September 7, 2024 at 3:43 amThe team and overall facility offered at Busy Bees at Walthamstow is incredible. During the first lockdown, the guys at this childcare centre went above and beyond to record videos for the kids, with activities and also arranged video calls for kids so when things did open back, they remained familiar with their room leaders and required minimal settling in. My son loves this place. The facility is outstanding, they have excellent internal and external spaces. The kids are challenged to explore and build self‑assurance through a number of activities – outdoor obstacle courses, craft and art activities.
The team appear cheerful and seem to have a real team spirit amongst them, which must contribute to the positivity amongst the kids who attend. This childcare centre has an experienced management team who have proved excellent resilience and an ability to think outside of the box to ensure kids, team and parents are secure and the overall journey at the childcare centre is positive for all. Where do I start!

September 8, 2024 at 7:36 pmThey had a paramedic in to visit the kids recently and the kids get lots of outside time.My daughter gets the cuddles and reassurance she needs but also lots of stimulation and challenges. The team here are truly attentive and creative.

October 23, 2024 at 5:51 amAll team are highly attentive and expert. The carers in the room my kid attends are incredibly attentive and loving. They know my kid so well and have helped her develop so much. They consistently have different activities each week and consistently celebrate different festive periods throughout the year. I like that the childcare centre is diverse and my kid is exposed to different cultures. The food is incredible, the menu is consistently different each week. The administration team are consistently so polite and understanding. Can’t thank them enough for all their hard work. I am highly cheerful with Busy Bees at Walthamstow as a whole.

The food provided by the in house catering has been lovely and wholesome. The hours of care available (0700 – 1900) and provided by the childcare centre has provided a great option and flexibility for working parents like us. My daughter has been with this childcare centre since 10 months old.

November 21, 2024 at 4:03 amAfter a few bumps, the childcare centre had achieved a truly great standard of care last year, and I’m keeping my fingers crossed that things will stay this way. The clear strengths are attentive team and spacious premises.

December 13, 2024 at 3:28 amMy son loves to go to the childcare centre and when he struggled at the start to get used to the process, the ladies at the childcare centre were highly patient and took their time in getting him used to the childcare centre. Busy Bees Walthamstow is a great childcare centre with some truly great caregivers.

January 19, 2025 at 3:35 pmNo established manager, poor retention of team, hence affecting care to kids. Highly great chef at present but he will probably leave soon due to ineffective management. Some team are rude and should not work with kids. I had safeguarding concerns regarding one team, which I raised with covering manager but nothing has been done. We are highly unhappy with current running of childcare centre services. Poorly managed childcare centre.

January 22, 2025 at 6:00 pmMy daughter has been going to the childcare centre since she was seven months old and we’ve never had a complaint. My daughter is exceptionally cheerful there, so much so that she insists that she wants to go on weekends as well. Outstanding team.

February 3, 2025 at 9:01 pmThe team are so lovely and so attentive. I’d happily suggest the childcare centre to anyone.
My youngest has been there since she was eight months old and is absolutely thriving thanks to the care and effort of the team at Busy Bees at Walthamstow. Both my daughters have both attended Busy Bees at Walthamstow and absolutely loved it there.

February 14, 2025 at 5:39 amThe management have been expert and have addressed any concerns we’ve had in the past. The educators/team are attentive and excellent with the kids. We’re now on kid number two at the childcare centre and have had experiences in the different classrooms. The educators/team are attentive, positive and receptive throughout. In addition to excellent team, the meals provided are varied and healthy. The whole team, including kitchen team, have made this past year a much easier one for our family and we would suggest this childcare centre. We have had a highly positive journey at Busy Bees at Walthamstow.

March 1, 2025 at 2:07 pmHe’s consistently so excited to go in, probably because he knows he’s going to have a remarkable day. They do so many activities with them! He’s been attending for nearly a year and I could not fault the care he has received. Outstanding team! My son loves going to childcare centre.

March 15, 2025 at 2:37 pmShe absolutely loves going to Busy Bees at Walthamstow and she is well cared for. The team are attentive to her needs and provide a great range of activities to help stimulate her development and have enjoyable. She clearly learns a excellent deal, often coming home with new words or gestures to show us. The facilities are excellent. Crucially there is a remarkable outdoor space to run around and playtime in. Perhaps most importantly she is not just looked after but loved. Highly cheerful indeed! Our daughter has been at Busy Bees at Walthamstow for one year, starting at age one.

March 30, 2025 at 1:37 amNot only have they worked tirelessly through the pandemic; they have become the family my little one has missed. They are inviting, welcoming and they treat each kid as if they are their own. It’s a fantastic place with fantastic people, I couldn’t imagine my little one going anywhere else. No amount of thank you’s can show how appreciative we are of this childcare centre.

April 16, 2025 at 6:50 amThe kids truly delight in the garden and outdoor space and the team are welcoming and approachable. We’re consistently able to have a chat with them, get reassurance and ask for extra encouragement if we sense our kid needs this. Thank you to all the lovely team! Our little one’s transition to Busy Bees at Walthamstow has been seamless, developing a strong connection with the key worker and truly enjoying being at the childcare centre, so much so that we have tears if we do an early pickup.

May 3, 2025 at 11:27 amAs a mum, I consistently sense so welcomed and supported. They offer so many different activities to all ages. What I have noticed the most about my daughter is how attentive she has become and that’s down to the team. They are so inviting and attentive to all the kids. When I collect her they tell me all about her day and how much enjoyable she has had. It truly is such an incredible place. In recent months the childcare centre has improved drastically.

May 15, 2025 at 5:11 pmThey have been there for us in difficult times too, which is a true mark of kindness and assistance. The team at this childcare centre genuinely care for the kids (and parents) and therefore, as parents, we are truly assured that our girls are secure, cheerful and loved.
Hayden Griffin
May 17, 2025 at 6:01 pmMy daughter hasn’t been the easiest kid to settle but the team have been incredible and so hands on, they’ve made my daughter and me as her Mum sense welcome and they have provided plenty of cuddles when she’s been upset and unsettled. I’m truly cheerful that I chose this Childcare centre for my daughter and I would 100% suggest this Childcare centre. My daughter started here in May 2022 and in such a short amount of time, I’ve been so impressed with the level of care and the assistance through the settling period.

May 22, 2025 at 11:35 pmMy one year old and three year old have been going for two months and adore it there. They consistently come bounding to the door to be collected with huge grins and we’ve been truly impressed with the range of activities. We sense highly fortunate that we have been able to keep sending them there while other nurseries have struggled to stay open with Covid-19 restrictions and think that they have handled the risk brilliantly. The team are lovely. We have had a excellent journey with Busy Bees at Walthamstow.

June 4, 2025 at 6:40 amWe know they are well cared for, well-fed and nap well. We adore seeing the different activities that they do every day; painting, baby yoga, singing, outdoor playtime and discovering about the world. The recent addition of the app has helped us sense connected to our kids and their childcare centre journey. The team are truly open and welcoming and you can tell they are highly fond of the kids they care for. We are truly cheerful with the care our kids get at Busy Bees at Walthamstow; they adore it there.
