Busy Bees Croydon

Very happy that our son has been going to this nursery for the past 3 years. Staff are very supportive and friendly. Our son has built up some good friendships with other kids and staff, he has been enjoying a variety of activities. He’s thriving there and has developed so much in their care.

My daughter has been at this nursery since she was 10 months old and now leaving to go to school in September.
They have been great for her confidence and education. All the staff here are exceptional, they engage really well with all the children. She loves how safe she feels and that she can talk to the staff if she has any issues. The activities are varied and keep her attention.
She is going to miss the staff and environment greatly. I’m sure we’ll be back for a visit in the future.

I chose this nursery out of another 10 I saw around my house. This nursery is actually far from my house but is the best of all and as I care a lot about my kids day to day lifestyle I will highly recommend this nursery. They are fully involved with the kids’ age group activities and going the extra mile in order to achieve kids’ development no matter if a child has a disability or a typical child. You don’t see them just standing, that’s why their name is very good comparing to what they do – Busy Bees.

Our daughter has been with Busy Bees from 11-months to the grand old age of 4 (she starts school in a few weeks). We are so happy that we chose this nursery for her. She’s been through all the different age/stage rooms and has had a few different key workers during that time, and everyone has been kind and professional. She skips through the front doors every day happy to see what’s going to happen next, and routinely comes home with stories and artwork. They have supported her development beautifully, from her first steps, through potty training to starting to learn to trace and write letters and understand letter sounds in preparation for school. Busy Bees have adjusted so well to the challenges of the pandemic and at no point has our daughter been uncomfortable since she returned post-lockdown. The staff have done everything they can to keep things normal and fun for the children and have worked incredibly hard, with many colleagues furloughed and lots of regulations to follow.

I have two boys who started the nursery after lockdown one. I was familiar with the nursery, my daughter attended there 6 years ago. It was therefore nice that the nursery atmosphere and familiarity had not changed. My boys took a couple of weeks but they settled in perfectly. Since being at the nursery, they developed immensely and the boys love going to nursery, which is a personal comfort. I highly recommend this nursery.

So happy that I moved my daughter to Busy Bees Croydon. I can see the instant improvement in her development – best decision I’ve made for her progress. She is so excited to go to nursery every day and with such lovely staff who clearly and genuinely care about the children, it’s easy to see why.

My experience of Busy Bees in Croydon is very positive. Those experienced parents will know that all children are different and its the experience of the child that matters. My child has been very happy at this nursery but when for some reason she wasn’t happy the manager made some adjustments for my child which resulted in her being back to loving nursery. She seems to be more outgoing at home but I suspect the thrill and excitement of watching and listening to other young children is her thing as she enjoys the activities and fun too.
Great communication and updates and covid precautions and monitoring. My child is in safe hands !!

The nursery is good and the staff are very friendly and caring. Communication is good and children are fed properly on time. They build a routine for children which is helpful for parents. Good parking facility, nice and neat premises. During this Covid-19 period, the staff always wear face masks and adhere to social distancing but it is disappointing that many parents don’t wear masks when they collect their children and I struggle to believe that they are all exempt. Nursery management can be more assertive on such parents. Staff are always very caring towards children, except on a couple of occasions when parents waiting outside, including myself could hear a childminder screaming at children, which wasn’t nice at all. There is a difference between being assertive and screaming at children. This needs to be addressed by the nursery management.

We have been sending our little one here for almost two years now. Lovely manager, we’re always well informed about what’s going on, room activities, special days, the menu for the week etc.
The ladies who work here are wonderful, and I enjoy our chats when I come to pick up my daughter. They are always attentive and patient, even when things are busy. My kid is not the most affectionate, but I have no doubt she adores the staff. She is happy when we come here each morning – that’s a weight off my mind as a parent.
The nursery is always clean and welcoming, and there’s plenty of parking. Our daughter loves running around outside in the garden and participating in all the different activities and theme weeks. We know what they’re learning because she comes home with a new interest in pirates or trains, or she can’t wait to show us the new songs she learned. So glad we found this place.

We love our daughter’s nursery! Busy Bees, Croydon team is amazing, very friendly and professional! Our daughter is enjoying it so much there and she is so loved! I wouldn’t choose any other nursery for our little one. We made the best decision!
