Busy Bees at Farnborough is a fantastic nursery with a lovely atmosphere. My son attended there from ages one to four and was extremely happy. My one year old daughter now attends and settled so quickly, which is testament to the brilliant girls who she has really bonded with. She goes into nursery smiling and I never worry about leaving her in their capable hands. There are lots of photos and updates sent throughout the day which is lovely too.
An outstanding nursery in every sense of the word. The staff are well trained, attentive, friendly and show genuine care for the progress and wellbeing of my daughter. With regular photos published daily, detailed meal plans and nappy changes, my wife and I are kept well informed during each day...
An outstanding nursery in every sense of the word. The staff are well trained, attentive, friendly and show genuine care for the progress and wellbeing of my daughter. With regular photos published daily, detailed meal plans and nappy changes, my wife and I are kept well informed during each day she is at nursery. Each observation published is thorough and exact - allowing us to closely monitor our daughter's progress during her time at Busy Bee’s. Would recommend it to everyone and anyone considering sending their child here.
Wonderful nursery, incredibly supportive, talented and welcoming staff who know the children really well, amazed by how much detailed feedback we get on a day to day basis about what our son has been doing, lovely range of activities each day and always feel that I am leaving him in safe hands.

The boys started in lockdown, and as a keyworker, I was so relieved to know they were cared for and in good hands.
They have grown in confidence and love the staff. The communication is great between staff and parents. They both seem to be developing really well.
Thank you very much!
My husband and I are first time parents and so understandably, it was slightly nerve-wracking when the time came for me to return to work and to leave our son in nursery.

My husband and I are first time parents and so understandably, it was slightly nerve-wracking when the time came for me to return to work and to leave our son in nursery. I needn’t have worried though as Busy Bees at Farnborough are amazing. They really take the time to make sure every need is met and I couldn’t be happier to be sending my son to such a brilliant establishment. Highly recommend.
Busy Bees have been fantastic to our daughter. She has been at the nursery since 2018 and the team have really helped her development in social skills, speech, motor skills and her confidence. The ladies have always gone out of their way to make our daughter feel welcome and she absolutely loves...
The nursery is always extremely clean, with lots of new activities to do each day and we have been really impressed with the support the team gave when going into lockdown, preparing activity sheets, menus and keeping in touch.
Just started at this nursery after an extremely unpleasant experience with our previous nursery after the Covid-19 shutdown. The staff have been amazing even in these unprecedented times and have the best interests of the children, families and staff at the heart of everything they do. Busy Bees...
It's refreshing to be dealing with a professional organisation.

My wife and I have no hesitation in leaving our daughter here, as all the staff are so lovely and reassuring, we only wish we could afford to take her there more than 2-3 days a week. Not only does she have lots of fun, she definitely benefits educationally too!
We have recently welcomed our second daughter to the family, and already know she will get the chance to have just as much fun as her sister has had at Busy Bees.
My daughter has been at Busy Bees Farnborough Q since she turned one and loves attending. We could not ask more from the staff. It’s much easier to leave your child when you know the staff are so great! The garden facilities are lovely, and the activities and tasks my daughter does really stretch...
Couldn’t recommend this nursery enough!
My little one has been at Busy Bees since she was six months old and she has absolutely loved every day there. She is now 18 months and not a day has gone by when she hasn’t come back full of beans and tired out because of all the wonderful activities they get up to. The staff are brilliant and...
My little one has been at Busy Bees since she was six months old and she has absolutely loved every day there. She is now 18 months and not a day has gone by when she hasn’t come back full of beans and tired out because of all the wonderful activities they get up to. The staff are brilliant and always happy and make her feel special and make me feel like she is special to them as they do with all the children, we really couldn’t be happier with Busy Bees.

My youngest started when she was six months old and has also settled in very well. The staff are so accommodating and it’s so nice to see lots of friendly faces on drop-offs and pickups. The manager has made many positive changes since starting at the nursery and it’s great to see. She is also very approachable and friendly. I would highly recommend this nursery to any family and friends looking for a place for their child. I can’t wait (when I feel the time is right) for my little one to return to nursery and to see all the staff and her friends again. 10/10 from me!
Both my kids have been through Busy Bees since they were six months and its current setup is the best it has ever been. It’s sad that staff turnover was higher than we would have liked in the past but key workers have always been clearly identified and development documentation has been good. The...
The downside in the past was that they always seemed to be operating at bare minimum staff levels, though this has gotten a lot better under the current manager after hearing these concerns in the parent engagement forum.

I can’t fault any of the staff at Busy Bees. They have always been incredibly accommodating and brilliant with our son who also absolutely loves them. The care is outstanding and he has learnt so much attending every day. Would highly recommend Busy Bees to anyone!

The nursery is incredibly well run. All staff are efficient, organised, capable, kind, thoughtful, polite and general allrounders who pass these wonderful skills and abilities on to the children with whom they hold much affection for.
Sending my daughter to this exemplary establishment has, by far, been one of my better decisions and I dread the day when she will have to leave Busy Bees behind. I can not recommend Busy Bees highly enough. They are all fabulous!
Both my children now attend three days a week and their personalities, characters, knowledge, understanding and confidence has not stopped growing.

Both my children now attend three days a week and their personalities, characters, knowledge, understanding and confidence has not stopped growing.
They have fantastic relationships with the staff and other children.
I recommend this nursery at every chance I can.
Over the years I have had very few and very minor issues, all of which have been dealt with very quickly and effectively. Communication from management has improved no end since the most recent management change (which was a while ago).
Many members of staff remain the same as when we first started, which is fantastic. Lots of smiley happy faces greet you every day.
Busy Bees have been fantastic as a nursery. My son previously attended before starting school last year and now my daughter attends.

Busy Bees have been fantastic as a nursery. My son previously attended before starting school last year and now my daughter attends.
They are very responsive to emails and we have been very happy with the care provided. I have noticed some positive changes in the last 6 months and they also strive for better.
They have been wonderful through this uncertain time, and as I am a key worker my daughter has continued to attend and they have done a brilliant job at being a support for her emotionally.
My son has been at Busy Bees Farnborough Q since he was 8 months old. He absolutely loves it and has developed so much over the past year especially in confidence, social skills and his overall educational skill too. The staff are so supportive and always at hand if needed.

Nobody could have foreseen what has happened in these last few months but the way that Busy Bees handled it, was brilliant. It made us parents feel safe in the knowledge that they were doing everything in their power to ensure the welfare of both children and staff. Busy Bees has a lovely atmosphere with great staff and my 1-year-old loves going there. Hopefully, he will get back to enjoying the place very soon.
Staff are engaged, enthusiastic and I’m always impressed that they all know my daughter’s name!
