My daughter has been attending since September 2023. All staff are friendly & go above & beyond for the children. My daughter has been on the SEND pathway since just before age 2, I couldn't of got enough help from the nursery, supporting all the way leading to my daughter diagnosis. Adapt to her needs
and support as necessary. My daughter loves coming to nursery and I'm at ease when she is.

The nursery is so welcoming! The staff go above and beyond. They care about each child and treat each one as a person with certain likes & dislikes. They use the gentle parenting method, there is no shouting or arguing in the room, every child is so friendly & loving. They have done wonders for my grandson.

I am very happy with this nursery and highly recommend it. All the staff are caring and professional. My child's key worker understands her well and provides constant feedback, helping us continue her learning at home. The nursery supported us very well during potty training and encouraged eating by
introducing a variety of nutritious foods. There is a good balance between indoor and outdoor activities depending on the weather. The nursery is clean, and management keeps us well informed with email. There is a new app that is great for regular updates on children's development.

We absolutely love Busy Bees Bure Park for both our boys! Our eldest is in pre school and our youngest is in toddlers and they learn so much and are so happy to be there everyday. We cannot thank the staff enough, especially their key workers Josh and Wendy. The staff are all so amazing and our children
talk about all the things they learn and it is amazing to see how far they have come since being here! The nursery is so well managed and we cannot fault them!

We are so happy with the care our child receives at Busy Bees Bicester. The staff are incredibly warm, affectionate, and truly dedicated to the children's well-being. It is a home away from home, and I never doubt how well-loved and safe my little one feels.
The whole Team goes above and beyond, providing
a stimulating, creative, and educational environment. My child has made huge strides in their development, particularly with independence. The daily updates and photos via their app keep us so involved in their learning journey and I find this reassuring.
They always take the time to chat about our child's day and I really enjoy hearing all the little anecdotes.
I highly recommend them to any parent!
Thank you.

All of the staff at Busy Bees Bicester are very friendly and show a real genuine care for our daughter. They also really celebrate the milestones that she achieves. We always get very good handovers on pick up, so we know what she has been up to. The food is very good and they always have a wide range

The staff is always smiley and caring. They always take the time to tell you about your child's day telling about all the cute/funny things that happened during the day.
They are also very careful in not getting the children dirty which is a great help at the end of the day!

The nursery location is just beautiful! The nursery is close to the woodlands and my children really enjoys exploring the woods with his friends. The gardens are huge and they spend a lot of time outside, the staff are very friendly and always willing to help.

My daughter has been going to Busy Bees at Bure Park since she was 1 (now 4). The team is great, they really do care about the safety, happiness and well-being of each child and have offered me the peace of mind that I needed as a first-time mum. My daughter has thrived during her time with Busy Bees
and I would not hesitate to recommend the nursery to all parents.

I adore this Nursery! My daughter has been coming to Ardington for around a year. The preschool is fantastic with her. She struggles with attachment and they have been so supportive and patient with her. The managment and her team are amazing. Communication with Ardington is top! The office staff and
management are kind and caring and I never feel like I'm putting them out or bothering them. They always welcome us in with a smile. Dream team and my little one is so happy.

My daughter has attended Busy Bees Bicester since she was 15 months old (now 4). I chose this nursery because it was warm and welcoming and I have never once regretted my decision. As my daughter has moved up through the rooms, the staff have gone out of their way to make sure that she is well settled
and looked after. She is now thriving and loves to come in, in fact yesterday she told me upon collection that she didn't want to come home! I am sad that we will be leaving in order for my daughter to start school, and we will miss the staff and nursery greatly.

As a mother, I am incredibly impressed with this nursery. My child feels safe, engaged, and constantly stimulated here. The staff are nurturing and attentive, creating an environment that fosters both security and growth. I highly recommend this nursery for its outstanding care and commitment to child
development.
If I have any questions, the staff are quick to address and answer. The food menu offered is varied and nutritious. My child has an amazing bond not only with her key person, but with all the staff in her room. Within a week of attending full time, there was no fuss or tears handing her over at the door. My child started the nursery at 9 months old and the past 6 months there were just what she needed to be stimulated and learn social skills with a range of children and adults. I trust the staff judgement 100% and am wholly happy with my child’s care at Busy Bees Bicester.

Both our kids have been attending Busy Bees Bicester for a year, in baby room and preschool. They have been thriving due to the excellent care they receive from the attentive staff. They are happy at drop off and pick up, meaning they enjoy their time there! Both kids are engaged in a variety of activities,
especially at preschool, the teachers set up something new every day to spark their imagination and introduce new ideas/values/knowledge. The outside space is limited, however kids enjoy playing outside and we quite like the fact that it's shady in summer months, so they can enjoy being outside for longer. The food is always good, both kids enjoy the varied menu (more at nursery than at home, that tells you something!) and have picked up very good dining skills at nursery. We receive frequent updates from the teaching staff, very sweet photos of the kids going about their day and we get a detailed description of their day at pick up. Overall we recommend the nursery very strongly.

Busy Bees at Bure Park Bicester is a lovely and homely nursery with great professionals who take excellent care of our precious children. I had to go back to work when my baby was 11 months and they helped make the transition as smooth as possible for our family. My girl has thrived and even made her
first steps there, she loves going there, loves the staff and loves the food and games they play. She has learnt so much I am absolutely adoring seeing her so happy when I walk her in the morning and when I pick her up. The nursery is open 7:30 for breakfast club and then from 8:00 until 18:00 which is perfect for commuting working parents. It’s a very nurturing nursery. The meals are always a great variety and include fruits. The kids sing many songs and play in the garden daily.
A huge shoutout to the manager and staff who have transformed the nursery in the past months to a very welcoming and bright environment full of exciting activities and special days where parents can also join in.
