Review from Laura B (Mother of Child) published on 15 February 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My baby joined the nursery in summer 2021. The staff were very attentive and made his start in nursery life a great experience. The nursery has very good Covid19 procedures in place and as a parent, I feel that my kid is safe. I can see my baby developing every day. The staff are always available to help and provide great info.

Overall Experience

A lovely nursery with caring staff. The nursery has really good Covid-19 procedures and this makes us feel safe to drop our child into the nursery each day. They organise fun events regularly and the activities in the room are creative and engaging. The nursery has lovely facilities and great outside space. Food is such a high standard and they care about the nutritional value as well, our child eats better than we do! I already have my second child's place saved, that's how much we love this nursery.

Overall Experience

I cannot recommend Busy Bees in Harlow enough. My daughter loves it there so much, always randomly saying "I love nursery" at weekends. I'm one of those annoyingly, anxious mothers and I've always felt so at ease at drop off as I know she is in good hands. The management are always highly professional as well as personable and the staff are all so lovely.

Overall Experience

Busy Bees in Harlow is a wonderful place. My little boy started when he turned one just as we went into lockdown and we were anxious about him starting in the middle of the pandemic but it has been an amazing experience. He settled quickly and the staff were amazing at communicating his day with us. He now loves nursery and his key worker. She is a lovely person and I can tell that she genuinely cares for the children and enjoys her job. He eats all his food which sounds delicious. Thank you Busy Bees in Harlow.

Amazing nursery, this is the second child of mine to attend Busy Bees and I could not ask for a better environment for them to be taken care of. Wonderful staff who form fantastic bonds with the children. Updated regularly on learning and activities. Peace of mind knowing my child is happy and very well cared for both in regards to development and wellbeing. X

My experience with Busy Bees has been brilliant. I cannot fault any of the nursery staff as my little boy is always happy and his key workers have made a brilliant impression on him. They communicate everything going on throughout the day and are friendly, kind and welcoming.

Overall Experience

I just want to say, that I was so worried to send my daughter to nursery, as she is very sensitive and did not speak English, but now I know there was no need for it as the nursery staff do everything so well and help her with everything, same as I would do. She wakes up every day happy that she is going to nursery, she says that every team member is her friend and that she loves them and that proves to me that there is so much care. Feel really comfortable and I am glad I made the right choice choosing Busy Bees Nursery. Thank you to the assistant manager and the whole team.

Overall Experience

I cannot thank the staff enough for all they have done. The staff have had such a massive impact on my daughter becoming confident and clever. The staff made us as parents so comfortable and ensured we were kept up to date every day. I never thought I would find a nursery I was happy with but Busy Bees have proved me wrong. My daughter wouldn't be the little girl she is without them.

Since my little girl has returned from lockdown I have been so impressed with the way my daughter has settled back in. She can't wait to go and always come out happy. The staff are all approachable and friendly. My daughter has made outstanding progress and has learnt to write her name in 5 weeks. I will forever be grateful to the fantastic staff for giving my little girl the best start ready for school.

After lockdown I was really apprehensive to send my son back but I really had nothing to worry about. The staff have been amazing and I couldn't thank them enough for making everything run smoothly during such an uncertain time. My son loves going to Busy Bees and he always tells me how much fun he has had each day! Thanks for everything Busy Bees Harlow! You are great!

We have really enjoyed our time at Busy Bees Harlow and are sad to be leaving. Our daughter loves coming to nursery each day and really missed the staff who she has amazing relationships with during lockdown, in particular, are a couple of members of staff who have been a huge help with our prep for school but all the staff are fantastic.

Since starting with Busy Bees Harlow my son has built a real sense of confidence, he has excelled in his speech and his communication skills have improved. He has learnt at a comfortable pace and believe he is ready to go to school. The staff have been very supportive and hands-on.

Overall Experience

I knew this nursery was fantastic already as my niece attended for several years and absolutely loved her time there but it wasn't until my daughter started going in January that I realised just how wonderful all the staff were. My daughter has come on in leaps and bounds in physical, mental and emotional milestones and I know that's down the amazing work of the staff at the nursery. 2 members of staff, in particular, have been so caring and loving which is so reassuring to me as a first time mum knowing that my daughter is in the best hands. I couldn't recommend this nursery more highly.

Overall Experience

My son has been at Busy Bees Harlow since he was 2. He has always loved going, never had an issue when dropping him off, he gets excited as we pull into the car park and runs in the door without looking back. All the staff are lovely and so helpful and make you feel welcome from the first moment. 2 members of staff, in particular, have been amazing with my son as he is currently going through assessments and diagnosis of autism, both have helped my husband and myself secure an EHCP for our son and one of them has been working with him on a 1 to 1 basis for the past year and he has definitely come on a lot since then. I would definitely recommend Busy Bees to all my family and friends. Thank you for everything.

Review from Liam D (Father of Child) published on 29 July 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been attending Busy Bees nursery in Harlow since the age of two and his learning and development has come on leaps and bounds since then. He very often comes home excited to tell me about what his teachers have set up for them to do throughout the day and what he and his friends have been doing. I have never had a single issue with Busy Bees, regular updates are posted along with pictures and write-ups of my son's progression and activities on a hand mobile phone app, which I find is a lovely touch. On days when I’m particularly stressed at work or needing a bit of a pick me up, it’s like Busy Bees can sense it and I’ll get an update of my son racing around the garden on his favourite bike or a review of something new he has learned from one of the teachers at Busy Bees. Fantastic place to send your children, for the best start to their young lives. Special mention to my son's key worker currently, she does an amazing job with him. Thank you so much!

My son always enjoys his day at Busy Bees and looks forward to going, I cannot praise this nursery enough, all staff are so helpful, polite and supportive.
He has been learning to write his name and is doing so well as staff work hard to help support him.
I was so nervous with my son starting nursery but soon felt at ease that he would be well looked after.

Thank you Busy Bees.

My son has been going to Busy Bees since he was 15 months old. He feels so at home with the staff and nursery. The staff go above and beyond looking after the children, especially if they feel unwell. I feel very lucky to send my son to an outstanding nursery and who shape him into a lovely young man.

Review from N R (Father of Child) published on 23 October 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Our son has been at Busy Bees since a baby and his care and wellbeing has been of a high standard. He has learnt so much in his first two years and his integration into his next room has been dealt with so well, he loves it with the bigger children out of the baby room. Although he was very clingy at first, the love and attention he gets, makes him relaxed within a minute and always comes home happy, showing us all he has done. We can't wait to see him progress in his final three years and look forward to introducing our new baby to nursery.
