Busy Bees Hartham Park

I'm really delighted that I chose Busy Bees Hartham for my little girl! Every member of staff is very warm and welcoming, they care deeply for the children and make every effort to ensure they are happy and well settled. Communication is fantastic, I always know what my child is learning, how their day has been (including naps and food!), and receive photos of what they've been up to! It's such a lovely nursery with a nice community, family feel to it. I definitely recommend it to other parents!

We're truly grateful for the wonderful environment they've created and the care they provide every day. We highly recommend Busy Bees at Hartham Park.

We have had consistently positive experiences with the team at Hartham. Our daughter enjoys the setting and has strong bonds with many of the team. The management and key workers are helpful and accessible. Feedback is regular and reliable. I feel strongly that the individual needs of my daughter are considered and met. My partner and I feel that our daughter is in safe hands.

My daughter has a wonderful experience at Busy Bees. The staff are incredibly caring, attentive, and genuinely passionate about supporting each child's development. The environment is warm, welcoming, and always clean and well organised.

It's reassuring to know my daughter is in such a safe and nurturing environment.

I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a supportive and stimulating place for their child.

Ultimately, I'd recommend Busy Bees Hartham Commons. The app is easy to use and carers seem to use it a good amount. We feel that our son is safe and well taken care of. Which gives us great peace of mind.

The team are all so friendly and always give thorough feedback on pick up! Their app regularly updates us on everything needed to reassure me of her health and happiness. My daughter really enjoys her days at Nursery!

The photos updates always make my day as she always has a smile on her face and 9 times out of 10 doesn't event want to come home.

My daughter has been attending since she was 9 months old. Throughout her time at Busy Bees Hartham Park, she has thrived in each room and is now nearly 3 in the preschool. All staff who have taken care of her have been amazing, supportive, reassuring, comforting and really adapted activities to help her development. They go above and beyond for her care needs especially as she can be very poorly, resulting in many days off which can be an adjustment for her upon returning. However, without fail, staff always welcome her with a smile and positive energy which allows her to feel safe, happy and secure wherever she is there and this puts me at ease too!

Our daughter joined Busy Bees Hartham Park at 1 year old, in 2023, following a successful settling-in period and she has been thriving ever since! All the members of staff are so attentive and friendly. The members of staff know all the children that attend the nursery and that is a testament to the beautiful culture they have cultivated there. We are always greeted with a warm welcome at drop-offs and pick-ups. We also love the app, which the nursery uses to keep us updated on our daughter's development and the staff take their time to send us pictures, which we really appreciate. It is such a lovely nursery.

Communication is brilliant. Couldn't ask for a better, more nurturing and friendly environment. For baby or myself!

Busy Bee, Hartham Park was our first choice and I know my little boy is extremely happy here. Starting in the morning, when he is greeted at the door by a smiling staff member (he's just as excited to see them) and continuing throughout the day, he is provided with a safe space to play, learn and sleep(!) at his pace. I can tell the staff members truly care about him, I'm delighted he got a spot here.

We were new to the Hertford area and our daughter joined in January 2023 at 3 years old. We were a bit nervous about her starting a new nursery and settling in but we needn't have worried. Our daughter absolutely loves going to Busy Bees, she skips on the way in. The staff are so caring and genuinely care about the children. They do so many activities to keep the children interested and happy. We are so happy that we got a space at Busy Bees. Thanks to all the staff.

Our one year old daughter has been going to Busy Bees Hartham Park for a few months now and she seems so happy there. The staff are so welcoming and caring and our daughter has built such great relationships with them so fast, which says so much. The development our daughter has already had since being there is very obvious as well, it is a joy to witness. Definitely recommend!

My 1 year old son has settled so well into Busy Bees Hartham Park. The staff are all attentive and friendly. They genuinely care about the well-being of all the children. I have seen such a development in my son's gross and fine motor skills. The staff are very passionate about developing the children and wanting what is best for them. I would 100% recommend this nursery - so happy we picked Busy Bees at Hartham Park

Our daughter joined in 2020, during covid restrictions, but her transition was seamless and ever since, it has felt like dropping her into family each day. The staff are caring, attentive, passionate, always smiling and helpful and we know each day she attends nursery, that her day is fun, structured and fulfilling. She is so happy there. The food and menu are excellent. There is a very safe, positive, encouraging and inclusive environment. Couldn't recommend highly enough.

Both of my children have attended Busy Bees; one who has just started school and the youngest who still attends. I cannot sing the praises enough of all of the wonderful staff here. From the moment my eldest started they put my mind at ease very quickly. They take care in following any likes/dislikes/allowing for the amount/length of naps, any comforters they may be used to etc. They are so caring, warm, compassionate and flexible. They have all been so personable too and we have developed a lovely relationship with the staff as parents. They take time in creating activities that stimulate their learning through play and both my children have come on leaps and bounds here. The meal choices are great and I have always been amazed at the variety of meals they have had here. My children love all of the staff here and my eldest says he misses Busy Bees a lot......I think that speaks for itself!

Our son started at Busy Bees in January aged 2. I'd been a stay-at-home mum until then so he had never really been looked after by anyone other than me and his dad so I was feeling understandably a little anxious... but he settled in so quickly and absolutely loves it! The staff have been so friendly and he is always happy when I collect him after his sessions. It also feels like the nursery has done a lot to make itself COVID-safe whilst still remaining a warm and child-centred place. I've been particularly impressed by the management team who seem really engaged in the life of the nursery, genuinely interested in the children, and are very approachable.

It is important to note, their approach to lockdown and when the time came to return back, was simply outstanding. The communication continued throughout even providing activity packs for the children to do. They helped my daughter to return back confidently and to help prepare her for school (especially as she had been at home with me in these quite surreal times). Well done Busy Bees!

We're so glad we got a place for our daughter here. She's happy, stimulated and seems quite at ease with being dropped off in the morning - a testament to the staff and environment. As parents, we also feel well informed, that the staff always have time for a chat and most importantly, that our little girl is safe and happy.

I cannot recommend it more highly. The Ofsted score for this nursery is Outstanding, but for us, that was a secondary point, with the most important being the love and care the staff have shown both our children. They have really enjoyed being there and have developed into confident girls. It really has been a home from home experience. The high levels of staff retention are really important for consistency for the children and suggest this is a fun place to be for the carers too, which I think filters down into the experience the children have who attend.
