Review of Busy Bees Ipswich Pinewood from Lois T (Mother of Child) published on 12 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Busy bees pinewood has been a breath of fresh air, as a nervous first time mum, dropping my little 10 month boy off at nursery was one of the most daunting things I've ever had to do but because of the friendly and amazing staff I was put at ease straight away. My little one come on leaps and bounds pretty much instantly and he has learnt so much and I do believe this is because of nursery. I am so so glad we made the choice to choose Busy Bees Pinewood as his nursery, we would be lost without the continued support and guidance they give us as parents. Thank you all so much!

Review of Busy Bees Ipswich Pinewood from Lucy H (Mother of Child) published on 11 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Busy bees Pinewood has felt like an extended family from the moment our daughter begun during the pandemic, the wonderful staff made us feel valued and our children safe. Our daughter flourished and it then helped with when she then began school and it came from the knowledge gained whilst with the team. Our son then began and he felt at ease because of seeing his sister going in it's a place of fun, education, love , kindness. We have so much care for the team and how they treat the children as if they were their own which makes going to work so much easier. Busy bees Pinewood are professional and respectful to parents. I wouldn't send our children anywhere else. They really do feel like an extension of the family !

Review of Busy Bees West Suffolk Hospital from M A (Father of Child) published on 21 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Busy Bees has been a fantastic nursery for our family. We have already had one child go through the nursery and now our second child attends, and our experience has been consistently excellent.
The staff are amazing!!! kind, caring, professional and always welcoming. The girls are always happy to have a chat with me, whether it is about how my child's day has been, any little updates, or just to offer reassurance. That personal approach makes such a difference as a parent.
The nursery provides a safe, secure and happy environment where children are clearly well cared for. The communication is great, including regular updates through the app, and the activities and learning opportunities are always varied and engaging. The food also seems good (yet more meat options could be provided).

I have no hesitation in recommending Busy Bees to other parents. 5 stars!

Overall Experience
We've had a really positive experience with this nursery. Everyone is really helpful and kind, and it's clear the staff have a lot of knowledge and experience when it comes to supporting young children's development. They create a warm, welcoming environment where children feel safe and encouraged to learn and explore.

Communication with parents is great, and we always feel kept informed about our child's progress and daily activities. It's reassuring to know our child is in such capable and caring hands. We would definitely recommend this nursery to other families.

Review of Busy Bees Ipswich Pinewood from Fleur D (Mother of Child) published on 15 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We couldn't be happier with the care our son received at Busy Bees at Pinewood. From the very beginning, the team have been absolutely amazing-kind, attentive, and genuinely invested in the children they look after.
He has grown so much in confidence since attending, and it's clear how much effort the staff put into creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment. Every day he comes home happy, and that gives us so much reassurance as parents.
The communication has also been excellent-we're always kept informed about his day, his progress, and any little milestones, which means a lot to us.

We're incredibly grateful for all the care, patience, and support the team have shown. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Busy Bees at Pinewood to any parent looking for a caring and supportive nursery!

Review of Busy Bees Ipswich Pinewood from E J (Mother of Child) published on 17 April 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We are always welcomed in the morning at drop off and in the evening at pick up. Always updated on our child's day on what they have been up to, what they have learnt and what they've been eating. The staff are always very welcoming and informative. Not only that but are very cooperative with my child's current skin medical condition which helps immensely when hes attending nursery.

I have seen a massive improvement in my child's learning and social skills both at home and nursery and appreciate the support nursery have given to improve our child's learning and development. I feel comfortable having my child attend this establishment whilst doing a full day at work knowing they are having lots of fun whilst learning as well as playing with friends. The nursery and Staff are brilliant and the establishment is well maintained to an exceptional standard.

