Our son has been at Busy Bees for a year and a half (joining when he was just about to turn 3). He went straight to the Pre-School Academy, and I have been nothing but impressed and delighted by the care he has received there. Shortly after he started the nursery underwent an entire renovation, meaning that all the facilities were updated and decoration all new.
The meals are nutritious, varied and fantastically prepared. ALL of the staff, without exception, are friendly, caring, fun and obviously love their jobs. The days that my son comes home covered in glitter, or flour, or paint are the best days as I can see tangible evidence that he has had a blast (as always). It's in the biggest area - the utmost care of our son that they truly excel, but it's also in the smaller details that they deserve praise (even down to supplying a free takeaway tea or coffee for parents in the morning, who may not otherwise have thought of getting such a luxury!).
I can't thank the staff enough.
Very helpful and friendly. Would recommend. Also, very clean and love the outdoor space.

Looking at the menus they have on display, the food is great! The menus are so varied it's lovely to see he's eating a great range of things I wouldn't think of cooking at home!
I would definitely recommend this nursery to others.
My daughter enjoys her days at nursery and has an excellent bond with her key worker and the staff in the nursery. The food is of an outstanding quality and the chef has been brilliant with helping out with weaning.

Our children both attend nursery. They both enjoy attending and have progressed socially and emotionally. Our daughter is thriving in first steps room due to her keyworker taking the time to understand her likes and dislikes. She has formed a super relationship with all staff too. We can leave both our children and know they will have a fun-filled day.
I would definitely recommend this nursery, and feel confident that my daughter is being cared for exceptionally well.

From the moment I walked through the door with my children, I felt at ease. The staff not only made me feel comfortable and secure but they make my children feel this way every day.
Both my children love attending the nursery and can't wait to run through the door to see the children / staff and what activities they will be doing for the day.
The current manager and assistance manager is doing a fantastic job.
Thank you, Busy Bee's and keep up the good work for the next lot of children looking to join !
He also enjoys the food. He gets on well with all the staff who look after him.

Hello, my name is Jennie Gregory, and I am the Centre Director here at Chelmsford. I have over 22 years of experience in childhood education, and 18 of these have been in a management role.
I have worked across various early years settings over the years, and I bring a wealth of knowledge and a calm, supportive leadership style to our outstanding team at Chelmsford.
I hold a Level 4 qualification in childcare and education and a Level 3 qualification in management.
I am responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the centre, ensuring a safe, stimulating, and caring environment where every child can thrive.
I believe that each child is unique and deserves to be supported in their individual learning journey. I work closely with families and our team to create a welcoming and inclusive setting that fosters curiosity, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning, giving every child the best start in life.
I cannot wait to meet you and welcome you to our Outstanding nursery.
