He is so very happy every day and when he goes and when he leaves. A thank you is not enough.
You are doing an excellent job!
Thank you so much!
This nursery is fantastic! The facilities are excellent and the staff are amazing. Our son has developed so much over the past couple of years thanks to the hard work and caring attitudes of the nursery teachers, the brilliant chef and the wonderful head of the nursery. All of the staff at Busy Bees Barrs Court interact with our son and he speaks so highly of all of them. I know he will miss them as he heads off to school next month but he will remember them very fondly, as we do.
Hello, thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a wonderful review! We’re glad you have given your little one the best start in life with us. Best wishes, Busy Bees
All the ladies at this nursery are wonderful. They always give me a lovely update of how the day has been when I pick my daughter up and after a few weeks of tears dropping her off she now loves it and gets so excited when I mention their names and she sees the bee on the entrance sign! The app is so useful too as you get regular updates on meals, nappy changes, photos and mini progress reports. She always has lovely lunches and a healthy morning snack and there is lots to do there. She always comes home in a good mood and ready for a nap from all the playing. Would recommend to anyone.

We love this nursery! A fresh and clean environment with toys and resources to keep my son happy, entertained, engaged and developing. The girls are all amazing! My son's key workers are truly awesome and make him feel so special, welcome and loved, but even the girls who work in other rooms make a fuss of him and his face lights up when he sees any of them. We are moving next month and so have to change nursery and we are genuinely saddened about this. From day dot, our little boy (who started at 6 months old) was so settled with minimal upset and separation and this is 100% down to the team at Busy Bees! The bar has been set very high for where we end up moving to. Thank you.
Hello, wow! Thank you for this glowing review! We are delighted your little one is having a good experience at our Bristol Barrs Court nursery.
Please feel free to speak to our Enrolments Team for other Busy Bees nurseries close to your new location or visit our website to find your nearest nursery. Best wishes, Busy Bees.
My daughter loves nursery and can’t wait to go in the mornings and if she’s happy then I’m happy! I can’t recommend it enough.
Since covid, they have done everything to make sure the correct changes have taken place and are followed throughout.
Our experience of Busy Bees (Barr’s Court) has been absolutely outstanding. I would recommend them to everyone. They have truly treated us as family. The care and affection they have shown all of my children have been amazing and they have gone above and beyond on a number of occasions. I can’t thank them enough for everything they have done and continue to do for all of us. When my girls go to school I will genuinely be totally gutted to not have the nursery and all the people there in my life. A huge thank you to each and every one of you. You do an amazing job and I am truly so very grateful.
Our little one started at Busy Bees Barrs Court last February, after just turning 2. He took a long time to settle into nursery but the staff were so friendly and kind and reassuring to both him and us (especially when I cried leaving him crying!). They have been professional and gone above and beyond in helping families throughout the COVID pandemic.
We have been extremely impressed with Busy Bees Barrs Court during covid 19. Procedures for pick up and drop off have been clear and well organised. We feel the nursery operates to a very high standard for example ensuring temperature checks and handwashing are completed regularly and the bubbles help to ensure our children are safe. Busy Bees have kept us up to date regarding positive cases and have robust procedures in place for when this happens.
Our daughter loves it at "Bees" as she calls it. She started last year and even though settling was different than in non-covid times she formed bonds with the staff so quickly and settled really well. The staff are brilliant and keep us updated throughout the day on the app. I feel totally secure that she is being well looked after. They have a separate drop off and pick up points now for different ages, masks worn by all parents and temperature checks.
All 3 of my children have attended Busy Bees nursery over the last 4 years. The nursery is very welcoming and the staff are friendly and caring. I feel confident when dropping off my children that they will be well cared for and have lots of fun with the range of activities they offer. My children particularly enjoy the fancy dress/themed days they do and love playing in the outdoor areas! The manager is very approachable and responds to questions/queries promptly. I would definitely recommend Busy Bees Barrs Court to friends and family.
