Was super happy with the care in the Bambo 1 and 2 room. Staff are lovely, had zero issues. Son was always happy to go to nursery and got excited when seeing his favourite members of staff. Really felt like they liked and cared for him.

Overall Experience

I have been using this nursery for 7 years, since my youngest has started he has come on leaps and bounds. There is a variety of activities for them to do. I'm kept up to date with what he is doing throughout the day and also if there is any changes. The staff are lovely and very welcoming. Would recommend to others.

The staff are very nice. They love the children. I have a daughter with health conditions and the nursery has been very accommodating to her needs.

They call me whenever there is an issue. I feel safe leaving my kids with them.

Overall Experience

Caring staff who make my boys feel safe and loved. They enjoy the activities and the team is always professional. They have attended for many years from 3 months old and I have great faith that we are listened to and it is well managed. All staff are brilliant but particular praise for one lady who has become an integral part of my family and the raising of my children. Great nursery!

Review from Katy S (Mother of Child) published on 17 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son (2) joined Busy Bees Milton Keynes on Saxon Street around a year ago and he's loving his time here. When he first joined, he was very clingy and afraid but now, as soon as we park in front of the nursery, he can't wait to go in! The staff are all so lovely and always greet us with a smile, they are very professional, caring and very friendly. My boy always shows me the new things he's learnt and teaches me all the songs they sang that day at nursery. Staff here always call when something's up which puts me at ease and they always find the time to talk to you about any concerns which you might have. He's developed so much because of Busy Bees and I couldn't be more proud of the little person he's become! Thank you Busy Bees.

Review from Louise B (Mother of Child) published on 17 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

From my initial visit, I could see how passionate, enthusiastic and caring the team at Busy Bees Milton Keynes on Saxon Street are. My daughter started at 4 months old so I was placing a huge amount of trust in their care for her and I did a lot of searching to find the right setting. Her key person has been incredibly supportive and reassuring and the huge smiles on her face every day at drop off and pick up is a testament to the fun and inspiring care they deliver.

Overall Experience

My son has been attending this nursery since 7 months old. Staff are always friendly and caring towards him and are always careful with his diet due to his allergy. They are really great at making his learning fun, and he has really come out of his shell while there and is always smiling and laughing with staff.

Overall Experience
My child’s key worker is very passionate in her job which is shown through her dedication and effort with the children and managing their support needs.
I feel supported that I can still breastfeed my child during my lunch breaks and the nursery is very accommodating.
I am very thankful to all the members of staff who work tirelessly to ensure they are doing the best that they can.

The staff are very friendly and always cheerful.

Overall Experience

Both of my children attend Busy Bees and I feel they are very happy there. The longer opening hours mean my working hours fit easily with collection and drop off. The staff are caring and communicate any issues to us. Any concerns we have had have been resolved quickly by the centre director. Many thanks.

Review from Lindsay K (Mother of Child) published on 28 July 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
What can I say about Busy Bees Milton Keynes on Saxon Street which would truly be enough to honour what a wonderful group of people they are? They have encouraged, taught and shown hard work and devotion towards my little 4-year-old from day one when he was 10 months old. My son is under SEN and this nursery has shown devotion and dedication towards my boy. They have been 100% inclusive with their teaching.
I could not recommend this nursery and its amazing staff enough, each and every one of them.
Do not hesitate sending your child to this nursery.

We love you all dearly.

Review from M O (Mother of Child) published on 7 July 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter has had such a great learning process at Busy Bees from the very start. The staff are always greeting her with a smiling face every morning. We receive regular updates of our child’s progress throughout the day and often take a look at the photo updates to show what she is working with. At the end of the day we are given a full briefing of what she has achieved, how she is developing and what we need to work on. Overall we are very happy with Busy Bees. The staff are kind, friendly and helpful and are quick to report and bring to our attention anything necessary. Keep up the good work!

Overall Experience

My daughter has been going to Busy Bees Milton Keynes for a while and she absolutely loves it there, she has made good friends too. She loves her teachers and is happy to be doing new activities often. Recently, she has been learning a lot of new things in the preschool and her teachers are working hard all the same,.I am glad we can reach out to them anytime. My daughter is doing well and I would certainly recommend Busy Bees. Thank you Busy Bees for looking after my daughter, especially her key people.

My two children have attended the nursery and both have gotten on well and are happy when there. They are progressing well and often want to copy things at home that they have learnt from nursery. The staff are friendly and both children love coming to nursery.

Review from Vicky S (Mother of Child) published on 8 June 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has flourished since being at Busy Bees Milton Keynes on Saxon Street three days a week. Her confidence has grown as well as her speech and other learning skills. The feedback I receive when I pick up my daughter is very good and allows me to focus on things that she is interested in. Can not praise the staff enough for all they are doing for my daughter. Would highly recommend Busy Bees Saxon Street.

Overall Experience
Staff are always friendly and always have a smile.
My daughter started at 9 months old and is now 3 years old. She attends full-time and is always happy to go to school.

My daughter is progressing really well and she's always pretending to be the teacher and teaches me what she's learned.

Review from Fernando M-R (Father of Child) published on 10 August 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our son has been going to the Busy Bees at Milton Keynes on Saxon Street since 2017 and he loves it. Every single member of the staff has been very caring, professional and friendly. If there was an issue, this was dealt with professionally and sorted out. Due to the lockdown (Covid 19), all the staff from the nursery has been fantastic and working very hard to make sure children could have a "normal" nursery day. We would like to thank all the staff for looking after our son but, especially to the nursery manager for all her support.
- Our son's key persons for teaching, educating and playing with our son.

- Chef for keeping happy our hungry boy.

Review from Lianne L (Mother of Child) published on 3 August 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

High standard of childcare demonstrated by all. My daughter enjoys attending and activities are frequently done. There is great communication from the nursery team. My daughter is developing well and builds positive relationships both with staff and fellow attendees. My daughter has individual goals of achievement, which are measurable and she is supported very well to achieve. During COVID there has been minimal disruption and a high level of infection control strategies have been adopted. I feel happy to leave my daughter in the care of Busy Bees, knowing she will have a lovely day. I work at the hospital, this is convenient and reassuring that my daughter is close by.
