My son has attended Busy Bees full-time for almost a year. He settled very quickly and loves all of the staff and other children.
All the staff know all of the children by name and their individual personalities. It's like a big family.
Highly recommend to anyone who is looking at childcare. I am so pleased I made the decision to join Busy Bees.
Impressed with the nursery. We have used for both our children and they have enjoyed their time here.
We are very happy with the level of care our son has received and the way in which he has progressed since starting here.
Supportive staff, caring environment. The kids enjoy their time and have made connections with the staff and other children. Very happy with the nursery.
My son has been attending Busy Bees at The Rye for a few months now. He settled in really well and it is wonderful to see the bond he has developed with the staff. I feel content that I am leaving my child in an environment where he is well cared for and most importantly, has loads of fun!
We have two children at Busy Bees at The Rye. They both love being at nursery and the staff are both professional and caring with the children. Great location for the park and town/railway station too.
I am so pleased that my son comes to such a fantastic nursery.
My son loves nursery and talks about it very fondly. He is clearly learning so much, developing new skills and having a great time. All of my interactions with the nursery are first class. The staff are friendly, engaged, fun and so focused on the children. My son has had a new brother in the last few months and this was quite unsettling for him but it was so comforting knowing how engaged and supportive the staff were at the nursery, that we could talk to them about our concerns and to see and hear what they were doing to support him and look after him.
I also love the variety of different activities that the nursery undertakes, supporting charity events, introducing the children to new activities and cultures and giving them the opportunity to experience lots of fun things.
Bringing my son to nursery does not feel like dropping him off with strangers, it feels like leaving him with an extended family.
We came to High Wycombe in 2014. We read the Ofsted. Busy Bees was "good" and others "outstanding". Ofsted in my opinion consistently gets it wrong. Busy Bees at the Rye is outstanding. Our daughter began there just turned one, not crawling or talking yet and emerged three years later a happy, confident, chatty little girl with lots of young friends. Each carer was enthusiastic, engaged in their work, devoted, friendly to parents and affectionate to kids. Our daughter had to do long days, three days a week, between Dad dropping her off at 8.15 and Mum picking up at 6.15. Not once in three years did we have to worry. Her care was attentive, thoughtful and compassionate throughout her time there. She was stimulated to play and learn and developed well socially and verbally. I can't remember a single day when our daughter was sad after a day at Busy Bees, and I can remember lots when she finished the long day entirely happy. Thank you Busy Bees people! You're great.
Our son has now been at Busy Bees for 3 years & is about to leave to go to school & we have been delighted with the care he has received and impressed at how ready he is to take this next step. What struck me most about Busy Bees is the care and love that emanates from everyone that works there, they don't just look after your children they genuinely care & want the best for them. There is an excellent manager & takes the time to know every child and every parent and you can tell is very active in all the children's care & I have nothing but glowing things to say about the many wonderful ladies who have cared for our boy. As a mother returning to work all you can ask is that the person who cares for your child will educate them, ensure they are growing up knowing right and wrong, feed them tasty nutritious food, provide a fun environment and ultimately care for them. Busy Bees does this and more and we are grateful to have found them.
Busy Bees initially wasn't top of my list (they are right in the centre of High Wycombe in what looks an ugly building from the road), drive in and they face the park, have a garden and are very convenient to the station.
My son has now been at the nursery for 6 months and we couldn't be happier. The place is well managed, staff seem happy and provide great care. When I collect him, I am told all about his day, what he has eaten, sleep times, nappies and activities. A really great nursery!
A first time mum and teacher by profession, you can imagine the anxiety of choosing the right nursery for my son. Research and checks done, we payed a visit to Busy Bees the Rye. To our great joy and surprise, our one year old chose the nursery! He was so comfortable, he didn’t notice our absence as his dad and I continued viewing the nursery, while he stayed playing. The indoor and outdoor space is lovely and well equipped. Brilliant for learning and play. The staff are very competent and supportive, they give great care to each child and are attentive.
We know our son is happy, safe and thriving at Busy Bees the Rye.
My daughter has attended Busy Bees since she turned 1. She's now nearly 3 and has grown tremendously in confidence thanks to the nursery. This is a nursery you can trust to fully care for your child, and they seem to me to strike the right balance in terms of nurturing and yet also encouraging your child to develop and explore new things (the food is marvellous and always as good as you would make at home). Several members of staff are so utterly dedicated that the love really shines right out of them. I have no doubts that she'll carry on developing extremely well - both emotionally and intellectually thanks to Busy Bees. It really is such a relief to have it.
My daughter has attended Busy Bees at The Rye since she was 10 months old and is now turning 4. The care she has received in that time has been outstanding.
The staff are kind, caring and nurturing, I am happy to leave my daughter each day, confident that she will be stimulated and very well looked after.
The food provided is nutritious and the children are encouraged to try new things.
The garden facility is great and allows easy access to fresh air every day.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Busy Bees.
My son has been going to Busy Bees since he was 10 months old and has grown into a happy, confident 3-year-old. The staff are all extremely dedicated and show genuine care and affection for all the children.
Very warm and welcoming whenever I pick up.
Bright and airy with very big rooms which the little ones love and can all play in.
The garden is also fabulous so very lucky we found this nursery.
My son has been going full time since he was 11 months old and he has just entered preschool having turned 3 at the beginning of summer. The manager and her team have been instrumental in his development and I'm pleased to say he is a happy, bright and confident child, thanks in no small part to their work. He loves going and has many friends. He eats incredibly well and is very well cared for. The team there - both management and care giving - have responded quickly and capably to his evolving needs. They have instilled a sense of self and encouraged my son's imagination and curiosity. In short, they are a team I trust to help me raise my son.
A good well run nursery. All the carers are lovely and really care about the children and how they are progressing.

Hi, my name is Claire Griffin. I've worked in the childcare field for 20 years and have worked as a nursery Manager for 12 years.
I attended college when I left school and gained my level 3 Diploma in childcare and development. Since then I've continued to develop my knowledge with a range of training such as level 3 nominated safeguarding lead, Paediatric first aid and I also completed my level 3 NVQ in management.
Throughout my childcare career, I've loved working with all ages children and gaining a range of experience from working as a nursery nurse, room senior and deputy manager.
I've recently moved to High Wycombe with my husband and 2 daughters and had to make the difficult decision to leave my last nursery due to the travel. However, I'm over the moon and so excited to start my new role at Busy Bees and I'm looking forward to meeting everyone.
