    It’s clear she loves it and learns something new daily. Honestly adore the team, consistently smiling and welcoming and genuinely, my little girl is starting to grow such a strong bond already. The team’s updates with me after her day at childcare centre and throughout, enlighten me on how she is feeling and what she got up to. I know she honestly is the happiest little girl, when I come and pick her up and she tells me about her friends and her day! The pictures that are uploaded on the app, are such a lovely way to ease my anxious feelings about if she’s okay, which she consistently is. Nothing I can fault, exceptional Busy Bees! Thank you for consistently having a lovely setting for my kid to grow in and learn every day! My little girl just started at childcare centre and she is growing more and more every day.

    Our daughter absolutely loves going to the childcare centre with her heading (sometimes running) into her class each morning without a care or worry in the world, what more can you ask for. The team at the childcare centre are just exceptional, nothing is ever too much trouble, they all work so hard and you really do sense part of a childcare centre community, I really could not praise them high enough. The app used to keep you up to date each day on their activities, discovering stories, photos etc is consistently updated which gives you the reassurance throughout the day that your little one is all ok. As a full-time working mum knowing our daughter is so well cared for and has such a remarkable time each day really does take that pressure off. We will all be sad to say goodbye to the childcare centre when the time comes, I honestly could not suggest the childcare centre highly enough. Our daughter has been at the childcare centre since she was 10 months old and is now leaving to head to Primary school at 4 years old.

    My daughter loves it there so much, consistently randomly saying “I adore childcare centre” at weekends. I’m one of those annoyingly, anxious mothers and I’ve consistently felt so at ease at drop off as I know she is in great hands. The management are consistently highly expert as well as personable and the team are all so lovely. I cannot suggest Busy Bees in Harlow enough.

    My kid is very cheerful there.
    Thank you to you all for providing the best start in life for our kids. This childcare centre is a excellent place for your kid to grow up in, everything is perfect, team very nice and attentive.

    I have been able to go to work and switch my mind off mummy mode because I just don’t worry about my little one being there. It’s their favourite place to go. The childcare centre takes so much care in the details of everything and the setting is enjoyable, creative, gentle and nurturing. The lunch menus are insanely great and my little one is yet to turn down a dish since starting. The daily feedback reports are informative. It is managed brilliantly. All the rooms are spotless, the outside spaces are bright and colourful. The childcare centre have made me sense like I’ve done something right by my little one. They come out smiling every day and is clapping in the car on arrival each morning. They have become her own little family. Over the moon with my little one attending Busy Bees Harlow childcare centre.

    Every element of my kid’s discovering is taken into account and the resources provided assistance and enable her discovering and development. There are lots of natural and ‘real life’ equipment that promotes creativity and imagination and less of the brightly coloured plastic toys. Care is incredible and I have consistently felt that the team genuinely adore my kids and enjoys spending time with them. Activities are open ended and linked to experiences at home. Team are well‑informed, expert, polite, hard working and experienced. The food is healthy, fresh, varied and plentiful with a welcoming chef cooking on site. The managers have years of journey and are truly dedicated to making the childcare centre the best place for my kid. The childcare centre is spotless with additional procedures in place since Covid. My kid is secure and I wouldn’t send her anywhere else! Lovely purpose built childcare centre in a central location of Harlow, close to the train station, town, industrial estates etc.

    Our daughter absolutely loved it from day one and I don’t believe we were lucky, I think it was down to the childcare centre team. We have since placed our second kid here and she too has absolutely loved it. I can genuinely say that there is nothing that I think they can improve on. Just continue to maintain the high standard of service throughout the childcare centre. Being able to go to work and not having to worry means so much and knowing how cheerful they are to be there, is priceless! We are so thankful and couldn’t suggest them enough. We looked at a handful of nurseries with our first kid and this childcare centre stood out for so many reasons.

    Sending such a young kid to childcare centre naturally increased my anxiety. in fact, I began feeling nervous from the moment I conducted my extensive research on childcare options and nurseries. I decided to choose Busy Bees, Harlow from personal recommendations and outstanding reviews online. What really contributed to my final decision, however, was visiting the childcare centre myself and experiencing the atmosphere and welcoming team. The entire team at Busy Bees engage wonderfully with both kids and parents in a very individualised way. One team member, in particular, displays the highest professionalism every day when greeting us, that I almost never experienced separation anxiety. The consistent smiles and interaction from team feels like home. The management are really committed to providing a secure, enjoyable, and loving setting and I’m very thankful to the entire team at Busy Bees. I have wanted to write a review almost immediately from when my kid started childcare centre in July 2022.

