December 31, 2018 at 12:00 amWe are very happy with the care, compassion and attention shown to our 19-month-old daughter. She is always happy to attend Busy Bees each and every morning and has grown very fond of all the staff. This gives us every confidence that she will be well looked after throughout the day which is further supported by the great updates we receive through the parent zone app, giving regular meal and activity updates. We couldn’t be happier with Busy Bees at Haling Park over the last 9 months. Thank you.

May 9, 2019 at 12:00 amDeciding to send my son to nursery younger than I did with the rest of my children and where I wasn’t based, was really hard me; being practitioner myself.
My son started Busy Bees soon after it had opened in 2016 and is now in pre-school. He has come along leaps and bounds, thanks to the warm welcome received every day he goes in, and hard work of the team. With the open partnership, he is developing very well and is happy to attend; he speaks fondly of all his experiences there.
The nursery took on a whole new level of service when the new manager was appointed (happy days!). I’ve also recommended a number of people in the past few months whose children now attend.
I wasn’t surprised when the nursery was awarded an OUTSTANDING! Well done all!

May 27, 2019 at 12:00 amMy 18-month-old daughter was at this nursery for 3 months, initially for a month she had a lot of difficulties coping and I felt so bad leaving her at the nursery that I almost wanted to quit my job. The staff assured me that she will settle down and that kept me going. After a month of being there, she was so happy, used to come back singing, loved her friends and the staff. The staff are very helpful and loved the food there, I didn’t have to worry and I didn’t even call to check how she was on a daily basis. Her learning was really good too although I wish we knew more of their daily activities. Overall, a very good experience for my toddler.

April 12, 2021 at 12:00 amMy little girl has been attending this nursery since she was nine months old in the baby room and she is now in preschool and absolutely loves it! One of the reasons we chose this nursery was that after seeing eight others, when we walked in, this nursery was clean and that’s not because the children don’t do enough messy play, they just have a very high standard. The staff are incredible, they have been going through quite a few management changes however, everyone always steps up. Especially in Covid-19 circumstances, they have been absolutely brilliant and have made everyone feel safe. They stick to their bubbles and even the slight “outbreak” a couple of months ago didn’t go very far because they are so careful and attentive. The menu is always balanced and the onsite chef is a really lovely lady! Little one has been learning so much thanks to them. This nursery is a home from home for my little one! I would highly recommend them!

September 1, 2021 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been attending the nursery for 3 years. She absolutely loves it! The staff are kind and caring. The staff have been brilliant throughout the pandemic and have dealt with a number of changes of management whilst ensuring the care of the children haven’t been affected. Lovely nursery and I would definitely recommend it.

March 10, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter was with Busy Bee Croydon, Haling Park since she was 11 months old until 26 months old age. We had to leave Haling Park this year because we moved house. I couldn’t be more grateful for the wonderful staff at Haling Park. They were wonderful. They kept track of her miles stones and updated us as parents. I felt at ease at Busy Bees because they have an app that gives you updates on what is happening to your little one.

March 10, 2023 at 12:00 amStaff retention is understandably a challenge across the industry however constant changes in the key worker team seem to have a significant impact on child’s engagement and development cycle as a whole. Consistency in the team will go a long way in improving the standards as children will engage better, their development can be better planned and tracked etc.
– Learning-related activities especially in preschool are worth reviewing. I trust that there are great ideas and efforts being input at that end. If more activities in line with the national curriculum can be introduced to prepare the children for schooling would be a great step.
The team is fabulous and always on the outlook of innovative ideas and improving standards which is remarkable. Thanks Haling Park team!

April 26, 2023 at 12:00 amThe team at Haling Park is amazing and caring. We all engage with the nursery activities and we feel welcome since day one. Our son is always mentioning Busy Bees and can’t wait for his next session. The environment encourages him to develop different skills and the room managers have a clear plan of what our child needs to achieve in the short and long term, which is something that was shared and discussed with us. Thanks, Busy Bees and all the team!

May 24, 2023 at 12:00 amAbsolutely amazing nursery, my daughter has progressed so much since being at the nursery. I cannot express how appreciative I am of how thorough they are with everything they do for the children.
My daughter’s vocabulary is super advanced and she comes home super happy every day, which is amazing.

May 24, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son has been attending Busy Bees, Haling Park for the last 18 months and has grown both in confidence and abilities. He loves his key workers and staff and enjoys the mix of different things they do daily. He now is very vocal about his day and speaks fondly of his friends. We really love this nursery and hope to bring future children one day.

May 30, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter started attending the nursery last month but it is amazing how she has settled down and loves her school. This I will connect to how amazing the staff and students have welcomed her and made her to like school.
For my daughter, her school is beautiful, her teachers are the best, she loves all her friends in her school. She loves her colouring, creative works, her phonics, going to the garden and playground.
My daughter is not a good eater at home but it is amazing how she loves her school food.
The school environment is very clean and there is this satisfaction that every day I drop her in school, I know she is safe and in good hands with the school management.
Thank you Busy Bees and I recommend the school to everyone.

July 24, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter, she’s in this nursery, at first my daughter cried a lot, I didn’t give up, the staff helped a lot until she settled down. Now she is finishing this year… I am happy, she has learned to speak English quite a lot, the activities she does are cool and she is always happy and asks for the nursery on weekends.
The staff are very patient and very helpful!
Thank you, team Busy Bees!

August 9, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter is coming up to the end of her time at Busy Bee’s, and we have had the best experience at the nursery. Every member of staff that has looked after my daughter has been fantastic. The management is organised and friendly and also responds quickly to any queries. A huge thank you to all the staff at Busy Bee’s; I always know my daughter is in good hands when she’s in your care!
