Day Nurseries Owned by Busy Bees Nurseries Ltd in Derbyshire

We are very happy with Busy Bees and would happily recommend the nursery to other families.

Busy Bees Bishops Drive has been amazing and helped my daughter come on so much. She has become a confident little girl and is ready to start school with all the help and care the staff have given her. Nothing is every to much trouble for the staff, and they will help in every way possible. Everyone that has looked after my daughter from the baby room all the way though to pre school have been fantastic

Thank you all and I wish you all the best for the future.

I would like to say a huge thank you to all of the team for the care, kindness and dedication they have shown our family over the years. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a nurturing, friendly and professional setting for their child.

My son has been coming to Busy Bees for 9 month and the progression we have seen in his development is amazing. The staff at Busy Bees are so lovely and supportive, always happy to answer any question we have and very supportive with allergies and making sure that they accommodate these within his day at nursery. The nursery manager is also very lovely and welcoming on drop off and collections and she is always happy to help with any question and never made to feel like any question is too silly or small. Overall would recommend this nursery.

The Busy Bees team at Bishops Drive are brilliant. They are conscientious and caring, listen to what each child needs, and do whatever they can to help. Our daughter has been at the nursery since she was almost 2, and she's now prepping to leave for school. The whole team have got to know her well, worked with our preferences around nap times and potty training (a million thanks) and have helped her with additional needs around diet and speech. It was just the warm and welcoming environment we needed while she was little, and they have really nurtured her through to primary school. She gives it 20 thumbs up at the end of the day and we whole heartedly recommend it to others.

I can wholeheartedly say that the trust and rapport built with the staff has come effortlessly, and I feel completely happy knowing my child is in safe hands. The staff are always attentive, caring, and approachable, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Busy Bees Long Eaton to other local parents.

Recommend them to everyone.

My twins adore going to nursery and it's so nice to know they are somewhere that makes them happy and that they get excited for. All the staff are great, you get plenty of updates everyday and photos too, they really make an effort. Both of my girls have learned new skills and mastered ones that they hadn't fully developed since starting in February. One of my girls has really struggled with a fork for the longest time - no matter the amount I tried to encourage her, a couple of months in and she is so good at using her fork now and she's so proud of herself, and I'm so proud of her too. I 100% give credit to the nursery staff!

Marie his key worker is always so lovely and happy to see us and any issues the girls are always so open and all been fab!

My son started this nursery less than a year ago and he has settled in extremely well, he absolutely loves going to nursery! The staff have been brilliant and are very invested in his development and are always keeping us up to date with what he has been learning and focusing on each week. The staff are compassionate and genuinely care about the children and it really reassures me that he is in safe hands when he is there.

We are really pleased with the care at Busy Bees. The staff are professional, friendly, practical and have an amazing ability to remember everyone's name to make it a personal experience! They have really bought our daughter on. Thank you!

the staffs are very kind and friendly they look after my child ok they always willing to update me on recent developments i could see the difference they make in my child development and my child is always still clean and cloths looks ok my child is always happy when been dropped at the daycare which shows he loves it and feels comfortable but the only issue which i understand is when i come pick my son his nose is not always properly clean which i didn't like but understand they are trying their best but overall he is well looked after thank you all for your hard work

My daughter started in Feb 2026 and the care and nurture she has received since starting is amazing. My daughter loves going to nursery and the nursery is that good and welcoming that it only took her 2 weeks to settle. I would recommend this nursery to everyone. The girls are happy to accommodate what ever needs we need for my daughter no change is to much.

The staff have really helped my little girl settle in, it was so tough at the start and all the staff looked after her (and me!) and I felt that sge was so well taken care of. They celebrated her milestones and progress and took lots of pictures to keep me informed if afar are was getting up to.

Since Archie has joined busy buys he has come on so so much and the girls are amazing with both Archie and even ourselves , the management is also so helpful and cannot do enough for you, Chloe & Charlotte are great! In the baby room Marie & tash was absolute diamonds and grew such an amazing bond - such Archie has been in the toddler room he has carried on progressing and all the girls are great

Our 1yo little girl has settled in brilliantly to life at Busy Bees, Bishops Drive. We were worried she'd be nervous, but the staff have gone above and beyond to help her feel comfortable and safe there, and she very quickly grew in confidence. They plan exciting and educational activities for each day, and we regularly recieve updates and photos of our daughter showing us what she's been up to that day. She now comes home chatty, full of energy, clearly showing her enjoyment and the confidence she has gained at nursery, and her waking has improved leaps and bounds since starting. I couldn't recommend Busy Bees, Bishops Drive more.

Having twins is hard work and can be very difficult at times and when I had to find a nursery for them when I went back to work I was filled with anxiety. That was until we visited busy bees on bishops drive. The staff instantly made us feel at ease, and cater to all of our boys needs. They are child led and follow routines that the boys have at home which has really helped them to feel settled. I can go to work at ease knowing the boys are safe, happy and will be well looked after. Everything from nutritious food to well planned activities in the room and then getting regular observations and updates on the app of what they have been up to throughout the week. Everything is well planned and thought of and all of the staff go above and beyond and are incredibly friendly and helpful. We are really glad we chose busy bees for our boys childcare .

I can't speak highly enough of the team at Busy Bees Bishops Drive. Ever since we started there in January 2026 they have been absolutely amazing. Everyone is so lovely and caring towards my daughter.

We couldn't recommend Busy Bees Silvertrees enough! The staff always go out of their way to help and our girls absolutely love going to nursery, which I think speaks volumes. They've formed a lovely bond with all the staff and children.
