Nursery in Harlow

We couldn't be happier with Busy Bees nursery. Every single member of staff is absolutely amazing - caring, patient, and genuinely dedicated to the children. The love and attention they give each day really shows, and it gives us complete peace of mind knowing our son is in such safe and nurturing hands. The staff go above and beyond in everything they do, from supporting the children's development to creating a warm, welcoming environment where they truly thrive. We are so grateful for the incredible job they do and can't thank them enough. I would highly recommend Busy Bees to any parent looking for an outstanding nursery.

My two year old daughter started Busy Bees in September 2025. We went to view few nurseries in Harlow but I must say, they were the most professional and welcoming team. Initially it took a good couple of months for my daughter to settle in maybe because she is there part time but she absolutely loves her key worker. When role playing at home she is always mentioning her! The nursery has definitely helped with her communication, confidence and peer interaction, I was able to notice the difference within her first month. We love how friendly everyone is, especially during our pick ups, all of the staff seem to recognise you and know who you are there to pick even if you haven't had any interaction with them, this requires effort, care and passion. So thank you to everyone at Busy Bees Harlow Greenway.

My daughter started nursery in October 2025. English is not her first language, and her vocabulary was very limited - just basic needs like toilet, drink/eat, I need help, and a few other words. The settling-in period took up to two months, while I expected it to take three or more. The educators do everything - and even more - to make children feel comfortable. They share advice on how to support the child and what can be improved. Now she goes to nursery calmly, says she had a good day, and during playtime at home, when we're cooking on her toy kitchen, she invites the nursery teachers to our table, naming them one by one. I think this is a very good way to understand how children feel about their educators. Her English vocabulary amazes me every day, and I can clearly see how much progress she has made. I like that children do a lot of drawing, modelling, and creative activities like cutting and gluing. I'm truly happy that my child attends this nursery.

Such a lovely nursery all staff are so kind and caring

My son recently graduated from Busy Bees in August, and I couldn't be happier with his experience there. Over the time he spent at the nursery, I've seen wonderful progress in his development - not only academically, but also in his confidence, communication, and social skills. The staff are truly dedicated, warm, anattentive.They always made my child feel safe, supported, and motivated to learn. I especially appreciated how well they communicated with parents, keeping us involved in every step of the journey. Busy Bees is not just a place for children to learn, but a nurturing environment where they feel valued and cared for. I am very grateful to all the teachers and staff for their patience, professionalism, and kindness. I wholeheartedly recommend Busy Bees to any parent looking for a high-quality nursery children can thrive and reach their potential. Thank you very much for all the support!

Staff are always friendly and supportive. They build great relationships with both children and parents. My son has loved each key worker he has had and it is great to know he is looked after so well. He loves the garden and being outdoors and they always make time for outdoor learning.

This nursery has helped both my children grow, learn and become more independent. My oldest (34m) absolutely loves her key person and is upset if she isn't in that day for any reason. She has really made my child feel comfortable at nursery. The staff seem to bond with the kids, putting them at ease and making it feel like a safe space for them, even the younger class (16m). The app is amazing as I can get real time notifications and updates of when my child has had their nappy changed, how much and what they ate and I can also see pictures of them having fun etc. The food is always nutritious and fresh which I love, which has also made them open to trying a wider variety of fresh foods at home too. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone!

Busy Bees Harlow deserve all the credit for the amazing work they do! They made my son feel right at home from the day he started and allowing him to flourish. He has the best time there and it's evident everyday by how excited he is to go to nursery. Each staff member is his second family and holds a special place in his heart! Communication has always been second to none, updating us with lovely pictures and milestones achieved within the setting aswell as the healthy meals and snacks my child has eaten via their amazing App! The staff retention speaks for itself, its clear that the staff are dedicated, caring and passionate for thier line of work. We couldn't have picked a better nursery that gave us the reassurance of knowing our child was in a safe, fun, happy environment and that gave him the tools to now prepare him for school! The staff are absolute gems and are very rare find! Keep up the amazing work!!

As 1st time mum you always worry about the welfare of your child, specially when they are so tiny and vulnerable, busy bees staff do put you at ease I can't thank one member of staff, in particular, enough for her profissionalism and care for my little one.
