Busy Bees St Albans City Hospital

Both my son and daughter went to Busy Bees nursery at St. Albans hospital. I was very happy with the way the staff were with my children, always on hand if I had any questions and were always polite. I would highly recommend to everyone wanting a relaxed, friendly, happy and educational environment for their children.

Busy Bees is an amazing nursery. When my son started he lacked social skills but with a little help from the staff he slowly came out of his shell and blossomed into a happy and very sociable little boy. The staff were very approachable and always took the time to listen to any concerns or worries I had. My son loved going to nursery and looked forward to it every day as everyday was filled with different activities

All the staff are very lovely and friendly, my son loves the nursery and the staff too. The nursery is very supportive in every way and will help you with anything you need to know. My son loves the food at nursery and the nursery is a very good clean building.

My son has made good progress in his development under the nurturing of the nursery. I particularly like the enhancements that Preschool provide, such as 'Letter of the Week' and Chatterboxes; which provide introductions to more academic subjects and skills (in preparation for school) whilst still ensuring it is kept fun and playful. I have already seen a big impact this has had on my son's enthusiasm to approach these subjects and willingness to learn.

Busy Bees at St Albans City Hospital is an excellent nursery. The staff are very friendly and dedicated to supporting you and your child throughout the nursery years. The days are filled with activities to develop your child and our daughter comes home happy and excited to tell me all about her day. They have excellent controls in place to ensure the safety and security of the children and have an in-house chef who produces freshly cooked, nutritious meals each day. We have been with the nursery for two years now and our daughter is excelling in all developmental skills. I would highly recommend this nursery.

We would have no hesitation in recommending the manager and the team to anyone and indeed have.

Both our children have attended this nursery so we have known them for over 6 years and we have been so happy with the care they provided. Our daughter is now in the preschool room and is thriving. She loves going to nursery and the staff work tirelessly to support the children's development and provide fun and stimulating activities and opportunities! A particular recent highlight, was the trip to the local market to buy fruit to make a Smoothie! From our experience of our older child, the nursery has prepared him (right from the beginning) to support his development and social skills which enabled an incredibly smooth transition to school. We have always found the staff to be caring and engaged and there seems to be a very low turnover so we have built up solid relationships with them over the years! They go above and beyond organising regular fundraising events for chosen charities which are great to model to the children. Will be very sad when the time comes to say goodbye!

This nursery has a wonderful dedicated team who create a warm and nurturing environment. The nursery is well managed with good parent relations, the children are treated as individuals and known incredibly well by all staff. Happy and thriving children being cared for in a safe environment is all a parent can ask for.

I have two children: one 'graduated' from this nursery in the summer and is now at school, while the other, aged nearly two, comes here full-time.

The staff are terrific, and knew both my children very well indeed; they look after them with loving care and with discipline.

I think I've only come to appreciate just how good the place is now that my daughter is at school: she has adapted extremely well to the transfer, and Busy Bees really helped with this in preparing her intellectually, emotionally and in terms of behavioural expectations for school, as well as equipping her with confidence. She knows the importance of sharing and taking turns (neither of which are her strong point).

It's a brilliant nursery.
