Great nursery
My little one is well taken care of, all the nursery workers and staff have managed to create a warm and welcoming environment for my baby. The app is great for every day communication and updates on LO's progress. The rooms are clean and the garden is perfect during the warmer months. We're very happy with our choice of nursery.

The staff are so kind and professional
The staff are so kind and professional. They are brilliant with the children and they know everything there is to know about each and every child. This is my 2nd child that’s gone to Busy Bees Ilford and I could not recommend it more. I feel safe knowing my children are looked after there by the wonderful staff.

I’m so happy I have put my twins here!
I’m so happy I have put my twins within this nursery. Everyone is so welcoming and happy, staff are helpful. The environment for my twins is enabling, their learning has developed dramatically that they are flourishing and meeting all milestones. It’s clean, safe and staff have great communication with parents. Most of all the management team is incredible, busy bees wouldn’t be what it is without them.

You wouldn’t find a better nursery…
My child loves ALL the staff members and absolutely loves being there. The staff have gone above and beyond to make her feel comfortable and welcome. I cannot thank them enough.
They’ve worked alongside myself and my toddler to ensure she was at her best, working collectively to ensure she was thriving in her communication and motor skills.
They bend backwards to make sure your child is happy and THAT is what makes busy bees stand out! They’re not just a nursery they’re a family, especially to those little kids whom they look after during the day.
I was very wary about sending my baby to nursery and best believe I had 1000 questions but rest assured they made sure my mind was put to ease and they have 100% won me over! They are caring, loving and ever so helpful! From management to key workers!
I would 100% recommend!

We had a fantastic experience with this nursery. My son has improved a lot in terms of speech and behaviour, and I can only say thanks for their efforts. The facilities are excellent. If we didn’t have to move, he would have stayed until the beginning of primary school. I would highly recommend this nursery; it is one of the best in the area!
