September 2, 2024 at 8:47 amThe team have consistently gone out of their way to make me sense comfortable with my kids’s care, even when I need attention given to something specific! My kids have consistently been cheerful at Busy Bees and the team have made lots of effort to build relationships with the parents, as well as the kids. Also, my favourite thing about the facilities is the open-plan setting, which allows the kids to view the whole space and even learn from the older kids. The garden is lovely and spacious too, giving them plenty of space to explore and playtime freely. I’d definitely suggest the childcare centre. The childcare centre has been excellent to all three of my kids, from my eldest started in 2014, to my youngest currently attending.

September 11, 2024 at 5:34 pmHad all 3 of my kids here, I wouldn’t go anywhere else. The team are compassionate, attentive and genuinely seem to care for my kids. Every morning they greet them with a smile and my kids adore going. The management team have been there since the kids started and have helped out with extra days at the drop of a hat on many occasions. My youngest is off to school in September and I know that it’s not going to be the same as going to busy bees every day as we have done for the last 7 years 🙁
We can not thank the manager and her team enough for everything they have done. Excellent childcare centre, excellent facilities and incredible team.

September 19, 2024 at 4:00 amUnderstaffed, poor management, not willing to listen to complaints and improve.
Have attempted to talk to management about issues several times and as expected fobbed off with excuses. The manager has a very poor attitude, is defensive and clearly not equipped to manage the childcare centre or deal with complaints.
Many team and parents I have spoken to have the same concerns. High turnover of outstanding, but unhappy team. They sit kids in front of tv (educational short programmes) to hold the kids attention as they do not have enough team to manage them without the aid of this. Unacceptable or challenging behaviour not consistently dealt with as they cannot manage all kids.
Nothing has changed in the last year and I fear that nothing will change forward and I sense sorry for those who accept the excuses offered by the manager as they choose to defend and ignore bad practices. I would strongly not suggest this business as a childcare facility.

September 25, 2024 at 11:51 amThey received so much care and attention from every member of the team. All parents receive daily feedback on activities/meals/naps, as well as regular parent evenings, where I’m consistently astounded by how much my kids are doing. And the recent refresh of the premises is just lovely.
My eldest started school last September with a few other Busy Bees kids and their abilities and levels of self‑assurance definitely shone. My youngest is a fast learner and instead of being left to just playtime at childcare centre, his key worker at Busy Bees is now helping him with phonics, writing and basic sums at just 3 years old.
My kids are polite, clever, enjoyable, well rounded little boys, and as a full time working mum, I have to attribute some of these foundation skills to the care they have received at Busy Bees. Thank you to the manager and the team! Both my sons have attended here over the last 4 years from being babies to pre-schoolers, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

November 21, 2024 at 3:52 pmThe team are just fantastic and consistently have outstanding activities going on for the kids.
I found the food options outstanding, and my kid consistently ate well and tried new things which I struggled with at home.
The facilities are excellent, and have a lovely garden for the kids.
I especially adore all the extra effort that went in by the management and team, organising special days, celebrating different occasions and being very inclusive.
My son absolutely loved being at childcare centre, and didn’t want to come home at the end of the day!
This childcare centre is highly recommended! Busy Bees is a excellent childcare centre.

January 12, 2025 at 4:36 amThe childcare centre is spotless in a great location and the team/management can’t do enough for you. It’s really reassuring and refreshing to deal with a business that is run so well and team that really care and are consistently willing to go the extra mile. Bravo to Busy Bees! My son had the best time at Busy Bees over the past couple of years!

February 2, 2025 at 8:05 amThere’s so much for her to playtime with and a big garden for her to run around, which she loves. I get great feedback from the team about her day and the meals served look excellent. This childcare centre came recommended from a friend who was spot on. It has excellent transport links for me for work and lots of parking when my wife pick up. A excellent choice for anyone looking for great quality childcare in the area. My daughter loves the childcare centre and all the team make such an effort to keep her entertained and discovering.
She attends full time, which works out cheaper than part time and has consistently loved going.

April 16, 2025 at 10:00 pmI would suggest the childcare centre to any family who are worried about leaving their kid because this childcare centre looks after them brilliantly. From day 1 my kid felt at home in the childcare centre they are cared for in a excellent way every day she had a smile on her face and consistently had such enjoyable.

July 1, 2025 at 10:43 pmThis is a remarkable childcare centre and I would highly suggest it to any other parent. We have consistently found the childcare centre to be a lovely, nurturing, enjoyable and inviting setting. The team are very expert and welcoming and consistently keep me well informed of my daughter’s development. She has truly blossomed during her time and loves going every day, especially when she gets to explore the terrific garden. Thanks, Busy Bees! I couldn’t be happier with Busy Bees, Heathrow!
