We are very happy with the nursery. My child really enjoys being in preschool and is showing great improvement in their development since being with the nursery. The staff are very friendly and approachable at any time. I would certainly recommend to any parent.

Meticulous with paperwork, was always up to date, the App was always efficiently updated. The staff feedback was always very informative. I felt very confident leaving my daughter at Busy Bees, she had her favourite key workers who always looked out for her and her needs, as she was asthmatic and had
allergies. A very organised, friendly and tidy environment. All the staff were lovely and genuinely cared for the children. Best nursery I could've sent my daughter to.

Busy Bees Enfield is the most fantastic nursery. From day one we have been ecstatic with how they have cared for our daughter. She has been at the nursery since she was 9 months old having never left us before, the staff in the baby room are outstanding and she settled in amazingly. She has a fantastic
bond with her key worker and has such fun attending every day. Her development has come on leaps and bounds thanks to the activities she does with staff and other children. She hates to leave and cries when she has to come home. Communication is excellent as are the safety measures in place for Covid. We love seeing the updates on the app and think this is a wonderful feature.

So fortunate I found this nursery!! The staff are proactive, very well qualified, warm and responsive. My child's key worker is incredible!! The attention to detail and genuine care for their job is wonderful. My centre manager does an amazing job. Honestly an amazing example for day nurseries. My child
has really thrived in this environment and has formed strong attachments with the staff and friends. The parents are also really lovely. There is a really strong focus on individual and social development, regular well-planned and considered progress assessments and really good outside facilities. The staff really do go advice and beyond and I'm really happy with every part of the experience there. Thank you so much!!

We currently have our second child attending Busy Bees Highlands Village and are really pleased. In fact despite the fact we recently moved we have decided to keep coming here because both our children have enjoyed it so much.
The baby rooms, in particular, are outstanding - so much care is shown to
the children. The facilities are good - especially outside - and the management is always available should you need to talk things through.
Highly recommend!

Busy Bees Highlands Village s honestly the best nursery I have visited. The staff are friendly, accommodating and so helpful. I have felt so comfortable and at ease knowing my daughter was being looked after by them. You can really tell the staff care about their job and care for the children as if
they were their own.

I am so impressed with the nursery staff, how friendly everyone is but most importantly all the safety measure pre-lockdown. I never had any concern about sending my child in and she spent the last six months asking after the staff and would really miss everyone now that she is in school. Highly recommend
the nursery if your looking for a place for your little one.

Review from Zareena (Mother of Child) published on 16 September 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our experience over the 18 months our son attended Busy Bees in Highlands Village has been excellent. The running of the nursery by the manager, the administrator and their team has been well organised and structured with a relaxed manner in a way that reassures us as parents and children attending.
The
nursery provides clean facilities and a great amount of space for the children to learn and play. Resources are included with very few additional costs, this includes nappies, wipes and sun lotion along with help with toilet training in preparation for reception. Drop off and pick up times are fairly flexible with staff understanding the stresses of working parents. Communication from our son's keyworker(s) and the nursery as a whole has been brilliant via their app, newsletters and of course face to face. The staff have always been positive, welcoming and helpful and we can't rate them highly enough. Our son always looked forward to going and made some good friends. We would wholeheartedly recommend.

Both children attend to nursery and are looked after different staff but both of them love the nursery and their carers. They feel safe and secure to play, explore and show their emotions. When some detail needs to be adjusted, the manager is available and willing to listen to our worries and find solutions.

We are extremely happy with Busy Bees. My daughter arrives home very happy and with a smile each day and tells me about her day at nursery which is always a positive experience for her. She cares a lot about her friends and key worker, who she adores. Couldn’t fault the nursery.

My son loves going to nursery, which I was extremely surprised about as I have spent everyday with him for a year. My son does not want to leave whenever he is there. I have noticed he is more confident with new people.

My son was only at Busy Bees for a few months as we recently moved out of the area but it was a fantastic experience for both him and I. The staff are incredibly supportive and clearly attentive to the children. The manager is wonderful and takes a huge interest in all the children and getting to know
the parents. My son had fantastic meals and snacks. Wonderful activities and he always managed to come home spotless even when they’d been painting. It was great to have the app and photos/updates throughout the day. We will miss the nursery very much and I would highly recommend it. We’re very sad to be leaving and wish everyone the best.

Review from A M (Father of Child) published on 31 July 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My 2-year-old son has attended Busy Bees Enfield from 6 months and his progress has been amazing which I attribute to top-class team practitioners who often go the extra mile to tailor activities to his interests. The manager is friendly and always approachable, and since reopening following Covid-19
lockdown, has championed the measures implemented and given useful reassurance that the nursery and more importantly the children are being kept as safe as possible. We get real-time notifications throughout the day via their app about the key things we need to know which is great too.
We've had a child in a day nursery previously when things were not great but so have a basis for comparison, and this is miles ahead.
If you're in the Enfield/Winchmore Hill area I'd recommend Busy Bees.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has had a fantastic time at Busy Bees after joining at 2 years old. They have a lot of space both inside and outside, especially for 3 yrs +, including a covered area which means they can be outside every day in all but the very worst weather. The learning is really tuned to what interests the
children and they pay attention to all aspects of their development. The communication is good and the staff really get to know both parents and children. They have had quite a bit of staff turnover but I think this is normal at big nurseries and it has been managed well, especially since the lady took over as manager, she is fantastic.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Most of the staff in the setting are warm and welcoming, however, there are a lot of different staff and not consistent within the room, this can cause my child to be unsettled.
Sometimes staff are left on their own with children either within the room or in the garden, I do feel that the number of
children they have in their care is sometimes not great, as I feel that staff should not be left alone in case of emergencies.

Current Review Score: 7.8 (7.750)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.8 (7.750) out of 10 for Busy Bees Enfield Highlands Village is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.2 out of 5 from 2 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.542 for Busy Bees Enfield Highlands Village is calculated as follows: ( (13 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 4.542
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 3.208 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Enfield Highlands Village is based on 2 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 = 3.125
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 120 number of registered child places is 24. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 24 = 0.083
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
