Review from Samantha W (Mother of Child) published on 6 August 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Busy Bees is a great nursery, we have experienced a few other settings and Busy Bees is by far the best in Braintree.

The staff really care about the children and form amazing relationships with them. It’s not just a job to them, which makes a huge difference in the quality of care the children receive.

The setting itself is very spacious and plenty to keep little minds busy.

My daughter has developed at an incredible rate because of the Busy Bees team and I can’t thank them enough for the effort they have put in.

Overall Experience

My daughter has attended Busy Bees since she was 18 months, she will now be starting school in September. In this time, they have been amazing, she has come on leaps and bounds with their help and I can't thank them enough for their hard work and effort. The staff are all friendly, there is always freshly made tasty food available (all made on-site by their chefs), clean and spacious setting with plenty of things for the kids to do. No matter what your child is into, there is always plenty of activities for them to do. The staff are all fantastic, they clearly care about the children and take pride in their work. Cannot recommend this nursery highly enough!

Overall Experience
Busy Bee's has been essential to my son's development.
He has become so independent and no longer screams when I'm not around.
His keyworker is amazing and I couldn't praise her enough.
My mind is at rest whilst I am at work, knowing he is playing, singing and exploring new experiences.

The only sad thing I can say is, we can't bring his key worker to his new room in two months.

Review from Jennifer L (Mother of Child) published on 16 August 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
It took us a long time to research and find a nursery that I felt suitable for my son. I immediately know when I viewed Busy Bees that it would be my fist choice. It was a welcoming, vibrant environment and all the staff were friendly and polite.

My son settled extremely well considering I hadn't left him very much at all before starting. This was largely due to his fantastic key worker, who went above and beyond to ensure he adjusted well. He now attends on a daily basis and he is a very happy, contented child. His development has come on in leaps and bounds at nursery and I'm sure I made the right choice in childcare.

Review from Natalie S (Mother of Child) published on 16 August 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We moved my son to this nursery after a recommendation from another parent. We had issues at the other nursery with staff turnover and key worker allocation. It was the best thing we could have done.
My son benefited from being in a baby room that has all ages up until two-year-old. He likes to copy the older children and help the babies.
He has an amazing bond with his key worker and all the staff in the baby room. He is also popular with the staff in other rooms, this just reassures me that he is happy regardless of which age setting he is in.
The staff at Busy Bees are fantastic, they listen to concerns and support you in decisions you make in regards to your child. They keep you informed. They take the time to get to know you and your child.

Going back to work was incredibly hard and after our first nursery experience, we were very concerned. Busy Bees have made it easier and I know that they truly care for my son and are interested in his development as much as we are.

Overall Experience
I have two boys 7 years and 3 years old, I have been using Braintree Busy Bees since Aug 2010 to present day. Since needing to return back to work, after looking into different childcare providers this nursery ticked all my boxes!!! I am reassured that my children have been well cared for in all aspects of their health and well-being. I especially liked hearing how he's been throughout the day, having the diary helped to remind me. Having the opportunity to attend the parents evenings throughout the year, gives me another insight to his development, progression and how to improve areas of his learning. Now the nursery has implemented a system called I connect, where I can now access all of this information about his care and development in my own home, this helps as now my husband can also access this too.

I would highly recommend this nursery to any parents/carers. At least to look around see if this also ticks your boxes....

Overall Experience

All the staff at Busy Bees in Braintree are extremely helpful and polite. My son has speech delay and is a very fussy eater. His key worker and all the other staff are very understanding and all the other staff are very understanding and helpful with this. They spend one to one time with him to help develop these and his progress has been amazing since he started there.
