Why choose Busy Bees at Chafford Hundred: -

Busy Bees at Chafford Hundred is a purpose built nursery. We were built in 2000 and are situated next door to a children’s centre and a parade of shops.

We are set on 2 levels, our younger children are down stairs in our Baby Room and our Toddler One Room. On our upper level in our Toddler Two room and Pre-School.

Each Room is spacious and the children are available to free-flow around into each area of the room, which gives the children the opportunity to explore all areas of learning within nursery. We have a large garden area at nursery for our 2 – 5 year olds and our babies, 0-2yrs, also have their very own garden to play and explore.

We have an onsite chef at nursery, Denise, who has been with the nursery for 10 years. Denise is committed to cooking nutritious food for all of the children, whatever their dietary needs, from our 4 weekly menus which offer a varied range of tastes. Our kitchen has received 5 stars on our EHO visits, most recently in September 2011.
