Busy Bees Bicester

Our daughter started at Busy Bees in September 2020 after much debate about if it was ok to send her when she was only 9 months old, all I can say is that I’m so glad we did. We have noticed such a change in her and seen her develop ahead of what the books say for her age and I’m sure this is down to the fantastic staff at Busy Bees. I cannot recommend this nursery enough the meals are brilliant and very nutritional and the staff are amazing with the children. The new app is brilliant you get daily reports and pictures of what your little one is doing along with regular assessment and can even track you payments etc. Overall I’m so happy with Busy Bees.

A fantastic nursery, the staff could not be more helpful, friendly and accommodating. My daughter starts each day and ends each day with a smile. The food menu is incredibly varied, with my daughter having seconds almost daily. I have not seen inside the building due to covid. Breakfast club is not running either which is a real shame.

Excellent care of children. Staff really get to know the children and care for them. Managers are always looking for ways to improve the provision. I have always felt my children are safe at Busy Bees and their next steps in development are keenly supported. Frequent feedback is given. Varied, healthy and nutritious meals are served. Different cultures are supported and a wide variety of celebrations and festivals are regularly celebrated. Would certainly recommend.

Busy Bees is an absolutely fantastic nursery and my little boys couldn't be happier here. All of the staff know both my sons by name and are always so welcoming, warm and friendly. Both my little boys have thrived since starting at Busy Bees a few months ago. They have learnt so much and it has been fantastic for their development. It is such a relief to know that my kids are being looked after so well while I am at work. They are always treated so kindly and are made to feel safe and secure while they are at nursery.

I'm happy with everything regarding the nursery. The staff are warm and welcome and my son has settled in well.

Highly recommended.

Both my children attend Busy Bees and are happy and settled. The nursery has been accommodating to our needs and is easy to talk to, should we have any queries.

I am pleased with the staff and the staff services towards my daughter and I. I do believe the nursery is lacking in new toys and the play items seem old and in need of renewal. The toys do not seem clean (but eating areas and work surfaces do).

Even though there are named pegs, it's always a mess in the clothes/shoes/hats areas because the pegs are much fewer than the number of children. It's never clean and fresh air inside. My child has been left with a permanent scar on her forehead. I wasn't able to find out the truth as to what had happened; what they told me wasn't satisfactory. I recommend against this nursery.

One of the best aspects about Busy Bees in Bicester is the staff. Every person that we came into contact with were fantastic, very friendly, approachable and most importantly, genuinely cared about our children which is so important as a parent. The nursery has a wide range of facilities for children both indoors and outdoors and the standards across the nursery are very high.

Both my children have been cared for by Busy Bees. They love it there. All the staff are friendly and the children are looked after very well.

Thank you so much Busy Bees!!

My son loves the healthy meals he has there and always eats it up! It's great that I can collect him knowing he's eaten well and enjoyed his meals. The kitchen staff do a great job preparing the meals, so thank you.

My daughter has been coming here since she was 5 months old, and has made strong bonds with her carers who have taught her so much more than I alone could ever have done. All the kids in the older babies room have very good communication skills for their age it seems, so the patience and teaching skills of the staff are to be applauded!

When I changed my daughters days of care, the management team were very accommodating and quickly sorted a new timetable with minimal fuss and I was made to feel as if nothing was too much trouble.

The meals are very well varied so the kids get a balanced diet. My daughter is a big fan of the food that comes out of their kitchen, and so am I.

My son has attended Busy Bees Bicester since he was 2 years old. The staff go above and beyond with the development of children. The support they give to not only the children but to parents is second to none. Friendly and always happy to listen and help.

The staff are all very friendly and welcoming to the children and parents making it as easy as possible to leave your child there.

My son enjoys coming to the nursery and I can definitely recommend the nursery.

Friendly welcome from the manager and other staff members. Good activities and resources available for the children. Great snacks and lunches that my daughter enjoys.

A good nursery with brilliant staff, managers and chef - my little boy loves it there. I do have a major concern regarding the yearly rising prices, I do not see how these can be justified, especially in this economic climate. It's sad because I may have to choose a different option for my second child given the rising prices.

She enjoys being at Busy Bees, playing with other children and learning new things. She is always happy when I pick her up and I feel very comfortable with her being there knowing she is safe, happy and learning.
