My child started going to Busy Bees Perivale at only 6 months old. She was the smallest baby there as I had to go back to work. This was extremely difficult but seeing how they were with my child made it easier. Every time I would drop my baby off, they would open their arms out with the biggest smiles
and my baby would automatically connect with them. I love how there is a chef who cooks them healthy meals. The chef would cater to my child as she was so small so would make her purees. The staff are extremely friendly, always caring and also provide advice which is great if you are a first-time mum like me. They use the app and update me on what she has eaten, how many hours she has slept, nappy changes, and even milestones, which is nice. I would also get photos of her during the day sent to me and her dad, which is really nice to see her day. I am so glad I picked this nursery, I can see how much my baby has grown and how much she loves the teachers there.

Brilliant nursery. My child spent a year and a half there and graduated this month. Great teachers, very positive atmosphere, would highly recommend. All the staff, including the cook, were just an amazing team who went beyond their responsibilities to take care of our kids.
Thank you!

My child joined Busy Bees Nursery at the end of 2022 and I have been very impressed. The staff are very friendly and take their time to get to know the children individually. The daily food menu is varied. My child has made several friends and speaks fondly of her teachers.

My 3rd child has just started at the nursery last month and I've been really happy once again, with everything. I've known most of the staff since my 1st child started 5.5 years ago and they're still just as friendly, attentive, caring and dedicated. What I liked about the nursery initially, was that
they had great procedures in place to cover the children's needs, with them being well established, but more so that the staff and managers are available all the time and keep you up to date with everything related to your children. It's always hard, trusting someone else to look after your children, but I found them willing to answer any questions, no matter how many times I needed to call or check-in, in the beginning, and they always gave me a full update on what they'd been up to during the day. On top of it all, the prices were competitive compared to my other local nurseries, which helps a lot. All in all, I highly recommend and would choose it again if I had to.

The staff are responsive to the needs of parents and children and do their best to accommodate. I needed an early start and they are brilliant at organising that. The staff are all trained on medical issues concerning each child and were very keen on asking for any updates they needed to know about,
showing an excellent level of care. There is good communication especially via email and ParentZone. Fundamentally, my daughter has been happy and the practitioners have been pivotal in that.

My daughter started in Oct 2021, when she turned 1 year old and absolutely loves it at nursery, which makes us very happy. She’s there from 9-5pm and I am, pleased that it also covers term-time as well. After her initial period of adjustment, she now gets very excited setting off for nursery and arriving
to meet the staff. We get feedback at pick ups and an app is updated with food, nappies, photos and learning progress and we’ve been encouraged to update it too, with what she enjoys at home/outside nursery, so activities can be tailored or photos used for play/crafts. The staff are all very friendly and set up lots of messy play, craft and learning activities for the kids, which I love. The staff make us feel very comfortable asking for advice and are always happy to help. Very pleased with our choice of nursery and would definitely recommend it.

My overall experience with the Busy Bees Nursery, is very good. Staff are caring and take very good care of the children. At the end of the day, staff give a summary of your child's day and the food that they have had. I would recommend the Busy Bees Nursery to a friend. The safeguarding policy is always

I cannot recommend Busy Bees enough! I knew from the moment I stepped into the setting that this was the nursery for us. The staff have all been lovely to both my son and me. My son has formed strong connections and is always doing fun and beneficial activities. Communication from the nursery to parents
is really good, with updates as to my son's activities, being provided throughout the day, via an app and more generally the carers always let us know how he has been, when I pick him up at the end of the day. I want to end by saying a massive thank you, to all of the team!

Our daughter has been going to the nursery since she was 13 months old. We were impressed with the nurturing environment provided at Busy Bees. The staff are friendly and attentive and keep us updated on our child's progress. The children do a wide range of activities, which support essential learning.
We were impressed at how confident our child was with numbers and colours. The nursery was fantastic when it came to potty training and supportive of any requirements we had. A fantastic nursery!

Our Son attended Busy Bees, Perivale from age 1, through to leaving for school. Our 1-year-old daughter now attends, as we were really happy with how our son's nursery journey went. He formed great bonds with teachers and was well taken care of, supported, developed and was ready and prepared for school
when the time came. Our daughter is now in her fourth month there. She was very reluctant at first, her exposure to others had been so limited up to this point. Due to the pandemic, she had little experience of being held by others or being around groups of children. The staff quickly learnt her personality, likes and dislikes and adapted their approach, which helped her settle in super quickly. Also, we get a good amount of updates on her progress via the app. Great nursery, highly recommended.

Only I think I could fault it on is more regular and direct feedback as I don’t always feel like I know how his day has been, but otherwise, there is nothing to complain about!

Overall, I am very pleased with Busy Bees at Perivale. The team at the nursery were fantastic at settling my daughter into the nursery since day one. There are taking great care of my child, which reflects on her development in many areas, especially social skills. They provide so many play activities,
which my child love. There is a child monitoring app available, which allows to monitor what is happening throughout the day with pictures and child observations included. Well presented playroom with lots of space, indoor and outdoor too. All staff members are very professional and great with children who are happy to come each day that they do not want to leave. Safety, care and compassion is in the centre of this nursery. I would highly recommend this nursery to friends and family.

Our daughter has attended Busy Bees nursery for almost one year now after I returned to work following maternity leave. From the moment we viewed the nursery, the manager and her team could not do enough to make us feel welcome and accommodate our requests and needs, they even let us return a couple
of times to get a great feel for the place and meet all the key workers to ensure it was the right place for us and our daughter.
Our daughter has always been happy whilst in the care of the staff and we receive regular updates virtually and a full breakdown of her day each time we collect her, the attention to detail is second to none.
It's great to see all the staff interacting with the children, often the chef gets the biggest smile from our daughter!
We're very happy with our choice of nursery, it's a great location, parking on site which makes the drop-offs and pick-ups stress-free, and the opening hours of the centre are great and very suitable for our working schedules.

My daughter has been at this nursery since Jan 2018 and really loves it. I thought it would take her a while to settle in but the staff were so helpful that she settled in much quicker than I anticipated. She is always talking about what they do at the nursery and singing songs they have learnt. All
the staff are very friendly and have made her feel at home. Even on the days when she is not at nursery she wants to go. The outdoor space is so spacious and looked after and it’s nice to see the children running around and playing with scooters etc without the worry of them getting hurt.
The ParentZone app is also excellent as it keeps us in touch with how our child is doing. We can see photos of them doing activities and their progress reports.

I believe he sees the staff and children kind of like an extended family and that's why we continue to be content and happy leaving him there each day. He is always really keen to get to nursery and play with his classmates and really

I have used this nursery for three years with my first child and now my second child has been there almost a year. In all this time, I have nothing but praise and positive regard for the staff and management. There are very high standards in all aspects of the nursery and I find they are constantly
improving and changing things to improve the child’s experience and to communicate well with parents and especially love the app which provides updates throughout the day with photos etc.


Staff are professional all of the time and really do care about the children. There has been very little staff turnover which is always a good indicator of a positive place of work, so it has been lovely that those staff who worked with my first child now are part of my second child’s life which is great continuity of care and really does alleviate any anxiety or concern on leaving very young children for such long periods. They really do contribute to the development and happiness of the children.

Current Review Score: 8.3 (8.257)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.3 (8.257) out of 10 for Busy Bees Perivale Greenford is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.3 out of 5 from 2 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 5.000 for Busy Bees Perivale Greenford is calculated as follows: ( (24 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 5

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 3.257 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Perivale Greenford is based on 2 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 = 3.125

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 76 number of registered child places is 15.2. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 15.2 = 0.132

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
