Busy Bees Bicester

The nursery is so welcoming! The staff go above and beyond. They care about each child and treat each one as a person with certain likes & dislikes. They use the gentle parenting method, there is no shouting or arguing in the room, every child is so friendly & loving. They have done wonders for my grandson.

I am very happy with this nursery and highly recommend it. All the staff are caring and professional. My child's key worker understands her well and provides constant feedback, helping us continue her learning at home. The nursery supported us very well during potty training and encouraged eating by introducing a variety of nutritious foods. There is a good balance between indoor and outdoor activities depending on the weather. The nursery is clean, and management keeps us well informed with email. There is a new app that is great for regular updates on children's development.

We absolutely love Busy Bees Bure Park for both our boys! Our eldest is in pre school and our youngest is in toddlers and they learn so much and are so happy to be there everyday. We cannot thank the staff enough, especially their key workers Josh and Wendy. The staff are all so amazing and our children talk about all the things they learn and it is amazing to see how far they have come since being here! The nursery is so well managed and we cannot fault them!

Thank you.

All of the staff at Busy Bees Bicester are very friendly and show a real genuine care for our daughter. They also really celebrate the milestones that she achieves. We always get very good handovers on pick up, so we know what she has been up to. The food is very good and they always have a wide range of meals every week.

My daughter has been going to Busy Bees at Bure Park since she was 1 (now 4). The team is great, they really do care about the safety, happiness and well-being of each child and have offered me the peace of mind that I needed as a first-time mum. My daughter has thrived during her time with Busy Bees and I would not hesitate to recommend the nursery to all parents.

Both of our children love attending the setting and have built really strong relationships with the staff.

My daughter has attended Busy Bees Bicester since she was 15 months old (now 4). I chose this nursery because it was warm and welcoming and I have never once regretted my decision. As my daughter has moved up through the rooms, the staff have gone out of their way to make sure that she is well settled and looked after. She is now thriving and loves to come in, in fact yesterday she told me upon collection that she didn't want to come home! I am sad that we will be leaving in order for my daughter to start school, and we will miss the staff and nursery greatly.

If I have any questions, the staff are quick to address and answer. The food menu offered is varied and nutritious. My child has an amazing bond not only with her key person, but with all the staff in her room. Within a week of attending full time, there was no fuss or tears handing her over at the door. My child started the nursery at 9 months old and the past 6 months there were just what she needed to be stimulated and learn social skills with a range of children and adults. I trust the staff judgement 100% and am wholly happy with my child’s care at Busy Bees Bicester.

Our son settled in very well. He engages in a variety of activities, the staff are fantastic and caring, and we can find out about his day simply by accessing the app which is brilliant. As parents, we feel supported and listen to. We would highly recommend the Busy Bees Nursery.

Both our kids have been attending Busy Bees Bicester for a year, in baby room and preschool. They have been thriving due to the excellent care they receive from the attentive staff. They are happy at drop off and pick up, meaning they enjoy their time there! Both kids are engaged in a variety of activities, especially at preschool, the teachers set up something new every day to spark their imagination and introduce new ideas/values/knowledge. The outside space is limited, however kids enjoy playing outside and we quite like the fact that it's shady in summer months, so they can enjoy being outside for longer. The food is always good, both kids enjoy the varied menu (more at nursery than at home, that tells you something!) and have picked up very good dining skills at nursery. We receive frequent updates from the teaching staff, very sweet photos of the kids going about their day and we get a detailed description of their day at pick up. Overall we recommend the nursery very strongly.

The staff are amazing! The centre director and staff supporting her have done wonders for the nursery and really work wit the parents and the room staff are lovely - my son runs into Busy Bees with a big grin on his face - there is no better review than that! The value of that, as a working parent, is priceless, knowing my child is loving his time and the people he is spending his day with. Thank you.

A huge shoutout to the manager and staff who have transformed the nursery in the past months to a very welcoming and bright environment full of exciting activities and special days where parents can also join in.

We started at the nursery two and a half years ago and have now worked our way through each of the rooms. The best thing about this nursery is the team, they all really care, want to develop your child, get to know them really well and make sure they are safe and well. On more than one occasion they have spotted something before me or have gone above and beyond to ensure that anything going on outside of the nursery is followed through in the nursery too. A number of the team have been there ten-plus years which is very reassuring. In terms of development, my child has come on leaps and bounds, at 3 and a half, she now knows how to eat and socialise properly at the table, knows her numbers and letters really well, recognises all the letters in her names and even knows a great deal about volcanos - as well as much more. The nursery holds a number of Saturday seasonal events, two parents' nights a year, as well as getting feedback daily in person and monthly on the app. A great nursery!

My daughter started right after lockdown eased in 2020 and everything was a bit unsure but I can honestly say I have never been happier with every step they took, from safety precautions to cleanliness of the environment for the children! They have reacted well to all situations that have been thrown at them. I had originally planned to put her into another nursery closer to my work but they were full at the time, I could see how much she loved it and I couldn’t take that away from her so three years later she is still here and still in love with everyone and everything at her preschool! I love receiving photos of what they have been up to in the day and the activities they have planned! She loves the activities they organise on top of the usual day such as a policeman coming in to talk about stranger danger and a football coach coming in to teach them skills! We don’t have a garden at home so I know it means the world to her to be able to explore outside at Busy Bees!

My 18-month-old daughter loves going every day to Busy Bees. We all love all the staff at Busy Bees, Bure Park. They are always very helpful and caring. We could not be more happier with our daughter going there.

Our son loves going to nursery and has settled in really quickly thanks to the amazing team at Busy Bees Bicester. They have been outstanding in supporting my son (and mum and dad) during his transition period into nursery. They have always been on hand to answer any queries we may have and offer support/advice when needed. His development has progressed rapidly since starting nursery and he comes home with such a smile on his face every day. I am so happy we chose Busy Bees Bicester as our nursery. It really is like a big family who all know the children, even if they are not in their class. I am especially grateful to the wonderful team in Bombo's one who my son simply loves. I would recommend this nursery to anyone!

Our son has settled into the nursery really quickly thanks to the staff who have made him feel welcome and always comes home happy. My son loves the outdoor play area and they always have fun activities to keep the children engaged. The menu is varied and our key worker works with us and our son to ensure development milestones are met, concentrating on areas he struggles with. I would recommend this nursery to others.

My daughter has flourished at Busy Bees Bicester and the care she receives is second to none. She has come on leaps and bounds since starting here and despite her physical disability, staff go above and beyond to ensure her needs are met. Her keyworker has been amazing and my daughter, without a shadow of a doubt, would not have come on as far as she has without her guidance and support. I am updated regularly on how she is progressing and any queries I have, no matter how small, is always welcomed with a conversation. I would highly recommend Busy Bees to any parents looking for a friendly, well managed and nurturing nursery.

Busy Bees Bicester, are amazing. My little girl loves it there. She is always coming home with different paintings and colourings. The new app is also amazing. I love keeping up to date with everything my little girl is doing throughout the day. Seeing pictures of her doing the activities and very happy. The price a month is well worth it. The staff are also amazing, friendly and so kind. Couldn’t recommend this nursery enough.
