Review from Jenny H (Mother of Child) published on 20 March 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter has attended Busy Bees since the beginning of 2017 and we could not be happier with the nursery. The nursery has a real homely vibe to it and we feel like we're leaving her with family when dropping her off for the day. We are overwhelmed by how hardworking and passionate the staff are. Our daughter is thriving in this happy environment. Thank you to everyone.

Overall Experience

I am delighted with Busy Bees and to see how happy my son is there. You walk in and are greeted by such happy smiling faces of the most amazing, caring, friendly, just lovely staff who create such a welcoming, happy atmosphere, which I find so reassuring to know my son is so well looked after during his nursery day. The daily schedule is so varied and they encourage children with learning in such a relaxed fun way. At home time daily chats on my son's day are so informative and honest including everything he has eaten from the nutritious and varied menus cooked by the chef, I also find they take the time to answer any questions I ask and offer such invaluable advice. It really is a homely, lovely nursery for children to start learning their way. I can’t thank them enough for their kindness.

Both our son and daughter have been at Busy Bees at Hartham Park since 2014 and have really enjoyed it. There is a family atmosphere and we felt the children were cared for incredibly well - the longstanding staff are outstanding.

Overall Experience

Busy Bees is a fantastic nursery. I couldn’t be more thrilled with the care that my daughter receives there. The carers are great and it always feels like I’m dropping her off with friends or family as they seem to really have taken the time to get to know her. Compared with the nursery I sent my eldest child to the difference is incredible. It’s the best decision we have made! Thanks to everyone who works there.

Overall Experience

Since my child started in October 2017, I have been happy with the level of care he has received. I’ve used Busy Bees before with his older brother whom the staff remember, so it is comforting to leave him with people that I know and did a good with my eldest child.

Busy Bees day nursery is fantastic, my daughter has thrived since she started in 2016 and I cannot praise the team enough.

The nursery was awarded outstanding status by OFSTED in November 2016 which is definitely reflected in all that they do.

My son loves nursery. Every day he talks about the staff even those who are not in his room! He has come a long way with his development due to staff commitment, passion and enthusiastic attitude.

They recently got an outstanding in OFSTED which was well deserved!!!

Review from Brenda W (Mother of Child) published on 15 December 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

There are several nice nurseries in Hertford but when we were looking for a place for our little girl on my return to work we picked Busy Bees for its small size and its friendly staff. It is a converted house so each room (grouped by age) is a good size for the number of children and it never feels crowded or too busy even when they are at full capacity for that day. Each room has their own little garden area and the nursery itself is located beside a river so the kids get to watch the ducks when they swim past.

The staff are undoubtedly Busy Bees best asset. Almost every member of staff there knows my daughter (even the ones who don't look after her every day). The staff that look after her are amazing, she had never been away from me before she started and it didn't take long for her to start to put her arms put to them in the mornings. I always get a thorough update when I pick her up on how she has been and all the activities she has been doing.

Overall Experience
We love Busy Bees Hartham Park! The staff are so friendly and really seem to care about our son, who is very happy to attend. It was such a relief for us knowing that he's happy there after I started work again in September. He has come on leaps and bounds since starting, and the daily handover from the girls is very thorough so we always know how he has got on that day.
It was very important to us when we were looking for a nursery that there seemed to be long standing members of staff. We thought it would be hard for him if the team seemed to change every few weeks (we've heard that this can happen at some nurseries) but the staff at Busy Bees Hartham Park have been there for a long time so there is lots of continuity for our son.
The food that they serve is wholesome and varied and they keep our son entertained with loads of activities during the day.

Busy Bees Hartham Park more than deserves the outstanding Ofsted rating that it has been given in our opinion.

Overall Experience

Busy Bees offers a 'home from home' environment for the children. All of the staff are genuinely concerned about the children's welfare and go out of their way to make them feel comfortable. Our son enjoys the activities at the nursery, and particularly enjoys playing in the garden area, which is newly refurbished.
