Busy Bees Wellington Road (Cheltenham)

We're really grateful for the care and support they provide and would highly recommend Busy Bees to other families.

We have been sending our children to Busy Bees for over 2 years and are very happy with them. The staff are all really lovely and our children have made special bonds with them. They take them out for little trips and plan lots of activities for them with plenty of time outdoors.

Our 2.5 year old has been at the nursery since he was a year old. Throughout our time there, staff have been very supportive with each new stage and have been so great with him! He comes home singing the songs and talking about the books they read and he loves the staff in his room!

Busy Bees have gone above and beyond for my child. We feel happy to leave him with the amazing team, and he enjoys his time there. We get regular updates and the staff are always happy to do detailed handovers at the end of the day.

My son started nursery in September 2026 and we have had a great experience so far. He is always so excited when he recognises where he is and has settled in extremely well. The staff are wonderful, the management team have gone above and beyond to get to know our little boy and his likes, and recently when we've had a bout of sickness we had a welfare call to check he was on the mend and to let us know he is missed which we found extremely thoughtful. So pleased to have our son be so happy at nursery, thank you for all you do!

Busy Bees is the best.

Overall, a brilliant nursery and so grateful and lucky our children have grown up at Busy Bees Wellington Road.

Our daughter has been attending Busy Bees for just over a year now and we are really happy with her development. Staff are friendly and efficient and if and when there are any incidents, we are informed.

Our 3-year-old son has been attending the nursery for two years and he loves it. They do lots of activities every day, take trips out into town and offered my son additional help with his speech, which he has benefitted from. All the way through, the staff have all been friendly and genuinely care about the children. Often throughout handovers, I can tell that the staff really understand my son and his unique character traits. Management has always been a pleasure to deal with. We have a 3-month-old daughter who will be attending next year. Only negative is the lack of parking but honestly, it is rare you are ever held up by another parent, so makes little difference in practice. My son is a vegetarian and has always been catered for with nice meal options. Overall, it is a lovely nursery, can't think how it could be any better.

What a truly wonderful nursery. The staff are amazing. My little girl has been going here for the past year and absolutely loves it. The love, care and education that my daughter gets is second to none. The management team are amazing and will do anything for you, they have helped us through a hard Covid year. I feel that my daughter is safe and happy and it has allowed me to work from home with the safe knowledge that my daughter is loving Busy Bees Wellington Road (Cheltenham) nursery. Thank you to the management and your wonderful wonderful team.

As soon as we had a look around the nursery I knew this nursery was perfect for our family. The nursery is beautiful and homely, the team are out of this world and couldn't do more for us or my stepson. The manager is fantastic and it's lovely to see a male manager, my stepson absolutely adores him. The app they use makes my day as they are forever sending photos and updates. The food is immense! Their talented chef hits the nail on the head with every meal. I am expecting and I'm already signing them up as this really is an outstanding nursery. I would recommend to absolutely everyone. Thank you to the amazing staff for making children's first stage of learning so incredible.

My daughter has been attending Busy Bees Wellington Road for a year now, minus when they were closed during lockdown. The staff are enthusiastic, engaged and positive, especially since the new manager came in last spring. We are consistently impressed with him, during what has been a year of turmoil and stress for the nursery and staff. He has been professional, informative, upbeat, approachable and nothing is too much to ask. Staff retention seems good. I like the use of the Parentzone app, which is updated to tell me e.g. what my child has eaten and shows photos of her doing activities. She almost always eats the meals provided and comes home happy and exhausted. Thank you, Wellington Road.

If you're looking for a nursery in Cheltenham without a doubt I'd recommend Busy Bees Wellington Road.

I would recommend to anyone.

I cannot recommend this nursery enough. The entire team is lovely, and the nursery is well looked after. My son has built his confidence by attending nursery and loves learning and exploring there. He really enjoys his time spent there and has built a great relationship with his keyworker(s) and the other staff. Additionally, they are doing a great job of dealing with current circumstances, and I feel my son is safe attending the nursery.

My nephew attended this nursery and absolutely loved his time here, activities done with the children are amazing, and the staff are so lovely and caring towards the children - my nephew had a great bond with all the staff members. The management team are amazing and so friendly, they make you feel so welcome and communicate so well. My nephew learnt so much from attending this nursery and has become so confident. The food served in this setting is also very good, very nutritious and my nephew always ate so well when at nursery. I would highly recommend this nursery!

Since COVID, the nursery have adapted very well and have taken decisive steps to reduce the risk.

My little boy has been attending for 1 year and loves to attend, we always have updates and he always leaves very happy! They've helped with his learning and always happy to encourage him to learn and do new things. I love this nursery and wouldn't take him anywhere else. The staff are amazing and always so welcoming.

My 13-month-old son started in August. The centre director and the team have been brilliant. As concerned new parents, they have communicated with us really well to keep us up to date and informed about our son. We have also been impressed by the steps taken towards safety in these uncertain times. Our son seems to really enjoy his time there and they spend a good bit of time outdoors which suits our son. Food sounds amazing too. The team are all lovely and will do whatever you need them to do to make your child’s day fun and relaxed.

I am very grateful to the staff of Wellington Road. My son loves going into nursery every day and he’s always treated well. Coming from a big city; diversity and inclusion is something we cherish and have found at this nursery. The staff treat all children and family equally and with respect. They have embraced and celebrated my son's uniqueness while nurturing his interests; as a parent that's all you want from a nursery.
