My son started at Busy Bees in Burton when I went back to work as a nurse. At first I was really struggling to find a nursery that what support me having different shifts every week. When I approached Busy Bees I was delighted that they would support this I was delighted. The staff are all very welcoming and there is always great communication from them. My sons key worker has been an absolute star the whole way through his time so far at Busy Bees. I am comfortable leaving my son there while I am at work I never feel like I have to worry about him. A star all round from me.
This is our third child to go to Busy Bees Burton. Even though we now live further away, we still feel the journey is worth it. All our children have thrived at this nursery, many of the staff have been there for over a decade, which speaks volumes about the environment they create. The staff at the nursery truly care about providing the best possible environment for a child's growth and development. The communication is always excellent and we would not hesitate in recommending Busy Bees Burton to anyone looking for a great nursery for their little one, they are easily the best in this area.
Our child is autistic and has attended since he was 10 months old (nearly 3 years). We have found the SENCO to be incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, who has guided us through new and difficult systems. The nursery has hosted training which we have been included in (it's been invaluable). The preschool team in particular have also been understanding and accommodating. Really love this nursery and the team.
My little boy has been here since 6 months old and I cannot fault the care he receives. He is now 2 and a half years old and loves going to nursery to see his teachers. They are always so aware of his interests and his development and have really supported us in his potty training. I would recommend this nursery to anyone wanting outstanding childcare.
My daughter has been at Busy Bees Burton nursery for around 2 years now. They have been amazing with her, really making me feel at ease. They provide constant updates throughout the day regarding her meals and nappy changes, as well as any photos. My daughter has created such special bonds with the staff members, I couldn't recommend them enough! Her development and confidence has come on huge amounts since attending Busy Bees.
The management team have also been great! As a first-time mum, it was always going to be an anxious time sending my little one to nursery but the care and reassurance I received from them was amazing! Any questions I have, they are always on hand and willing to answer them, and do so with confidence, their passion for the nursery really shines through!
My daughter really enjoys the nursery and during her recent 2 year development check, excelled at all the milestones and this is a big thanks to all the activities and learning she does at nursery. The nursery team are always welcoming and friendly and both my daughters have loved attending. I would recommend them in a heartbeat.
Never have felt worried about my child's safety here. Definitely recommend.
My daughter has attended since 7 months old and is now 2 and a half years old. She has always been well looked after, enjoys going every single day. Always a variety of age-appropriate activities and lots of opportunities for parents to attend activities. The staff have been amazing, encouraging her with potty training. Couldn't ask for more.
Kind and caring staff towards our son. They all take an interest in how he is getting on and developing. Our son enjoys coming in and playing with his friends. Good activities to keep them occupied with plenty of drawings and paintings coming home on the evenings. Only negative is the car park. The car park needs lines painting for the bays along with trimming the bushes back so cars aren't parked against the bush.
Our daughter loves nursery - she has come on leaps and bounds since starting and its clear that she is being taught key skills when she is there. The staff are always friendly and patient and happy to share information on her day/development. Thanks guys
We asked our child what she thought she said 'its good' and her favourite is 'Naomi' :)
We have had no issues at all with nursery. My daughter enjoys her time here and talks about her teachers all of the time at home. We will be sending our son within the year as well when old enough and look forward to seeing him progress.
A lovely setting, with lots of new and exciting opportunities to explore. The staff have always been very helpful during my daughters time with them. My daughters room lead/key worker is amazing and I could not fault the care she offers my daughter. Alongside other staff within the room, they have always been amazing and want the best for the children. As my daughter suffers with medical needs/conditions, the staff have always been on board and willing to work alongside me to make things better, with lots of reassurance. She enjoys her time within the nursery and is always happy to come the next day!
After the complaints investigation was concluded I was told there was a 'mix up on handover'. Where are your physical logs for nappy changes? If you weren't sure she had been changed why not change her just in case to avoid the blatant neglect of my child that then ensued? If I'd turned up at the nursery with my little girl in that state you'd have rang social services due to the level of neglect and rightly so!
I've spent months deciding whether to publish this review but on reflection, if I were a prospective parent looking to send my child somewhere for childcare, I'd want to know this sort of thing had gone on behind closed doors.
Busy Bees at Burton is a fantastic nursery. The staff are friendly, caring, experienced and well-trained. Our child started going to the nursery at 13 months old and is now 2 and a half years old. She has been very happy at the nursery and developed so well. The team at the nursery work hard to provide fun and engaging activities for the children. Thank you so much to all the team at Busy Bees Burton.
Every member of staff that we have communicated with at Busy Bees Burton has been professional, friendly and welcoming. We are always greeted warmly on arrival and my child is always happy attending daycare here. Although my child has moved up the rooms, all the staff remember my child's name and make an effort to talk to us, remembering their journey through the younger years. The range of available activities is great and my child regularly takes part in football. Any queries are also quickly answered/addressed. I would highly recommend this nursery.
Overall, a wonderful nursery with the loveliest staff. We attended the Christmas fair this weekend and had a great time playing and buying from the stalls. I know my daughter is in good hands and has the best time every time she's here.
The staff are absolutely amazing. She has learned so much while being there and absolutely loves it. They are very professional and you can clearly see they do their work the best they can. The facilities are always in excellent condition and very clean. They have good rules and policies to make sure the little ones are safe and happy. They are constantly making activities to encourage learning at different stages. She always comes home with something nice that she done in the day.
The quality of the food is amazing and there is a menu set for everyday so you know exactly what your they are eating. They use the app where everything is registered. From nappies to how well they eat; in addition, they also put a lot of pictures of your child where you can see she is enjoying herself while you are at work.
Overall I honestly believe this is the best nursery in the area. Thank you for the amazing work!
The best place to send your child. Staff are all fantastic. The place is immaculate and our little girl learns so much. We could not be happier with our experience here. Our child has just turned 4 and has attended since 9 months old and not once have we had a bad word to say. Well done Busy Bees Burton. You are all brilliant.
Amazing nursery with great staff who care about the little people they care for. A truly special time and I am confident he is well looked after and safe. I cannot recommend Busy Bees, Burton highly enough.
