Busy Bees Bedford

The staff are warm, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to supporting our child's development. The environment is safe, welcoming, neat and well organised, with a good balance of learning and play. We especially appreciate the clear communication from staff and the updates we receive about his progress on the school application.

My experience with Busy Bees has been nothing short of amazing. They are so helpful, accommodating and amazing with my son. He has learnt so much and is so comfortable with all the staff. I would highly reccommend.

The moon room team are fantastic, kind, caring, patient and playful. I have loads of confidence in the whole team and I trust them 100% with my baby

The moon room are fun and support my child with development & confidence and the change we have seen make us proud. We love that they have become part of our parenting family.

My son has settled well, I get regular updates and he is happy at busy bees.

My daughter is going to Busy Bees Nursery at Manton Lane since April 2025. Initially we were worried about how little one get adjust & in nursery, but she settled in nicely quite fast. I believe she now love nursery and enjoy everytime there. Staffs in nursery especialy in the moon room are amazing. They took very good care of her and be whatever in all she needs. We are very thankful for all they have done to our little one.

My daughter started at Busy Bees after an international move which brought us to Bedford. She was very shaken by the move and the staff at Busy Bees were wonderful with her, she settled within a few weeks and absolutely loves her days at nursery. Her key worker is fun and loving and my daughter talks about her lots at home. Three other staff members, in particular, are also so great with my daughter and the manager has always been very helpful and really accommodating of any changes we have made. The app is great and keeps us up to date with what she has eaten and how she has slept. I have never had a single concern at this nursery about her care, she always comes home clean (well as clean as any 2.5-year-old can be) fed and happy and any toilet accidents she has had, she has been helped with. There is a great outdoor area as well for outside time and the meals are balanced. The fees are standard for the area. Highly recommend.

When I was looking for a nursery for my son, three years ago, I took an instant like to Busy Bees (Manton Lane), when I visited it and we have loved the nursery ever since. All the staff have been amazing and we really got to know everyone over the last three years (even with the pandemic!). Our son feels like he is at home there. He's made so many friends and he loves his nursery nurses too. I don't think he's ever had a bad day there! We will be sad to leave this amazing place (relocating), because no other nursery compares to this one!

My son has been attending the nursery for two weeks now and I am very pleased. The staff are great with my son, who seems extremely happy, and they are very good at updating the app. His key worker is so friendly, supportive and very attentive. I feel very content knowing that he is in great hands. Thank you all for showing my son kindness. Much more organised, and it's nice to see staff with experience.

As always fab service provided by the staff. Always encourage learning and development as well as there to support when a child is upset or in need of cuddles. Our daughter loves attending and continues to role play at home with the staff (she has telephone conversations on her mobile at home) I also really appreciate the varied and nutritious meals served, encouraging new tastes and textures. I would like more photo's on the app though as I love seeing what they do.

My son is so happy, he waits at the front door every morning and sings all the way in. We are still going through potty training and having help during school time, whilst the progress is slow it's helping no end. My son is so happy when I collect him and he talks about the day and what he's done. He mentions his key people even during the weekend. We are so happy that he's settled in and is clearly very happy.

All my 4 children have gone to Busy Bees here in Bedford. They have been very well cared for, looked after and the manager and her team have become family. The boys have always had fun and talked about their friends and the activities they have done. My youngest is now leaving preschool truly ready for his next adventure at reception in school. One of the proudest things my child has achieved is his ability to recognise and write his name! Thank you for all the best childcare for 15 years.

I'm extremely pleased with the care my daughter has received to date. The staff always take such good care of her and it shows in the way she is always happy when I drop her off and collect her. She has learnt so much in the short time she has been there and they are always encouraging her, which is great.

We have two children currently with the nursery, one in preschool and one in babies. Both absolutely love the place. The best part is the team, everyone is really friendly and knowledgeable and clearly enjoy working with children. The nursery is kept very clean and the garden is fantastic. The nursery also did a brilliant job with the current pandemic.

My son started in January and was 14 months old, he does 3 days a week and seems to have settled in really well. It wasn't long before we had no tears in the mornings and he would reach out for his key worker. Updates through the app are amazing! You know what your little one is up to, what they've eaten if they've napped etc, along with pictures! I would recommend Busy Bees, Bedford.

Due to Covid restrictions, it is hard to know details of issues such as cleanliness, recourse, etc, but I do know my daughter is happy at Busy Bees. She comes out happy and singing, she likes her food, has her nappy changed regularly, and I get lots of lovely photos from her day. The staff are welcoming, and her room workers seem to have a good report with her. If anyone asked me, I would recommend the nursery to other parents.

We have seen a big difference in our child since he started nursery, he loves attending and often wants to of back in once we collect him. He is more confident in starting to speak sharing when playing and socialising with other children. All the staff have been extremely polite and friendly. We also love all the updates we receive on the parent zone app. Thank you so much.

The team at Manton Lane are brilliant, friendly, knowledgeable and always very welcoming. We currently have our 2nd child attending, so have got to know them all very well. The low staff turnover speaks volumes for this setting. The facilities are well maintained and the garden/outdoor space is perfect.

My child has always been happy to attend this nursery. Any concerns have been dealt with in a helpful and supportive manner by staff. My only concern would be mistakes with invoicing that do continue to happen.

Busy Bees Manton Lane has been paramount in the development of our child. He has grown in confidence and they have helped improve his eating, especially the trying of new food. They have tailored the learning to the interest of the children and my son comes home excited to tell us about his day. The staff are helpful and friendly making it the perfect environment to drop off and leave your child. Thank you for it all.
