Open all year round, from 8am to 6pm, the day nursery received a "Good" rating in its latest Ofsted inspection on 1 June 2023. Children are warmly welcomed and happy to start their day in a safe, well-organised environment that fosters skill development. The nursery offers a well-designed curriculum, encouraging children to explore their own interests and make good progress. There is a strong focus on the prime areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage, with good language provision including cosy book areas and a book lending library. Children are encouraged to become independent learners, developing their skills through play and conversation. The nursery effectively manages behaviour by explaining expectations and the impact of actions. Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are particularly well supported by their key persons. Individual development targets are set, and their progress is continually monitored, ensuring full engagement in activities and good progress. Communication and language teaching for older children is strong, with staff modelling correct English and using resources to support those learning English as an additional language. Mathematics teaching across all age groups is also highly effective, with staff identifying opportunities for children to practice early number skills. While younger children enjoy stimulating outdoor play spaces, the pre-school outdoor provision is an area for ongoing development to further enhance independent learning opportunities. Parents consistently share very positive feedback, praising the caring staff and the strong key person relationships. What it's like Children receive a warm welcome from staff and are happy and excited to start their day. The nursery is well organised and provides a safe environment with many opportunities for children to build on and improve their skills. Staff have high expectations for all children.

Inspection #10289616 · Source: Ofsted View full Ofsted report (https://files.ofsted.gov.uk/v1/file/50222139) ## What parents say Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection > Parents generally share very positive views of the nursery. > They say that their children settled in well and have continued to enjoy the experience. > They highlight how caring the staff are and how well key persons know their children. Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are well supported by their key persons, who know them extremely well. Clear learning and development targets are set, and children's progress towards achieving them is constantly monitored. These children fully engage in all activities and make good progress. Outdoor space Children throughout the nursery enjoy playing outside. Younger children's outside play spaces are stimulating, providing opportunities for children to explore many areas of learning. However, the pre-school outside provision is not always as well planned, and independent activities do not provide enough interest and/or opportunities for them to broaden their knowledge and skills. ## Google Reviews of Busy Bees Day Nursery at Enfield 4.5 (21 Google reviews) Aya Aljamil 3 months ago Staff are very friendly and always smiling ready to take my child in.

From day one we have been ecstatic with how they have cared for our daughter. She has been at the nursery since she was 9 months old having never left us before, the staff in the baby room are outstanding and she settled in amazingly. She has a fantastic bond with her key worker and has such fun attending every day. Her development has come on leaps and bounds thanks to the activities she does with staff and other children. She hates to leave and cries when she has to come home. Communication is excellent as are the safety measures in place for Covid. We love seeing the updates on the app and think this is a wonderful feature.

I have been really happy with her care at Busy Bees, the most important thing to me has been that all the staff I have had contact with have really cared about the children. The manager Kaley is excellent and she always makes time to speak to parents if they have any questions or concerns.
