Busy Bees Norfolk and Norwich Hospital

My daughter enjoyed her time at Busy Bees, Colney Lane, Norwich. She took a while to settle but the staff went above and beyond to help her.

Based on my child experience at Busy Bees Norfolk and Norwich Hospital, I would recommend this nursery to other parents. The activities are varied, including using the area outside whenever the weather allows. My daughter enjoys her days at Busy Bees and has made her first best friends! The staff is friendly and attentive and have been extremely helpful throughout the toddler “milestones” and "challenges". The management team has always been very accommodating of any request we might have.

The staff is extremely caring, they are interested in knowing how the child has been at home and what has happened while they were away from nursery and they are ready to give a lot of information about the child's routine and mood during their time in nursery. They make sure to nurture friendships and to encourage cognitive development. We were always kept informed about any issues arising (contagious diseases) and invited to join into activities for book day or Mother's Day. Children spend a lot of time outside. The only downside is the lack of pedestrian access. The nursery is next to a big car park as many parents drive but some do not.

Administration is always helpful, especially in helping with funding forms.

Both our children have attended Busy Bees, and both have now moved on, equipped with a great set of skills to help them move forward to their next phases in learning and life. We cannot rate the team at Busy Bees at Norfolk and Norwich Hospital more highly. Our children have always been well cared for and looked after whilst in their care.

Very friendly and professional nursery with great staff and facilities. Very understanding, kind and caring manager. It was a good choice. I would definitely recommend this nursery!

Great nursery; Staff members are enthusiastic, they really care for the children, they offer plenty of activities to help our son's development, and he absolutely loves the place since he's started when he was 4 months old. They've been very helpful to help us manage his food allergies. We recommend the nursery very strongly.

My child has been attending Busy Bees Norfolk and Norwich Hospital since she was around 10 months old, she is now 2years 4months. Since starting, my child loves coming into nursery. Both management and staff are very friendly and welcomes me and my child each morning. I feel the nursery provides a wide variety of activities to suit my child's interests and abilities. I like receiving wonderful feedback about my child's day and how well she is developing. I like parent zone where I can look at my child's observations and assessment from the comfort of my home and also write my own feedback on these.

I have sent both my children to this nursery after a bad experience with a previous nursery. The Manager is wonderful, caring and hands on. All the staff, from those in the office to every last childcare assistant, are kind, gentle and dedicated. The food they receive is cooked on site, is healthy and always delicious, according to my two boys! They have also catered for my son's allergies extremely proficiently and went above and beyond to help our family after an unexpected redundancy. I cannot recommend them enough.

The way I know this nursery is great is because my daughter always loves going and talks very positively about the staff, food and daily activities. I have recommended the nursery to other parents because of the care my daughter receives, the knowledge and passion of the staff and because, if my daughter likes it, it must be good!

My son has attended for the last two years. From my first visit when I was pregnant, I was impressed with the nursery. Every staff member I spoke to was enthusiastic, helpful and informative. I have continued to be impressed. All the staff are friendly, they have a positive outlook, seem to really care about the children and are helpful if you have any questions. My son always is happy to attend in the mornings and he is smiling at the end of the day when we collect him.

I have always felt that he is safe, well cared for and that they promote his development and well being. They are very good at raising things if a little extra support is needed such as speech and language and it’s done really sensitively.

The hours being extended meant I never felt in a rush before or after work when dropping off and collecting.

I would not hesitate to recommend Busy Bees to anyone. Thank you, keep up the good work.

My daughter started nursery at nine months old at Busy Bees and for the next four years, she attended full time. I watched my daughter grow up in confidence, learning essential skills to become a confident little girl. The staff are highly skilled and take the care and education, safety and general health of the kids seriously. I would recommend this nursery to any parent who is looking for high-quality care for their children.

We cannot praise this nursery highly enough. My two children have been coming from the month they turned one until leaving for school. They have loved every minute. The staff and care are exceptional and we are so grateful for the great start both my girls have been given.

My son has had a wonderful time at this nursery. It has been really good for his development and he has loved each and every room that he has been through. I felt the nursery had the right approach to support and nurture him at every stage from a small baby to a pre-schooler. There is nothing negative that I can say about my experience and I would recommend this nursery to everyone!

My daughter has been going to Busy Bees Norfolk and Norwich Hospital for over 3 years. The staff are very helpful friendly and approachable.

All staff, especially in the Oaktrees Room, are very helpful and caring.

Fantastic nursery! Our little girl has been attending this nursery for the past couple of years and I continue to be impressed by the level of care shown by ALL the staff. Alongside this dedicated team, she is treated to a fantastic variety of foods by the onsite chef and enjoys great outdoor space. Every child is treated as an individual and the team genuinely care for their welfare. The dedication from everyone at Busy Bees is excellent and I can't recommend it enough.

It is a good nursery. My son enjoys his time and is happy to go there. He seems to learn and have fun at the same time. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The only thing which I get bothered about, is I find my son most of the days with a running nose, not being cleaned.

An amazing place for children to develop. Initially chosen purely due to its location but my son has thrived here. Everyone is welcoming, the games are fun and the toys plentiful. They are experts at keeping a cheeky 4-year-old calm as well! Would definitely recommend this nursery. We will all miss it when reception class begins at big school.

My child is so happy at Busy Bees and has made friends. He has developed so much and interacts well with other children and plays and is learning to share. The staff are so helpful and caring especially when it come to my child. I know the staff gives my child the attention he needs and I enjoy looking at his development on my app on my phone. The food choices/meals my child eats are more than expected and such a variety of food. So happy my child is having a good start in life.

Very friendly environment, spacious and bright rooms. Great outdoor play area. All staff always helpful. Menu has a variety of tastes.
