Review from Lucy A (Mother of Child) published on 30 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The staff at Busy Bees are warm, welcoming and very friendly. They made our transition back to work so much easier to know our son was in the best care possible. He has now been there for an academic year and has made such incredible overall developmental progress. We are so pleased we chose Busy Bees, thank you all for everything you do.

Review from R S (Mother of Child) published on 25 November 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Both of our children have had wonderful experiences at Busy Bees Farringtons over the last few years. From the moment you walk into the building you are welcomed with warmth, a smile and a genuine 'how are you?', aimed, importantly, to the children first.
We feel part of the family there and our children have grown hugely in confidence and independence. The care and support offered to them are brilliant and I see how much they gain from the activities, friendships, learning and play they experience.

There is a conscious effort felt to provide the best for the children and make their nursery and preschool time fun and rewarding. As a parent, I feel listened to when I have a concern and supported when we've needed additional help. Thank you to the team.

Review from Jana H (Mother of Child) published on 4 August 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The staff are lovely and know who I am when I show up to collect my baby (even with my face mask, I don’t think many of them have even seen my face!), they know my baby’s name and I can tell she likes going there and has created a strong bond with her carers. They treat her as though she was their own and you can tell they care for all the children that attend. The introduction and settling in sessions were also great for me and reassuring. Furthermore, they’ve been great throughout the covid pandemic, the measures they have in place have made me feel comfortable and at ease, about my baby going there as I know she’ll be safe.

Review from Arundhati (Mother of Child) published on 27 November 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been going here since she was 8 months old. I was offered adequate settling-in sessions. Encouraged to call up if I felt I needed to do so. After the initial difficult week, she now loves being at nursery. She eats well and is well taken care of. They serve a variety of meals I'd have never managed and engage her in ways I wouldn't ever think of! I am very happy with the manager and the rest of the team who know the name of each baby! The location is easy to get to and there are always parking spots available which is a plus.

Overall Experience

Our son really enjoys his time at Busy Beest at Farringtons. They do a wide range of activities, both inside and out and we've really seen his development increase since returning from lockdown. The facilities are to a high standard and the food is varied and nutritious. The staff are fabulous (agreed by both child and parents!) and their communication has been clear and consistent. We've been particularly grateful for their assistance with potty training!

My daughter has been at Busy Bees at Farringtons since six months of age. She is now three plus. We have seen her grow up to be a confident, loving and happy child. I will never hesitate to recommend Busy Bees to my friends. The whole team is so friendly. The management is excellent. Everybody knows your child and the whole environment is just excellent.

Review from Natalie J (Mother of Child) published on 30 September 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our 2.5-year-old has attended Busy Bees at Farringtons part-time for the past 18-months and thoroughly enjoys it. It's been a joy to watch him make friends, form connections with the staff and become part of a very special community.
As a parent, I have been extremely happy with the nursery staff's capabilities and their dedication to the kids. The communication has always been excellent, but they outdid themselves during the difficult period after lockdown; keeping in constant contact and taking time to personally reassure parents and allay concerns.

We are leaving the area soon and have to withdraw our son. It is honestly one of the saddest consequences of the move. I'd thoroughly recommend the team at Busy Bees at Farrington to everyone.

Overall Experience

My son was at Busy Bees for 3 years, he was really happy there and the staff are so welcoming and friendly. He left to start school and was sad to leave. The memo book we received from the nursery for his last day was so lovely. My daughter has been going since January this year, she is 20 months and settled in so quickly and is also very happy there. I highly recommend.

Review from Anton H (Father of Child) published on 21 September 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Busy Bees at Farrington's is the best nursery any parent could wish for in the world for their children. I have had both my sons attend over an 8-year period, and in both periods, the staff, facilities, environment and learning culture for the children has been World Class. With our 2nd child, we had actually moved away further, and there were other closer options, but no way my child was going elsewhere. The level of detail taken in regards to your child's development is industry-standard best of the best. My older son is a top set child in all groups at school, and I thank Busy Bees for 85% of this development in his early years. The staff are friends and literally, both my sons have bonds for life with them and speak still regularly about them. I would love to be able to be hypercritical on something, but quite honestly I can't. I would be happy to take a call from any potential parent regarding the nursery as I know how to important it is to select the right place. They are the best!

Review from Rebeca L (Mother of Child) published on 19 September 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our son has been at Busy Bees nursery for the last 3 months and I have to say his development has come on leaps and bounds in this short time. The staff are lovely and have made us feel ever so welcome. They are approachable and reliable and show genuine care and excitement when greeting the children each morning, he loves going to nursery. In fact he’s waiting at the front door most mornings with his bag and shoes ready to go!

I can’t wait to see how he continues to grow and develop over the next few years. It’s great grounding for big school. I would recommend the nursery to anyone in the local area, it really is a lovely environment for children.

All the staff are warm and took the time to settle my baby in. He loves it there as the activities he does are engaging. The feedback provided throughout the day regarding sleep and meals is reassuring and helpful. I’ve never had any reason to worry about my son while he’s been there.

Review from Johanna (Mother of Child) published on 31 August 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My experience of Busy Bees with my first child was so good that there was no doubt that the second one would follow in his footsteps. He thrives on the routine and has formed strong bonds with the staff. He enjoys the playground area greatly, which is small but well designed, providing interesting little areas for the children to play in. He especially likes the little walks around the school grounds, where they can explore nature in a safe environment. The staff is very friendly and always happy to discuss any issues which may arise. And not to forget the introduction of the schoolroom helped greatly with the smooth progression of the older one from nursery to primary school.

Overall Experience

An excellent nursery and preschool. My daughter attended from the age of 9 months to before she started school. Her progress and development were recorded each step of the way. The love and care of the whole team was truly evident and supported by a great environment and facilities. My daughter has now left Busy Bees as a confident, sociable and happy child ready to start the next stage of her development at school.

Overall Experience
The Staff show compassion and are competent in what they do. My husband and I were initially anxious about the nursery experience but the staff made it manageable for us. They allowed us sufficient time to express our concerns without any interruptions, explained and answered all our questions clearly and calmly. The staff keep us informed about our child’s care at all times. I highly recommend the nursery to every parent.

Thank you Busy Bees at Farringtons.

Overall Experience

The nursery staff are excellent. Everyone seems to know my son’s name even those who aren’t in his room. He is happy to go to his key worker every day and even gives her a cuddle. He is happy every time I see him in the room. The activities are varied and I love receiving the observations. His first parents evening was very informative and made me realise the staff really do know my son and interact with him, as they are seeing everything I do. Everywhere is clean. The food is varied and healthy.

Very happy with our key worker and the quality of care provided during the days that our daughter is with them. She loves going to pre-school and enjoys telling us about the different things they have done during the day. Looking forward to her progressing into having regular sessions in the schoolroom in September, with the more focused learning. How happy she is overall is the biggest recommendation I can give.
