Busy Bees Great Notley, Braintree

Cannot speak highly enough of the nursery. We were apprehensive, as we'd never left our daughter with anyone else before. But they were so reassuring and their provision and care is absolutely outstanding! The staff are so lovely and you can see how much they care. Highly, highly recommended!

Inclusive, supportive and nurturing day nursery. Each and every member of staff clearly cares about each child and makes a conscious effort to ensure they provide the best care possible to meet the needs of each individual child and communicate effectively with parents. My child has been at the nursery since she was 7 months old and is now 3 years and 5months old. She has transitioned through each room with ease and has always been happy and cared for, to the highest possible standard.

Our daughter has been attending here since September 2021 and we couldn't be happier with the entire team. Every interaction is fantastic. More importantly our daughter loves to go which speaks volumes for itself and what a lovely bunch they all are. Would highly recommend!

I have been very happy with the nursery so far. The staff are all so attentive and friendly. They all seem to know my daughter's name and needs and she really enjoys attending. The app is a great way of enabling me to see what happens each day she attends. I can see what activities are set up for the day, what she has and hasn’t eaten, her sleep patterns and also receive regular photos of her enjoying herself. It is very reassuring to be at work and know that she is so well looked after in my absence.

My little girl always comes home happy and raving about what a lovely day she has had. She has made some wonderful friends and learns new things every day, it’s amazing to know your child is in good hands when they aren’t with you. Thank you Busy Bees Great Notley.

My daughter previously attended Busy Bees from the age of 3 and most recently my son started attending busy bees when he was 13 months old (now due to start school in September). I cannot say enough good things about this nursery! At every stage, my son has had all the help he has needed and the care he is shown is wonderful. My son has some delayed development and I cannot begin to describe the amount of support we have had from the nursery. I genuinely don't think my son would be where he is now development-wise without their help. Their focus on his development has been really well structured and monitored carefully. The head SENCo lead at the Nursery is fantastic and has even helped with all of the paperwork that goes with applying for an EHCP! She has also offered invaluable advice on extra help we can get outside of Nursery. My son is so happy there, he goes off every morning without a fuss. All of the staff are fantastic and I cannot recommend this nursery enough!

My little boy is truly happy here and I feel so happy leaving him in the morning knowing how much the staff care and will one hundred percent put every effort into making sure he is happy and looked after! He has learnt so much since starting at Busy Bees at Great Notley, Braintree. The staff in the baby room go above and beyond everyday!

My son has attended since March 2020, he's progressed so much! He absolutely loves nursery and his teachers. He's such a confident boy. He was potty trained throughout and is a very fussy eater and all the staff encouraged him at mine and his pace, no pressure. He's just moved to foundation class and is adjusting so well to the new routine with the help of his teachers. Such a fabulous nursery!

We have been so happy with Busy Bees at Great Notley, Braintree. Our little boy has been there seven months now and he absolutely loves it. He settled so well and is so well looked after by all the staff. You can see how much the staff love the children and the children love them! The staff all put in so much effort with the daily activities and we can see how our son has grown in confidence and ability since he’s been at nursery. I would highly recommend to any local parents.

Wonderful, friendly staff who give plenty of updates on the app. Great activities for the kids and outdoor space. The food is varied and plentiful, our daughter is thriving at Busy Bees at Great Notley, Braintree and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Busy Bees at Great Notley, Braintee is just fantastic. The staff are kind and always smiling. They have been super through the last year, managing an extremely challenging time but keeping things as ‘normal’ as possible for the children.

They are a big part of our lives and like a second family for us.

The nursery offers loads of themed days and family events.

We hunted around for a nursery that didn't cost an arm and a leg. Busy Bees is so much cheaper than other nurseries we looked at and they cover all nappies and wipes so that's a saving in itself. He started at 10months and is now nearly 2. He's a boy who likes routine so nursery is great and he's always welcomed by happy smiling carers. They teach them basic babysign when little and we have continued to expand upon this at home. For me, nursery gives him the activities that I as a full-time working mum don't have enough time to do and the messy play activities that my OCD just can't handle at home with our white walls:-). I love the app and it's great to know what he has eaten etc and how much sleep he has had (how much milk when he was little). Also, they document his learning and what they are working on to improve. They have a great outdoor space which my son loves as definitely he is more of an outdoor kind of kid. The great all year astro surface allows them to get out when grass wouldn't have allowed.

We are very happy with the way that the nursery deal with issues when it comes to reporting at the end of the day and would definitely recommend, and have done, Busy Bees to other parents. Good Job Busy Bees.

Our daughter goes to this nursery and she loves it. The staff are fantastic and our daughter loves them which shows what a brilliant job they do. I sometimes ring to see how our daughter is getting on and it is never to much trouble for one of the girls to let me know how our daughter's day is going. I could not recommend this nursery highly enough.

Excellent nursery, staff are amazing. My little girl comes home and at 21 months is saying some of the staff's names. They leave lasting memories with your children so much so in the time that they spend there. They do so many activities with the children and nothing is too much trouble. When my little girl first started nursery two days a week at 10 months old I was a mess! Now at 21 months old, I couldn’t have dreamed that her time at this nursery could be giving her such a good start in life. Never looked back nothing is too much trouble x

Amazing staff, would completely and utterly recommend this nursery to anyone that asks.

I highly recommend.

My daughter has made excellent progress at this nursery. It is well organised and the staff teams are excellent at communicating my daughter's progress. The leadership and management team are excellent.
