    When I first came to visit I instantly knew this was the right place, the care they show the kids and the enjoyable my son has is fantastic. For a key worker who has had to work through this pandemic, the team have been so flexible and supportive. Thank you. My son absolutely loves coming here.

    I have total self‑assurance in his well being, safety, care and in all the lovely team members who look after him. He eats and sleeps really well at childcare centre and is consistently doing lovely activities, which I see throughout the day when at work on the app. Honestly, I couldn’t ask for more in a childcare centre. My son has been at Busy Bees at Springfield Chelmsford for over one year now and absolutely loves it.

    He only took 2 weeks to settle in and since then has loved going. He doesn’t even turn back to say bye as he’s in a hurry to get into the childcare centre. The team are very welcoming and supportive. I get daily updates for his day and pictures to show what he’s been up to. I couldn’t suggest the childcare centre enough. His development has also been progressing I can see the changes in his almost weekly My son joined busy bees at 16 months.

    The team at Busy Bees are so attentive and compassionate and they build fantastic relationships with the kids. Every time we pick our daughter up, she is cheerful and the team provide feedback on how she has been that day, what activities they’ve done and any concerns they have. My daughter loves going to Busy Bees and they have really helped to develop her speech, social skills and assistance her with potty training. Even during Covid and facing all the challenges associated with the pandemic, the team were fab and consistently had a smile on their faces, kept all parents informed of any cases and provided updates about government advice. I would suggest Busy Bees to anyone looking for daycare. My daughter has been at Busy Bees since she was five months old and every single person that has been involved in looking after my daughter has been outstanding.

    Everyone was so welcoming.
    Since she’s been at childcare centre she has grown so much, and she is consistently cheerful to go to the team.
    I couldn’t speak more highly of Busy Bees, every member of team I have met is expert, welcoming, approachable and really care about the kids.
    I’m so lucky that we found such an incredible childcare centre. Thank you. Even when we just went for a visit to the childcare centre, I knew it was the right place for our daughter.

    Despite the year we have experienced, they have stayed positive and upbeat throughout and been their fantastic selves despite the uncertainty. Cannot suggest Busy Bee’s at Springfield Chelmsford enough. I cannot thank the Busy Bee’s at Springfield Chelmsford team enough for the care and attention they have shown to my twins, catering for their individual needs, allowing their strengths to shine and putting up with their terrible sleep.

    The place is consistently spotless, I get all the information I need on his daily attendance and overall development. I find the team are fully committed to his growth, happiness and safety. I get in well with them all and I find this excellent, as we trust them fully with the care of our kid. It’s a lovely open, light setting with excellent facilities. Great location for Springfield and commuters, as central to town, the garden isn’t huge but perfectly sufficient. Both my husband and I are delighted with the welcoming team here at Busy Bees.

    He attends two days a week and loves his two days. He talks happily about what he does each day, and the app helps us to keep track of his day when he is less talkative.
    The team are inviting and attentive, and even on the days when he is less sure, once he sees them he happily trots in. Busy Bees have provided outstanding childcare for my son.

    The team are all extremely expert but also approachable and so welcoming, I sense that we build a relationship with each and every one of them which is comforting as they are with our kids most days! Everybody is attentive and we are kept up to date regularly on the development and daily tasks our kids are carrying out. I also want to point out how well the childcare centre have dealt with the ever changing situations with what Covid-19 brings. They have adapted so quickly, so well and made everyone sense just as secure as before. Busy Bees at Springfield Chelmsford is an outstanding childcare centre which I would highly suggest to anybody in the area.

    My son loves it here and wakes up every morning delighted that it’s a Busy Bees day, and doesn’t even say goodbye to me at the door anymore as he’s so desperate to get in and have enjoyable! Team are welcoming and approachable and really get to know your kid to help their personal development. Any issues are dealt with swiftly and professionally (not that there have been many!). My son has thrived here and I would highly suggest to anyone considering finding a childcare centre in the area. Absolutely remarkable childcare centre that I cannot fault at all.

