The best nursery we could have found our son. He started at 11 months, attended throughout Covid with all the restrictions and is now in his last few weeks with the nursery. Throughout the entire experience, our son's needs came first and nothing was too much for the staff. He formed very close...
Having just attended the school leavers graduation, it is really clear how much extra effort the staff put in, to give the children the absolute best experiences. I cannot thank them all enough throughout the years for helping, teaching and growing our little baby into a kind and caring little boy. You really are all amazing.

My, just over, 2 year old has been going to this nursery since she was 10 months to have childcare for 2 days of the week when daddy is also at work. She loves her days there as is always quick in the door with a little wave goodbye. The nursery provides a safe location and premise for our children and the staff are always there to update you on the child's day. Looking forward to seeing how she progresses over the next year as she goes through the other age rooms.

My son has been at Busy Bees now for almost 2 years. He started just one day a week and has now increased to three full days a week. Since being at this nursery he has thrived and developed greatly in all areas. The staff had him potty trained and dry within a week and his speech is incredible and he isn't even 3 yet. The staff care for him like family and he loves them too. The app is updated daily with toilet, sleep and food updates and they upload any pictures of activities being undertaken. I cannot recommend this nursery and the staff enough!

Our son is a happy little fella and hardly ever made a fuss about going to nursery and suddenly became teary whenever we approached the nursery.
Even after we raised the concern there was no correspondence from the nursery to deal with the issues raised and rather we were only contacted to confirm if we would still be paying for the sessions our son didn’t attend (which we paid for anyway). It was quite sad really.
Something wasn’t right and it wasn’t investigated.
Anyway, our son is in a different nursery now and he is back to his happy little self again.
We have been told that he is always in a good mood.
Hi Kemi, we are sorry to hear that you were not happy with your experience at our Ipswich Pinewood nursery. Please be assured that all concerns raised by parents are investigated internally and any areas for improvement are identified.

I knew from the second I walked in that Busy Bees was the right nursery for my daughter who is now in pre-school at Busy Bees and still is the best decision I made. My daughter was a very shy little girl and has come on leaps and bounds with her confidence, the staff are all an absolute delight and will forever be thankful to them for taking care and helping/contributing toward making her the confident little girl she is today.

Our daughter has attended this nursery since she was nine months old. We were sold as soon as we attended an open day. The nursery and staff are brilliant throughout. Our daughter loves attending and we never have issues dropping her off. Plenty of free parking for drops offs. Different activities each day, the rooms are large, clean and engaging. Great events held during the year. Our daughter loves mealtimes, the food is cooked fresh on-site and varies frequently. We love receiving the updates daily and pictures of her enjoying the day. Communication with staff is great, they always want to hear what she has been up and encourage to help with her development. A good size private garden for the children and you can hear the laughter when you approach. Good security measures and checks at the front of the building. Couldn't recommend enough, book a visit, they will not disappoint.

My daughter has attended the nursery since seven months old and she has honestly thrived and grown so much since then. The whole atmosphere of the nursery is amazing and everyone is so friendly too, such amazing activities go on in the baby room and I can tell when I pick her up she's had so much fun! Her interactions with others have massively improved and this is definitely down to the activities that promote this area. She really enjoys the meals that get cooked for her at the nursery and I am just so pleased with how well looked after she really is. All the staff go above and beyond to care for my little girl and it doesn't go unnoticed.
Both my children have been cared for at Busy Bees Pinewood since they were 11 months old. It is such a welcoming place, and although it is hard to leave your little ones, it makes it so much easier knowing they are in such a wonderful environment. It feels like a family. My son is 7. Everyone...
Both my children have been cared for at Busy Bees Pinewood since they were 11 months old. It is such a welcoming place, and although it is hard to leave your little ones, it makes it so much easier knowing they are in such a wonderful environment. It feels like a family. My son is 7. Everyone still remembers his name and takes time to have a chat with him too. Would recommend to anyone. Friendly staff who genuinely care for your children.
Overall I was satisfied with the nursery over the years my son spent there. Babies rooms are very good sensory and care too. Preschool is excellent in every meaning, care, activities, staff, food and drink. My son has lots of interesting things and built and a very good relationship with his key...
Overall I was satisfied with the nursery over the years my son spent there. Babies rooms are very good sensory and care too. Preschool is excellent in every meaning, care, activities, staff, food and drink. My son has lots of interesting things and built and a very good relationship with his key worker. Thank you for your brilliant and lovely staff (including office and kitchen staff) and for looking after my son over the past years. We are very grateful.

The older one has just left having attended since 10 months old and is now school ready and my younger one is in the baby room.
The level of care for my girls has always been excellent and their key workers have met with me and spoken at handovers at length about how they are getting on and helped to settle them in. It's a lovely learning environment with friendly welcoming staff who genuinely care for your children.

We have found Busy Bees Pinewood to be excellent, from management staff to the wonderful ladies looking after our son. After an emotional start when our son was 9 months we have been reassured every step of the way! They cater well for his dietary needs and we always collect a very happy little boy! I always recommend the nursery to everyone and anyone!

My son started nursery in 2016 at 10 months old, I had every emotion running through me and I was assured by the very caring and well-managed team every time I dropped off, picked up or phoned that my son was loving his time at Busy Bees at Ipswich Pinewood. My son has thrived from being at this nursery and the team that work here do everything to make sure his best interests are cared for. As a first-time parent, I felt comfortable in asking the staff if/when there were things I should be doing to further his development or things he should be achieving that he yet wasn't, and I was always given positive answers and feedback on how my son was developing. I'm sad to think that he will be leaving this place next year for school. The children really are the heart of Busy Bees at Ipswich Pinewood.
The care my son has received since he was 9 months old has been great and the reports and photos we receive let's us track his day.
His key person is great as well as all the other staff members in roos.
