October 20, 2024 at 1:56 pmWe’ve been welcomed by the manager and deputy of the setting and nothing is too much. They have supported and helped the starting/settling in process brilliantly. The girls in the room have welcomed and helped settle her in fabulously. Each day to hear of all the enjoyable she has had definitely reassured a nervous mummy on her daughter starting childcare centre for the first time. Would suggest the service and high standards of the childcare centre to anyone looking to have their kid start. My little girl started Busy Bees two months ago.

October 25, 2024 at 2:24 pmThe team are so attentive and attentive to all of her needs as well as supportive and reassuring to me!
She consistently comes home and talks about all of the exciting activities she has done and is keen to show off the creative artwork she brings home.
I cannot suggest the childcare centre enough. My daughter has been at Busy Bees for nearly a year now and absolutely loves every day she spends there.

October 26, 2024 at 5:13 pmAbsolutely outstanding in all areas I would highly suggest. Management and team are so efficient, well trained and supportive. The kids are all very cheerful and well cared for. Can’t praise this childcare centre enough.

November 26, 2024 at 1:16 amThe team in his room are expert, welcoming and genuinely care about my son and his development. He has a fantastic relationship with most of the team and is making new friends all of the time. His key worker is remarkable. She regularly undertakes assessments/observations and will consistently discuss his great and not so great behaviour with my husband when our son gets collected. Overall a very positive journey. My son has been coming to this childcare centre since he was 9 months old (he is now 2.5).

December 8, 2024 at 3:53 pmThe team couldn’t do more for the kids they care for. My son has developed so much since being at Busy Bees. His key worker is so attentive and has helped my son with his social skills so much, going from a shy kid who struggled to make friends to a confident kid with lots of friends. Couldn’t be happier. An incredible childcare centre.

January 4, 2025 at 5:16 amTeam are welcoming, supportive, skilled in their roles and consistently expert. As parents, this gives us self‑assurance that we have left our kids in the best possible place and they have consistently looked forward to returning each week. The childcare centre itself is well equipped, the food menus are varied and each day attended is full of activity. We have compared other day nurseries over time and are satisfied that Busy Bees at Colchester Stanway remains the stand out choice. Thank you to all the team, especially during such a difficult twelve months with the challenges this has presented for you on top of your day to day roles. Busy Bees at Colchester Stanway has provided us with high quality childcare over several years.

January 6, 2025 at 5:52 pmHe enjoys all the activities and the team are all remarkable. I consistently sense 100% confident dropping him off as I know he will be so well looked after. They all know him well, even those who do not work in his room. You are consistently greeted with a welcoming ‘hello’ and I really like how they have started to put an activity in the foyer each week. My son loves this and it gives me ideas for home. Thank you! My son loves his days at the childcare centre.

January 11, 2025 at 2:38 pmWe were really worried about how he would settle but the team have built such a great relationship with him and he loves it there. It’s a exceptional childcare centre with a excellent setting, lots of interactive activities and very attentive team. My son started at Busy Bees at Colchester Stanway last September, following a poor journey at another childcare centre.

January 27, 2025 at 2:22 amMy nearly 8 years old started here and it’s because of the team that I decided to put my 3-year-old and 1 year old in too. I’m consistently kept updated with what my boys have done but the team consistently to that extra mile making them sense secure, cheerful and secure and therefore giving me peace of mind.
With the remarkable key worker I know I can go to her with any concerns and value the rapport we have.
It’s comforting to know my boys adore going to childcare centre especially to see their key workers. My other childs key worker is fab too. I can’t suggest this childcare centre enough, they will consistently accomodate your needs and put you at ease. Thank you all Busy Bees Stanway/ Busy Bees have consistently been a remarkable childcare centre.