    Variety of activities that is both contemporary and stimulating. Exceptional feedback and use of the app. Consistently an opportunity to have a discussion about anything related to your kid or kids. Would definitely suggest, in fact if I do, I even receive a referral bonus! Well led team of team, consistently very supportive and offer excellent development.

    Team in all of the rooms and office are very welcoming, attentive and supportive. There is a large variety of activities, especially in the preschool room. Regular assessments help you see how they are getting on and I sense comfortable to raise any questions/issues/concerns and that I will be helped. Couldn’t ask for more! My daughter has attended this setting for over 2.5 years and is very cheerful here.

    She has attended since she was 9 months old and at each stage of her development, she has been provided with stimulating, enjoyable and exciting discovering opportunities. She is now a confident and cheerful little girl who will be starting primary school next year and she will be absolutely ready for the transition because of the dedication of the team. I would definitely suggest this childcare centre setting. Our daughter loves attending childcare centre.

    From the members of team to the overall setting, we have been blown away. our daughter enjoys stimulating, enjoyable and exciting activities during her day, numerous healthy and nutritious meals and comes home fulfilled and cheerful from her day at school. Her speech, intellect and overall well being has skyrocketed since attending this school and would highly suggest this school to any parent looking for an outstanding setting for their kids. The best school we could have ever found for our daughter.

    The team are clearly passionate about their jobs and define professionalism. My daughter has been in attendance since the age of 12-weeks, 4-days per week, and I have felt supported along the entire way. My daughter is growing into an independent, curious and cheerful little girl and absolutely loves attending. A wide range of activities are on offer – I can hardly keep up, and the use of the interactive app to update on daily development and wellbeing is appreciated. My daughter is so cheerful upon arrival and looks for her key members of team with glee. Any questions I have had, have been swiftly answered – nothing is too much trouble – especially as we have had some special requests. The centre manager is consistently available, as are all members of team. I would have no hesitation in recommending this childcare centre – a real gem. On-site parking is easy, and opening hours are excellent for parents who work long hours. Busy Bees in an outstanding childcare centre.

    They have had an extremely tough and testing 18 months or so but have come through brilliantly, you wouldn’t be able to tell!
    Thank you so much to the manager, assistant centre director and the team. I can’t suggest this childcare centre enough; both my daughters have/are attended/ing and have flourished with the outstanding care provided by the team.

    They look after the kids so well, accommodate for their individual’s needs and make them really sense part of the Busy Bee’s family.
    My daughter absolutely loves going to Pre School at Busy Bees on a daily basis and we’ll be sending my Son as well next year.
    It was a hard decision to choose to send our daughter to Childcare centre, but I do not regret it for a second, she has so much enjoyable and learns an unbelievable amount. It has set her up so incredibly well for school and I’ve got no doubt some of her Pre School friends will be on the Birthday invite list for years to come. Busy Bees Springfield is simply put, top of their class.

    The team are really excellent, and the activities the kids do are varied.
    I sense like the team really knows what she enjoys and take the time to ensure she is cheerful.
    We get regular updates on the app and lovely photos.
    When our daughter was ill we had a lot of care, advice and assistance from the team at the childcare centre, which really helped.
    We required the childcare centre to keep a food diary which was filled in thoroughly every day without fail.
    I’m so pleased we decided to enrol her here. Busy Bees, Springfield Road has been remarkable.
    Our daughter has been attending this childcare centre for the past four months.
    She settled in really quickly and absolutely loves going.

    Now my 9-month-old boy is going to Busy Bees Springfield full time and he’s the happiest baby ever. I can’t thank them enough for the care and adore that have for my little one, plus his development development is incredible and that is thanks to the lovely team at Busy Bees. My older son was part of the first generation when the Springfield Busy Bees was opening in Chelmsford, now in year 3 he still asks me if he can go back to playtime there.
