My daughter, who is 2, loves going to Busy Bees and has been with them since she was 9 months old. The under 2 provision was warm, welcoming and always filled with fun activities. The settling in sessions were a big help and the transition to the over 2s was carefully planned and set at the pace my
daughter was happy with.
Now she is in the 2 to 3 rooms and always goes in happy and is welcomed by all staff; who always ask how she is and if there are any updates they need to be aware of.
The updates on the app throughout the day really help to see what she is eating, if she's slept and the developmental milestones she is meeting. I love getting photos of her playing with her friends and seeing what new skills she has learnt.
All staff are committed to ensuring that the children are safe and it is reassuring to know that there is a clear plan for safeguarding in place.
100% would recommend Hatch Warren Busy Bees!

Absolutely an amazing settling, the staff go above and beyond for the children and it is evident with the relationship their build with the children. My boy is 8 months and the baby staff are fantastic, his key worker is amazing and has settled him into nursery so well. He is so loved by the team. Best
nursery in Farnborough!

This nursery is truly exceptional, and I'm so glad I chose it for my son. Since attending, he has thrived, with noticeable improvements in his confidence and social skills. The staff are not only kind and accommodating but also incredibly welcoming and supportive of both me and my child. They use an
app, which allows parents to stay updated on nappies, meals, and activities - a fantastic feature. The management team is equally wonderful, always approachable and attentive. Even after moving out of the area, I've chosen to keep my son at this Busy Bees Farnborough IQ because of the outstanding care they provide.

This is a wonderful nursery, with an amazing team - I'm always so impressed when all of them (even the people who don't work in his room!) know my son's name since he started. He's been coming here since he turned 1 and it didn't take him long to settle in. He loves coming here and his development has
definitely been improved by it. They do all sorts of activities that we can't do at home, plus the kids get time outdoors every day. The food seems very good and from his first month he's napped much better at nursery than he does at home! We get lots of updates and photos on the app and it always looks like he's having a great time. Would definitely recommend this nursery

Our daughter absolutely loves going to Busy Bees Farnborough IQ, she's thrived in Bombos 1 (baby room) and we can't wait to see that continue in Bombos 2.
Thank you for all the staff support to create an engaging, supportive, and enjoyable setting for our little ones.

We've been sending our children to Busy Bees for two years and they are absolutely thriving under the care of the brilliant team! It's clear that each key carer is passionate about supporting young children, we receive regular updates on the app, detailed handovers at the end of the day and lots of
opportunities to work together in providing the best experiences for our kids.

My son has been going to Busy Bees in Sutton Scotney for the last four years. He has ASD but we didn't know that when he joined. This nursery has been utterly amazing and it is really hard to find the words to say how much I recommend them. Even though my child can be challenging sometimes, they've
never flinched and worked with us every step of the way.
Day-to-day, the children have a great time and both my children are always excited to go to nursery. The staff all communicate well with parents and they handle difficult situations (like Covid) very well.
The care, love and support they've given, not only to my child but also to us, is truly incredible. They are like a second family to my son.

My daughter has just finished nursery here. We went through a change of ownership, staffing changes, the works. One thing has remained consistent throughout. The dedication and commitment of the staff. Concerns have always been dealt with with speed and care.
Our daughter was premature and has a neurological
Our daughter was premature and has a neurological
condition, the nursery supported us well. Their preschool room is currently run by someone who has a background of very recently working as a teacher in reception. I firmly believe this has led to the children being in a strong position to start school next week compared to peers in other settings. Every nursery is different, make your own choices, don't believe everything on social media.
Our daughter always looked forward to nursery and cried tonight on the way home because she wouldn't see her key worker again.

Staff are extremly friendly and helpful, safeguarding is excellent and my child has settled in brilliantly. The activities and food are excellent and varied and I do not worry about leaving him. The only room for improvement could be updating the app as it does not always state everything, e.g. I will
be told he has drunk his bottle but is not on the app.

My daughter has only been there for 3 months (including the 8-week notice period) There is no communication between staff members and the manager or between the nursery and parents. In one incident the manager was really unprofessional, rude, and just couldn't care less about me as a parent.

I really couldn't fault the baby room at all, from the get go the room leader was lovely and welcoming, she introduced us to everyone within the room and showed us around and explained what apps could be downloaded for us as parents. We're regularly kept updated with pictures, sleep and food within
one of the apps and our child loves all the messy play the team creates. Thank you to the staff and an extra thank you to one staff member in particular for answering all of our silly questions initially and helping our child to transition into nursery. Fabulous team really couldn't fault them.
