Busy Bees Stevenage, Great Ashby

I would like to say how impressed I am with the staff at the Nursery. They are extremely professional and supportive. My daughter is full of smiles when I drop her off for her session. Her attendance at the Nursery has assisted not only with her development but also with the interaction of other children and adults which has improved her confidence. She has come on leaps and bounds. A special thank you to her allocated key worker, who I know makes my daughters experience fun and enjoyable. Thank you.

It's always a welcoming and happy environment and I feel at ease leaving my child in the care of the nursery. One particular staff member is very personable and friendly and always has time to speak to us whether it's just a Hello or to offer advice or assistance even if she is not working in the room my child is in that day.

The management team who greet me on arrival are always friendly and polite and treat me as if I was a parent and not just a frequent collector of my nephew. They often know what he has done during the day and that's before I discuss the day with the staff in the room. I am not usually one to write reviews, but my experience alone from this nursery has been and still is so great I will not hesitate to place any children I may in the future in their fantastic care. Thank you Busy Bee's Great Ashby team!

My son is currently at the nursery and has been for the past four months, he loves attending and gets excited when we are close and when he see the staff. I was worried about him starting due to a medical condition and dietary requirements but the management, staff and the chefs have all been very understanding and good to deal with it all, the food is always of a high standard and he's always given near identical food so he doesn't feel left out. Since starting the staff have helped him thrive in his development and supported him all the way, with daily activities and fun things to do.

When I first visited The nursery, I was very impressed. The entrance to the nursery is very open and inviting. It's very spacious!

My twins have really settled well at Busy Bees Great Ashby, beyond expectation. They have learnt so much and are so happy there.

They started in June last year, so have been in the younger room and their current room, and they have loved being in both. All their key workers have been fab alongside all the other staff in the rooms.

I can highly recommend Busy Bees Great Ashby and will continue to do so without hesitation.

My daughter started nursery this month and the staff have been very welcoming and made me and my daughter at ease.

I didn't have much choice when I was looking for somewhere to do the hours I needed to fit around work but I needn't have looked anywhere else anyway. Now both my children are at Busy Bees and they love it. Both started in the youngest class and my daughter is now amongst the oldest. Everyone there is friendly, professional and caring; I just can't rate them highly enough.

My son has been attending Busy Bees at Great Ashby since he was a year old and is now in preschool. I couldn’t be happier with the team and the care provided for him. He thrives there and is excited to go in every morning. We are always kept fully up to date on his progress and the facilities and food are brilliant too. Each step he has taken into a new room has been handled wonderfully making the transition easy and each key worker has been exceptional. Thank you Busy Bees!

A wonderful team of caring staff, who provide a nurturing and exciting environment for babies, toddlers and preschool children to grow and develop. My child is so happy and learning so much we are so lucky to have a place here.

My daughter attends this nursery now (as previously my older son did too) and she has progressed so much in her time there since joining as a baby. Her confidence has grown and she has made many close friends. Her carers know my daughter well and can adapt what they are doing to fully engage her in activities. Every day my daughter runs into nursery excited to see what she will be doing today. This nursery is fully recommended.

Thanks for all your hard work.

My son has been at Busy Bees since he was 9 months old and is soon to graduate preschool before starting reception in September. I cannot thank the team enough for their support and patience with my son. He has grown in confidence, social skills and communication since being there and I especially want to thank everyone in the preschool as they are the ones who have attributed most to his growth. My youngest son has now started at Great Ashby and I would never consider sending him anywhere else.

The rooms are set out in different areas to help each child's development and there is so much for them to engage with. The food menus are brilliant and I know my child is being fed a healthy balance of food. Overall, I am so happy for my son to be here at Busy Bees Great Ashby and I would recommend it to anyone.

We can’t thank the team enough for taking such good care of our daughter. Since attending Busy Bees she’s become more independent, happier and has picked up so many new words. Our daughter is very settled and happy and would highly recommend! The staff are very personable and know your name and take time to talk to you about your child’s daily routine. One big thing I noticed is that my daughter's clothes and bears are always in the bag ready to go home instead of having to search for them.

Thank you, Busy Bees!!

My daughter is very happy, she has made friends, grown in confidence and always has a great time. I can’t thank the team enough for all they do for her.

My son recently moved into Ladybirds and the transitional procedure was excellent. He spent afternoons and then some full days in the room before formally moving up. This gave him an opportunity to become familiar with the new room and adults and as a result, moved into the room with ease.

Overall very good. Wonder if more could be done to help move children on to the next milestone, ie. helping them practise new skills such as walking, etc,

My daughter has attended Busy Bees since she was 11 months old (she is now approaching two). She enjoys a good range of activities during her time there including both indoor and outdoor play and I feel learns a lot, particularly in terms of her speech and language. The staff and management are very friendly and attentive. They provide a good variety of meals and snacks. My daughter seems to really enjoy her time there.

My son attends 4 full days a week and absolutely loves this nursery! All the staff are very welcoming and he settled very quickly. He does a number of activities each day and eats a wide variety of healthy meals. His key worker is great and knows him very well. This is the second nursery he has attended and so pleased we moved him here. I would recommend this nursery to anyone.

My son is happy and settled at nursery, he only attends one day a week but runs in to see his key person in the morning. I truly feel the staff in the room know my son and all of his little ways. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery to a friend.
