My child has attended Busy Bees, Great Ashby, since December 2020. I cannot fault the care and expertise of the staff. They all go above and beyond to get to know your child and to help them grow.
My child has always been a fussy eater, but they have taken the time to explore different foods, not just using taste, but other senses, to make food seem less “scary”.
The feedback we receive is fantastic, both in person and via the app. I can see how much my child is developing through the pictures and updates. I love that I can let them know about an activity we have done at home and they will expand on it within the nursery setting.
I really cannot recommend this nursery enough!
My son loves Busy Bees and his development has really been evident by his attendance. He’s always chatting about his activities and we’re always surprised to hear how much he’s been up to! The staff are always respectful of our choices and always check on things such as potty training, etc too, which really helps with consistency. They are really supportive and he loves them! Thank you so much to all of the staff who make his days such fun, in a safe and encouraging environment!
She is excited to go, and this also reassures me of her happiness there.
The staff are friendly and approachable. I would highly recommend this nursery.
We really appreciate your excellent feedback. We will endeavour to maintain the quality of care that you have experienced during your time as a parent at nursery.
I love the structure they have in place for learning and child development. We’ve never had an issue with cleanliness and we have always been impressed by the nursery’s professionalism.
When I have another child I hope to put them in the same nursery.
Your positive feedback will be passed on to staff at nursery, we are sure the team will really appreciate your excellent feedback.
We can't speak highly enough of the staff there, they are always easy to contact, give advice when needed and have gone above and beyond to enhance our daughters learning experience at every opportunity, whilst giving us constant feedback on her progress both in person and through the app that they use.
We visited a few nurseries when contemplating where to send our daughter and we were both impressed by the welcoming and knowledgeable output of the staff that our experience since our daughter has been going there has only reconfirmed we have made the right choice.
Can't complement Busy Bees, Great Ashby, enough and we recommended wholeheartedly sending any child there from the experience we have had.
Brilliant nursery, staff are always friendly and helpful. I couldn't be happier with my child's development since she has been going to the nursery, and it's amazing how well they all have adapted to the new way of working due to COVID.
An as anxious parent, I cannot fault the care, commitment and dedication to all the carers and management team who supported both my child and myself to adapt to a day nursery setting. Thank you. I would highly recommend the Great Ashby team. My son has developed tremendously since starting.
Our family are thankful to Busy Bee’s at Stevenage, Great Ashby for looking after our daughter so well.
They have also supported us with a delayed return to nursery due to a member of our household shielding during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Staff are amazing and have built true bonds with our daughter, they support her with developing her speech (she is speech delayed).
Viewed most nursery’s in the Stevenage area and this is, we feel, by far the best for us.
Our daughter always leaves nursery happy and content and we couldn’t ask for more.
She runs in and is excited to see her friends and both my husband and I know she is happy and being well looked after.
Fantastic nursery I wouldn’t have my daughter anywhere else! Care of the children is number one, you are kept in the loop at all times. My daughter gets so excited to get up and get to nursery every day and comes home beaming. Cannot recommend Busy Bees enough. The activities are endless, the children learn and grow so much .... as for the food, she gets fed better than me. Very nutritious, varied and good quality.
My daughter has attended Busy Bees, Great Ashby, since she was 10 months old, and graduated from pre-school just a few weeks ago. From the baby room to pre-school, in each room she has received the highest level of care and all the support she needs to hit her age-appropriate milestones. The staff are excellent communicators, and there is a constant 2-way 'conversation' between parents and key workers that coordinates learning at nursery with activities undertaken at home. My daughter has thrived in this environment; she is curious, kind, has lovely manners and interacts beautifully with other children, setting her up perfectly for reception. Management is accessible, friendly and any issues are dealt with quickly and discreetly. I can jut recommend this setting enough!
I am very happy and thankful to all the staff at Busy Bees for looking after my daughter who is 15 months old. I was very nervous about sending my child to a nursery but am very pleased that I found a perfect place for her.
At the show-round, immediately I was impressed by the easy parking, the level of security (no mobile phones allowed beyond reception etc) and the easy, fun atmosphere.
The nursery is spacious and well equipped with great games and toys in the garden which is used in all-weathers.
The care taken by all members of staff is exceptional and communication very free-flowing.
We’re so sad to be leaving and would highly recommend both the nursery and the team that makes it work!
Many thanks for all your efforts, collaboration and for looking after my kids.
My son is very happy at the nursery, he settled very well, and the staff are amazing.
We definitely will recommend Busy Bees to everyone we know.
Thank you to management and all the staff in Bombo-2 and Bumble-2 for looking after our son.
I cannot recommend Busy Bees, Great Ashby enough for the care, love and support they have given our little boy over the past couple of years. The staff are all so kind and you can see that they genuinely care about all the children. They have helped our little boy to grow, learn and gain valuable confidence in himself. Busy Bees has made the difficult decision of childcare so much easier for us knowing that our son was really cared for. Thank you so much to everyone in the Busy Bees, Great Ashby team!
In the almost 4 years that my son attended I have not had any concerns, throughout his journey of changing rooms as he got older and hitting milestones of potty training etc we have been fully supported and informed. The staff are so friendly and approachable. My son has made friends for life from nursery as have I.
My son has been at Busy Bees Great Ashby for a little over 2.5 years and has absolutely thrived there. The staff are all fantastic (and more importantly stable) and have been wonderful. Can't recommend enough.
Busy Bees Great Ashby are wonderful. My daughter was there from 1years old and she was very clingy going in but always came out beaming! Compared to my son who didn’t go to nursery my daughter is more friendly, outgoing, well ahead in counting, drawing etc. And she isn’t as fussy with food. I honestly thank the staff at Busy Bees for that. They really do care. 5 stars. You couldn’t ask for more.
My two children attend Busy Bees Great Ashby Stevenage and I’ve been most satisfied with the care they received. Outstanding services, staff and management, I would definitely recommend to others. Thank you Busy Bees Great Ashby for your hard work and dedication!

Meet the Team (1)
My name is Lisa Stevens and I am the Nursery Centre Director at Stevenage Great Ashby Nursery since January 2013, previously I was Manager at Busy Bees Welwyn Garden City for nine years and have in total 27 years of childcare experience.
I have a range of qualifications and experience from completing my NNEB in 1992, NVQ level 3 in 1998, Assessor and Internal verifier award to more recently Certificate in Leadership and Management.
Over the past few years I have attended many courses and training to ensure my knowledge is current within the childcare industry, including Level 3 cert in food management, safeguarding designated person, paediatric first aid and EYFS courses.
The current staff team have a long service history ranging from 2-10 years inclusive and are a stable experienced team, we take pride in our low staff turnover and consistent key person approach to caring for every child’s individual needs.
I find being part of children’s growth and development both rewarding and satisfying, I get the best of both worlds being office based my job entails working closely with parent’s but there is opportunity during the day to spend time in the rooms joining in the children’s activities.
I currently work Monday - Friday, both of my children have attended the nursery since 8 months of age until they both left for Reception.
