I was very precautious in choosing a nursery for him, but certainly made the right decision in choosing this nursery. He is thriving, has great relationships with his key workers- Chloe and Charlotte especially.  He has grown a considerable amount and is gaining weight, always has lots to talk about when he comes home. The only slight downside is the long queues to collect and drop off as can take sometimes 20 mins, but understandable due to Covid that we can’t all pile in at once. Highly recommend if you want your child to thrive!",

Inclusion & environment

## How they support every child

SEND provision

All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), make exceptionally rapid progress in their learning. Staff work with children in small groups to maintain focus and concentration, using repetition and recall to embed learning. Children who receive additional funding are extremely well supported, as staff secure resources or additional staff hours to ensure no child falls behind.

Outdoor space

The inspectors observed the quality of education being provided, indoors and outdoors, and assessed the impact that this was having on children's learning. Children carry out risk assessments in the garden and understand how to manage the risks to keep them, and their friends, safe.

I cannot recommend this nursery school enough. The teachers and administrative staff at this school have gone above and beyond for our daughter. She is happy and thriving everyday when we collect her. The amount she has grown over the last year is amazing, and its all because of this school and their incredible staff. If you reside in or around Chelmsford you need to enrol your children here. You will not regret it.

Our daughter is there very happy. Her start was difficult due to czech language being her first language and she wasn't used to be around lot of kids at once. But the ladies caring for children made her adjusting period easier. They were trying to help as much as they could and even made the list of some words in czech language to help them to communicate.

I moved my son to busy bees after a bad experience with his previous nursery and a very inadequate ofsted report. I was very precautious in choosing a nursery for him, but certainly made the right decision in choosing this nursery. He is thriving, has great relationships with his key workers- Chloe and Charlotte especially. He has grown a considerable amount and is gaining weight, always has lots to talk about when he comes home. The only slight downside is the long queues to collect and drop off as can take sometimes 20 mins, but understandable due to Covid that we can’t all pile in at once. Highly recommend if you want your child to thrive!

Excellent nursery with a comfortable, caring and focused outlook. My daughter really enjoys her time here and is challenged, yet learning impressively, in a fun age appropriate environment. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Busy Bees Springfield is an excellent nursery. The team are really caring and dedicated to the development and safety of the children. They can cater to some complex allergies and their communication is really reassuring.
