Busy Bees Toton has been an absolute dream for us! My little one started here in Feb 2023 and she is now due to start school in September. That's more than 3 years! The people here are kind, professional, warm, and they make the children feel at home instead of just going to a childcare provider. Thank
you for all the great work you've done! Parenting has been a breeze with the values you've been reinforcing and all the fun activities you organise for their entertainment.

We've had such a positive experience with this nursery and feel very grateful for the care and support our child receives. The staff have built a lovely rapport with them, and it's clear they take the time to get to know each child as an individual. It's wonderful to see the strong relationships our
child has formed with several members of the team, which gives us real reassurance as parents. Communication is always professional, open, and supportive, and any questions are handled thoughtfully and proactively. The facilities are fantastic, and the outdoor area in particular is a brilliant space where children can explore, play, and enjoy themselves. We've been especially grateful for the recent support with potty training and weaning off the dummy. The patience, encouragement, and consistency from the staff have made the process much easier for both us and our child. Overall, we're incredibly thankful for the warm, caring environment the team creates and the dedication they show.

Both our boys love busy bees, they smile when they run in.
When we arrived to look around in 2023 we knew it was where our LO would thrive. Fiona is a great manager, she's only ever a phone call away and it was her who sold us busy bees as a place for him to go. Her kindness, knowledge and enthusiasm
for the place as well as someone from an office actually knowing the kids when she welcomes us in the morning is exceptional.
We have been lucky that from his first room to his third his key worker has transitioned with him which has been fab. And now she's with our other LO which has been amazing for us as parents as we know how she cares.
While at busy bees both our little ones have learnt so much. Not only academically but also emotionally and physically. Thanks to the continued nurturing and structure they receive here.
All the staff are friendly and are helpful with advice if we need it to help guide our boys and the updates we get throughout the day puts our mind at ease! Amazing!

We've been at busy bees since November 2023 and have had two children move through babies to pre school. We couldn't recommend busy bees enough, the staff are kind and loving towards the children and have a great understanding of child development and how the activities help this. Comminucation has
also been clear and consistent and concerns are heard and addressed.

Our almost 3 year old has attended this nursery since he was 1. He has undoubtedly learnt so much from this nursery from nursery songs, numbers, days of the week, ABC's, manners, playtime skills and how to shop on days out. The staff are absolutely fantastic. They listen to any concerns with consideration
and they really show great care towards their children. They keep you updated on the app every day with photos and tell you all about their day including what your child has had to eat throughout each day. They always contact you by telephone should they need to discuss anything with you including tumbles or falls. They're always looking at ways to introduce new activities and themed events into the nursery and on some occasions, they invite parents along to take part. I would absolutely rate this nursery 10/10 - the whole team are fantastic and we couldn't have wished for a better nursery for our son, who have given him the best start to social skills and education.

We've been attending since September and we love it! Staff are so friendly and lovely with little one. Love that we get updates from the app and love seeing photos throughout the day of what they've been getting up to. Handovers are always personal and I never feel like I'm being rushed. Never make
me feel silly for questions I ask either which is lovely as a FTM!
Little one absolutely loves each of the staff and I'm so happy that with every week that passes drop offs are easier and we just walk straight in to smiles!
Thank you so much!

Both of my children have attended Busy Bees, and our experience has been incredibly positive.
My eldest settled in after just one session and loved every minute. Even now, they still ask about the staff and get excited when we go to pick up their younger siblings, which really shows the lasting impression
the team have made.
My youngest was the definition of "velcro baby". She found drop off very difficult and would often cry for much of the day. It took time for her to settle, but the staff were so patient, calm and reassuring. Thanks to their perseverance and genuinely caring approach, she now toddles in happily without any tears and truly enjoys her days there - something I never thought id see!
I would absolutely recommend Busy Bees to any parent looking for a warm, welcoming nursery where you can feel confident your children are safe, supported and genuinely cared for.

I have used the nursery with both my children and have always felt comfortable that my child would be well looked after, I get updates of what she is doing during the day with lovely photos. My daughter absolutely loves the staff and has formed close bonds with a number of the team I can't rate them
highly enough they always go above and beyond to provide a caring, educational and supportive environment. Thankyou

My son has been attending since 2023, he was 6 months old, from day one I had regular updates and pictures and I didn't feel like I missed a thing, it was so reassuring to see from the beginning how much milk he was drinking and through weaning it was fantastic the variety of foods the nursery tried
with him, and to see how much he ate! He's now a brilliant eater. Shortly after starting nursery he had quite a big operation and again the nursery were so supportive before and in the after care, and through it all supporting and working with me through his difficult speech journey. The feedback and support all his key workers have given really makes me feel that I'm not alone in this maze of a journey bringing him up, they say it takes a village....well Busybees and all the staff have been my own little village and I believe detrimental in the cultivating of this confident, robust and now, very chatty little toddler.

My son attends busy bees in clipstone and loves it! He always gets excited when I get him out of the car at drop off. The staff are so helpful and very attentive.
You are always greeted with a smile and nothing is too much trouble. My son loves his key worker and I can see how much he has come on since
attending busy bees.
Parents are kept up to date through out the day via the app and it's so lovely to see what he is getting up to while he's not with me.
My daughter also attended before starting full time school and she still talks fondly of what she used to get up to at nursery.

We're really enjoying Busy Bee's, the staff are so wonderful with our daughter. She's learnt so much being there and absolutely loves it. I love how updated we are throughout the day with the app, which is so easy to use. We're really assured she's cared for, entertained and most importantly, happy.

My daughter has attended the nursery since September 2025. The staff at the nursery have been very friendly. My daughter enjoys attending the nursery and is eager to get in the car to go.
The app is great for communicating with the nursery and seeing when your child has been changed, fed and when they
are sleeping.
The food provided is healthy and the nursery has been great accommodating my daughter's CMPA.
Overall, we would recommend this nursery.

I have always been extremely pleased with Busy Bees. My little girl is currently 3 and has been attending since she was just 4 months old. From the baby room through to moving onto the lower floor, all the staff have consistently shown such kindness and genuine care towards my daughter.
Nothing is
ever too much trouble, and they always put me at ease. On the occasions my child has arrived upset and clinging to me, the staff have contacted me later with a photo of her happy and settled - not because I asked, but simply because they care and understand how reassuring that is for parents. That really means a lot.
All of the staff are friendly, approachable, and chatty, which creates such a welcoming environment.
My older daughter also attended Busy Bees from being a baby right through until she left for school, and we were always so happy with her time there too. I truly couldn't recommend Busy Bees highly enough.

Our daughter has developed fantastically here, she truly enjoys spending time with her friends and the team in her room. The team at the nursery always keep you in the loop with their activity planning, what they are working on, how they are eating / potty training which gives you that peace of mind
and helps you work on skills at home. They often plan trips down to the park or more recently the library which just recommends them more.
Our daughter is excited to attend every day and I can't recommend them enough.

During my child's time at the nursery she has made amazing bonds with key workers. Transitions to different rooms are done with ease and the children are familiar with all key workers. My childs key workers communicate efficiently with us and communicate with us the learning they have done and the learning
they are starting. This is evidenced through photos of the children taking part in activities and photographs/links to curriculum and other resources. I'm very happy that my child attends this nursery. It has been the perfect place for my child to flourish.
