Busy Bees Chafford Hundred Station Side (Howard Road)

Amazing Amazing, Amazing, I was really apprehensive to change my son’s nursery having moved into a new area it was the best choice.
But what sets my mind at rest and my worries aside was how professional supportive, kind, friendly and protective the team are at Busy Bees nursery.
Warm friendly and highly trained I knew my son was in good hands. The manager continues to keep safety and security her priority, the highly qualified chef provides high protein nutritious yummy food by which the kids always want more. Now what could I say about the three nursery assistants my son doesn’t wanna leave their arms and continues to tell me about his fun days which always ends with “I wanna go back to see my nursery teacher mummy, I don’t wanna go home”

My daughter was at the nursery from 6 months until recently when she left for school. The staff have made us comfortable from day one and are like a second family. They have made leaving her in their care much easier than I thought it was going to be.
I would thoroughly recommend the nursery. I have been so pleased with their care that my 9-month-old son has now started with them and my daughter can’t wait to see all the staff when we drop him off.

Over the last 3 months i’ve noticed an extreme difference in my granddaughter, this must be a reflection on her attendance at busy bees nursery. On the couple of occasions I’ve collected her, the staff are so helpful, and friendly, and happy to give me lots of information on her daily routine, along with this I’ve noticed she has developed from everything shes learnt, her numbers and colours have improved, and her confidence and interaction and social skills have also developed, and i’m a very proud nanna.

My daughter attended the nursery for 4 years from the age of 8 months after looking around at local nurseries. My daughter has gained in confidence throughout her time at the nursery and built a fantastic bond with all the staff here at Busy Bees Howard Road. She formed bonds with children and still talks about her nursery friends. My daughter’s key workers always involved myself and her father with her development and were always on hand to offer us help and support. The management within Busy Bees Howard Road uphold their open door policy and are always there to listen and support you as a family unit.

The food within Busy Bees is fantastic offering a wide range of new foods and staff are helpful in supporting children in eating.

Myself and her father would like to thank everyone at Busy Bees Howard Road for helping our daughter grow and move on to the next stage of her life at big girl school.

Amazing nursery, amazing staff. I was so nervous when my daughter first started at Busy Bees. But now she’s excelling, developing, growing and being well looked after at the nursery. The managers and staff are so accommodating and I would recommend this nursery to anyone and everyone. A massive thank you to you all.

We love the nursery. The staff are fantastic, caring & friendly. We wouldn’t take our children anywhere else.
My eldest son is currently in pre-school & has been there for almost 3years. He is dropped off in the mornings where he has his breakfast, fueling his tummy for a busy day ahead. He is involved in many activities where we notice each day he has learned something new. His confidence has grown and interacts well with friends & helps to build bonds with the carers. They have large rooms & garden where they can go out for fresh air.
My youngest son is on his 4th week, at first I was upset to leave him but as the day went on I felt at ease knowing where he was. Both are fed well during the day. Both open in trying new recipes as there is a wide variety of them that you can take home to try. All the children eat together encouraging each other to eat well. They are all fed healthy and nutritional meals and snacks throughout the day, Yum.
I can not thank the staff enough for what the do for my sons.

Key workers in the specific room always seem caring. I dislike the use of so many bank staff as it doesn’t provide consistency and parents don’t know who they are. Lastly, it appears that interpersonal skill and training of bank staff are not to the same high standard of key workers. Use of updates regarding traffic around nursery sent by management is really useful! Overall, I would rate nursery as very good.

My child started nursery at the start of January 2018. Prior to their start date, they attended some settling in sessions which helped them and the staff understand their routine and needs. The staff have been extremely helpful and I cannot fault them: they have looked after my child exceptionally; have spent the time communicating their day which helps me as a parent understand their meals and nappy changes, and have adapted easily when their routine at home had changed. The App that the staff use to explain their day is easy to use and can be checked at work. I am very pleased we chose this nursery as our child is happy, comfortable and well looked after – they enjoy going. I have definitely relaxed from the start and definitely feel confident that my child is being cared for.

My daughter has been attending the nursery since late 2018. She was very unsettled at first, and it took her a while to settle, but now she loves it. It was difficult dropping her off whilst she was so upset, but staff and management reassured me, and made me feel better. I was sent pictures on the app of how settled she was during the day and this put my mind at rest.
Very good nursery, happy we chose this one.

The staff here are amazing! They are supportive, encouraging and much more important they love what they do. I don’t have a bad word to say about the cleanliness, food and activities. My little boy always enjoys himself when he goes and he has progressed educationally so much more than I could have ever hoped.