February 20, 2025 at 3:46 pmMy kid was born during lockdown so has not has much social interaction with other kids. I booked a show around which we attended and any doubts I had about sending my kid to the childcare centre was instantly squashed. The childcare centre is spotless, tidy and even for a short period of time I was there you could see how much the team cared about the kids.
Since my kid started at the childcare centre he has flourished and his self‑assurance level has exceeded. He runs off in the morning happily. His key worker is incredible and constantly updates us on his development through regular observations and pictures. Each room has its own outdoor playtime space too.
Management are incredible and answer any questions I have instantly. All team are very knowledgable, attentive and you can see the adore they have for their jobs.
I have no doubt in my mind that I have done the right thing by choosing Busy Bees Stanway as a childcare centre for my little one. Busy Bees Stanway is a remarkable establishment.

I would suggest this childcare centre 100%. Outstanding childcare centre all round, the care is incredible, my kid is so settled and cheerful here.

April 6, 2025 at 1:08 amI will definitely be recommending the childcare centre to family and friends. We are so lucky we found such a lovely childcare centre for our daughter, she loves going to Busy Bees and is cheerful to be left with the fantastic team in her room that has made her sense so welcome and have really helped her in both her discovering and encouraging her to try lots of different foods (fussy eater ) which I’m so grateful for.

April 12, 2025 at 2:36 pmWe were cheerful we found a childcare centre with such a healthy and incredible looking menu this was important for us. We chose Busy Bees Stanway for our kid as we felt like it was perfect for us, we felt welcomed, cheerful and welcoming atmosphere.
They made us sense so welcome and our kid seemed very cheerful to attend, we were very pleased with the way they approached us on the first morning.
We have had nothing but incredible feedback and are very cheerful that our kid has settled in already.
All team are welcoming and approachable, which we loved.
River Walker
April 21, 2025 at 2:11 amAll team supported him into this new room and recognised when to slow down the settling in days when it became a bit much for him. The team all genuinely care for my son, encourage him to grow and give him self‑assurance. My son has recently moved into Foundation class and the transition was made so easy for him.

May 3, 2025 at 7:56 pmThey are helping me with my daughters speech. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds. She is consistently cheerful and excited to see her room educators. My daughters keyworker and room leader are incredible.

May 13, 2025 at 3:14 pmOur little boy has attended for 3 years now and he absolutely loves it. He learns so much and has enjoyable every day. All the team are exceptional and genuinely care about the kids. The childcare centre is run well and everything is consistently very well organised. I suggest the childcare centre all the time and cannot praise it highly enough. Busy Bees Stanway is a remarkable childcare centre.
Jesse Finch
May 15, 2025 at 7:58 pmHe started with delayed speech and wouldn’t say any words and within a month he is attempting all words and using his speech more. I tried him at a previous childcare centre where he refused to go in. Busy Bees changed his perception of being left and he is the happiest kid every time I pick him up. All of the team are so lovely and his key worker has been incredible since day one. Thank you so much! I am incredibly cheerful with my sons development since starting in January.

June 20, 2025 at 3:44 pmAll the team are welcoming and welcoming and reassure you from the start. My son loves coming to childcare centre every day and has developed so well since starting. Management are ever so supportive, it is consistently looking so spotless and inviting. They have a great range of meals including all dietary requirements. We couldn’t thank everyone at Stanway enough for all they have done for our little boy. Stanway Busy Bees was the best choice we made as a family, my son started five months ago and has settled in amazingly.

June 29, 2025 at 7:52 amThe team are welcoming and very attentive to each kid’s need, such as assisting with speech, language development and spotting the need to make a specialist referral if required. Each room has its own outdoor space and they encourage lots of outdoor playtime all year round. My kid adore building a snowman! This setting is extremely spotless and the food is cooked onsite, is nutritional and my fussy kid is cheerful to eat it. They encourage self-feeding and independence from a young age. He will be sad to leave he starts school later this year. Busy Bees at Colchester Stanway is a large childcare centre which offers plenty of activities for the kids and a excellent opportunity to make new friends.
