Review from Angela H (Mother of Child) published on 4 March 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our child has been attending for 6 months and settled really quickly. They plan lots of activities and he has developed really well during this time. Staff are friendly and communicate well through updates on Parentzone and newsletters and managers are keen to engage with parents. The menu is brilliant and we have confidence that allergies are catered for. Would recommend this nursery to other parents.

Overall Experience

Both my children attend Busy Bees, Harlow and both love their time there. They are so clearly well looked after, engaged and treated as individuals. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this nursery. My son starts school in September 2018 and I know that he will miss some of the friends he has made there and will hopefully reflect on his time there as fondly as I will.

Overall Experience

I am generally happy with the nursery. There is enough qualified staff and the environment is clean. The activities provided are interesting and keep the children occupied. The food menu is good and varied. I would like the staff to provide more assistance with the children's visits to the toilet. During cold weather, the children should not be allowed to play with cold water outside. During winter the staff should assist the children to change indoor shoes to warmer boots when they go in the garden.

Overall Experience

I put my baby into Busy Bees at 5 months as I had to go back to work. I was so nervous as he was so young and he had been with me all the time. But since he has been there, his progress is amazing. He loves going and always smiles when he gets there. Also, I couldn't speak more highly of the staff, they are fantastic. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone. Brilliant.

I have 2 children at Busy Bees Harlow, 1 in the baby room and 1 in pre-school. We are super happy with all staff and the rooms and the gardens are great.
My boys learn all the time and both love it there. Also the food choices are great.

WE LOVE THE NURSERY!

Overall Experience

All three of my children have gone to Busy Bees and loved going. My three year old still goes and the change in her from when she first went and now is so different, more outgoing and not shy. When it's time to go to nursery she gets really excited about going. The staff are really friendly and easy to talk to.

We are very happy with our daughter being at Busy Bees Nursery. The staff are so friendly, the app and updates are great and facilities are perfect. Our two-year-old is progressing well and above her age for most things and we believe Busy Bees has played a huge part in that!

Review from Lisa J (Mother of Child) published on 19 April 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We love the nursery and find the staff very helpful and supportive.
They are always happy to see us in the morning and very welcoming, the room always looks nice and ready for the day with a different selection of activities.
My daughter has lots of fun and likes to get messy! She’s always doing something different and things we most likely wouldn’t do at home.
I can check on the app but the staff always take the time to give me an update at pick up.

We are really pleased we found this nursery.

Review from Stacey (Mother of Child) published on 18 April 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Very good nursery, one of the best in Harlow. Any complaints we have had, have been dealt with immediately and efficiently. Outdoor space is good and made excellent use of what space there is. The online portal introduced is a good way to keep up to date with my son's progress. Safeguarding is excellent, it was a key point for me when choosing a nursery. The food menu is varied, fresh and locally sourced.

Review from Tiz G (Mother of Child) published on 17 April 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
I was apprehensive at first and staggered my 2-year-old into nursery, however, the staff, learning and care was 100% and when offered full-time work, I had no hesitation in leaving my toddler within their care.
Very communicative and professional at all times.

More importantly, my daughter loves it and she runs in.

Review from Dani D (Mother of Child) published on 15 March 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been going here for 3.5 years and I couldn't fault the nursery. All staff members are welcoming and are there to discuss any concerns with child's learning. My son has come on leaps and bounds and that is partially down to the learning techniques used at Busy Bees. The food and nutrition supplied at Busy Bees is of a high quality and there is always a menu available. Everything that your child does is recorded on parent zone and feedback from staff about your child's day is delivered at a fantastic level. Highly recommend Busy Bees in Harlow.

Review from Soraya S (Mother of Child) published on 14 March 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Overall I think this is a great nursery. I like the way it has been set up with a lot of open plan space, so the children don't feel enclosed so much.
The staff are really caring and patient and both of my daughters were (1 older of 6 years now) and are (the younger is 3 years old now) very happy here.

I feel good every morning that they are in very good care.

Review from Dinah (Mother of Child) published on 16 May 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Moved up from London to Harlow and my daughter, who has autism, lacked proper support at her previous nursery. She could not speak any words, only babble and say 'hi'. Since attending Busy Bees, her speech has blossomed so quickly between October 2016 to now. She is using 2-3 word sentences, as well as counting and verifying animals, objects, sounds, colours, shapes, names etc. She's come so far with all the proper support that's been given that I can have a conversation with her and understand as well as communicate with her better. My youngest son also went to the nursery. It's the only daycare I've felt safe to leave my children in and being able to see your child from Reception via CCTV if you want to check on them, without disturbing them, as well as fob keys for parents - extra security is very helpful and reassuring. The premises are always clean, staff are polite and caring, food menus are healthy. All round it's a wonderful daycare nursery.

My son first came to this nursery in May 2016. I have found it to be well resourced, safe, clean with well qualified and caring staff who have catered brilliantly for his educational and pastoral needs. His behaviour, speech and development have improved greatly during this period.

Review from Priyanka M (Mother of Child) published on 12 April 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Busy Bees Harlow is absolutely amazing. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. We were offered play and stay sessions even before we haven't enrolled. Number of settling in sessions gave us the confidence that our daughter will be in safe hands which was very important for the full-time working parents like us. Nursery premises are very spacious and have to big gardens, well organised, plenty of toys, books and activities to keep children busy at all times. All the staff are very friendly, caring and always smiling. They managed our daughters daily medicine timings spot-in! Our daughter is always happy when we drop her off and pick-up everyday. Food menu is really good and suitable for all the different requirements. I couldn't recommend the nursery enough.

Review from T C (Mother of Child) published on 3 April 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My twin sons have attended this nursery for nearly three years and they are so happy there. They struggled to settle in initially and the key workers couldn't have done more. They are really friendly and approachable. I love their parent zone app which allows me to see photos of them at nursery so I don't feel I'm missing out, and the staff always keep me fully informed. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Busy Bees in Harlow. My sons now run in!

Harlow Busy Bee's is outstanding, my daughter is wanting to be at school everyday even though she only goes 3 days per week. She has come on leaps and bounds, her development is fantastic, and she always talks me through her day which is also available online to view. Great staff. Great nursery.
