Review from Mena R (Mother of Child) published on 22 March 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has been here since she as 6 months old (she is now 4). I have never experienced any issues at all with the staff or the care they have provided.
My daughter loves coming to the nursery, she has made many friends, her personality has grown and I feel that her interest in learning is always increasing. She absolutely loves the staff and runs in each morning to hug them.

I'll be very sad when she leaves in the summer. Huge thank you to all of the staff for the excellent care they provide for my daughter.

Overall Experience

My daughter started at Busy Bees Apsley when she was 18 months old. I was very nervous about her starting, but since she has started she has really come out of her shell in all aspects. The staff are extremely professional, caring and helpful. My husband and I are very glad we chose Busy Bees.

Review from Anne-Marie B (Mother of Child) published on 20 March 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My 2.5 year old started at Busy Bees Apsley in September 2018. During a difficult settling in period, the staff were so supportive and kept me constantly updated on her progress, especially the staff in the Toddler room. She very much enjoys her time at nursery, especially the music and dance class which comes in on Wednesday afternoon. She has really thrived since being at Busy Bees and we would absolutely recommend this nursery to other parents.

Overall Experience

My son started his nursery full time from February 2019. He is doing very well. I am very pleased with the staff, the way they record his activities, I can't appreciate them enough for their care during eating, listing out at the end of the day. I was worried about his speech delays but within a month he picked up so well with the help of the staff and peers. I definitely recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience

Busy Bees Apsley is a fantastic nursery for my son to attend. It’s ideal for our living arrangements and I only work a 5 minute walk away and it’s easy access to get to. My son attends this nursery 2 days a week and he always looks forward to it, he loves attending the nursery and with all the fun activities they do for all age groups I know as a first-time parent he will never be bored. The staff are all amazing, even with the silliest of questions they will answer everything for you. I recommend this nursery to everyone I speak to who have children.

Review from Jessica J (Mother of Child) published on 20 March 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Very happy with the staff at Busy Bees Apsley. My daughter actually puts her arms out to go to certain members of staff when we arrive and they have dealt very well with the dietary changes she has had between 12/2018 and 3/2019 and I believe will continue to do so. It is a great and safe environment for my daughter to get used to going to school and socialising early on in life.

Overall Experience

My three children attend the setting for three full days each week. They are constantly telling me all about their days at nursery and are always excited to go back again. All three children seem to love their time there and it seems that it is a second home to them - which I am very grateful for!

Review from Rob M (Father of Child) published on 20 March 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The staff are always really friendly and happy to help out however they can. They seem to love having our son around, and he seems to enjoy his time there. He seems to have a wide range of activities to take part in that rotate regularly.

As we have a family pick our son up most days, they always complete a handover diary to help keep us informed as to what our son has been up to.

I wish I knew what their secret was in getting him to eat so well during the day!

Be aware that if you're looking to drop-off by car in the mornings, the only road in-and-out of the nursery can get very congested, so allow appropriate time taking this into account. The nursery staff are doing all they can to help maximise on the limited space that is available for parking and access.

Review from Prabha N (Mother of Child) published on 20 March 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son started his nursery with Busy Bees - Apsley. I was very apprehensive as I never had an instance of him being away from me since he was born, and I was not sure if he would be ok, fit in with the staff and other children. The staff at Busy Bees made it so easy for him to settle down, and in 2 weeks my son used to look forward to going to 'school'. The staff are really good and caring and are quite knowledgeable.

It's been over 2 months now that my son has started and the change that I see in him is amazing - better speech, ability to gel in a social setting etc. All thanks to the fantastic staff.

I am extremely glad that I chose Busy Bees - Apsley for my son.

Overall Experience

My son has been attending Busy Bees Apsley since October 2018. The staff in the Baby room are fantastic and are very attentive to each individual child's needs. My son has settled in very well and I'm most happy with Busy Bees. The nursery setting is perfect for the children and the food choices are always very nutritious. I would highly recommend Busy Bees Apsley.

Overall Experience
My second child started here 4 months ago and despite being super clingy, not being great with weaning or sleeping, the staff have been kind, patient and loving and he has settled in well. He has really benefited from the nursery environment and is now much more settled.

They have also managed his allergies well.

Overall Experience

My son has attended the nursery since 2016 and loves it. He enjoys the food, activities and has made a few very good friends. He also really likes the staff/teachers and looks forward to his sessions on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

He's got another six months until he starts at reception and is already well prepared for the move and that is partly thanks to Busy Bees.

Review from Felicia H (Mother of Child) published on 20 March 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Lovely, friendly nursery staff - very comfortable leaving my child in their care - he has been very happy and settled since his first day over a year ago. Lovely play facilities indoors and pleased that the children are regularly taken into the garden (though a brief disappointment is that it isn't a bigger space). Happy with the nutrition given too, and overall cleanliness of, the babies. Good range of event days and activities. Personal reasons beyond the aforementioned points are proximity to parents' workplaces, convenient opening/closing hours, and 10% teacher-parent discount, plus the provision of nappies and wipes and snacks which is not usual across the board. Excellent choice and will bring any future children as well.
