Over the last 3 months i've noticed an extreme difference in my granddaughter, this must be a reflection on her attendance at busy bees nursery. On the couple of occasions I've collected her, the staff are so helpful, and friendly, and happy to give me lots of information on her daily routine, along with this I've noticed she has developed from everything shes learnt, her numbers and colours have improved, and her confidence and interaction and social skills have also developed, and i'm a very proud nanna.
Her learning and development have come on leaps & bounds since attending the nursery, and I cant thank the staff enough.
My daughter and son-in-law work full time, and we had many reservations about sending her, but our worries were put at rest at the beginning, and we have had no issues since
I can't recommend the staff, and the nursery enough.
But what sets my mind at rest and my worries aside was how professional supportive, kind, friendly and protective the team are at Busy Bees nursery.
Warm friendly and highly trained I knew my son was in good hands. The manager continues to keep safety and security her priority, the highly qualified chef provides high protein nutritious yummy food by which the kids always want more. Now what could I say about the three nursery assistants my son doesn't wanna leave their arms and continues to tell me about his fun days which always ends with "I wanna go back to see my nursery teacher mummy, I don't wanna go home"
I would thoroughly recommend the nursery. I have been so pleased with their care that my 9-month-old son has now started with them and my daughter can't wait to see all the staff when we drop him off.
I spent a lot of time trying to find the right nursery for my son as I was anxious about the change and what this would mean to him. Busy Bees - Howard Road was recommended to me by a friend, I was invited in for an intro session and knew I had found the right place. It is a safe welcoming environment, the team are fantastic. My son was given various opportunities to learn, all of which he loved. So much effort goes into special occasions such as Mothers Day, Easter etc where he would have proudly made something for me or his dad. He made lots of friends and he relished in the care and attention of the "ladies" as they took the time to know HIM. I knew what he had done each day. He ate well and was encouraged with specific things when I asked for assistance, so it felt like a very personal service - despite the room being full. His transition to school was so smooth as he was prepared for it so well - he is well balanced and confidently able to assert himself in any group he finds himself.
My daughter started to attend nursery at 8 months when her mum returned to work, throughout her attending the nursery all the staff and management have supported her within her development and also been on hand to support us her parents throughout her 4 years at the nursery. My child made lots of friends at nursery and loved going into the nursery every day and enjoyed spending time with staff who she became close to. My daughter is now in the next chapter of her life at big girl school and we still go and visit her old nursery staff and the management. Thank you to all the staff at Busy Bees Grays for everything you have helped her achieve and supporting her in her development. Food standards are amazing introducing the children to a variety of textures and flavours. My daughter's mum and I highly recommend the nursery. Thank you to all staff and especially
His teachers are great, they're so attentive and caring towards him and the other children. We've always said, that children have a great instinct and intuition towards adults, and it is great having him talk about his teachers at home.
We would and already have recommended this nursery to friends and family!
Very pleased with the staff and environment of this warm and friendly nursery. My daughter's confidence has increased since she started and she thoroughly enjoys attending to play with the other children and looks forward to seeing the staff.
What a great Nursery and the perfect place to start your child's life in education off.
I am a father to a 9-year-old daughter and a 3-year-old son. Our daughter attended this nursery when it was known as 'Just Learning' and our son joined in the transition period to Busy Bees. I am therefore in a fortunate position, in that I write this review being able to compare the two companies.
I know this is a great nursery, the proof is in the pudding as it were, our daughter has turned out to be a good all-rounder and this shows she was given the right start in life.
As with most things, there is always room for improvement, which included signage so you know where the place is and a lick of paint, but this is just cosmetic.
The main things are, it has a great team who love their jobs, good facilities and it is very close to the train station.
Would I recommend this nursery to others, well the answer would be a resounding 'Yes'
