Busy Bees Chelmsford

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Busy Bees in Chelmsford!
It really is a wonderful nursery. The staff are amazing and the children in their care are their absolute top priority, ensuring that they are receiving everything they need at all times.
My son has been at Busy Bees since 3 months old and is now in foundation class, and there hasn’t been a moment that I have worried about him being in the care of the staff there.
They not only care about teaching our children, but the thing that really stands out for me is that it’s like a family and we all are included. They ask about our children and our family and build this into the day, ensuring that they are talking and teaching in a way that really engages the children.
My son comes home smiling and telling me about the fun things that he’s learnt that day and all the things that he has done with his friends and staff.
The biggest thank you to all for everything you’ve done for our son and also our family!

My daughter has been attending Busy Bees in Chelmsford full time since April 2018 and is due to leave to go to school this year. The staff at the nursery are fantastic, from the senior leadership team down to the more junior members of staff. My daughter has loved all the stages at Busy Bees in Chelmsford from the baby room right through to the Foundation room where she is now. Updates of her day are posted on the parents’ app including photos and comments and a full handover is given at the end of each day. The activities are varied and I feel that the nursery are doing a great job helping to get her ready for the transition to school. I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery to any other parents.

Busy Bees Chelmsford is a great nursery! Our daughter and son both love going there. Everyone is so friendly. The staff are warm and welcoming, and very helpful and informative if we have any questions. The indoor and outdoor facilities are first-rate; the organised activities are well-thought-out and the nursery’s educational framework has really boosted our children’s learning and development. I can’t recommend Busy Bees Chelmsford highly enough!

My son joined Busy Bees Chelmsford during the pandemic and the support we have received since the moment he joined has been fantastic. The improvement in his language and comprehension can be attributed to the care, attention and educational play he takes part in at nursery. He mastered potty training really quickly due to the guidance and encouragement that both my son and I received. The team make you feel welcome and there’s no doubt in my mind that he’s safe and happy at nursery due to the environment that’s been created and the care, passion and diligence delivered by the staff.

My oldest child has been coming to Busy Bees Chelmsford since she was 9months old and is now 4.5 and she loves it and she has such a lovely relationship with all the staff at the nursery. My youngest who is 1.5 has only just started a fixed day after being born in covid times and Busy Bees have been so good at settling her in. They were also amazing at being flexible prior to this while my industry recovered after lockdown. I’m very happy we decided to send both our girls here. The team are all so lovely and I know how much my girls learn and grow there.

Both my daughters have attended Busy Bees Chelmsford. We chose this venue as it is close to town and an easy walk to the train station. They have extended opening hours to early drop and late picks ups, they have big classes so therefore quite a lot of flexibility if you need to book an extra session at late notice. They have a lovely outdoor garden that all ages can use. Due to these reasons, it is one of the more expensive nurseries but we felt it was worth it for us! It is a big nursery so children who are slightly more sensitive may feel overwhelmed at first. However, the staff are lovely. One of my daughters is more sensitive and really needed help settling into the baby room and they spent lots of time and effort making her feel happy at nursery and she loves it now! Overall, I would definitely recommend it!

Really great nursery. They’re always pushing the boundaries and trying to get the best out of the kid’s couldn’t ask for more. We’ve had experience of the nursery right from babies and my daughter has always had a good lasting bond with her carers.

Our son goes to Busy Bees three full days a week and absolutely loves it. The facilities are super and he particularly loves the garden space. He’s made great friends and loves the staff home-cooked food too.

This our second child we have had attended there and both have loved it and I have found it to be a very well run nursery. Special mention to one member of staff who goes the extra mile. Our children are very very happy to attend

Whilst choosing a right nursery for our daughter we benchmarked all best nurseries in Chelmsford and this one scored highest because it:
– Is the cleanest,
– Has new/not worn out toys and furniture,
– Has private play garden of a fair size,
– Windows aren’t covered by film like we seen in other places so kids can enjoy sunlight,
– Aircon was not stinky as we seen in an other place.
– It supports an app (provides daily updates on what child does but also includes observations and assessments which we find brilliant).
Our daughter has been there since she turned 15 months, for over a year now. She loves it there and immediately developed a great bond with her carers. I can see that she is liked there and feels very good. She learned a lot already and started developing a good British accent that she would never learn at home! I can recommend to everyone considering a nursery in Chelmsford – even if it isn’t the closest one to where they live.
