Day Nurseries Owned by Busy Bees Nurseries Ltd in South Gloucestershire

Our experience with this nursery was awful. My child went from being happy to attend to absolutely dreading it. Mornings became a battle trying to convince them to go only for us to then be turned away at the door. Communication was appalling. I would be told one thing face to face and then something completely different on the app. Information constantly conflicted depending on which member of staff I spoke to and eventually I had no idea what to believe. I completely lost trust in both the staff and management. I had serious concerns around behaviour, how incidents were handled and what I felt was a careless and dismissive attitude when concerns were raised. The manager leaving during our time there only added to my lack of confidence in how the nursery was being run. Leaving your child at nursery requires so much trust and I had none left. Moving my child was absolutely the best decision and the difference since leaving speaks volumes. My only regret is not doing it sooner

Nursery has turned us away at the door 2 days this week because they didn't have enough staff to open the pre school. The shut in the heat wave because they don't have air con (with no notice being given to us) and the have just been given a poor Ofsted in relation to safeguarding! Iv pulled my son out, but this is honestly just the tip of the iceberg of things going very wrong in this setting!

The only downside is that we wait in the foyer and not be able to go into the rooms to collect your child (which I notice in other nurseries you can collect in the child's room)

Busy bees Bradley Stoke is exceptional. My child absoloutely loves everyone who works here. He is always well fed and has variety in his day and has made really good friends. We love hearing his story's from his days. Couldn't recommend enough

We couldn't be happier with Busy Bees Bradley Stoke Nursery. The staff truly go above and beyond, and we've found the whole team-management, kitchen, and childcare staff-to be excellent.

They've taken great care to follow our child's specific sleep routine and food preferences, which we really appreciate. Most importantly, our child is very happy there and has made fantastic developmental progress.

It's a well-run, supportive environment, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

Busy Bees Bradley Stoke is such a wonderful nursery. The staff are all incredible and have looked after our daughter so well. I've not had any concerns for the year she's been in the baby room. The facilities are great and their communication is fantastic.

Thank you so much!

We love this nursery! The staff is phenomenal and does such a great job nurturing all of the kids. Our oldest has recently moved on to reception but still comes to collect his younger sibling and they all still make him feel so special and like a mini-celebrity! Our youngest adores all of his room staff and is always happy to go - the outdoor space is particularly great for him as he loves to be outdoors and the staff are happy to accommodate this. We moved further from nursery and elected to keep him at this nursery as nothing compared. Communication is well done and timely, management is truly excellent. We'll be sad when it's time to leave.

She has been really happy here and loved all the staff. We have seen so much progression each week, especially during preschool in preparation for starting reception. She will miss the nursery and the staff lots!

Nursery has done wonders for my daughter and to see her progression over these years has been amazing. I wouldn't doubt to recommend to friends or family and my son will be starting next week.

My little one has been attending this nursery since 10 months old and she is 4 years old now. All these years she had attended them full time and every single day in these years she had been looking forward to going which says a lot about how she loves the place and how well the staff take care of them. The staff are very friendly and each group have their own indoor spaces. The staff give us a lot of information about how they went about in the day when we pick them up at end of the day. Besides we get to see a lot of pictures from adult-led activities or role plays that the kids had done throughout the day. The nursery has a big enough garden with spaces segregated for different age groups with fencing to protect them. I would strongly recommend anyone looking for a nursery around Bradley Stoke and Patchway to make a visit to see for yourself.

We have 2 girls in Busy Bees Bradley Stoke and I am so glad they have the chance to attend such a mindful setting. The staff are really helpful, teach them kind and mindful behaviour while always being patient and explaining things, they are so talented, and also always come up with loads of activities to help them develop. I am so impressed by everything the girls learn there, behaviour as well as skills, and they always run there without even pausing to say goodbye hahaha!

I would highly recommend Busy Bees Bradley Stoke!

This nursery is fantastic! The facilities are excellent and the staff are amazing. Our son has developed so much over the past couple of years thanks to the hard work and caring attitudes of the nursery teachers, the brilliant chef and the wonderful head of the nursery. All of the staff at Busy Bees Barrs Court interact with our son and he speaks so highly of all of them. I know he will miss them as he heads off to school next month but he will remember them very fondly, as we do.

A fantastic nursery with dynamic and caring staff, wonderfully interactive and fun activities and a lovely environment for the children to play. My daughter has been so happy here and I can only hope her school experience is to the same high standard.

My son has been full-time at Busy Bees since last year. Initially, there were some shortage of staff issues but overall our experience is good. They provide very good care and make my child feel very comfortable. They provide extra support with learning too.

All the ladies at this nursery are wonderful. They always give me a lovely update of how the day has been when I pick my daughter up and after a few weeks of tears dropping her off she now loves it and gets so excited when I mention their names and she sees the bee on the entrance sign! The app is so useful too as you get regular updates on meals, nappy changes, photos and mini progress reports. She always has lovely lunches and a healthy morning snack and there is lots to do there. She always comes home in a good mood and ready for a nap from all the playing. Would recommend to anyone.

We love this nursery! A fresh and clean environment with toys and resources to keep my son happy, entertained, engaged and developing. The girls are all amazing! My son's key workers are truly awesome and make him feel so special, welcome and loved, but even the girls who work in other rooms make a fuss of him and his face lights up when he sees any of them. We are moving next month and so have to change nursery and we are genuinely saddened about this. From day dot, our little boy (who started at 6 months old) was so settled with minimal upset and separation and this is 100% down to the team at Busy Bees! The bar has been set very high for where we end up moving to. Thank you.

My son has been going to Busy Bees, Stoke Gifford, since he was 11 months old. He loves going and now tells me (now aged 2) how the staff are his friends. They are all very caring and he has lots of fun. He enjoys the food. We get lots of information on the app with photos and reviews of his development.

I have two children at Busy Bees in Stoke Gifford. Both started aged five months and my daughter is currently in the preschool class, having gone right the way through. We have been more than satisfied with the quality of care given, as well as the extent to which our little ones have been encouraged and supported to learn and grow. Any queries, problems or questions have been immediately dealt with by the manager. The staff really care about the children they look after and my children go happily into nursery every morning. The nursery has followed all the guidelines through the Covid-19 pandemic and we have felt confident that our children were safe. I'd like to thank everyone at Busy Bees in Stoke Gifford for their hard work.
