    Overall we are very happy with Busy Bees. The care is warm, the children are happy. The outdoor space is great. The food is good. We haven’t had any problems.

    We are really happy with the standard of care at Busy Bees, our child’s’ day is always filled with fun activities and our son’s key worker really pays attention to what he’s into and is super kind (yet firm, which he needs) which means they have a lovely bond. The nursery has a friendly atmosphere, not too chaotic, which I think really helps the kids to thrive. We get feedback forms so any areas that you think could be improved on can be addressed, and our views seem to be taken into consideration. Would definitely recommend.

    Our son has been at the Busy Bees Nursery for the last two years. The staff are incredible and very friendly, our son loves going in the morning which makes such a difference to our day. There’s a good-sized outdoor area and plenty of toys for them to play with. Very few tears from any of the kids in the morning, so the team at BB must be doing something right. I would recommend BB to any parent.

    Like most new parents, we were really apprehensive about someone else looking after our baby, who was starting nursery at ten months. Busy Bees is local to us and were really helpful when we looked around – we went twice and then did a stay and play session to get more of an understanding about how the team worked and how our baby would be looked after.
    During the settling in phase, things were clearly laid out and everything has been really well explained. Our key worker is a really special person who has looked after our baby and the rest of the team in each room are always friendly and helpful.
    I recommend Busy Bees at Leytonstone all the time and I love seeing my child develop positively with the social and learning interaction she gets there.

    My son loves nursery. The carers are really attentive and seem to really care for the children. He does a lot of different activities daily and just really enjoys each day.

    We have had a very positive experience with Busy Bees in Leytonstone. It is an important decision where your little ones are cared for and we feel that we have had very good value from the nursery in terms of safety, quality, and our experience as parents directly from the nursery and indirectly from our daughter who has thrived whilst she has been there even throughout the coronavirus period.

    We’ve had 2 children at Busy Bees Leytonstone and similar experiences with both.
    Wonderful staff and a caring environment.
    Especially recommend baby and toddler rooms although pre-school has been fantastic too. Meal menu is impressive.

    My son has been very happy here for the last three years. The staff are very friendly, and all know him by name. The freedom of movement with the outside space is great for their development, and overall I feel he has massively benefited from being at this setting.
    I also feel they have adapted very well to changing circumstances. I would happily recommend to other parents.

    I have reviewed Busy Bees for the February period as, since lockdown, it’s tricky to provide answers accurately as we can no longer visit our children inside to see what they have been doing, what specific facilities are available, cleanliness etc. Our daughter moved up to preschool in lockdown and we have yet to see her room and outside space. But, the staff are cheerful, friendly and very helpful, particularly when we have required the flexibility of extra days at short notice. Our daughter is very happy here and assuming nothing has changed we remain happy too that Busy Bees is providing consistently good care and hopefully her preschool experience will be as positive as every other stage she has attended at Busy Bees.

    Fantastic nursery, all the staff are very friendly and know my child by name even those not working with my child. Very proactive in teaching new skills and adaptive to child’s likes such as creating games around particular favourite topics to take home and play in evenings/weekends. My child loves going and leaves with a big smile every evening and you can’t ask for more than that. Lots of focus on phonics and development but plenty of play and fun along the way.

    Busy Bees at Whipps Cross is a wonderful nursery. Our daughter absolutely loves attending, and we feel her development has been improved no end by the wonderful and safe environment and incredible staff. We feel very lucky and fortunate that we found the nursery and would recommend it without hesitation. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. Furthermore, the staff and centre have handled the COVID situation extremely well – we have always felt well-informed and safe. Thank you Busy Bees!

    My daughter has been at the nursery since the start of the year and she has settled there very well. The staff are fantastic and very caring and she loves being able to spend so much time outdoors – this is a real bonus compared to other nurseries in the area. The longer opening hours are great for work flexibility. We have been impressed with Busy Bees’ approach to COVID-19 and their response has felt very safe and contained.

    A fantastic nursery! Staff are professional, kind and have done really well in the covid crisis. My child enjoys his days at Busy Bees very much and is growing in confidence all the time. The team communicates well and takes time to understand our child and any concerns we might have. 5 stars all round!

    My daughter has been attending this nursery for almost since the first quarter of last year and has moved up two classes so far. I can say, everyone that has looked after her, has been remarkable in all rooms. I have no complaints. They engage in a lot of activities that keeps the kid’s minds stimulated and also provide a nutritious menu that allows for a balanced diet when they are not at home which is a plus. I can tell she enjoys going there as she’s excited most of the time. During the covid period, they were extremely supportive as well. Staff are friendly and you can tell they enjoy their jobs. I would recommend this place to everyone.

    I can’t rate the Busy Bees staff enough for the care and attention they have given to my 2 sons. They have both thrived in the environment there and above all have felt safe, valued and happy. I have been able to return to work both times without the concern of their happiness and welfare as I’ve felt supported by the staff and have been able to see how much enjoyment my children have got from attending Busy Bees.

    Key points: Caring friendly staff, well set out rooms and an amazing outdoor space that the children spend a good amount of time in.
    My son has been and continues to be very happy at Busy Bees Leytonstone. My youngest is due to start this month.

    Overall, great nursery. Great environment and space for children to play, staff are amazing very informative and always very helpful. My sons have been with busy bees for around a year and a half now and all staff in the playrooms and office staff, all give both children and staff a warm welcome. The key worker in the toddlers’ room was so helpful, honest and down to earth. My son adored her. I felt a sense of relief when she was there in the morning when dropping him off. Now with the Covid issues, staff are still friendly and welcoming however now you drop the child at the front door instead of into the room. Staff always ensures children are greeted with a warm welcome-whilst checking their temperature and wearing a mask. Again, my son will go into nursery easier when she is on the door. I recommend Busy Bees in Leytonstone to anyone that’s looking for a nursery in the area, they may be pricy but totally worth it.

    The staff are amazing. We always knew what had gone on during the day. My granddaughter loved it there, the food was amazing, a wide and varied diet and all concerns from parents were listened to and acted on. On the whole, the last year has been a very pleasant experience and would highly recommend Whipps Cross, Busy Bees.
