries after which I have decided on this one. This nursery has the best setting with purpose built nurseries, which allow enough sunlight into the rooms, spacious rooms for the kids to allow free play, separate gardens for each age and lots of toys which keep the kids occupied. Especially in the baby rooms, they have a separate sleeping room – which is the best I have ever seen. Kids get enough food and sleep in the nursery – which is very important at this stage. They are provided in-house cooked healthy hot meals many times a day. Staff are extremely well connected with kids and parents. Staff teach kids good eating manners and good manners. I am extremely pleased with the nursery in helping my sons become well behaved and kind kids. Last but not the least – they have ample parking space (more than 10) which is a challenge in most of the nurseries around this area. Would definitely recommend this nursery.
I was confident that my daughter would bond with the staff and as it was the second time round I was more at ease.
The Key person keeps me informed on a daily basis and the office staff are on hand if I have any questions.
I am very pleased with the nursery and the team and would recommend to other parents.
We looked at all the local nurseries, and we definitely made the right choice. The building is superb, and the staff are excellent, warm, friendly and knowledgeable. The food is cooked on site by a qualified cook and is of a very high standard. We are very happy.
Both are very happy there and adjusted very well. My older son never wants to come home, which is disconcerting for a parent but speaks volumes for his happiness there!!
My 1-year-old daughter is also well settled. Both have come on in leaps and bounds and increased confidence since attending and have plenty of different activities to keep them engaged every day.
I am especially pleased with the food offerings which are varied and meets the needs of my ever hungry son and dairy intolerant daughter.
My daughter has been attending Busy Bees full time since May 2014. She settled into the nursery very quickly and has adjusted well each time she is moved up from one age group to another. She has a great relationship with all of the staff and other children and enjoys helping the teachers on a regular basis. She enjoys her time at nursery so much that most days she is disappointed when it is time to go home. As a parent, I find the staff to be extremely helpful and caring especially when it comes to my daughter's food intolerances. If there is a meal that she cannot have due to intolerance's, she is provided with a suitable alternative. The nursery setting is nice and spacious so the children have plenty of space to play and complete their learning activities. The garden is a very good size and well designed to allow each age group to have their own secluded area to play in. This is a fantastic nursery which I will miss very much once my daughter starts school.
My son is very active and enjoys the large garden space the nursery has. I like that the gardens are separate for the different ages so the smaller children are not getting knocked over by the bigger children.
My son enjoys the food at the nursery and is offered a variety of foods, he now tries more foods at home.
We are a working family and we have no family around us to help us to look after my little boy while we are at work. Busy Bees Nursery that my son goes too is like a second home for him. It seems that my son does not miss me while he is there. He even refuses to return home when I pick him from the nursery. Staff are absolutely trustworthy with your child. Sometimes they assign a key worker to your child if needed for one to one basis. I highly recommend the place to other parents. Staff are very approachable and they take great care of your child. Even the new staff are well trained and very welcoming and give parents proper feedback. When my son is there, I work and have peace of mind.
I am very grateful to them from the Manager to all staff. I could not find a better place than this for my son to be in.

Qualities that I hold dear to me include the relationships that I build with members of staff, the children and the parents which encourage me to continue to give my all to this role and being a family orientated person is reflective of this. In my spare time I enjoy travelling and spending quality time with my children.