    She absolutely loves going to childcare centre. She runs into the room, she doesn’t even give me a chance to take her coat off! The team were so welcoming and have consistently been so compassionate and attentive to both me and my daughter. My daughter has dietary requirements and allergies and they have been really great with all our requests and needs. During covid, the team were really great with keeping us up to date via the app and the precautions put in place worked really well. We notice my daughter developing more and more every time she comes home from childcare centre. Highly suggest this childcare centre! My daughter joined Busy Bees back in October 2021.

    The team come up with enjoyable and creative activities every day, often based on things we’ve been doing as a family. We get regular catch-ups with key workers and team, both in person and through the app. My kid loves going to Busy Bees.

    She absolutely loves it there and so do we. They consistently have something going on and come up with excellent activities for the kids. The team are remarkable, they really care for all the kids and are a excellent extension of our family. A few friends recommended Busy Bees spanning the last 8/9 years and it has been consistently great. We would highly suggest Busy Bees, Harlow and have done to other parents. We will be very sad when our kid leaves for school next year. My kid has been attending the childcare centre for the last three years.

    After my first kid who attended back in 2009, we knew we didn’t need to look elsewhere for our son’s childcare. This childcare centre is incredible! The team are all courteous, attentive and to our son they are like a 2nd family. They have remarkable team retention (which these days is rare!) You can see they all have a passion for working with kids and consistently go beyond to provide a secure, spotless, homely and welcoming place for the kids to playtime and grow. Their updates is second to none, consistently keeping us informed of our childs day to day activities, accomplishments and meals. Our son settled here alot quicker than we thought and had gone from clingy to walking into the room independently! We cannot suggest them highly enough and have no doubt that any parent leaving their kid here would have just made the best decision. My second kid currently attends this childcare centre.

    Both my kids have been extremely cheerful in their time here. They are very content going to the childcare centre and are consistently smiling at the end of the day. The team are incredible and keep us updated on development and discovering. I would highly suggest Busy Bees Harlow to my friends. I am very sad that my time attending the childcare centre with my kids is coming to an end. Keep up the remarkable work. I have been using Busy Bees for six years now, and I have only positive things to say.

    He has attended since he was 13 months old and now at 2.5yrs he still absolutely loves it there. The incredible assistance the team there give the parents also is top service. Through times of putting my son in as a baby, worries through covid times and anxiety around how he grows up every step you are reassured and looked after as much as your kid. Thank you all and keep up the excellent work. I cannot suggest or thank Busy Bees Harlow enough for looking after my son.

    My little boy started when he turned one just as we went into lockdown and we were anxious about him starting in the middle of the pandemic but it has been an incredible journey. He settled quickly and the team were incredible at communicating his day with us. He now loves childcare centre and his key worker. She is a lovely person and I can tell that she genuinely cares for the kids and enjoys her job. He eats all his food which sounds delicious. Thank you Busy Bees in Harlow. Busy Bees in Harlow is a fantastic place.

    My daughter is cheerful and excited to go in every day and for me, it is so reassuring to know she is well looked after. We have noticed her speech come on leaps and bounds after days at childcare centre and the team have really supported us with her recent potty training. Excellent journey with Busy Bees Harlow.

    The ladies there are fabulous and I sense they have a excellent relationship with my daughter. There are monthly special activities, dress up or themed days that make her development even better. I have seen such a change in her since starting childcare centre and I’m so cheerful with her development and the adore and assistance the team show her and us. My daughter absolutely loves going into Busy Bees, Harlow.

    The team were very attentive and made his start in childcare centre life a excellent journey. The childcare centre has very great Covid19 procedures in place and as a parent, I sense that my kid is secure. I can see my baby developing every day. The team are consistently available to help and provide excellent info. My baby joined the childcare centre in summer 2021.

    They have consistently loved going in every day as they have so much enjoyable and think the ladies are all fantastic. I have consistently felt they were in secure hands and their development is well looked after. My eldest has just graduated and we were very sad to leave childcare centre, but her transition to school was seamless as Busy Bees had given her a fantastic start. We are cheerful that our second kid is still at childcare centre so we get to stay in contact. I would suggest this childcare centre to everyone, it’s really fantastic. My daughters have both been at Busy Bees since they were one year old.

    The childcare centre has really great Covid-19 procedures and this makes us sense secure to drop our kid into the childcare centre each day. They organise enjoyable events regularly and the activities in the room are creative and engaging. The childcare centre has lovely facilities and excellent outside space. Food is such a high standard and they care about the nutritional value as well, our kid eats better than we do! I already have my second kid’s place saved, that’s how much we adore this childcare centre. A lovely childcare centre with attentive team.