Very good measures have been taken in place in terms of Covid. We are just very confident about our son going to Busy Bees!
I would highly recommend Busy Bees at Barrs Court, we are so lucky to have found it. Thank you, team, for being so supportive and super great fun.
This is a fantastic nursery. Both of my children go there and have had amazing experiences there. They have supported my daughter through her speech delay and have given her so many opportunities in supporting this. She is currently in preschool and when she comes home she always talks about her day and what she has done especially with her friends and staff members. My son also attends and is currently in the 2-year-old room. He has done amazing throughout the nursery, being there since he was little. They are very thoughtful about what they do in the rooms and give them both such amazing learning experiences. All the staff are friendly and are willing to go to extra lengths to support my children.
My son absolutely loves his days at Busy Bees at Bristol Barrs Court. Even in these strange times it’s a great place for him to go and have some normality. Thank you for being there and doing all you can for the children.
We’ve been so happy with the care that the nursery has provided our son. He has been attending from 9 months old and always seems to have a good day there. He has special educational needs and they have always been very accommodating to these needs. We love how they keep us up to date daily with his activities. Thanks to all the staff at Busy Bees at Bristol Barrs Court.
In the current climate I am so grateful to the staff at Busy Bees at Bristol Barrs Court. Without their care, my partner and I wouldn’t be able to work/teach. Our daughter loves nursery and this is down to the friendly staff she has bonded with. Without nursery at the moment, she wouldn’t be interacting with anyone other than Mum and Dad and it is vital for her development.
I was nervous after his horrendous care at the previous nursery, but the staff at Busy Bees are just so kind and lovely. Exactly the people you’d like to look after your child!
My son settled in really quickly and absolutely loves going to nursery. His skills have developed dramatically such as using his cutlery and his speech.
Their Covid processes are very good - texting the nursery mobile to say when you’ve arrived to pick up your child so you can avoid contact with others is very helpful. As well as everyone always wearing PPE.
Our daughter has been going to Busy Bees at Bristol Barrs Court since July 2019 at 12 months old. She had a few settling in sessions with her key worker and she got upset at each one however her key worker was very reassuring and comforting to me and my daughter and reassured me that she would settle in. Within 2 weeks she was happy once she got into her room with her friends. The staff in the toddler room and 2-3’s are absolutely amazing. They always tell me what kind of day she has had and will update the ParentZone app with what she has eaten and her nap times etc. The food is excellent, well balanced meals, and is cooked daily on site by the 2 lovely chefs. I feel that the Covid-19 procedures have been implemented well and with minimal disruption to the children. Face masks are to be worn at drop off and pick up. Nursery have just introduced 3 separate drop off points depending which room your child/children are in. Thank you Busy Bees for all that you do for our daughter! I would definitely recommend!
Our son joined when he was 13-months-old and we would highly recommend. He has now progressed through the age groups to pre school and when he comes out on an evening happy and excited telling us what a lovely day he has had, this tells us what a fab place Busy Bees at Bristol Barrs Court is. The staff are very friendly and supportive and have been doing an amazing job the past year with everything going on and keeping our little ones safe. Our son has gained confidence through learning and play and this is down to the amazing staff that have been there for him. We cannot thank them enough.

Meet the Team (1)
Hello my name is Diane and I am the Centre Director here at Barrs Court. I have worked within the childcare sector now for 24 years. Since starting, I have completed my level 5 in both childhood studies and Leadership and management. I have a passion for Early years and promoting a firm foundation for children to learn and develop holistically. I fully believe this is the most important stage before children embark on their next journey, to school and beyond.
During my time working with children, I have worked my way up from deputy manager to quickly being promoted to manager. I strive to be my best and continue to work towards my level 6.
Busy Bees is an advocate for future personal growth and well-being of their staff, and as importantly the health, safety and development of the children that attends the companies' settings.
