I have had both my kids here and the staff is amazing , the rooms are amazing , the cook is really good too(i have a fussy eater and he eats nearly everything every day he attends). Not any faults at all to point out. There couldnt be anyone bettet than the centre director to do the position she is
doing . My first son that went here absoloutly loved everything about it and after a bad experience in another nursery with my second son , I finally can leave him at this nursery knowing he is happy as he literally runs in the room when we get to the door. So well done to all the staff for there hard work in this nursery.

I have not had much input to new mgmt since new director took over.
I am delighted with the service at the nursery. I believe they could maybe update resources for activities, but that comes from funding. I also think the children could maybe be out more/more activities each day as some kids are not

I have two sons ages 5 and 19 months who currently attend Busy Bees in Gorebridge. I have always been happy with the level of care the nursery has provided for them. The staff are friendly and good at building good relationships with the children and parents which I think is beneficial. However since
the nursery has been taken over at the beginning of 2025 I've noticed things have started to change. Previously I remember the children will get taken out to the local parks (I remember this happend a lot when my eldest son was 2 and up) I've questioned this recently to which I was advised that this has stopped due to the ratio teacher to children. I had previously asked would the garden school on Fridays ever get changed to a different day accommodate children who didn't attend then as I think outdoor learning is a fantastic opportunity however this has never happened.
The menu that the chef provides is fantastic for the children offering a great variety.

We love Busy Bees Newbyres for our child and they love going! They climb out of our arms to get to their key worker in the morning. The staff always think of really fun ways to engage the kids with learning and development, sending updates for us to see. We have nothing bad to say about Busy Bees. The
staff are always friendly and welcoming and we've never felt anything but happy with the care they give our child.

Couldn't be happier with this nursery. My daughter has came on so well from talking to learning other things. The staff are brilliant all lovely and easy to talk to and make taking my daughter into nursery so much easier for me. I cannot fault this nursery at all. I'm so happy I placed my daughter into

Overall positive experience with the nursery, children well looked after, opportunities for learning and development and good relationship between children and staff. Staff friendly and helpful and responsive. The menu and quality of food is a fave in our household! Forest school and bumble bee sports
is also a big advantage.
For feedback, I would like to see more activities within the community and more outdoor play. I also find on certain days there could be more updates on the days activities. An investment in the building and garden would be beneficial to encourage more outdoor play.

My daughter has been at Hopefield since she was 2yrs old. She loves going to nursery and the staff have been wonderful. She has so much fun every day and the variety of food she gets is fantastic. I know she will miss everyone including her besties as she leaves for school this year, but I have doubts
BB Hopefield have prepared her as best they can for this transition. Thank you so much for all you've done for my little lady
