Busy Bees Great Notley, Braintree

We noticed a marked increase in both child's development at the nursery, the interaction with other children is also something that we feel our children really benefit from.

Amazing nursery. My youngest has just started after my eldest went here. The staff are lovely and I couldn’t ask for a better nursery.

I can tell my daughter genuinely loves attending nursery and whilst she has been there a short time, I can already see she has developed and progressed a lot.

They listen to your ideas, problems and even complaints (not that I've really had any over the years) but when I have said I'd like something done in regards my child they are 100% accommodating. Very friendly and easy to talk to. Fantastic place.

I wouldn’t trust my little girl anywhere else. The staff are always welcoming and make me feel at ease when leaving my little girl with them. It is obvious that the staff truly care about the children and always have time for any questions or concerns I may have.

She is now almost 4 and has benefited immensely from the time that she has spent at this nursery. As a teacher myself I cannot recommend them and the outstanding work that they do enough. Great job!

My son has only recently started at the nursery but I are very impressed with the care and attention that he receives by all the nursery staff. They are friendly and approachable and I know that he is in safe hands with them while I am at work. It’s lovely to see him happy and smiling when I go to collect him and is very often having a cuddle from a member of staff, very lovely to see.

My children have developed not only in the traditional sense of speech, fine and gross motor skills, etc. but also in terms of confidence. My daughter is well cared for, comforted and enjoys going to nursery, and I hold the upmost trust in the staff when putting my daughter into their care.

Can't recommend this nursery enough, amazing value for the price.

The managers are very approachable, always friendly and helpful, and constantly striving to make improvements. Everything that your child needs is provided by the nursery making it as easy as possible for parents. The Foundation Class helps to prepare the children for school to make the transition a smooth one. Busy Bees Great Notley has provided an excellent start and we will miss it when we leave!

My little boy has been at Busy Bees since he was 6 months old. From his very first day, he had been so well looked after, I can’t thank the girls at Busy Bees enough. He loves his days there and is always squealing with delight running around when I pick him up which is so reassuring to see. Can’t recommend enough!

The resources available to the children are of a good quality and very suitable to their interests and development stages. The Parent Zone app is great for keeping us up to date in all areas, I especially love being able to see what they have been doing during their day with lovely photographs. My youngest daughter has now started in the baby room, again the staff in there have gone above and beyond to ensure that she has settled in really well and is happy there. A fantastic nursery, I would recommend to all.

All staff members are extremely polite and enthusiastic. Especially the girls working in Dragonflies, I couldn’t fault any of them. My only comment would be that I'd like more pictures of what my child does in the nursery. Aside from that everything else is outstanding.

Busy Bees at Great Notley is a great nursery/preschool. My daughter loves going there and has done for the past 4 years

The staff are always really helpful and always take note if my daughter is ill or needs special attention.

The management are always informative and keep us up to date with what's is going on.

The parent zone app is a really useful tool as it allows staff and the key person to add photos and comments about my daughter's day which is really nice to see.

Since being in the foundation class, my daughter has really improved her sentencing and numbers and is not so shy and has made some really good friends.

The nursery also has family events such as summer fates and Xmas events where all the family can come along. This gives parents who may not be the main person who drops off, a chance to see where their child goes and speak to the team on a social basis.

I love the nursery and I will be very sad when my daughter leaves in July to go to school in September.

Excellent nursery, lovely staff, with very engaging and interesting activities. My daughter is very happy.

The staff are very adaptive to children’s individual age and needs, they are very caring and obviously enjoy working with our children. There is always plenty of age-appropriate activities to more than fill the day and our children have formed great relationships with staff and peers. The garden is great and the recent refurbishment has only added to the enjoyment.

This is a fantastic nursery that offers a safe and professional service. The staff are fun and friendly. My daughter is very happy here.

My son goes to the nursery and he absolutely loves it there! He loves seeing the staff in his room. He smiles when we drop him off and he is still smiling when we pick him up!

Our little girl has been going to Busy Bees at Great Notley since she was a year old. Throughout her time there she has reached every milestone with much enthusiasm from the staff. All staff from admin, catering, key workers are all very welcoming. Keyworkers have always given very informative and helpful handovers and assessments. The admin team are always on the ball and can always answer any question I give them. The whole centre is safe and friendly. My daughter loves her key worker, which is lovely to know.

I would 100% recommend the nursery to friends.