Review of Busy Bees West Suffolk Hospital from Laura G (Mother of Child) published on 24 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Busy Bees has been brilliant ever since our son Henry started there 6 months ago and I would recommend this nursery!
The staff are all so friendly and the children are often engaged in fun activities. Special appreciation for the 10/10 effort for Halloween messy play!!
Henry is always well fed, and enjoying different toys and activities- so much so, he sometimes doesn't seem to want to leave!! The picture updates are so lovely and both keyworkers he has had, Amber and Amy have been amazing. I couldn't ask for more and it's a joy to see how nursery is helping his development.

A big thank you to management, key workers, apprentices, chefs, all in B1 and B2 (and everyone in between) - keep doing what you're doing x

Review of Busy Bees West Suffolk Hospital from Filipa F (Mother of Child) published on 23 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our daughter goes to Busy Bees Bury St Edmunds since she was 1 year old. She is now 3 and we still love it! Have gone through all different rooms and had the privilege to meet most of the staff, and we can confidently say we are truly happy with the care provided! Everyone is so caring and welcoming, supportive of her needs and also supportive to us parents, giving us reassurance that she is in a safe place while we are at work.
The facilities are good and always clean!
She also loves the food! We appreciate the effort in trying to make the children's meals healthy and tasty at the same time!
Our youngest daughter will soon start to go to Busy bees as well and we couldn't

be more thrilled. 100% recommend this nursery!

Overall Experience
The team at Busy Bees are great! Our little boy has been attending since August 2024 and we have nothing but praise for them all. Our son always enjoys his time at nursery and is always welcomed with happy, smiley faces from the staff.

We cannot fault how well looked after he is, and we feel very well supported by the whole team. We know our little boy is in safe hands, and we are so thankful.

Overall Experience
Over the last 4 years I have had a great experience at busy bees. My son absolutely loves it.
The staff are always so friendly, kind and welcoming. Emma and Laura seem to know all the children's names which always amazes me.
If I have had an issue and raised it, it's been dealt with in a timely manner and improvements made.

I am really sad that this is our last few months at busy bees and have nothing but good things to say and a very positive experience.

Review of Busy Bees Ipswich Pinewood from Steven R (Father of Child) published on 2 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Since my daughter started at the nursery when she was 9 months old she has loved attending, the staff are always welcoming, the staff in the room are always happy and welcoming even at 7.30am.
The updates throughout the day keep both myself and my wife including in what our daughter is up to.
My daughter loves going to nursery, when I say to her in the morning we are off to nursery she instantly smiles and starts calling for her keyworkers.
" Ellie where are you, Izzy where are you"
The team of Ellie, Izzy and Lucie in her current room are amazing and a credit to your team.
My daughter is developing really well, and I can honestly say this is down to the staff at nursery.
When we had issues due to certain types of food the management team and chef were quick to help us come up with alternative food options.
This relates to Pinewood, Ipswich.
Would 100% recommend this nursery to anyone.

Thanks for everything you do for our family.

Review of Busy Bees Ipswich Pinewood from Polly-Louise L (Mother of Child) published on 2 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We couldn't be happier with the care our children receive at Pinewood Ipswich. The progress we've seen in their confidence, social skills, communication, and independence has been amazing.
The staff build strong, caring relationships with each child, helping them feel secure and happy every day. Communication is excellent at drop-off, pick-up, and throughout the day, keeping us informed and involved.
We also love how parents and carers are invited to special events like Mother's Day and Christmas, making families feel included.

We are so grateful for the nursery's positive impact and highly recommend them!

Review of Busy Bees Stowmarket from Laura A (Mother of Child) published on 23 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My little girl has been attending since April 2025, she absolutely loves the nursery. All the staff are super friendly and update me on my little ones day. They are super good with updating the app so I can see what my child is up to / what she is eating.
The office staff are lovely and super helpful if you have any queries.
They have lots of space and brilliant outdoor space.
My little one gets so excited when she knows she is going to nursery. We love busy bees and would recommend to any parents.

The fact they have such a big waiting list speaks for itself, they are super! We are on the waiting list for 2027 for baby number 2 already.

