Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
It was my first time to attend the stay and play session with my child and I really had an amazing time. The teachers present in the room made sure everyone felt comfortable and included. They have given us lots of activities to do which were very fun and exciting. They also frequently asked if we needed
anything and were always checking up on us. A big shoutout to Chloe and Tahera for being with us and supported us all throughout the session. And to the whole team for being ever so amazing!

Our son has been here for over 3 years now and loves nursery, he always has a varied day with lots of different activities. The outside space is great and quiet areas inside if he needs it. He's built a real connection with the staff who are really helping him be ready for school. I couldn't recommend
this setting more highly.

My son has been attending this nursery for the past three years, and I can confidently say they continuously exceed my expectations. Thanks to their dedication, he has thrived in ways I could have only hoped for. Every member of the team seems to know him personally - his name, his interests, his little
quirks - which makes it feel like a true home away from home.


Come September, he's going to miss it dearly, and honestly, so will I. It's reassuring to know that there are still incredibly patient, understanding, and compassionate people in this profession. Their kindness and commitment set a shining example for everyone, and I couldn't be more grateful.

Busy Bees Nursery has been such a blessing for our family. My daughter settled in so well, and it's all thanks to the incredibly loving and caring staff. From the very beginning, they made her feel safe and welcomed, and now she absolutely loves going to nursery.
Knowing she's in such good hands gives
me so much peace of mind throughout the day. I especially love getting updates and photos through the nursery's appit's such a joy to get little glimpses of her day and see her smiling, playing, and learning.
I'm truly grateful for the wonderful care and attention my child receives every day. Thank you to the amazing team at Busy Bees for all that you do!

My little boy has been going to busy bees and I have been happy with his care. At first the settling in was tough and I would have liked to have more time to settle him in slowly with my presence but I realised that this would actually make things worse as I couldn't be around for as slow as it would
have taken and I had to trust the process however hard. The staff are caring and kind and give wonderful detailed handovers of the day he has had. The app is a wonderful feature where I can see pictures of my little boys day and have full details of naps and food that he has eaten. This is very helpful for planning at home. I can see how much he has settled in now and each day gets better. I love the learning that he is showing me at home.

My son has attended Busy Bees nursery for 1 year now and absolutely loves it. He runs up to some of his favourite carers when he sees them in the morning and gives them a big cuddle. He also has so much fun, as he gets all his messy and water play during his days at nursery. They provide fresh meals
cooked daily onsite and we receive daily updates regarding how much my son has eaten as well as fun activities he took part in. We also receive regular pictures of him having a great time during the week. Cannot fault Busy Bees one bit. Friendly team, and my son's happy demeanor is evidence that they really do a great job with the children under their care. Well done Busy Bees Huntingdon!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Busy Bees Huntingdon is an amazing nursery that provides great skills for learning and socialising to our child. They have helped her develop leaps and bounds. The staff are very supportive and helpful especially to nervous first time parents. They occasionally hold small sessions around different seasonal
holidays which helps bring both parents and nursery staff to interact with their child. The app that the nursery uses is very helpful to nervous and anxious parents, I love seeing what my little one has learnt and what new skills she has achieved. My first most memorable experience, with my branch of Busy Bees, was on the first full day my little girl went to nursery. They were very accommodating to me, ringing at least twice in the first 30 minutes of her being there, to check on how she was doing. They were very helpful, calm and friendly.

The staff have been amazing with both my girls since they started, the staff are incredible and I'm always kept up to date with their development, how they are doing and get pictures throughout the day. I get amazing handovers from all staff who look after the girls at the setting and couldn't ask for
a better nursery. The chef is also amazing and provides a variety of food, my eldest always comes home and tells me how much she likes it. Management team are just fantastic, have always helped with questions and any concerns I've had and they have always been able to help. My girls are well looked after by them all and couldn't ask for a better nursery!

I cannot fault our experience with Busy Bees. Our daughter joined in September 2024 and ever since she has flourished. The joining and settling period in the baby room was brilliant, we felt reassured and our daughter settled so well with comfort and reassurance from the staff. The meals provided always
have a great variety and appear to be tasty according to the daily updates on the app. Each room has a generous amount of space and encourage the children to flow freely between outside and in encouraging their creativity and imagination. The nursery provides a very homely feel and we would recommend Busy Bees to anyone looking for somewhere to send their child.

My son started in September 2024 and so far I have been so impressed with this nursery. The staff are all very kind and approachable. They cater the activities to the children's interests and have a really nice sensory room and lovely outside space. My son struggled at drop offs to begin with and the
staff handled this amazingly, they kept me updated and would ring and let me know when he had calmed down and had settled in. My son seems so happy there and it's so nice knowing he is in safe hands.

My daughter (3yo) started this nursery nearly a year ago. The staff have been absolutely fantastic with settling her in, keeping me up to date via the app and getting verbal reports upon pick up. I feel like they've made a real effort in building a relationship with my daughter and getting to know her.
My daughter had a bit of a rocky start with nerves and shyness but has come on leaps and bounds since. She has recently moved into the pre school room and is loving it in there, lots for her to do and she's made some lovely friends. I always recommend this nursery if anyone asks.

Taking good care of my daughter and updating about the activities on the app helps a lot. Also, contacting immediately in case of any injuries or sickness and updating us assures us that our daughter is in good care. Thank you so much for all you do.

Cannot fault the nursery or the staff. They go above and beyond to make sure both I and my child are comfortable and happy. Always get a warm welcome, and my child is always beaming when I pick her up. The encouragement with her speaking and counting means she has improved massively with the help of
the staff. Also, her confidence has just boomed since being at the nursery.

I'm very happy with how my baby has been helped to settle into the nursery. She's a very sensitive girl and didn't immediately settle; the staff went above and beyond to make her feel safe, they even let her contact nap when she wouldn't sleep otherwise. She quickly started trusting them and got very
attached to some staff members. She even crawled to them for a cuddle when I was in the room, which means she is very happy and treated well. I like that the babies are taken outside into the garden every day, and they eat well. The staff provides constant updates, and they follow my instructions carefully.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our little girl has been going to this nursery since she was 12 months old. Now she's two and skips into nursery each morning without even a backward glance! Being a full-time working mum, I had my reservations about putting my precious daughter into the care of strangers at such a young age, but as
soon as she settled in, I had no such worries. She naps well, she eats well, and her development has certainly been aided by the care and attention she receives on a daily basis. She gets a lot of outdoor time in the garden, and I love that she does all the messy play in the nursery setting, so I don't have to deal with the clean-up at home! She often comes back and tells me the interesting things she's been up to each day. I am also kept updated via the app, so I can see when and what she has eaten, how many nappies have been changed, and get to see pictures of her which really bring me joy during a stressful day at the office. The staff are caring, friendly, and responsive; I cannot fault it.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.821)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.821) out of 10 for Busy Bees Huntingdon is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 47 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 47 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.821 for Busy Bees Huntingdon is calculated as follows: ( (464 Excellents x 5) + (92 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 560 Ratings = 4.821
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Huntingdon is based on 47 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 100 number of registered child places is 20, which has been reached with 47 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
