Over all time Busy Bees Basingstoke Hatch Warren Lane has 34 reviews.
Staff retention seems pretty good which I think says a lot about the culture of the place. There are a few extra special gems that work there I hope the nursery will work hard to keep.
Communication is primarily through their app where you can see what your child has eaten, when they've slept, nappies etc and there is also a weekly newsletter but you can always call them or contact via email as well.
They are open all year round including the week between Christmas and New Year.
The manager is communicative and you can tell she genuinely loves her job and knows all the children by name.
Fees are transparent and typically are reviewed once per year. Funding and TFC is accepted.
There seems to be good variety of meals and they cater well for all allergies
Now she is in the 2 to 3 rooms and always goes in happy and is welcomed by all staff; who always ask how she is and if there are any updates they need to be aware of.
The updates on the app throughout the day really help to see what she is eating, if she's slept and the developmental milestones she is meeting. I love getting photos of her playing with her friends and seeing what new skills she has learnt.
All staff are committed to ensuring that the children are safe and it is reassuring to know that there is a clear plan for safeguarding in place.
100% would recommend Hatch Warren Busy Bees!
We get daily updates on the app with regards to her food, nappies, sleep etc with the occasional photo and 'snapshot' of how she is getting on which is lovely to see. The weekly newsletter is great too and lets us know what the theme of the week was.
She is now coming to the end of her ‘under 2’s’ stage and we have nothing but fantastic views on the team who cared for her. They are all brilliant with her, know her personality and treat her as their own. At the end of her sessions, we learn all about her day and the activities she got up to. Each day doing something fun and engaging. She has learnt so much and surprises us every day.
When she moves up to the next stage, I have no reservations or anxiety as I know she will be well looked after!

Our daughter has been with the nursery since September 2022 and I can honestly say, hand on heart, that choosing Busy Bees, Hatch Warren was one of the best decisions we’ve made as parents. Our daughter is absolutely thriving and learning so much from the staff and children at the nursery. The staff are the nicest, friendliest people who care so much for the children. It’s incredible knowing that our little girl is so cared for and loved in a place that she loves going to each and every day.

Our daughter runs into nursery every morning, she is so excited to see all her friends and her lovely key worker/room staff. She comes home most evenings and tells us everything she has done that day. We cannot get over her progression with what she learns at nursery, her speech and understanding is always commented on by others. We may only be four months in but the amount of care/time and effort they have put in with our daughter and us has been amazing. We will always be grateful for this!

We have regular updates as to our child’s progress and since starting at the Hatch Warren nursery he has blossomed into such a loving, caring, intelligent, curious, confident boy.
We cannot recommend this nursery highly enough. Our child feels safe, loved, encouraged and part of a wider family. This is all any parent can ask for in a nursery.
Thank you to all the staff for ensuring this continues to be the case. Even during unexpected periods of change, the children’s care is never compromised and parents are kept informed at every step.
Outstanding nursery and staff.

My oldest is now at school but had the best journey at the nursery which set her up very well to transition to school, my youngest still attends the nursery and loves spending time with the staff and children in her room. Both my girls were very different with settling in but both experiences were made easier by the care shown from the staff and regular updates from the app! The range of food at meal times, activities during the day and opportunities they are given to learn are amazing and show a dedication from the staff team! In each age group the staff are friendly and approachable and have strong relationships with all the children whether they are their key worker or not which is lovely to see!

My son has been at Busy Bees Hatch Warren since he turned 2, progressing from the 2-3 room into preschool. He loves attending the nursery, and we have always felt supported as a family with regards to any issues and also with our son's development. My son has slight hearing loss and his key worker made a support plan and we have definitely noticed how much it has helped. During COVID it was interesting, but the nursery made every effort to keep things 'normal' for the children and ensure that they were able to safely continue. We appreciate the handovers at the end of the day, and the app is really helpful in telling us what he has eaten and his development milestones. The food the children eat is amazing, and our son eats much more there than he does at home! The team make lots of efforts with planning and setting up activities and we are often invited to celebrations and events. When we move on to school in the Autumn we will all miss the staff and friends we have made at Busy Bees!

We instantly felt comfortable having our daughter here, the staff were very friendly, knowledgeable and listened to all of our requests. We get daily updates as to what our daughter is up to and are kept up to date with any development milestones she’s reached whilst there. I couldn’t recommend this nursery enough, above and beyond our expectations.

Busy Bees at Basingstoke Hatch Warren Lane is a great nursery!! My son is coming close to leaving now to go to school and he has had such a great start, in part, due to the time and effort that the team at Busy Bees have spent with him. When I pick him up of an evening, all of the children are so happy and confident individuals and this is testament to the nursery and the work they put in to developing clever and confident little humans, ready for the next stage in their lives.
The manager has a great team of people who care, working for her, and she is a very hands-on nursery manager.
I couldn’t recommend Busy Bees at Basingstoke Hatch Warren Lane enough!
The facilities are great, a variety of healthy meals and it is always clean.
My daughter has attended Busy Bees at Basingstoke Hatch Warren Lane since she was 11 months old, and has grown through all the rooms there.
Every step of the way, the care and education she receives is second to none, to the point where most of her dollies are named after the nursery staff! She is, and has always been eager to go every day, which I think is a testament to how happy she is there.
Every key worker she has had over the 2 years, has been exceptional and bonded with both my daughter and also us as parents, which I also feel is equally important.
The garden has been redone recently to a really high standard, and I have NEVER ever seen anything that looked like it needed cleaning or tidying. All the staff take such pride in the environment and in the children.
We are very happy with the care provided by the nursery and feel that our son is learning and developing well.
The staff are a pleasure to deal with and we feel that he is in safe, caring hands.
My son absolutely loves the days he spends at Busy Bees at Basingstoke Hatch Warren Lane. He always enjoys the activities and eats like a king! As a parent, I love the regular updates on sleep, eating, nappies and observations of how he has been getting on. The staff are incredible and my son is thriving under their care. We are so pleased we chose Busy Bees and couldn’t ask for a better team of people to look after our little boy.
I would have no hesitation in recommending this nursery to other parents/carers and look forward to our new arrival joining when I return to work next year!
My son thoroughly enjoys his time in 2-3’s and always has lots of stories of all the fun things he has done each day. The staff are very friendly and patient and all of the children always look very happy.
Busy Bees Hatch Warren has provided excellent care to my little girl. She settled in extremely quickly and class room transitions when moving up are very well organised to cause minimum stress to the child. All staff are very polite and helpful and the iconnect tool really keeps you connected to your childs daily activities.
My daughter has been with Busy Bees now for almost a year and she is so happy there, she has come on so far with her learning since she started. The staff are all so caring for the children and provide daily updates at the end of each session. The food is great, plenty of varied meals that my child would have never tried if she wasn’t at Busy Bees. Best of all, the children are always so happy! Thank you for your continued hard work and support.
