My child enjoys the activities and has grown in confidence. Very happy with the care provided.
Elijah has been going to Busy Bee's NNUH for the past 6 months now and me and my partner are so glad we chose here.
Staff are so friendly always greeting you at the door when you walk in, the rooms & outside space are a good size with so much to do and it's really clean too.
They are very good at keeping the app up to date with nappy changes, food, sleep times and photos of our lil man doing painting, colouring and general day to day.
For us though it's the staff that make that place Elijahs had 3 key people and all 3 we cannot praise the amazing work your doing enough you have all made it sucha easy and peaceful transition into nursery and he genuinely loves spending time with them.
He comes home speaking different words, more confident, different skills he's learnt and the main thing is that he's happy so a huge thankyou
Also thankyou to the chefs for their hard work in doing so many different meals and dietary requirements he definitely doesn't go hungry! Keep up the good work!
I can't rate BB NNUH highly enough. My daughter has been there since she was 10 months old and she is nearly 4. I feel that the staff genuinely care about the wellbeing of the little ones. The variety of activities and food on offer are amazing. They nurture personality and key skills. Thank you to everyone, especially those in Grasshoppers x
My Daughter is in Grasshoppers and has the most amazing time, the staff are absolutely wonderful, they're so attentive and supportive not just to my daughter but to our family as a whole. The entire nursery staff are so welcoming, kind and understanding. I genuinely could not ask for more
Very well looked after my son has developed a lot of independence skills and confidence he seems to be a happy boy staff is approachable and informing good on a daily bases if any concerns or changes
We've had a generally positive experience with Busy Bee Nursery and would rate it 4/5 stars overall. Most of the staff are warm, caring, and have supported my child well-particularly with his dietary intolerances, which has been handled thoughtfully and without issue. It's reassuring to know his dietary needs are taken seriously.
My child has enjoyed his time there and has developed well. However, I do have some concerns about the increasing staff turnover. Consistency is so important for young children, and frequent changes in caregivers can be unsettling for them, worrying for parents and affects the overall atmosphere.
I hope the nursery can address these points, as stability and a positive team environment would make an already good setting even better.
My experience have been the best as possible. They really took good care of my children. My oldest child been there happily until go to school. Now it is my youngest there again happy and well treated. I truly trust in this nursery. Is the peace of mind that I need to work my 7,5h without concerns as my son is in good hands.
My son has attended Busy Bees for around 3 years now. Throughout his time there he has flourished! The staff have been excellent at communication and focusing on his individual development and needs, he seems to come home learning something new every day. He has formed friendships there and looks forward to going every time, he speaks fondly of the other children and the staff equally.
I have had both my children at Busy Bees, with my youngest currently in Grasshoppers. My eldest thrived and entered into his first year at school confident, with a love of learning and eager to make friends. Many staff go above and beyond and have always leant in to what my children are currently interested in. My youngest is always happy on pick up and I have also appreciated the care and attention given to parents as well as children as they do not need to check how we are doing but it is valued!
An overall positive experience. Staff members are always welcoming and smiling. Any concerns or issues are addressed quickly and professionally. Every morning, my child is curious to explore the new activities that are being prepared for the day. Keep it up Busy bees!
Our daughter has been in the Bluebells room since she started in January of this year. She now goes into nursery with a great big smile on her face and is always so excited to see the staff at the nursery. The staff are always really supportive of whatever phase of learning she is going through (e.g. helping us reduce her reliance on her dummy). Really would recommend Busy Bees at Norfolk and Norwich Hospital to anyone looking for a great nursery for their child!
My son has been at Busy Bees for over 3 years and they have been excellent. Supporting his development and helping him to grow into a curious and kind little man. There is always excellent communication from nursery whenever there are concerns about behaviour or injury, they are dealt with appropriately.
My little boy joined Busy Bees in January and over the last 3 months his confidence has really grown. The staff are really supportive and caring, and we get regular updates on all the things they do during the day. They have a fantastic menu and it's amazing to see the variety of food he eats each week. It's lovely to see him happily playing when i go to pick him up and to know that he feels safe whilst he is there. The children are kept entertained with a wide range of activities, both indoors and outdoors and i wouldn't hesitate in recommending this nursery to other parents.
My daughter started in September 2025 at 9 months old and she loves going to nursery. She is familiar with her key workers and they adore her. She goes in smiling and has a lovely day. The staff are all lovely and would highley recommend.
They took the time to get to know my child and this was evident in the daily feedback I got when collecting my her. They would set up activities to match her interests and this really helped her to build relationships with the staff and settle into the sessions.
When she moved up to her first new room, they really considered her individual needs and set up transition sessions for her to get used the the environment, meet new friends and get to know her new key worker.She has been thriving as a result of the staff working hard to develop an exciting and challenging curriculum for my daughter and we are so proud of the progress she is making.
Really lovely nursery with lots of bright open space . I love how each member of staff bond and has a connection with my child .
The activities are varied and I love that they do a lot of outdoor play .
My daughter has been going to busy bees since she was 11 months and she's now 4. The care is amazing and the staff really support her development and have done ever since she was little. In the pre school room, the staff are always finding new and incentive ways to help her learning and because of this she will be so prepared and ready for school in September. All the staff are very approachable and nothing is too much trouble.
My daughter has flourished in oak trees class, she has gained confidence and independence. The staff have been amazing at supporting her with her upper limb difference and facilitating her journey in learning how to tackle tricky activities in her own way. All the staff are friendly, caring and enthusiastic. The mixture of outside play and structured activities is great. The food menu offers children a good variety of healthy meals which my daughter enjoys. I would recommend this nursery.
They arrange a lot of parent stay and plays which is lovely to be able to come into the nursery and see what your child gets up to and see them playing with their friends.
Our daughter is in little acorn room, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. She has had such amazing key workers in each room, and their care and support have truly helped her blossom into a confident and happy little girl.
The nursery always keeps the children engaged with fun and varied activities, both indoors and outdoors, which she absolutely loves. The food is healthy, nutritious, and clearly delicious since she often asks for a second portion!
Handovers are always thorough and reassuring, which gives us real peace of mind every day. We've been so impressed with the nursery that we've already enrolled our next child :)
