    Our son has been going to Busy Bees at Harham Park for over 6 months now and we cannot be more happy with the experience. All the staff are so lovely and welcoming with our son who is very happy to go to any of the staff, especially his key person.
    His development has come on leaps and bounds and he now runs to the door every morning. We also really like the report we get at the end of each day, updating us on what our son has eaten, slept and played with.
    Would highly recommend this nursery.

    Busy Bees has been a fantastic experience for my child. She has learnt so much from attending and we notice changes in her every week.
    Two staff members, in particular, are brilliant with her and we can tell how much she enjoys spending time with them by how hyper she is when she gets home.

    We fell that people at the nursery not only do their work well and very professionally, but they really care about the well-being of the children.

    My daughter loves coming to the nursery. She is happy and content and all the staff are so caring and kind.

    Generally fantastic. Very happy with everything presented and offered and the overall approach to growth and learning. Could do more with balance and circus skills!

    The overall nursery experience is great and the staff genuinely seem like they love and care for the children. This is our second child at this nursery and our eldest has very fond memories of her time here.

    My daughter has been attending this nursery for a couple of years now. She loves it there, loves the staff and other children and she has progressed so well since attending. She is independent and confident and that is down to the support and care received at Busy Bees. I am always confident that she is well cared for and the staff generally care for the children on a personal level.

    My overall experience of Busy Bees at Hartham Park has been fantastic. My daughter has been in the nursery for the past two and a half years and been a member of each room. Staff in all rooms have been superb and genuinely care about the wellbeing and development of the children.

    My son loves the time he spends at nursery. The whole team are so warm and caring. They really take the time to get to know your child and it shows in the outstanding care they provide. Each child is treated like an individual and really well supported. I was apprehensive when my son started nursery at 8 months old, but the team have helped him through all his milestones, from weaning to learning to walk. I’m so happy we’re part of the Busy Bees family.

    A lovely nursery with a nurturing and caring atmosphere. Staff are friendly and my son loves it there. Outdoor space is smaller than other nurseries but they use it well and seem to do a lot of activities to keep them busy.

    I cannot recommend it more highly. The Ofsted score for this nursery is Outstanding, but for us, that was a secondary point, with the most important being the love and care the staff have shown both our children. They have really enjoyed being there and have developed into confident girls. It really has been a home from home experience. The high levels of staff retention are really important for consistency for the children and suggest this is a fun place to be for the carers too, which I think filters down into the experience the children have who attend.

    We’re so glad we got a place for our daughter here. She’s happy, stimulated and seems quite at ease with being dropped off in the morning – a testament to the staff and environment. As parents, we also feel well informed, that the staff always have time for a chat and most importantly, that our little girl is safe and happy.

    I write this review after sending both of our daughters to Busy Bees in Hertford. Whilst our eldest daughter left a few years ago, our youngest daughter has just left (August 20) to start big school. We cannot fault the level of care received, the activities and resources are great. If you are a prospective parent reading this, then you will be making the best decision if you decide to send your son or daughter to this nursery.
    The staff genuinely love and care for each and every child, which makes it upsetting when you do finally have to leave (for big school).
    It is important to note, their approach to lockdown and when the time came to return back, was simply outstanding. The communication continued throughout even providing activity packs for the children to do. They helped my daughter to return back confidently and to help prepare her for school (especially as she had been at home with me in these quite surreal times). Well done Busy Bees!

    Our son started at Busy Bees in January aged 2. I’d been a stay-at-home mum until then so he had never really been looked after by anyone other than me and his dad so I was feeling understandably a little anxious… but he settled in so quickly and absolutely loves it! The staff have been so friendly and he is always happy when I collect him after his sessions. It also feels like the nursery has done a lot to make itself COVID-safe whilst still remaining a warm and child-centred place. I’ve been particularly impressed by the management team who seem really engaged in the life of the nursery, genuinely interested in the children, and are very approachable.

    Both of my children have attended Busy Bees; one who has just started school and the youngest who still attends. I cannot sing the praises enough of all of the wonderful staff here. From the moment my eldest started they put my mind at ease very quickly. They take care in following any likes/dislikes/allowing for the amount/length of naps, any comforters they may be used to etc. They are so caring, warm, compassionate and flexible. They have all been so personable too and we have developed a lovely relationship with the staff as parents. They take time in creating activities that stimulate their learning through play and both my children have come on leaps and bounds here. The meal choices are great and I have always been amazed at the variety of meals they have had here. My children love all of the staff here and my eldest says he misses Busy Bees a lot……I think that speaks for itself!

    Our daughter joined in 2020, during covid restrictions, but her transition was seamless and ever since, it has felt like dropping her into family each day. The staff are caring, attentive, passionate, always smiling and helpful and we know each day she attends nursery, that her day is fun, structured and fulfilling. She is so happy there. The food and menu are excellent. There is a very safe, positive, encouraging and inclusive environment. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.

    My 1 year old son has settled so well into Busy Bees Hartham Park. The staff are all attentive and friendly. They genuinely care about the well-being of all the children. I have seen such a development in my son’s gross and fine motor skills. The staff are very passionate about developing the children and wanting what is best for them. I would 100% recommend this nursery – so happy we picked Busy Bees at Hartham Park

    Our one year old daughter has been going to Busy Bees Hartham Park for a few months now and she seems so happy there. The staff are so welcoming and caring and our daughter has built such great relationships with them so fast, which says so much. The development our daughter has already had since being there is very obvious as well, it is a joy to witness. Definitely recommend!

    We were new to the Hertford area and our daughter joined in January 2023 at 3 years old. We were a bit nervous about her starting a new nursery and settling in but we needn’t have worried. Our daughter absolutely loves going to Busy Bees, she skips on the way in. The staff are so caring and genuinely care about the children. They do so many activities to keep the children interested and happy. We are so happy that we got a space at Busy Bees. Thanks to all the staff.

    Busy Bee, Hartham Park was our first choice and I know my little boy is extremely happy here. Starting in the morning, when he is greeted at the door by a smiling staff member (he’s just as excited to see them) and continuing throughout the day, he is provided with a safe space to play, learn and sleep(!) at his pace. I can tell the staff members truly care about him, I’m delighted he got a spot here.
