Review from Jo S (Mother of Child) published on 24 May 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Fantastic nursery setting.
All the staff are very friendly, caring and provide a great variety of activities and learning.
There is always focus on events e.g Easter, world book which the children love to get involved in.
My child loves his time at Busy Bees and is very happy in this setting.

Great management and communication.

Overall Experience

Our daughter has attended Busy Bees for almost a year, spending all of that time in the under two's room. We've been delighted by the development she has made, the care that is taken and the updates that we get over the app and in person each day.

Review from A H (Mother of Child) published on 16 March 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Excellent doesn't cover it. My two have been going to nursery at Busy Bees since they were 9 months old and they are nearly three years old. They love going, the staff are really great with the twins and always telling me about their day when I or a family member collect them. Twins even talk about some of the staff when we are at home, so they are a big part of the children's early life. Always happy to help and my two normally just run on in happy to be with their little friends. If ever I have to talk to anyone, they are happy to and are happy and helpful. Great job! My sister has just had a daughter and she sometimes collects the twins and she's going to be sending her daughter to Busy Bees. Would recommend to everyone.

Review from Lauren H (Mother of Child) published on 10 March 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My child has got additional needs he’s autistic. The team has worked with a specialist nursery and has made sure he has all the support in place. They have even created a sensory room for him. He is very happy every day going to the nursery and they have supported him in every aspect especially communication with the use of visuals and pecs. Just a brilliant nursery with so much support to offer to the kids.

My child has been with Busy Bees Salisbury since she was 9 months old and has loved her time with the team.

They are currently preparing her for school and you can really see the progress. A special shout-out to one particular member of staff who I think is a real asset to the team.

My son used to go to Busy Bees, and loved it, now my daughter does and loves it too. The nursery is clean, very secure, well equipped. The staff are lovely, and they teach the kids well, plus you get reports through via an app. Great nursery.

Review from Sinead S (Mother of Child) published on 27 May 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our son joined Busy Bees in Salisbury for pre-school after moving to the area. The staff helped him adjust to the move incredibly well. He is very happy and really enjoys going to nursery. The staff are wonderful, in particular our son’s key worker. The range of activities they do is great and there is an emphasis on playing outside when the weather allows. We have also noticed an increase in activities that will prepare the children for school in September. I happily recommend Busy Bees to other families.

Overall Experience

The team at Busy Bees provide outstanding early years learning environment for our children. In addition to the high-quality learning activities provided on a daily basis for the children, they have supported our need for a flexible approach to the children's scheduled sessions to accommodate the shift based nature of our work. Furthermore, the team has been committed to ensuring the allergen based needs of one of our children are controlled through the menu provided. We would highly recommend the centre to other parents.

Review from Caroline C (Mother of Child) published on 10 May 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I have two children currently at Busy Bees in Salisbury and we have been going there since 2018. All the staff are so caring, friendly and patient. My son loves the days he goes to nursery and always seems reluctant to come home. My daughter has only just started and has settled really well. In particular, Busy Bees in Salisbury have been absolutely amazing over the last year, staying open during the whole Covid-19 pandemic. They have gone to every effort to make things safe for everyone whilst still providing a fun environment for the kids. Being able to still attend nursery when everything else was closed was such a relief as it meant the kids continued to get that much needed social contact and made a hard time that little bit easier. I would highly recommend Busy Bees at Salisbury to anyone looking for a nursery.

My son has been attending Busy Bees since he was 10 months old he has just turned 3 he has genuinely enjoyed every age group he has been in. The staff are lovely and he has had a good relationship with every key worker he has had. I would defiantly recommend Busy Bees to a friend. Our son also has food allergies which have been managed really well.

Thank you.

Review from Jennie J (Mother of Child) published on 27 March 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We have been delighted by the whole team at Busy Bees in Salisbury. We had to switch childcare settings at very short notice at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. The team at Busy Bees in Salisbury were fantastic, both children settled incredibly quickly and were immediately happier than at their original setting which I am confident was because of the wonderful support and attention they received in those early days. Our experience has gone from strength to strength since. Busy Bees in Salisbury facilitate a fantastic programme of activities which combine fun and education perfectly. The team have a superb knowledge of the individual characteristics and needs of our children, ensuring they can bring the best out in each. The staff are incredibly professional, caring and motivated and always take time to explain what our children have been doing and why. Furthermore, the healthy meals cooked on site are varied and tasty. We are absolutely delighted with Busy Bees in Salisbury and recommend it wholeheartedly to other families.

Overall Experience

Our son really enjoys going to nursery at Busy Bees in Salisbury which makes leaving him for the day so much easier. He has had great relationships with his key workers and enjoys all of the toys and activities available. There is a great outdoor space and we have also been impressed by the catering. We really like the app, which keeps us updated on what he has been doing during the day. We have recommended the nursery to other people we know.

My one year old loves coming here and gets all excited when we pull up in the car. The staff are all fantastic and have really helped with my little boys development. We joined in the middle of the pandemic and the team have been fantastic at keeping parents informed of any cases or new rules within the nursery. I have nothing but praise and thanks to all the staff for taking care of my little man.

My son loves going to Busy Bees. All of the staff are extremely welcoming and go above and beyond to make sure he is cared for. He always comes home and shares his experiences and speaks about the other children and staff. This is extremely reassuring, as I know he has had a lovely day. Would highly recommend.

Review from Corinne L (Mother of Child) published on 8 February 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I cannot thank all the staff at Busy Bees in Salisbury enough for the care they have provided my son with. He has been there now for almost 4 years and will be leaving this September for school. It will be so sad to have to say goodbye. The staff are kind, patient, friendly and knowledgeable and my son does not stop talking about how much he enjoys his time there, especially playing out in the garden area.

I always found it hard to go off to work and say goodbye to my little boy, but knowing he is in safe hands and has so much fun makes it easier. He has learnt so much during his time here and the staff have been a big part of his life. I will always be grateful to everyone at Busy Bees for the excellent job that they do and would highly recommend them to any parent looking for childcare.

Overall Experience

Busy Bees has always been a fantastic nursery. My eldest son attended the nursery 7-years go and really loved it there. The classes and the garden have all sorts of toys, never a dull day for the kids. The staff are so lovely with the children, and that is why I couldn’t take my youngest son anywhere else apart from Busy Bees.

My little boy loves attending Busy Bees. The people who work there are very caring and always put the needs of the children first.
They have great resources and space, both indoors and outdoors.
My son will go to school next September and I feel already that they are preparing him for that with activities such as mark making and counting.

He has made good friendships at Busy Bees both with children and staff.
