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!
Absolutely appalling neglect of my 18mo whilst she attended this nursery. Turned up to pick her up and she came running over to me absolutely stinking of her own poo and wee. She was soaked through. She'd been left in the same nappy the entire time she was in Busy Bees Burton's care and left to sit...
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.

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...

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.

We attended the summer fayre on 30th July 2022. There were plenty of stalls and a sausage shack with tasty food. My son loved seeing paw patrol make an appearance too. The staff members always make a lot of effort and are great with the kids.

My daughter has been at Busy Bees Burton since April 2022 and I cannot fault the nursery. The staff are all lovely and very welcoming. Since attending she has come out of her shell and will interact more with other people. Would recommend Busy Bees Burton to anyone needing a nursery.

I cannot recommend Busy Bees at Burton, enough. The staff are all so lovely and the relationships with the children are what makes it so good. My son often comes home and talks about his day and the amazing activities. This along with regular daily updates including photos and developmental updates. As a full time working parent, this really means I can relax knowing my son is well cared for when he is not with me. Also, the open days and handovers at the end of the day are great to get the parents involved. Nothing negative to say about this nursery whatsoever. Keep doing a great job and thank you!

Overall, from the outside, this is a great nursery. The team are lovely, smiley and they come across fun and loving. The management team are always very nice and accommodating. My child has been there for over two months and they love it, always happy to see the team and go into the nursery. They are talking more and I know they are learning lots there and today they were singing the days of the week. So happy, with my child’s progress, the team and the app.
It is a lovely nursery. All the staff are outstanding and are all polite. I could not recommend this nursery enough to anyone. My experience has always been amazing. I have never had any concerns about leaving my little girl here.

Can’t praise Busy Bees at Burton highly enough. The staff are lovely and friendly, they clearly have a genuine passion for their work and for the children. Our son loves coming here and has done from when he was a baby.

Busy Bees at Burton made us feel very confident and comforted with our son joining their nursery, and were very eager to learn about our son to make his transition easy. He absolutely loves going each morning and has developed a great bond with both of his keyworkers. Staff have ensured our son is happy, engaged, comforted and has fun. We love seeing his updates and the photos uploaded. Communication is excellent and the food he has is also amazing. We are very pleased with how well our son has settled into nursery and have seen him come on so beautifully since joining.

My child has been attending nursery for the last 16 months and I'm very pleased with the care received. Any issues are dealt with quickly and efficiently by management and staff. My child is always very happy and loves going to the nursery. She is learning far more than I could ever give her at home. The staff always have the time to discuss my childs progress and were brilliant at helping me as a mum adjust to going back into work in the early days.
Our daughter is always happy to come to nursery. The staff have always been supportive and welcoming and have dealt with any concerns quickly and professionally. The food is far better than in other nurseries we have been to; healthier and more appetising.
