The staff are what makes this nursery so special, they are so warming and supportive and my son loves being there. We are always greeted with a smile and everyone knows his name which makes such a difference. I cannot fault the nursery in anyway. Overall a very happy, friendly, safe place and I always feel comfortable leaving my little boy in their hands.

Amazing nursery. Staff are so welcoming and friendly. Nursery always clean and inviting. My son lives it there, always smiling and happy to go. Lovely gardens and great variety on menus. Updates and photos on the app daily. I feel reassured and happy leaving my son in the mornings.

My child has been at this nursery since she was 9 months old and she has now just turned 2. We have had really good experiences in each room she has moved into and she really enjoys coming in each morning. The staff have always been so welcoming and lovely the minute we walk through the door and always make time for my child which has been lovely.

My grandson is so happy here. The staff really care about the well-being of the children and go above and beyond to ensure that their needs are always met. They prepare them for school to enable the child to transition with no fears. The food given to them is varied and healthy. I cannot express enough how wonderful the nursery is run with the children’s needs always paramount. I feel my grandson is safe here. I love the app so we can see what he has eaten and the wonderful pictures they take when he is doing activities.

Stanway Busy Bees was the best choice we made as a family, my son started five months ago and has settled in amazingly. All the staff are friendly and welcoming and reassure you from the start. My son loves coming to nursery every day and has developed so well since starting. Management are ever so helpful, it is always looking so clean and inviting. They have a good range of meals including all dietary requirements. We couldn’t thank everyone at Stanway enough for all they have done for our little boy.

My little girl started Busy Bees two months ago. We’ve been welcomed by the manager and deputy of the setting and nothing is too much. They have supported and helped the starting/settling in process brilliantly. The girls in the room have welcomed and helped settle her in fabulously. Each day to hear of all the fun she has had definitely reassured a nervous mummy on her daughter starting nursery for the first time. Would recommend the service and high standards of the nursery to anyone looking to have their child start.

Busy Bees Stanway is a fantastic establishment. My child was born during lockdown so has not has much social interaction with other children. I booked a show around which we attended and any doubts I had about sending my child to the nursery was instantly squashed. The nursery is clean, tidy and even for a short period of time I was there you could see how much the staff cared about the children. Since my child started at the nursery he has flourished and his confidence level has exceeded. He runs off in the morning happily. His key worker is amazing and constantly updates us on his progress through regular observations and pictures. Each room has its own outdoor play space too. Management are amazing and answer any questions I have instantly. All staff are very knowledgable, caring and you can see the love they have for their jobs. I have no doubt in my mind that I have done the right thing by choosing Busy Bees Stanway as a nursery for my little one.

We are so lucky we found such a lovely nursery for our daughter, she loves going to Busy Bees and is happy to be left with the wonderful staff in her room that has made her feel so welcome and have really helped her in both her learning and encouraging her to try lots of different foods (fussy eater ) which I’m so grateful for. I will definitely be recommending the nursery to family and friends.

My daughter has been at Busy Bees for nearly a year now and absolutely loves every day she spends there. The staff are so caring and attentive to all of her needs as well as supportive and reassuring to me! She always comes home and talks about all of the exciting activities she has done and is keen to show off the creative artwork she brings home. I cannot recommend the nursery enough.

We chose Busy Bees Stanway for our child as we felt like it was perfect for us, we felt welcomed, happy and friendly atmosphere. They made us feel so welcome and our child seemed very happy to attend, we were very pleased with the way they approached us on the first morning. We have had nothing but amazing feedback and are very happy that our child has settled in already. All staff are friendly and approachable, which we loved. We were happy we found a nursery with such a healthy and amazing looking menu this was important for us.

I am incredibly happy with my sons progress since starting in January. He started with delayed speech and wouldn't say any words and within a month he is attempting all words and using his speech more. I tried him at a previous nursery where he refused to go in. Busy Bees changed his perception of being left and he is the happiest child every time I pick him up. All of the staff are so lovely and his key worker has been amazing since day one. Thank you so much!

An amazing nursery. The staff couldn't do more for the children they care for. My son has developed so much since being at Busy Bees. His key worker is so caring and has helped my son with his social skills so much, going from a shy child who struggled to make friends to a confident child with lots of friends. Couldn't be happier.

Busy Bees at Colchester Stanway is a large nursery which offers plenty of activities for the children and a great opportunity to make new friends. The staff are friendly and very attentive to each child's need, such as assisting with speech, language development and spotting the need to make a specialist referral if required. Each room has its own outdoor space and they encourage lots of outdoor play all year round. My child love building a snowman! This setting is extremely clean and the food is cooked onsite, is nutritional and my fussy child is happy to eat it. They encourage self-feeding and independence from a young age. He will be sad to leave he starts school later this year.

I recommend the nursery all the time and cannot praise it highly enough.

My son started at Busy Bees at Colchester Stanway last September, following a poor experience at another nursery. We were really worried about how he would settle but the staff have built such a good relationship with him and he loves it there. It’s a brilliant nursery with a great setting, lots of interactive activities and very caring staff.

Busy Bees at Colchester Stanway has provided us with high quality childcare over several years. Staff are welcoming, supportive, skilled in their roles and always professional. As parents, this gives us confidence that we have left our children in the best possible place and they have always looked forward to returning each week. The nursery itself is well equipped, the food menus are varied and each day attended is full of activity. We have compared other day nurseries over time and are satisfied that Busy Bees at Colchester Stanway remains the stand out choice. Thank you to all the staff, especially during such a difficult twelve months with the challenges this has presented for you on top of your day to day roles.
