Busy Bees Braintree

I have two boys 7 years and 3 years old, I have been using Braintree Busy Bees since Aug 2010 to present day. Since needing to return back to work, after looking into different childcare providers this nursery ticked all my boxes!!! I am reassured that my children have been well cared for in all aspects of their health and well-being. I especially liked hearing how he’s been throughout the day, having the diary helped to remind me. Having the opportunity to attend the parents evenings throughout the year, gives me another insight to his development, progression and how to improve areas of his learning. Now the nursery has implemented a system called I connect, where I can now access all of this information about his care and development in my own home, this helps as now my husband can also access this too.
I would highly recommend this nursery to any parents/carers. At least to look around see if this also ticks your boxes….

We moved my son to this nursery after a recommendation from another parent. We had issues at the other nursery with staff turnover and key worker allocation. It was the best thing we could have done.
My son benefited from being in a baby room that has all ages up until two-year-old. He likes to copy the older children and help the babies.
He has an amazing bond with his key worker and all the staff in the baby room. He is also popular with the staff in other rooms, this just reassures me that he is happy regardless of which age setting he is in.
The staff at Busy Bees are fantastic, they listen to concerns and support you in decisions you make in regards to your child. They keep you informed. They take the time to get to know you and your child.
Going back to work was incredibly hard and after our first nursery experience, we were very concerned. Busy Bees have made it easier and I know that they truly care for my son and are interested in his development as much as we are.

Lovely nursery with big spacious rooms so plenty of activities and space to play.
Lovely girls, knowledgeable caring and helpful. Really care about the children.

Busy Bees is a great nursery, we have experienced a few other settings and Busy Bees is by far the best in Braintree.

The staff really care about the children and form amazing relationships with them. It’s not just a job to them, which makes a huge difference in the quality of care the children receive.

The setting itself is very spacious and plenty to keep little minds busy.

My daughter has developed at an incredible rate because of the Busy Bees team and I can’t thank them enough for the effort they have put in.

My daughter has attended Busy Bees since she was 18 months, she will now be starting school in September. In this time, they have been amazing, she has come on leaps and bounds with their help and I can’t thank them enough for their hard work and effort. The staff are all friendly, there is always freshly made tasty food available (all made on-site by their chefs), clean and spacious setting with plenty of things for the kids to do. No matter what your child is into, there is always plenty of activities for them to do. The staff are all fantastic, they clearly care about the children and take pride in their work. Cannot recommend this nursery highly enough!

My son had been a part of the Busy Bees in Braintree family since he was one. The staff are incredible and so supportive. They helped my boy overcome many obstacles including behavioural problems, without them I couldn’t have done it! My son is still asking about his key worker to this day and misses the nursery. My son always had an amazing time at nursery and they always had so many different activities on for the children. The nursery never failed to make myself a card for Valentine’s, Mother’s Day or even my birthday! They are all so caring, if there was ever an issue this was address immediately and resolved. The standard and quality of food was incredible, so much variety to accommodate for everyone. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.

My daughter started nursery when she was 3 years old. She was very shy and all the time she had never done anything without me, but now she is a different person. She is more friendly to play with children, she even start talking more and everything was happening because of the amazing teachers…I am really happy my daughter goes to Busy Bees…the best decision ever.

Each time we collect our child, she is smiling and excited to tell us about her day. We are always given a review of her activities, her behaviour and her interactions, which is very reassuring and gives us a vital insight into her life away from the home.

Excellent setting, where both my children attended. Very caring and friendly staff, always with a smile on their faces, happy to be there. My children have had the best care here, they were well looked after and supported through different activities with their skills and learning. Communication is great through the app with live updates.

The nursery has been amazing since day one. My son started towards the end of lockdown, and dropping your child off at the door of a place you haven’t been able to visit was tough, but they made it as easy and reassuring transition. Ever since he has flourished, socially, developmentally and academically. He loves going and walks in every day with a big smile, knowing he is going to be in a caring, safe and fun environment. They have been an amazing support with his speech delay and milk allergy.
