Busy Bees Chafford Hundred Station Side (Howard Road)

What stands out most is that there are staff members who truly care about the children. It's lovely to see that level of warmth. Overall, we're very pleased with the care and support provided.

Overall, I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for their child.

My little one loves going to nursery, the staff help him learn to the best of his abilities and his confidence is blossoming. He is learning so much. Staff are friendly and want what's best for the children. :)

He has developed excellent core skills during his time at the nursery & we're now looking forward to our daughter starting this September, which feels like a natural next step given how positive our experience has been.

Really like this nursery, my daughter has developed a lot over a short period of time, especially with her speech. The nursery also did a parents evening recently which was super helpful in understanding how my daughter is like at nursery and anything she might need to work on. Her key worker is really good and really proactive in supporting my daughter e.g. with potty training. All the staff are really good and friendly. The app the nursery uses is also really good, love that its quick and easy to keep up to date on what my daughter is learning/eating/ how long she slept for etc.. and also keep up to date with other things going on in the nursery. My daughter enjoys going here and really loved the staff which is really nice to see.

We started the nursery in September 2023, really happy with how things turned out for our little one, who started at 3 and a half years old. All the staff have been very helpful, polite, attentive, etc. Special thanks to the staff who have been there for our little one since his first day of settling in, also to the director for all the help with the questions, and other staff members that I'm sorry for not mentioning right now but everyone has been great. I wish all the best to Busy Bees Howard Road, keep doing a great job!

In all the rooms, the resources and the activities are excellent. I am very happy to see both my girls progress in the nursery. I am very happy to see the pictures and the videos sent to me every day.

Since returning to nursery in September my child has settled in so well. She loves the ladies in the room looking after her, and I have full confidence in them as practitioners. The safety measures in place regarding COVID are practical and easy to follow, as well as effective. I can really tell the staff love their jobs and really care about the children.

The staff here are amazing! They are supportive, encouraging and much more important they love what they do. I don’t have a bad word to say about the cleanliness, food and activities. My little boy always enjoys himself when he goes and he has progressed educationally so much more than I could have ever hoped.

I would highly recommend this setting and in fact, I have recommended them very recently to another parent who has booked their child in to start at the nursery.

My daughter has been attending the nursery since October 2019. She is developing more and more every day. Staff are friendly and she loves going into her room. She now loves it so much she wants to attend at the weekends. She has made so many friends, all her 'best friend's as she calls them. I can't recommend enough.

Very good nursery, happy we chose this one.

My child started nursery at the start of January 2018. Prior to their start date, they attended some settling in sessions which helped them and the staff understand their routine and needs. The staff have been extremely helpful and I cannot fault them: they have looked after my child exceptionally; have spent the time communicating their day which helps me as a parent understand their meals and nappy changes, and have adapted easily when their routine at home had changed. The App that the staff use to explain their day is easy to use and can be checked at work. I am very pleased we chose this nursery as our child is happy, comfortable and well looked after - they enjoy going. I have definitely relaxed from the start and definitely feel confident that my child is being cared for.

My little girl absolutely adores coming here. The staff are excellent and attentive and I cannot fault them.

Key workers in the specific room always seem caring. I dislike the use of so many bank staff as it doesn’t provide consistency and parents don’t know who they are. Lastly, it appears that interpersonal skill and training of bank staff are not to the same high standard of key workers. Use of updates regarding traffic around nursery sent by management is really useful! Overall, I would rate nursery as very good.

Amazing staff that go above and beyond. Couldn’t think of a better place to send my little boy. Thank you all so much for everything you have done and are still doing for my little boy. I would always recommend Busy Bees to all my friends and family.

The Nursery and the Rooms are perfect; clean, creative and adapted well to suit the children’s ages. It is a loving and secure environment. Communication with the Nursery has always been very easy. I honestly could not have gone back to work if I had not have found this nursery, I one million percent recommend it!

I can not thank the staff enough for what the do for my sons.

Amazing nursery, amazing staff. I was so nervous when my daughter first started at Busy Bees. But now she's excelling, developing, growing and being well looked after at the nursery. The managers and staff are so accommodating and I would recommend this nursery to anyone and everyone. A massive thank you to you all.

The staff at Busy Bees are all fantastic. I could not ask for a nicer group of people to look after my son. Always polite and reassuring I feel at ease while I'm at work which is such a relief. My son has made great progress and always comes home in high spirits. I highly recommend this nursery to anyone. I love the parent zone app where I can log on and see what my son has been up to and look at his observations and photos etc. I look forward to watching my son grow and progress at Busy Bees.
