- DDDaisyAug 7, 20265.0We’ve had such a lovely experience with Busy Bees Cheam. Kate is always very responsive, professional and helpful, and communication has always been great. Evelyn absolutely loves Unsa – she is always so warm, friendly and caring, and takes the time to tell us about Evelyn’s day and how she’s been getting on. Raeshma is also incredibly patient, friendly and helpful, and Sara is always lovely and welcoming too. We really appreciate the daily updates and find the app very useful. Most importantly, Evelyn is always happy to go in in the morning and comes home happy at the end of the day, which means a lot to us. We’ve been really happy with the nursery and are very grateful to Kate and the whole team for taking such good care of Evelyn. ❤️
- MJMellow JaneAug 6, 20265.0My daughter enjoys attending this nursery and made a lot of friends. She says she loves her teachers and they’re the best, only shows how well they treat the children. She also learned a lot of new things and especially enjoys making creations which she looks forward to show us every after session. My daughter was very anxious and was crying a lot when she first started, but the teachers did very well and had been so patient until my daughter got her confidence and is now thriving and enjoying schooltime with BusyBees.
- JJJessica JAug 6, 20265.0My little boy has attended this nursery for 3 years and has loved it. He has learnt so much there and made a lovely group of friends that I hope he will keep in contact with for years to come despite going to different schools in September. Having a lovely group of nursery parent friends was an unexpected perk! There is a sense of community here which is great and the nursery really comes alive at key moments like easter and Christmas and the staff make these times of year extra special for the children. There are also little events and activities raising money for charity. The recent preschool graduation ceremony was a real highlight where the staff went above and beyond to hold a party for the graduationg children at the weekend giving up their own time to do so. Other highlights over the years include christmas parties and fairs, police visiting the nursery to teach the children and letting the children sit in the police cars, easter bonnet parades, parents evenings, lovely mothers and fathers day crafts, bringing buzz the bee home for a weekend and keeping a diary of his adventures with us etc The staff are great here, particularly over the last year or so the staff turnover is very low which shows the staff are happy and you can see that they enjoy their work and care for the children. There are many members of staff who have worked with my son for the whole time he has attended. Kate the manager is a great asset to the nursery and is very kind and friendly, on many occasions over the years I have seen her come away from the office to personally help if children are struggling to settle and reassures the parents. Its great to have both management and the staff in the rooms proactively engaging in the childrens wellbeing. The nursery has its own busy bees app now which is so easy to use, i can see exactly what my son has been up to including what he has eaten and drank, if he has slept, if he has been in the garden, if he has had suncream on etc. They also take photos of their play and send observations of their learning and activities and provide in depth development reviews at key milestones. He comes home with lots of lovely artwork and craft. The staff take their time to do a proper handover on drop off and pick up. My son has had accidents at the nursery which happens with small children and the staff deal with them promptly and professionally with a phone call straight away and a form with all the details of what happened. I have a new baby who will be going here too. I have recently visited most other nurseries in the area and for our family I'm confident busy bees continues to be the best care that nurserys can offer in the area. The fees are also very good for the area and the location with car park is very handy for london and other commutes and the nursery has excellent opening times e.g is only closed on national holidays and weekends meaning childcare is reliable all year round which helps when you also need to work all year round.
- SCSophie ClougherFeb 2, 20265.0Our son started at Busy Bees Cheam at the beginning of January and we have been so happy with every aspect of the nursery and care. He has settled in really nicely with the nursery and other children and the staff have helped with that. All the staff are friendly, happy, professional and give a great handover of your child's day. It has made the process feel relaxed and positive and we look forward to hearing / seeing on the app what he has been up to. They spend lots of time in the garden and each week parents get a list of activities and themes for their child's week. Thanks everyone, we are very happy!
Frequently Asked Questions About Busy Bees at Cheam
Can I pay for hourly childcare?
We're afraid not – sorry. If you'd like a place at a Busy Bees nursery, your child will need to come along for at least two half sessions, or one full day, each week. Speak to your local nursery about your specific needs - they'll be more than happy to help.
Can my child come to nursery for just one day a week?
Yes, they certainly can! You can book a minimum of two half-day sessions or one full day each week. Just talk to your local nursery to discuss exactly what you need.
Do I need to pay extra for meals and snacks while my child is at nursery?
Your child's meals and snacks are all covered in your nursery fee, so you won't need to make any additional payments. Their nursery place includes breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a variety of tasty snacks throughout the day, and we can cater for all kinds of dietary requirements and allergies as well as fussy eaters. Just talk to your nursery team if your child has any specific needs. You can take a look at an example menu on our website in the "Eating Well" section.
