They particularly enjoy playing in the outdoor area which was one of the main reasons we chose this nursery. It also helps we walk past and wave at the nearby ducks to and from nursery every day. Thoroughly recommended!

I have the happiest little 3-year-old that loves to tell a story and she retells nothing but happy stories about her day at nursery. Thank you Busy Bees!

My oldest child has been coming to Busy Bees Chelmsford since she was 9months old and is now 4.5 and she loves it and she has such a lovely relationship with all the staff at the nursery. My youngest who is 1.5 has only just started a fixed day after being born in covid times and Busy Bees have been so good at settling her in. They were also amazing at being flexible prior to this while my industry recovered after lockdown. I’m very happy we decided to send both our girls here. The team are all so lovely and I know how much my girls learn and grow there.

The team at Busy Bees Chelmsford are first class. They are all incredibly friendly and provide a superb level of care to both of my children. They are attentive and conscientious, one of my children has required different medication for periods of time and another started their nursery life with a restricted diet and they managed the medication and dietary requirements with no problem. The food is of great quality, healthy and varied. Both kids absolutely love going to nursery and have formed great relationships with the team and as a parent you really get the impression the team there genuinely care about the children. The initiatives and the varied curriculum are also excellent and provide our children with a great academic start. I would absolutely recommend this nursery setting, the team are brilliant, the facilities are a great standard and my children love it.

Our daughter has been there since she turned 15 months, for over a year now. She loves it there and immediately developed a great bond with her carers. I can see that she is liked there and feels very good. She learned a lot already and started developing a good British accent that she would never learn at home! I can recommend to everyone considering a nursery in Chelmsford - even if it isn't the closest one to where they live.
Both my daughters have attended Busy Bees Chelmsford since they were babies. Nearly 7 years in total now. We have never had any problems. Support is always second to none. Both our daughters have always been so happy and forged wonderful friendships with both the other children and the staff. I...
I always recommend to friends.
This our second child we have had attended there and both have loved it and I have found it to be a very well run nursery. Special mention to one member of staff who goes the extra mile. Our children are very very happy to attend

In the last month we've been able to visit classrooms and it's been really lovely to see that my daughter is a well-liked and integrated member of the nursery community. Really, really happy with the care that they show her.
Our son goes to Busy Bees three full days a week and absolutely loves it. The facilities are super and he particularly loves the garden space. He’s made great friends and loves the staff home-cooked food too.

Thanks everyone.
Really great nursery. They’re always pushing the boundaries and trying to get the best out of the kid’s couldn’t ask for more. We’ve had experience of the nursery right from babies and my daughter has always had a good lasting bond with her carers.

We love our nursery! My son is always happy to be there, he has got his favourite teachers and friends. His communication skills have improved so much. The nursery staff are very friendly and attentive.

Both my daughters have attended Busy Bees Chelmsford. We chose this venue as it is close to town and an easy walk to the train station. They have extended opening hours to early drop and late picks ups, they have big classes so therefore quite a lot of flexibility if you need to book an extra session at late notice. They have a lovely outdoor garden that all ages can use. Due to these reasons, it is one of the more expensive nurseries but we felt it was worth it for us! It is a big nursery so children who are slightly more sensitive may feel overwhelmed at first. However, the staff are lovely. One of my daughters is more sensitive and really needed help settling into the baby room and they spent lots of time and effort making her feel happy at nursery and she loves it now! Overall, I would definitely recommend it!
Busy Bees have been fabulous with my little girl. Since joining, she has come on leaps and bounds in terms of playing and learning how to interact. As a covid baby, she spent most of her first year only interacting with parents. Being here has given her the confidence she needs to make friends and...
A plus factor from the parents perspective is the on-site chef! A dream for busy parents making sure we don't have to faff around with lunchboxes and not worrying about frozen ready meals! Each seasonal menu looks great and my little girl loves all of them!

Busy Bees Chelmsford has been brilliant for our little boy who has been attending for the last 18 months. He is now almost three and the interactions, with both staff and other children, he had through lockdowns have been invaluable to his development. The staff and facilities are fantastic and our boy really enjoys his time there. The learning and how he has developed his confidence have also been great.

Busy Bees Chelmsford is a great nursery! Our daughter and son both love going there. Everyone is so friendly. The staff are warm and welcoming, and very helpful and informative if we have any questions. The indoor and outdoor facilities are first-rate; the organised activities are well-thought-out and the nursery’s educational framework has really boosted our children’s learning and development. I can’t recommend Busy Bees Chelmsford highly enough!
We are very happy with the nursery and staff, this reflects in my son's development and overall behaviour. The nursery were able to recognise that my son required a couple of extra settling in sessions which they happily accommodated and...
Also, I have to add, nursery has managed to get my toddler into a really good sleeping and eating routine which we also mirror at home and it makes life easier for everyone!

My son joined Busy Bees Chelmsford during the pandemic and the support we have received since the moment he joined has been fantastic. The improvement in his language and comprehension can be attributed to the care, attention and educational play he takes part in at nursery. He mastered potty training really quickly due to the guidance and encouragement that both my son and I received. The team make you feel welcome and there’s no doubt in my mind that he’s safe and happy at nursery due to the environment that’s been created and the care, passion and diligence delivered by the staff.
