The best nursery/preschool my two daughters have attended is Busy Bees and they have both come so far since starting there.
The staff have been so accommodating polite and caring.
Preschool room is absolutely amazing my daughter is exciting everyday she attends and has created such a bond with the teachers.

Thank you busy bees for making my girls experience at nursery/preschool such an enjoyable and caring experience.

Review from L H (Mother of Child) published on 21 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I cannot recommend Busy Bees enough. The staff are incredible and nothing is ever too much. Their communication is effective and efficient and they always work hard to answer all questions or concerns. They are so friendly and hard working and I have been thrilled with how they have supported my child from baby to toddlerhood. They clearly care for all of the children there and I have never had any concerns about the care they provide. When picking up my child, it's wonderful to hear the staff laugh as they play with the children and engage 100%, rather than just talking amongst themselves. My little boy was a shy, introverted child who was initially scared to start nursery and be away from me. He now loves nursery and runs in to see his key and friends. He loves it there and I know that every day is fun filled. Thank you to Linda and the team for providing excellent, loving and friendly care - it's such an achievement!! I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery.

Review from A W (Mother of Child) published on 21 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son has been attending Busy Bees Salisbury since November 2025, and he absolutely loves it there. From the very beginning, all of the staff have been incredibly welcoming, caring, and supportive. They always go above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and reassured.
Since starting at the nursery, we've seen such a positive change in our son's development and confidence. He has grown into such a happy, confident little boy, and it's clear how much time and effort the team put into helping every child thrive and reach their potential.

We are so grateful for everything the staff do and couldn't be happier with our experience. I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment for their child.

Review from Agata D (Mother of Child) published on 21 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We couldn't be happier with our experience at Busy Bees. My daughter has attended since the baby room and the care, support and love she has received from all the staff has been amazing from day one.
She genuinely looks forward to going every single day and has made such lovely friendships during her time there. It has been amazing to watch her confidence grow alongside the incredible progress she has made with her learning and development, especially in preparing for school.

The staff are kind, patient, caring and always go above and beyond to make every child feel safe, happy and confident. It truly feels like a second home for her and we are so grateful for all the memories, support and encouragement along the way. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a nurturing and welcoming nursery.

Overall Experience
Both my children attend here and they absolutely love going to nursery, they run in the door each morning with big smiles.
All the staff are brilliant and they make you feel at ease when droping off and send regular updates so you know your children are happy. Both my children have formed amazing bonds with their key workers!

They have learnt and grown so much in their time here, it really is a wonderful nursery to attend, I know my eldest will be sad to leave when they start school in September.

I've had a brilliant expierence with Busy Bees. My two sons attend there and they have definitely thrived. Millie, Stephen and Vickie have always be supportive and gone above and beyond their roles and are definitely brilliant attributes to this nursery. Would highly recommend, my son is always learning something new and his learnt knowledge from here has set him up a good start for school in September.

Review from Rachel C (Mother of Child) published on 16 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We have been incredibly impressed with the care and support our daughter has received at nursery. She started at just 11 months old and has come on leaps and bounds since attending, achieving and exceeding so many developmental milestones.

The staff are lovely, friendly, and genuinely caring. Communication is excellent, with detailed updates at handover and on the app that are always child-focused and reassuring.

The nursery has a strong safeguarding culture with a knowledgeable safeguarding lead, and the area centre manager/director is approachable, supportive, and encourages positive relationships with parents.

We also love the regular parents' evenings, celebrations of festivals and events, and the encouragement for children to dress up and participate. The arts and crafts brought home are always such a thoughtful touch.

We are very grateful for everything the team has done for our daughter and would highly recommend the nursery.

Review from Elena K (Mother of Child) published on 10 October 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Busy Bees on London Road has been phenomenal for our family. We have sent our three children there over the course of the last few years and the nursery has truly lived up to its "outstanding" Ofsted rating. Our youngest, who has just come to the end of his time there, has needed additional support and the whole team at Busy Bees has gone above and beyond to support him in every possible way, including giving me a sense that they have been genuinely invested in his progress. The system of giving us daily access to information on meals and activities, as well as regular photos has been great too. The whole vibe is of a safe, secure and supportive place that I have felt has been a second home to our children while we work. A huge thank you to the whole team for being such an important part of our children's childhood!

Busy Bees is an excellent nursery, where my child has thrived. She is always excited to go and play with her friends and spend time with staff. They have created an environment that is happy and safe and she comes home excited to go again. The food is varied and goes down well. The staff are amazing, they are caring and compassionate.

Overall Experience

My youngest attends Busy Bees. The staff are amazing and very approachable. My daughter has come leaps and bounds in the last ten months in terms of speech and social interaction. She has adapted to the nursery environment without any issues given that she goes full time five days a week. I attribute this to the most amazing staff.

Overall Experience

My son loves his time at nursery and really appreciates the time he spends playing in the garden area, I suspect it is rather difficult to get him off a tricycle! The food menu is varied and even as a rather picky toddler, it has always gone down well. Staff are kind and caring, learning quickly to know your child well. Activities arranged for the children seem fun and engaging as well as educational and I always look forward to the regular updates on my child's progress.

Overall Experience

Busy Bees, Salisbury is an outstanding nursery. Both my children have attended and they have both loved their time there. The staff are amazing and are so passionate about their roles and the children. I cannot recommend Busy Bees enough. My daughter leaves this year to start school, the staff have been preparing her for the transition. She cannot wait but I am sure she will miss Busy Bees, Salisbury, I know I will.

Overall Experience

Both my boys have attended here. My youngest is leaving in July and we will all be sad. Every single member of staff (including chefs) know all children and that just shows how much the children are the centre focus. I had no issues at all and would recommend this nursery to anyone. Both my boys thrived here and both love everything about it. Thank you all so much for everything- you have an awesome team.
