My older son went to Busy Bees for the 3 years. Starting at first step then toddler room and finishing at preschool.
All staff are very professional, very caring and loving.

We started our son at Busy Bees in November 2022. From the very beginning the staff were so welcoming and comforting and immediately gave us the reassurance that our son would be well looked after during his time there. Nearly one year later, my son absolutely loves it here and is developing into such
a kind, confident and social child. We can't thank the Busy Bees staff enough for contributing so well to his development and caring for him so well.

Such a pleasant warm and happy environment. The facilities are great with lots of outdoor playtime involved. I find it easy to speak with management and staff and they are very helpful. I’m updated with my child’s day often and he always leaves nursery very happy! I love that meals and nappies are all
provided by the setting it makes everything much easier to know it’s all taken care of.

Our son started going to Busy Bees at the age of 1 year and a couple of months and graduated from here to start school. We are so pleased to have chosen this nursery as there was not one day when our son wasn’t keen to go. We are proud of who he has become - a loving, caring, polite, social, confident
child and we can’t thank the Busy Bees staff enough for help making him who he is. They guided us at times we were clueless ( as first-time parents) about particular behaviour, and they worked with us to resolve it. We have never worried about sending him here as we know the staff are very caring.
We couldn’t have asked for more from a nursery/preschool.
Thank you again.

I have been trusting this nursery with my children for 5 years now, I used to call the nursery every single day for many years to check how they are doing, if they have eaten if they are loved and having fun. It took me 3 years to completely trust the nursery but in the end I did.
And that's because
of the wonderful staff and management.
The nursery director was always available to listen to my concerns and take action, she has a unique talent for running the nursery and all the staff look happy around her. It is her and the lovely nursery teachers who make this nursery magical and special because when it comes to your child everything matters, every little detail.
The nursery teachers work so hard and they are so loving and caring and this is something that shows and that had a great impact on my children's development, I couldn't thank them enough.
Emotional support for my little ones has always been a priority for me and this nursery knows for sure how to offer it.

Wonderful place, great staff, good environment.
We're pleased with the choice we made for our children and highly recommend it.
Our daughter settled in well in PS a year ago, with good support from staff for transitioning. She's been happy ever since, sad to leave now for school. The outdoor play
area is very good and gives them plenty of space and time for play. (A big thank you to the team from us).
Our youngest also settled in well in the nursery, with great support from staff, flexibility around his needs and attention to detail. Feedback is always meaningful, and staff are caring.
If you're looking for childcare, look no further.

My 1.5-year-old son settled in really well. He only eats at the nursery and eats everything, whereas at home he is fussy. He sleeps well too. Really enjoys the innovation his nursery brings - book corner, family calendar and exchange of photos from home.

We have been going to Busy Bees for 3 years now. My son started to walk and to talk there and keep developing his skills and abilities.
We have been in every single room and all staff are just amazing! Everyone is trying their best and creating so many activities for our children. I am absolutely adoring
this place as my child loves going to nursery, most of his friends have started together in babies room and keep their journey all together up to preschool class!
Worth mentioning that food is freshly made on a daily bases and my child eats it with huge pleasure!

My daughter has attended BusyBees for a year and half. She is really settled and is in awe of all the staff, even the ones that are not in her class. I have seen her develop into a confident little girl and I give credit to all the staff for creating a very positive and homely environment. It is my
daughters home away from home. Excellent communication and concerns are allayed immediately. I would definitely recommend.

A very good nursery and I would highly recommend it. Two of my children attended the nursery years ago and loved it. My daughter now attends and is always happy. The staff are brilliant and are always attentive to my child. The centre manager is always on point, very professional and reliable and deals
with enquiries promptly. Cannot fault her professionalism. I am a very happy parent.

The centre director and assistant centre manager are brilliant, true professionals that really take the time to get to know each child individually and each parent. They are very responsive and open to feedback, approachable and always willing to help and adapt approaches to support individual children's
needs.
The key workers are all so kind, patient and caring with the children.
As first-time parents, we have been on an incredible learning journey with this nursery over the last 3 years and have made felt supported each step of the way. Thank you to the manager and her amazing team.

Our little one has been at Busy Bees for almost a year and has been so happy here during that time. He joined the baby room at 10 months old and his development has surpassed our expectations. The environment is very loving and there are always lots of different activities planned to keep the children
occupied. The food is varied and balanced and our little one has always enjoyed his meals.

My daughter started in the baby room this February at nine and a half months. I was a little apprehensive as she was so young, but my fears were quickly put to rest as I could see how caring the staff were. She has since moved up to the first steps room and every morning she runs into the room and sits
down for breakfast (not even looking back at me). The fact that she loves it there is a testament to the staff and the lovely room settings. My daughter has also come on leaps and bounds with everything she has learnt at Busy Bees. I would highly recommend this nursury to all new parents.

I would highly recommend this nursery. All the staff know you and you feel like part of a family there.
We currently have our second child going through the same nursery and he enjoys it so much. They also took good care of him when he fractured his arm. He had his arm in a cast for 6 weeks!
They
would make suggestions for further development or highlight concerns and likewise if I was trying to work on something I would seek help and advice. Whilst I struggled to get our little boy to say please and thank you, the team there did a great job after a couple of days he was saying his please and thank you!
You do feel assured that your child is at a safe place and being looked after. The app with updates throughout the day is good, just wish there were more pics of him - especially meal time ones!

Amazing nursery with great stuff, nice and clean areas for kids to play and learn! My daughter started the nursery in September 2020 (during the pandemic time) but I always felt safe to send my little one with them. I definitely recommend this nursery, we couldn't have chosen the best start in life
for our daughter!

Meticulous with paperwork, was always up to date, the App was always efficiently updated. The staff feedback was always very informative. I felt very confident leaving my daughter at Busy Bees, she had her favourite key workers who always looked out for her and her needs, as she was asthmatic and had
allergies. A very organised, friendly and tidy environment. All the staff were lovely and genuinely cared for the children. Best nursery I could've sent my daughter to.

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.739)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.739) out of 10 for Busy Bees Enfield Highlands Village is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.9 out of 5 from 6 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 4.889 for Busy Bees Enfield Highlands Village is calculated as follows: ( (65 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.889

  • 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 3.85 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Enfield Highlands Village is based on 6 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 = 3.6

    • 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 120 number of registered child places is 24. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 24 = 0.25

  • 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.
