Busy Bees Croydon, Haling Park

Deciding to send my son to nursery younger than I did with the rest of my children and where I wasn't based, was really hard me; being practitioner myself.

My son started Busy Bees soon after it had opened in 2016 and is now in pre-school. He has come along leaps and bounds, thanks to the warm welcome received every day he goes in, and hard work of the team. With the open partnership, he is developing very well and is happy to attend; he speaks fondly of all his experiences there.

The nursery took on a whole new level of service when the new manager was appointed (happy days!). I've also recommended a number of people in the past few months whose children now attend.

I wasn't surprised when the nursery was awarded an OUTSTANDING! Well done all!

We are very happy with the care, compassion and attention shown to our 19-month-old daughter. She is always happy to attend Busy Bees each and every morning and has grown very fond of all the staff. This gives us every confidence that she will be well looked after throughout the day which is further supported by the great updates we receive through the parent zone app, giving regular meal and activity updates. We couldn't be happier with Busy Bees at Haling Park over the last 9 months. Thank you.

The nursery atmosphere and cleanliness is a home from home and maintains an impeccable high standard always. The food and menus are amazing. I would 100% recommend everyone.

He has built wonderful relationships with staff. I couldn't ask for a better setting.

My daughter has attended Busy Bees since August 2017, and I honestly cannot put into words how much WE love it! Each morning she says 'Mummy please can I go to nursery today?' and each night 'When I wake up it's time to go to nursery isn't it?'. Leaving my children with anyone has always been a challenge for me, so choosing a nursery I thought would be difficult, but she has been happy from the first day. I genuinely feel the staff care for the children individually and 'act as mum' while I'm at work. This is exactly what I wanted, and more importantly, needed from a nursery. The pre-school staff can't be praised highly enough - they are ALL amazing at what they do.

The nursery has impressed me beyond expectation with my just turned 3 year old nearly writing her name, the way that the children in pre-school are encouraged to learn is impressive, to say the least.

I honestly cannot write in 1000 characters why we love Busy Bees Haling Park as much as we do. Just go and see for yourself!

My daughter joined Busy Bees at Haling Park in early November and she has excelled in her learning milestones. She is able to confidentially use phonics, recognise all numbers and spell her name. The staff are brilliant.

What else does a mother need from their child's nursery?

All of the staff are so warm and welcoming. The food always looks great and my boy seems to enjoy it. They're so many activities for the little ones, I notice differences in my child every week, where he has learnt something more. They really are faultless and I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a nursery that your child will be left in safe hands with the incredible staff here.

Even though our time at Busy Bees has only been eight months, my daughter settled in very quickly with the help of the nursery teachers. They have a lot of patience and really try and work with you on the continual learning, in and outside of class, especially for preparation for reception. Thank you ladies!

All in all we are very happy and would recommend the nursery to our friends and family.

I immediately had a good feeling when I stepped into Busy Bees at Haling Park. Finding good quality child care can be a difficult task for parents as I can only speak for myself but so far my son seems to enjoy this nursery.

My daughter thoroughly enjoys her days at nursery. She has learnt her phonics, numbers and colours successfully much to my amazement. Her personal and social development is also above expectations. The nursery setting is of a high standard and I have no worries about leaving my daughter in their care. Five out of five stars.

The nursery resources are amazing and my son always tells me about what he has done during the day.

The staff here are always so friendly. I feel very comfortable leaving my son here during the day and feel the staff take great care to ensure my son feels safe, secure and happy.

The nursery manager is always approachable and indeed another friendly face.

This is the 4th child I've put through nursery and Busy Bees at Haling Park is by far the best I've seen.

The nursery is very clean, well maintained and feels well run. The team are pleasant and attentive. They provide good handovers. Overall I am very happy with this nursery.

My son has learnt a lot since being at Busy Bees At Haling Park. He struggled initially as he wasn't used to seeing other people and children. After a month there, we struggle to get a kiss as he's happy to run to the door. He comes home singing the nursery rhymes. In terms of the staff, their feedback is really valued. They adhere to my requests as a parent and give me feedback when necessary.

The manager is friendly and very welcoming. She is happy to assist and support where needed. The meals can be multicultural which would help other children like mine who prefer meals from their culture.

The nursery manager and all the staff at Busy Bees At Haling Park are absolutely amazing.

Leaving my child in their care is literally home from home. My daughter is extremely happy and has learnt so much. The level of care and attention is second to none.

Since my child has been attending Busy Bees I have noticed a lot of changes in her learning. I am very happy and pleased and also the staff teams are very polite and friendly.

Our daughter has progressed so much and it is always a lovely surprise when we get to see all her nursery developments at home. The management team and staff give good advice to embed teaching and learning at home, which is great as this helps to maintain a good routine for her. Our daughter gets excited when we arrive in the morning and sometimes wants to show me all she has done for the day when we arrive to pick her up, which indicates that she is very happy with her surroundings. This was a VERY hard choice for us at six months but was by far the right choice.

In September my child will be moving onto school and I could not have had her in a better setting to prepare her for school. The manager and staff are very welcoming and friendly and address any concerns or worries I may have had in regards to my daughter. We will be sad for her to leave but thank them for all they have done in regards to her moving on to her next chapter.