Overall Experience
My two children have attended Busy Bees over the past 4 years and we have been so pleased with their provision. The staff are caring and really get to know the children, supporting their individual interests. We particularly like the wide variety of foods offered though the nursery menu.

The children spend lots of time outside which both of my children have loved.

Review of Busy Bees Stowmarket from A S (Mother of Child) published on 20 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I've had two children in the nursery now my eldest left in the summer and youngest is now in the baby room and to date we have loved this nursery. The staff are amazing and so kind! Both children settled in quick and haven't had any issues. Staff are quick to let us know if our child has had an accident or feeling unwell. Both children love attending the nursery and my eldest is always asking if he can go back to see his 'teachers' as he misses them.

I'll always recommend Busy Bees to family and friends and I feel my children are safe and happy being left here.

Review of Busy Bees Stowmarket from Kirsty C (Mother of Child) published on 20 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I would highly recommend busy bees! All of the staff have been so welcoming and lovely to us, even those that do not work closely with my little one, we always get a smile and a hello from everyone we see.
Starting nursery was tricky for us as we were in and out of hospital for the first year from birth due to health issues at the time but staff made us feel safe when leaving our son in their care, always in contact and updating each other, staff will always welcome a conversation on collection and drop off and you never feel rushed to get out of their way when you are in their setting. The nursery is very clean and spacious. Their food choices are brilliant (sometimes wish I had their menu choice for myself!).
We have always been happy with how we have been able to keep the same routine for our boy when he is at nursery, especially when he was under 1 years old, bottle times and nap times were always mirrored to the routine we had at home.

Very happy with the care our boy receives!

Review of Busy Bees Stowmarket from Danielle M (Mother of Child) published on 20 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our daughter has been attending Stowmarket Busy Bees Nursery since September 2024.
She has been in two different rooms during her time at nursery, and in both her previous room and her current one, the staff have been absolutely wonderful. We completely trust them and feel confident that they make the right judgement calls, especially if our daughter is unwell.
The nursery provides a fantastic variety of meals, and it's so reassuring to know she's being encouraged to try lots of different foods. It's lovely to see how many staff members have been there long-term - it says so much about the nursery.

Kim, the manager, is amazing. If any issues arise, she takes them seriously, makes sure we feel heard as parents, and acts immediately. All of the staff are incredibly friendly, and every time we're at nursery, anyone we pass says hello - it's such a welcoming environment and makes it easy to get to know everyone. A special mention to Holly, Kelly, Caitlin's (x2), Katie, Gemma & Dani

Review of Busy Bees Stowmarket from L C (Mother of Child) published on 20 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son is in his last year at Busy Bees before he starts school and he has absolutely loved and thrived in every room he's been in. He's built fantastic relationships with staff, they are warm and caring and go above and beyond to make him feel happy and confident.

Hand overs are great, we really get to know what he's been up to during the day and it's lovely to be able to continue talking about this at home. Activities are always varied, from reading, songs and arts and crafts, and so much thought goes into them, including linking them to particular national themes, like fire safety day. We really feel that he is school ready and Busy Bees has played a huge part in that. Office staff are always so friendly and helpful and make parents and children feel welcomed from the minute they buzz you through the door. Our second son starts Busy Bees soon and we know he will be so well cared for and love it there too.

Review of Busy Bees Ipswich Rushmere from V B (Mother of Child) published on 11 November 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been here for almost a year now. The staff are all amazing. So caring and encouraging. I'm able to drop my son in his designated from and the same for collection. I get to see how he settles and I can sneak in for collection and see him in the mist of playing. My son loves being outside, they cater for this with outside play during most weather conditions. Splashing in puddles is even on the agenda. He's adapted to room changes well. Meals are provided however tea is more a snack for my son therefore I also give him tea with us. They provide everything down to nappies if you so wish. The opening and closing times fit well with my job allowing me to do both drops off and pick ups. If I have any issues or concerns I'm always listened to and taken seriously.
