Busy Bees Day Nursery at Sudbury Hill
Good★ 4.6 on GoogleBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in Greenford for children from birth to 8+, open 08:00 to 18:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in April 2023. Open since 2005.
What you might pay
This setting does not publish its fees, and no national dataset holds them. This is what childcare costs across the council, as a starting point for the call.
What childcare usually costs in Harrow
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Harrow from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

What it is like to attend
Children are happy and safe under the care of the experienced and nurturing staff team. Children form warm relationships with staff and respond well to the engaging tones which the staff use to interact with them.
Children are happy and confident learners who are keen to explore the environment around them. They enthusiastically participate in a wide range of learning opportunities, such as mixing ingredients for play dough, water play, drawing with chalk and role play in the home corner.
Children play well with their peers and interact confidently with staff. They understand what is expected of them, due to clear, well embedded routines.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- consider how to provide more opportunities for children to take safe risks n support staff to consistently model accurate speech.

What to ask them
None of this is in any national dataset and this setting has not published it, which is exactly why it is worth asking.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- Can I use my funded hours here? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Is there a place for my child's age? Baby rooms fill first and waiting lists are common.
- Who would my child's key person be? And how long have the staff been there. No dataset holds this and it matters more than anything above.
- Can I visit at a busy time? Mid-morning on a weekday tells you far more than an empty room after hours.
