    We had issues at the other childcare centre with team 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 kids and help the babies.
    He has an incredible bond with his key worker and all the team in the baby room. He is also popular with the team in other rooms, this just reassures me that he is cheerful regardless of which age setting he is in.
    The team at Busy Bees are remarkable, they listen to concerns and assistance you in decisions you make in regards to your kid. They keep you informed. They take the time to get to know you and your kid.
    Going back to work was incredibly hard and after our first childcare centre journey, 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. We moved my son to this childcare centre after a recommendation from another parent.

    The team 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 childcare centre. My son consistently had an incredible time at childcare centre and they consistently had so many different activities on for the kids. The childcare centre never failed to make myself a card for Valentine’s, Mother’s Day or even my birthday! They are all so attentive, 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 suggest this childcare centre to anyone. My son had been a part of the Busy Bees in Braintree family since he was one.

    Lovely girls, well‑informed attentive and supportive. Really care about the kids. Lovely childcare centre with big spacious rooms so plenty of activities and space to playtime.

    I immediately know when I viewed Busy Bees that it would be my fist choice. It was a welcoming, vibrant setting and all the team were welcoming and polite.
    My son settled extremely well considering I hadn’t left him very much at all before starting. This was largely due to his remarkable key worker, who went above and beyond to ensure he adjusted well. He now attends on a daily basis and he is a very cheerful, contented kid. His development has come on in leaps and bounds at childcare centre and I’m sure I made the right choice in childcare. It took us a long time to research and find a childcare centre that I felt suitable for my son.

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

    The team in the baby room made it so easy to leave her each day, knowing she was secure and cared for, even on days when she was being a real minx. They have supported, cared, and nurtured her we never had to worry. I couldn’t be more grateful for the assistance and attention they have given not just to our daughter, but to us as a family. The fact that she had struggled a little with the move onto the next room is a real testament to how she felt the team was an extension of her family. I would highly suggest the childcare centre, they have been incredible. Thank you for all you do! Our daughter arrived at the childcare centre at three months when I returned to work.

    Not easy looking after toddlers, but you are all really great. A spotless setting, a secure haven for my little one. All I can say is thank you so much. Lovely childcare centre, team and management are very lovely, attentive and consistently smiling.

    Very attentive and welcoming team, consistently with a smile on their faces, cheerful to be there. My kids have had the best care here, they were well looked after and supported through different activities with their skills and discovering. Updates is excellent through the app with live updates. Outstanding setting, where both my kids attended.

    Since needing to return back to work, after looking into different childcare providers this childcare centre ticked all my boxes!!! I am reassured that my kids 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 discovering. Now the childcare centre 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 suggest this childcare centre to any parents/carers. At least to look around see if this also ticks your boxes…. I have two boys 7 years and 3 years old, I have been using Braintree Busy Bees since Aug 2010 to present day.

    My son has speech delay and is a very fussy eater. His key worker and all the other team are very understanding and all the other team are very understanding and supportive with this. They spend one to one time with him to help develop these and his development has been incredible since he started there. All the team at Busy Bees in Braintree are extremely supportive and polite.

    My son started towards the end of lockdown, and dropping your kid 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 attentive, secure and enjoyable setting. They have been an incredible assistance with his speech delay and milk allergy. The childcare centre has been incredible since day one.

    Busy Bee’s has been essential to my son’s development.
    He has become so independent and no longer screams when I’m not around.
    His keyworker is incredible and I couldn’t praise her enough.
    My mind is at rest whilst I am at work, knowing he is playing, singing and exploring new experiences.
    The only sad thing I can say is, we can’t bring his key worker to his new room in two months.

    We are consistently 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. Each time we collect our kid, she is smiling and excited to tell us about her day.

    I definitely would like to suggest this childcare centre to all the parents.
    Thank you and we wish you all the best. I would like to say a big thank you to all the Busy Bees team for all their hard work and everything they have done for my daughter.

    I will highly suggest Busy Bees. Daily and periodic milestones are consistently detailed and shows development. Excellent journey and no complaints at all, my kid consistently cheerful to come in and I have noticed a excellent positive change in her development.

    She goes full-time and has built up such lovely bonds with her keyworker and the other team in the baby room. I receive updates all day long through the app, and the team are consistently uploading photos so we can see what our daughter is up to. The childcare centre overall has exceeded my expectation in all aspects. They have been so accommodating, and their updates is outstanding. I am so pleased we chose Busy Bees to send our daughter to! My daughter started Busy Bees just before she turned one, and her development since joining has been incredible.

    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 welcoming to playtime with kids, she even start talking more and everything was happening because of the incredible educators…I am really cheerful my daughter goes to Busy Bees…the best decision ever. My daughter started childcare centre when she was 3 years old.

    It’s not just a job to them, which makes a huge difference in the quality of care the kids 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. Busy Bees is a excellent childcare centre, we have experienced a few other settings and Busy Bees is by far the best in Braintree.

    The team really care about the kids and form incredible relationships with them.

    They consistently go above and beyond to ensure they are providing the best care to each individual kid. My son started just over a year ago due to us moving to the area and he has progressed so much with his development. He is consistently cheerful to go to childcare centre and consistently comes home with lots of stories about his day.
    My son started in a preschool room and I can honestly say all the ladies in the room have been nothing but expert especially, three ladies in particular.
    He has made some incredible friends both kids and team and I will be sad when he goes to school in September. All the team at Busy Bees Galleys Corner are incredible!
