March 20, 2017 at 12:00 amFirst I would like to say thank you to the staff. She let me know more about how good it is at Busy Bees nursery and all the teachers are so caring. My daughter learned so much. I am so happy my daughter is in this nursery.

March 21, 2017 at 12:00 amMy daughter attends Busy Bees nursery. I am very happy with the care she receives. My daughter is always happy to go to nursery and talk about all of the fun things she has done through the day and friends she has played with. The outdoor space at this setting is brilliant a lot of the other nurseries I looked at didn’t have such a big space. The staff are friendly and helpful and always give in depth and helpful feedback at the end of the day.

March 21, 2017 at 12:00 amI have been using Busy Bees Greenwich since my daughter was 11 months and have always been happy. The nursery is clean, the practitioners are always attentive and really bond with the children. Food is freshly made and always appropriate to the children’s age/needs. I love their great garden as I think it is important for the kids to be outside when the weather permits. Now my daughter is almost 2 years and we are very happy.

April 24, 2018 at 12:00 amWe are very pleased with the excellent childcare offered at Busy Bees, Greenwich. Our daughter attends and receives excellent care by professional staff who very clearly care for the children and want to provide the best. We feel at ease leaving our daughter at Busy Bees while we go to work and return to find a happy child. To me that is the best feedback I can offer, knowing that I have peace of mind and feel safe to leave my daughter with you.

April 24, 2018 at 12:00 amFrom the beginning, I have been very pleased with this nursery and the various people who have people who have cared for my daughter. She shows improvement in one way or another every time I pick her up.
In the summer, she gets to spend time in a fantastic garden too.

July 2, 2019 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been at Busy Bees for the last three years and my son was also previously here, and I have always been extremely happy with the level of care the nursery has provided, both of my children have been very happy here. Two things which really set the nursery apart for me are the staff and the outdoor play spaces.
The staff really care for the kids, and there is a good mix of younger staff and more experienced staff members in each room, and I always felt that the transition between rooms was handled very well. Communication is good, any concerns I’ve ever raised have been dealt with quickly and I like the app that shares pictures and observations.
My daughter is going to school soon and her key worker has really gone above and beyond in helping her learn her phonics and letters.
The outdoor garden is huge compared to most others in the area and it is heavily used all year round in all weathers which is great for the kids- my little ones loved it.

June 26, 2020 at 12:00 amTwo of my daughters have attended this nursery (one of them is currently still attending whereas the other has moved on to school). Above anything when choosing childcare of any sorts you need to be comfortable with where you leave your children. I can say hand-on-heart that I am always comfortable leaving my children in the care of the staff at Busy Bees. It has to be around five years they have been looking after my children and inevitably in that time staff have come and gone but they are always great. Staff are hot on policy and procedure to ensure the safety and well-being of the children but at the same time easy going with real-world working parents in a rush, who of course forget to bring things in or have accidentally brought in their child dressed in Pyjamas (guilty). Overall Busy Bee’s Greenwich have a spotless track record with my children and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

July 2, 2020 at 12:00 amBoth children have attended this nursery. They both are happy and often talk about their key workers at home. That’s a good sign they have created a good relationship. The manager is always willing to act on any request. They are a good team and makes life easy.

July 11, 2020 at 12:00 amThis is a lovely nursery that our daughter (who is due to leave for reception) has attended since turning one. It was an anxious decision for us to leave her, being first-time parents, however, the staff went above and beyond to get her settled, support her through the years and even did a great job with weaning and potty training which took the time off our hands. We received daily feedback so that we were involved and aware of our daughter’s day at the nursery.
Our daughter has been very happy at this nursery and has formed great relationships with all staff and children. She comes home happy and speaks fondly of her day. The staff are cheerful, helpful and knowledgeable and answer any queries or handle any issues very promptly and professionally. We will be very sad to move on as this has been a great experience for us all and a positive influence on our daughter’s early years which we feel has prepared her for the next stage at reception.

