Busy Bees Harlow

My daughter started at Busy Bees Harlow in September 2025, and from the off each and every member of staff has been genuinely dedicated to forming a bond with her. She continues to love her time there every week and being with this nursery has definitely helped with her communication, confidence and peer-to-peer interaction.

The staff at Busy Bees Harlow are simply wonderful - every single one of them is caring, patient, and wholeheartedly devoted to the children. The affection and attention they show every day is clear to see, and it's such a relief knowing our daughter is in such a supportive environment. They really go the extra mile, whether it's encouraging the children's growth or creating a warm, inviting atmosphere where they can flourish.

We couldn't be happier with Busy Bees Harlow, I would highly recommend to any parent looking for an outstanding nursery.

The staff go above and beyond in everything they do, from supporting the children's development to creating a warm, welcoming environment where they truly thrive. We are so grateful for the incredible job they do and can't thank them enough. I would highly recommend Busy Bees to any parent looking for an outstanding nursery.

My two year old daughter started Busy Bees in September 2025. We went to view few nurseries in Harlow but I must say, they were the most professional and welcoming team. Initially it took a good couple of months for my daughter to settle in maybe because she is there part time but she absolutely loves her key worker. When role playing at home she is always mentioning her! The nursery has definitely helped with her communication, confidence and peer interaction, I was able to notice the difference within her first month. We love how friendly everyone is, especially during our pick ups, all of the staff seem to recognise you and know who you are there to pick even if you haven't had any interaction with them, this requires effort, care and passion. So thank you to everyone at Busy Bees Harlow Greenway.

My daughter started nursery in October 2025. English is not her first language, and her vocabulary was very limited - just basic needs like "toilet," "drink/eat," "I need help," and a few other words.

The settling-in period took up to two months, while I expected it to take three or more. The educators do everything - and even more - to make children feel comfortable. They share advice on how to support the child and what can be improved.

Her English vocabulary amazes me every day, and I can clearly see how much progress she has made.

I like that children do a lot of drawing, modelling, and creative activities like cutting and gluing.

I'm truly happy that my child attends this nursery.

Thank you very much for all the support!

Staff are always friendly and supportive. They build great relationships with both children and parents. My son has loved each key worker he has had and it is great to know he is looked after so well. He loves the garden and being outdoors and they always make time for outdoor learning.

I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone!

The staff are absolute gems and are very rare find! Keep up the amazing work!!

As 1st time mum you always worry about the welfare of your child, specially when they are so tiny and vulnerable, busy bees staff do put you at ease I can't thank one member of staff, in particular, enough for her profissionalism and care for my little one.

Really impressed with how much my son is thriving in Bumble 2, he loves every moment there and is excited to move up soon. Three members of staff, in particular, have invested so much time into him and we appreciate all the comments, photos and updates they share. They genuinely care about him and it's lovely to hear about his day and the activities he has done with them.

I am very happy with how my son has settled in. His key worker was very hands on and I was happy to receive a lot of photos and updates whilst he was at nursery. Definitely made me feel at ease that he was happy and enjoying his day.

I would recommend this nursery to anyone! The staff are lovely and caring. My son loves this place he's in the 2-3 group and the staff are wonderful especially three members of staff, in particular. Very welcoming and listen to any concerns/request you have.

Fabulous Nursery. My two children who are currently in secondary school attended this setting 11-12 years ago and because they were well looked after I decided to take my 3rd baby to Busy Bees and I haven't regretted doing that. My son is well looked after,staff are nice,clean environment,activities done with kids,feedback given during pick ups,managers and the rest of the staff are genuinely interested in my child's wellbeing especially the staff directly assigned to look after my child when he is at the setting. This staff is kind and caring as well as the rest of the staff. My child was shy when he started but currently he is coming out of his shell due to his experience at the nursery. I highly recommend Busy Bees Harlow to all parents residing in Harlow as it's the best in Harlow.

We love this nursery. The staff are so friendly and amazing with my son. He has been attending since he was 10 months old (he is now just over 2) and he is thriving. He struggled to settle when he changed to the 2-3 year room and the staff were so patient with him (and myself) until he settled. They keep me informed throughout the day of his activities which is great. I also love the development reviews so we can make sure everyone is working together, at home and at nursery, to teach my son new skills. The new Bee Curious curriculum is fantastic too. My son loves Time to Rhyme and the Book of the Moment. I know when there is a song change just by the fact my son will start singing a new song at home. Couldn't recommend then enough!

Happy with Busy Bees Harlow. My son has settled really well all the staff are lovely, so overall very happy with everything. The food is really nice too my son always eats everything so he seems very happy with it.

I really wanted for my son to attend this nursery because I heard it's the best nursery in Harlow and I do not regret that I picked it. In a few months, my son has learned English and has changed completely in a good way. I don't have words to thank all the staff for their attention towards my son. Everyone is very lovely and I definitely recommend this amazing nursery.

Busy Bees Harlow have been great in helping my daughter settle into nursery coming from a childminder. Comforting her and me and ensuring that it is a seamless transition. In the 3 weeks, I can see a massive improvement in her confidence, independence, and intelligence.

Both my daughters have attended Busy Bees. We were very picky when choosing a nursery and they ticked all the boxes. The key workers are all amazing and my daughters love them. We have never had any concerns and have seen such growth in their development. Highly recommend them for anyone looking for a place to send their little ones.

Over the moon with the service Busy Bees Harlow provide. My daughter is so happy there and I drop her off knowing that she's well cared for. The systems they have in place are easy and effective. The staff are friendly and caring. Highly recommend.

The only bad part is that the outside space could be bigger or have different areas to play in as it only has a small fake grass area.
