Busy Little Bees day nursery is located in Shirley, Solihull. It is easily accessible by car or on foot and is moments from the Haslucks Green Road bus stops.
Each child has a dedicated key person to monitor their progress, development and care.
The children are grouped by age. Bumble Bees, for babies aged up to 24 months, provides a sensory environment with activities such as stories, singing and messy play. Babies also have outdoor play and a cosy sleeping area.
The Honey Bees room, for children aged 24 to 36 months, is where children begin to expand their imagination with messy play, creating things with play dough, sand and water. At the nursery, children get involved in role-play, learn about nature and enjoy free-flow play into the multi-sensory garden.
Busy Bees is for children aged 30 to 36 months. They learn about nature and cooking while enjoying messy play and plenty of outdoor activities in the Busy Bees garden. Adjacent to this is the Honey Pot room, the pre-school area for children aged from 40 months to five years. In preparation for school life, the team follow the EYFS framework to build each child’s independence and imagination, as well as their communication and social, physical and emotional development.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I honestly would. Two of my children have attended this nursery and I have been beyond pleased with the experience we have had. The staff have been so attentive towards my children, handovers everyday are so thorough and they genuinely go to lengths to cater for the children. Both my children come home and have nothing but good stories to share of their day. My sons speech has come such a long way since attending Busy little bees and I can see the difference in his confidence. Brilliant nursery and go glad we made the decision to send them here.

My son loves going there and at 18 months is able to say the practitioners names and happily enters the nursery each day to see his friends. Regular updates on the fun activities they provide each day are fantastic and the actual setting is beautiful and very clean! Would recommend to anyone.

My son has been going here since he was just over 12 months old. He has learnt a lot while being here the staff are very good with him and have helped him transition easily all the way through all the rooms. He always tells me about the stuff he's learnt about in the day and always says he's had a good day. Now that he is in older preschool he is really enjoying going to the library and forest school. I'd like to thank the staff for trying their best as I know it's not easy taking care of many children at once. Rayyans mom- busy little bees Shirley

We really love Busy Little Bees Shirley. The effort that goes in to such a variety of activites for the kids is amazing, and hits a really wide spectrum of skills and experiences for them too. It is a lovely environment, very family orientated with how the various rooms can integrate and the updates and feedback from staff are always so detailed. We had our youngest start this year, and they provided really bespoke settle in sessions to help him ease in to it all which worked perfectly, it all adds to a very personable and nurturing nursery. Couldn't reccommend more.
We're really pleased to hear you've had such a positive experience at Busy Little Bees Shirley, especially with the settling-in sessions for your youngest. Supporting each child and family in a nurturing, individual way is so important to us.
Fantastic nursery with the most wonderful and caring staff! My daughter has been at Busy Little Bees since she was 9 months old and absolutely loves her time there-I will be very sad when she leaves in the summer to start school.

Thank you for your lovely feedback, little lady will be very missed when she leaves in the summer. We know she will be an absolute shinning star wherever she goes.

My daughter started this nursery when she was 6 months old. She has grown so much in confidence due to the staff there. She does not eat pork and can only drink oat milk as too much dairy makes her constipated, the nursery was happy to accommodate this. My husband phones everyday which the nursery are happy for him to do. She did have a bit of a wobble last Christmas and New year due to staff changes and key workers leaving however they changed staff around so that she had the same staff from when she was in baby room to help settle her.
They always strive to make my daughter happy and encourage her to be confident and more outspoken, which we have definitely noticed at home!
The only negative I would give is that sometimes the app is not always up to date but they are always at the end of the phone if you need to speak to the key worker.
I would definitely recommend this nursery if you feel anxious about your baby/child starting nursery.

I would like to start by saying that this nursery has been absolutely outstanding for my child. They have always provided all the care and support she needs, and I will forever be grateful for everything they have done. I'm truly sad that my child has to leave this year.

Busy bees is such a wonderful nursery, the staff care so much about the children. As a mother of a 1 year old my little one is in the baby room, he has come on leaps and bounds since attending nursery. They focus heavily on his development skills, including gross and fine motor skills, by giving...
They encourage learning around all different types of topics but also respect any specific individual learning you feel they can support, for example at the moment for us it is using cutlery whilst eating. I feel very listened to and welcomed by the staff at busy bees and I am grateful for the constant communication they give me as a parent. I also think their level of CPD is exceptional as they go above and beyond to make sure they are keeping my little one safe with the most up to date research and trainings.

Currently, we have three children (a girl and twin boys) who attend this nursery and we have an older child who attended from Jan 2022 to July 2023. Busy Little Bees is a wonderful nursery with wonderful staff. Our children are flourishing in the nursery and we have seen them hit their development milestones due to the care and attention they receive from the nursery staff. The nursery is spacious, with a wonderful little garden, the preschool attends the local forest school and library and the babies/toddlers have excellent stimulation and activities to keep busy. All the nursery staff are attentive, well trained and really helpful if you have any concerns. Overall, my wife and I would wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to parents.

The staff are so caring and patient, and genuinely care for my son and his well-being at all times. His key worker is particularly fantastic and has taught him some brilliant new skills whilst he's been there. They manage his dairy allergy brilliantly and are regularly checking in for any changes or updates.