July 21, 2020 at 12:00 amWe have found Busy Bees, Greenwich, to be a fantastic nursery. In the last 3 weeks, we have seen our daughter gain a lot of confidence. She is so happy to go to the nursery and enjoys the facilities. Your staff are brilliant at the centre and we have complete faith in them and their abilities.

July 27, 2020 at 12:00 amBest nursery in the local area. The rooms are tidy and well equipped to educate the child. My daughter loves their garden and her carer. The only recommendation is to provide the monthly report for the parents to know how their child is progressing. Other than that, it is a fantastic nursery.

July 27, 2020 at 12:00 amSomeone recommended Busy Bees to me in 2012 when my daughter was old enough to start in a nursery. She started in 2013 and finished at Busy bees in 2016. And when it was time for my second child to start nursery, I didn’t have to think about which nursery he was going to. I immediately enrolled him also at Busy Bees.
My family have been satisfied with our time here. I have had the peace of mind every time I dropped my children off and when I pick them up.
I would choose Busy Bees, Greenwich over and over again if I have to do this again.
Thank you to all the staff. Thank you for loving my babies. Thank you for nurturing them when we put them in your care. I am definitely going to miss the nursery and the familiar faces.

September 17, 2020 at 12:00 amOur son has been at Busy Bees since he was 8-months-old. He’s now two and a half and is absolutely thriving there.
Since he started, his communication skills have advanced rapidly, and they only continue to improve. He’s incredibly happy at nursery and cared with for affection by the staff, all whilst being professional.
If we share things our son showed an interest in at home, then the nursery staff support his learning by building on this – adapting activities to advance his development. They also challenge him to learn new skills, which they share with us so we can support his learning at home.
The nursery team listen to any feedback we have, and handle us with the same patience and care they employ with my son.
I deeply appreciate how wonderful they’ve been as it has alleviated a lot of my ‘mum guilt’ about leaving him in the care of other people.
I would highly recommend this nursery.

September 18, 2020 at 12:00 amMy little boy was a very shy little boy before starting this nursery, me and my husband have seen such growth in him with just over a year attending Busy Bee Greenwich. Staff are all so caring and understanding of my son’s skin condition and go over and above to ensure we are kept updated with how he is doing and ensuring that our son is safe and well. Friendly and professional staff members who are trustworthy and always greet you with a smile. I would highly recommend this nursery and I’m so pleased with how much they have helped our little boy grow and thrive!

September 22, 2020 at 12:00 amMy grandson loves Busy Bees at Greenwich. He has thrived in the nursery environment with the help of his key workers. Every time I pick him up, it seems he has learnt something new. The feedback I get from the staff is very good. During this difficult time with Covid, it’s been lovely seeing the pictures of the children’s in the pick-up area.

December 12, 2022 at 12:00 amThis is my second review, as my younger son now attends Busy Bees. He absolutely loves it. Has great connections with the team, especially one member of staff in particular. Every day he says he had a fun time and brings home his creations and paintings.
I am always pleased with the level of communication received from the management team and key person. Not only do they focus on play, but their development side comes along so much. At 3 years old he can identify all letters, write his name and write out words when we call out the letters. I will always recommend this nursery and have been very happy with both of my sons’ experiences here.

February 28, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son loves the nursery, he has come on leaps and bounds being there. I know when it comes to leaving for school this September he will miss all his friends and the staff team who are fantastic. He talks about his day and the fun he has had. His happiness shows we choose the right nursery for him.

March 25, 2023 at 12:00 amLovely experience since my little one joined, it’s like having a second family for my child. Friendly staff and always very helpful to our requests. We’ve been with Busy Bees, Greenwich since my child started childcare.

March 29, 2023 at 12:00 amBoth my daughter and son are at the nursery here. They enjoy their days here. They always come home and tell me about how enjoyable their day was. The staff are so approachable, if I have had any questions or problems I can always talk to the staff.