Do you offer creche facilities?
Sorry, we don't offer creche facilities at Busy Bees nurseries. You'll need to book a minimum of two half-day sessions or one full day at nursery each week to book a place. Have a chat with your local nursery if you'd like to know more.
Do you offer funded places?
Of course! We know it's not always easy to cover the costs of childcare, so we're pleased to offer a variety of funding options at our nurseries – including 30 hours funded childcare. If you're not sure whether you qualify, speak to your local nursery to work out the right funding option for you. You can find more about childcare funding at Busy Bees in the "Quality Childcare" section of our website.
Do you offer taster sessions?
Yes, we do – we call them settling-in sessions. If you're interested in a settling-in session, start by booking a visit to your local nursery; they can tell you more about how it works.
Do you provide nappies?
Whether or not we provide nappies varies from nursery to nursery. In some, we offer an all-inclusive package that covers nappies for children under 2. In others, we ask parents to provide their own. Talk to your local nursery to check whether you'll need to supply your own nappies.
Do your nurseries have gardens?
Yes, they do! All of our nurseries have wonderful, fully equipped outdoor spaces for your child to explore. We plan every space carefully to extend learning opportunities, inspire creativity and – just as importantly – provide different ways to play. Resources like our mud kitchens, trikes and more are always available for children to use, and we run special activities outdoors too. Find your local nursery to learn more about their facilities.
How do I find my nearest nursery?
Simple! Just go on our website and click "Find your nursery". There are over 350 nurseries in the Busy Bees Group across the UK, that deliver high quality childcare and exciting learning opportunities that give every child a head start as they prepare for school.
How do I set up an account for UP?
If you are a Busy Bees parent, just enter the email address you have registered with nursery. This will be the same email that your invoices are sent to. If you are not sure which email address you have used you can check with your nursery manager. If you are a Busy Bees practitioner, your manager will provide you with your log in details.
How will I know if my child is settling in?
Starting nursery is an emotional time, for you as well as for your child. After all, it’s a big step! So, we’ll do everything we can to help your child settle in and give you peace of mind.
Before your child starts nursery, you're welcome to come for a settling-in session. During the session, you'll have the chance to watch your child explore nursery and interact with other children and staff. We'll also assign your child a Key Person. Their Key Person is your dedicated contact while your child is at nursery, and they'll keep you updated on their progress each day. If there are any problems at all, they'll let you know. Speak to your local nursery if you'd like to know more about settling-in sessions.
I don't have a child at a Busy Bees nursery; can I use the UP app?
Sorry – only parents of Busy Bees children and educators at Busy Bees will be able to use the app. It’s all part of how we give the children at our nurseries their very best start in life.
My child's a really fussy eater. Can I send them to nursery with a packed lunch?
For lots of children and for all kinds of reasons, food can be a bit tricky. In fact, that’s exactly why we don’t allow packed lunches or snacks from home at our nurseries; many of the children in our care have allergies, and we just can’t put their safety at risk.
Instead, we provide fresh and tasty breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacks at every one of our nurseries. Our menus are healthy, varied, and NHS approved, and we cater for special dietary requirements, cultural food choices, allergies, and fussy eaters, so every child can look forward to tasty food they love to eat. It’s all covered in your nursery fee, too. You can take a look at an example menu on our website in the "Eating Well" section.
What will I find on the UP app?
Our UP learning programme is jam-packed with activities and information, all designed to help your child learn and grow. You'll find professional advice from our team of experts on everything from healthy eating to preparing for school, as well as hundreds of activities for you to try. There are even 50 songs to listen, sing, and dance to with your child, recorded just for Busy Bees. You can learn more about UP on our website.
What's the UP app?
UP is Busy Bees unique learning programme and app, inspired by our promise to give children the best start in life, in and out of nursery.
"UP" stands for "Unleashing Potential", because that's exactly what we've designed this programme to do. Made for children aged 0 to 5, it's filled with an inexhaustible range of activities and advice for every age and stage of nursery children, and the app puts it all at parents fingertips. You can learn more about UP on our website.
What’s an Enrolment Event?
Enrolment Events are like open days or open weeks at Busy Bees. It's a chance for you to visit your local nursery, take a look around, and see some of our exciting activities in action. Then, if you decide to book a nursery place during the event, you'll receive an extra special offer* – it's our way of welcoming you to the family. Talk to your local nursery if you’d like to know more.
*Note: This only applies to participating nurseries, and terms and conditions apply.
