Busy Bees Wellington Road (Cheltenham)

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.

Our girls love it here. They are safe, happy and thriving. The staff are all friendly and welcoming and provide excellent care. The manager is great, very approachable and quick to respond to any queries. I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery.

A lovely nursery, with a warm welcome from the management team. The atmosphere around the nursery was filled with happy children. The staff team were very knowledgeable and could answer any questions we had. Thank you for being a lovely environment.

I am extremely happy and grateful to the staff at Busy Bees Wellington Road. My son has come on in leaps and bounds since joining this nursery. They have been amazing with him, especially with getting him to try new food which we have struggled with but he is so much easier to feed now and willing to try new food. Without their help, I believe we would still be struggling with this. His speech has continued to improve and he has amazed me with information that he has been taught when he comes home. If you are looking for a nursery that are caring and nurturing and make you feel at ease whilst you feel guilty leaving them. I highly recommend that you choose Busy Bees.

When you drop your child off each morning, you want to feel confident they have a lovely day ahead, and we absolutely do. We can’t thank the staff enough for all they do in looking after and caring for our son.

My son has been at Busy Bees Wellington Road for a few months and it was the best decision we made. He is settled and very happy and the staff are really welcoming and friendly. He is about to move up to the next stage and they have made it so easy for us. The new manager is always available for parents and he will help in any way that he can. He greets us at the door which is a nice personal touch. The children always seem to be happy. Every time we have dropped off and collected, we are always greeted with a smile and hello on first name terms. This is brilliant. The nursery and rooms are lovely and clean. The garden is ideal for the children, with enough room for them to play. There are pictures of the children and art all over the room which is lovely to see. Our little one loves going in to see his friends. Brilliant nursery and I would recommend it to anyone.
