Lovely nursery with caring and friendly staff. My little one absolutely loves going and has come on so much since starting there. The team create such a welcoming and supportive environment, and I always feel happy leaving my child in their care. Would definitely recommend to other parents.
We absolutely love Busy Bees Nursery Braintree! The staff are caring, friendly, and genuinely passionate about supporting the children's development. Our child has grown so much in confidence, social skills, and communication since starting here. The nursery always keeps us updated through the app, and the activities they plan are creative, engaging, and educational. It's such a reassuring feeling knowing our child is in a safe, happy, and nurturing environment every day. We couldn't be happier with our experience and would highly recommend Busy Bees to any parent looking for excellent childcare in Braintree.
Of the staff work so hard to make sure all the children do leaning in a fun way. I'm truly sad that our time with busy bees will be over soon with my youngest going to school we will miss busy bees and wish them
All the best in the future
We are very happy with Busy Bees Nursery. The staff are friendly, caring, and always make our child feel welcome and safe. We have seen great progress in our child's confidence, communication, and learning since attending the nursery.
The activities are fun, engaging, and help children develop new skills while enjoying themselves. We also appreciate the regular updates and communication from the team, which helps us stay involved in our child's development.
Thank you to all the staff for their hard work, dedication, and the warm environment they create every day. We would happily recommend Busy Bees Nursery to other parents.
My little one has been here a year now and absolutely loves going in every day. The staff are so friendly and attentive and build up great relationships with the children. I always feel well informed about my child's day and general learning progress.
Choosing Busy Bees was by far the best decision we made for our daughter. When starting she was so unsure and shy about going but now she asks to go and is excited to be there, even asking to go on days she doesn't go!
The confidence that she now has following just over a year at Busy Bees is incredible and we cannot thank the lovely staff there enough. We always get a run down at pick up of how the day has been and always leave happy that she has had a great day.
The app is great to see what she has eaten that day and also how much, how little she ate. Even down to when suncream was applied in hotter months. We also get pictures of things they have been up to which is lovely to see.
Thank you to everyone there for all that they do!
They are all so Friendly, professional, caring to both me and my child. The communication be it in person, by the telephone or via the app is very informative and they always take the time with any questions or queries you have.
I have no concerns handing my daughter over as I know she is entering a safe environment and enjoys her time there.
My daughter loves attending Busy Bees. She now tells me that I need to put photos of her weekend on to show the staff. She has made some great bonds with the staff as well. She come home telling me about whats she has been doing and playing with.
My son loves nursery and being independent when he's there. Nothing I ask is too much and they are going above and beyond to help him with his speech and ent appointments always make me feel at ease. Nursery management goes out there way to help you with any needs, appointments or support they were my rock when I lost my brother.
Staff are all very good also and genuinely care for all the children. We love Busy Bees.
Our youngest child has just finished at Busy Bees, and we are very sad that his journey is over there. We have had two children go through the nursery now, from babies to preschool, and I would highly recommend this setting to everyone. All of the staff are amazing and caring. The children have a great time everyday playing and learning new things. They are always safe and well looked after.
Hello, thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a wonderful review! We’re glad you have given your little ones the best start in life with us. Best wishes, Busy Bees
The nursery has been amazing since day one. My son started towards the end of lockdown, and dropping your child off at the door of a place you haven't been able to visit was tough, but they made it as easy and reassuring transition. Ever since he has flourished, socially, developmentally and academically. He loves going and walks in every day with a big smile, knowing he is going to be in a caring, safe and fun environment. They have been an amazing support with his speech delay and milk allergy.

My daughter started Busy Bees just before she turned one, and her progress since joining has been amazing. She goes full-time and has built up such lovely bonds with her keyworker and the other staff in the baby room. I receive updates all day long through the app, and the staff are always uploading photos so we can see what our daughter is up to. The nursery overall has exceeded my expectation in all aspects. They have been so accommodating, and their communication is excellent. I am so pleased we chose Busy Bees to send our daughter to!

Excellent setting, where both my children attended. Very caring and friendly staff, always with a smile on their faces, happy to be there. My children have had the best care here, they were well looked after and supported through different activities with their skills and learning. Communication is great through the app with live updates.

Each time we collect our child, she is smiling and excited to tell us about her day. We are always given a review of her activities, her behaviour and her interactions, which is very reassuring and gives us a vital insight into her life away from the home.

My daughter started nursery when she was 3 years old. She was very shy and all the time she had never done anything without me, but now she is a different person. She is more friendly to play with children, she even start talking more and everything was happening because of the amazing teachers...I am really happy my daughter goes to Busy Bees...the best decision ever.

Lovely nursery, staff and management are very lovely, caring and always smiling. Not easy looking after toddlers, but you are all really good. A clean environment, a safe haven for my little one. All I can say is thank you so much.

Our daughter arrived at the nursery at three months when I returned to work. The team in the baby room made it so easy to leave her each day, knowing she was safe and cared for, even on days when she was being a real minx. They have supported, cared, and nurtured her we never had to worry. I couldn’t be more grateful for the support and attention they have given not just to our daughter, but to us as a family. The fact that she had struggled a little with the move onto the next room is a real testament to how she felt the team was an extension of her family. I would highly recommend the nursery, they have been amazing. Thank you for all you do!
My son had been a part of the Busy Bees in Braintree family since he was one. The staff are incredible and so supportive. They helped my boy overcome many obstacles including behavioural problems, without them I couldn’t have done it! My son is still asking about his key worker to this day and misses the nursery. My son always had an amazing time at nursery and they always had so many different activities on for the children. The nursery never failed to make myself a card for Valentine’s, Mother’s Day or even my birthday! They are all so caring, if there was ever an issue this was address immediately and resolved. The standard and quality of food was incredible, so much variety to accommodate for everyone. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.
My son started in a preschool room and I can honestly say all the ladies in the room have been nothing but professional especially, three ladies in particular.
He has made some amazing friends both children and staff and I will be sad when he goes to school in September.
