My daughter is very happy to start with you

We couldn’t be happier with Busy Bees Perivale. Our son had a very difficult experience at his previous nursery in Central London; he cried for nearly two months and never truly settled. Over time, he became shy and anxious around people, which was completely out of character for him. From the moment he started at Busy Bees Perivale, everything changed. We had a very good impression from the first introductory meeting with the team. The staff took the time to get to know him as an individual and supported him gently through the settling-in process. Communication here has been excellent, with frequent and detailed updates throughout the week about the activities in his class, which gives us great reassurance. It’s clear that the staff genuinely care about the children and their wellbeing. He settled in less than a week and truly feels like a different child. He is now happy, confident, and excited to go to nursery each day. His language, social skills, and confidence have improved significantly in just a few months. The activities are engaging, well-structured, and clearly support his development in a fun and nurturing way. The care, support, and positive environment at Busy Bees Perivale have made such a meaningful impact on our son and our family. Knowing he feels safe, supported, and happy has given us complete peace of mind. We feel extremely confident and reassured leaving our son in their care. Busy Bees Perivale has exceeded all our expectations, and we are beyond grateful. We would highly recommend Busy Bees Perivale to any parent looking for a nurturing, supportive, and well-run nursery.
