About this day nursery

Busy Bees Day Nursery at Sudbury Hill in Greenford, which opened in 2004, provides all-year-round childcare from 8am to 6pm, Monday to Friday, for children aged 1 to 4 years. The nursery received a "Good" rating in its latest Ofsted inspection on 27th April 2023.

Children are described as happy and safe under the care of experienced and nurturing staff, exploring their environment with confidence and enthusiasm. Clear routines help children understand expectations, and they respond well to positive feedback from staff.

The nursery focuses on developing children's independence, with both younger and older children learning practical self-help skills, preparing them well for school. Leaders have implemented an effective curriculum, particularly in communication, language, and mathematics, with staff integrating mathematical concepts into daily activities.

The nursery is proactive in supporting children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), identifying needs early and implementing strategies to support individual learning journeys, including timely referrals to external professionals. While staff do plan some activities for gross motor skills like running and jumping, leaders are aware that more opportunities for climbing to develop risk-taking skills are needed.

The nursery fosters good parent partnerships, communicating through an app and verbally, and values parental feedback to enhance the setting.

They identify these children early and ensure that strategies are in place to support them where needed. Leaders make timely referrals to external professionals, ensuring that every child makes good progress on their individual learning journey.

Tracey and the whole staff at Sudbury Hill are: friendly, nurturing and accommodating. We got this impression from the moment we viewed the nursery. They take your childcare very seriously and safeguarding is paramount to this. The systems and procedures that are put in place mean that as a parent, you are reassured and at ease. We’re very sad that our son is going off to primary school and leaving BB Sudbury Hill as he’s made wonderful friends and so have we as parents but we know they’ve laid excellent foundations for his future. A special shout out to Verlyn for all the advice and chats and Rosie for evening helping me jump start my car when we broke down in the car park. Thank you for the memories!

Our daughter has been attending Busy Bees Nursery for a few months now, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. She has accomplished so many milestones in such a short time, and we truly believe it’s thanks to the incredible teachers who care for her and support her learning every day. The staff go above and beyond to create a warm, nurturing, and stimulating environment, and it’s clear they genuinely love what they do. Seeing our little one thrive and grow with their guidance has been amazing. We are so grateful for the positive impact they are making in her life. Highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a caring and enriching place for their child!
