My daughter has some great time during her nursery years. She developed several skills which will help her to progress in school. She had great teachers starting with baby room until pre-school. Overall, I am happy with the support that she received. We had little incidents but not too big....

Busy Bees has been amazing! Knowing our daughter was happy, safe and cared for has made the last few years so much easier. The staff treat her like family and the fact she says her best friends are 'Lilly' 'Taylor' 'Naomi' and other teachers shows she gets lots of 1-1 time with them. Thank you so...

My son has been here since he was 9 months old and he has enjoyed every single minute. Every single member of staff over the years has been so warm and friendly and will be greatly missed by him now he takes his next step to reception at school. We have been so happy with the attentive care and they have been so good at catering for his dietary needs as he is coeliac. We have already signed our daughter up for February to start here when she is 9 months old. Thankyou!!
Busy Bees have been wonderful with Renae since she started at the age of 2. Renae's social skills have thrived whilst at the nursery and it's been lovely to watch her confidence grow.

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.

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.

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.
My 20-month-old daughter loves attending Busy Bees Burton! The staff in the first steps room are nothing short of amazing with her. They are nurturing, caring and always show genuine interest in my daughter's development and interests. I believe with this level of care shown by the staff in first...
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!

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.
