Overall Experience

We love Busy Bees Uttoxeter and the caring, dedicated staff who work there. Both of our children have thrived there and been dearly cared for by the staff. They have been fantastic in managing our youngest child's food allergy and his developmental support needs.

Review from H S (Mother of Child) published on 2 April 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We honestly couldn't be happier with this nursery! From day one, the staff have been so kind, welcoming, and caring, which made such a difference when settling in our 1-year-old.

It's such a lovely, safe, and cheerful environment, with lots of fun activities that are perfect for little ones. We've really noticed our child becoming more confident and curious, which has been amazing to see.

The team always keeps us updated, which we really appreciate - so reassuring knowing our little one is happy and well looked after during the day.

You can tell the staff truly care about each child, and that means everything to us. We'd absolutely recommend this nursery to any parents looking for a warm and nurturing place for their little one!

Review from Chloe W (Mother of Child) published on 2 April 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son has attended nursery here for over a year now and adores it. He has great relationships with all of his carers and feels comfortable with them. I feel safe to leave him in their care and they always make contact if there's any incident or queries.
The staff take a lot of care in making the children's days special and make sure they're doing different activities every day.
My son quite literally runs into nursery every day excited to see his new friends and the staff. He eats a varied diet at nursery which is great as it allows him to taste lots of different foods.
I'm very satisfied with the nursery and I'm glad I found somewhere that he loves and that I'm confident in sending him.
The app is also great, I love to keep updated about his day and see all the lovely photos.

Big thank you to the lovely ladies at Busy Bee's Uttoxeter

Lovely Nursery with a cosy home-from-home feeling. My son absolutely loves it here. The ladies are all very pleasant and easy to speak to. As I spoke to my son's room supervisor about something I was concerned about and she helped me greatly.

Our son has been at Busy Bees since he was 18 months old. He took to it really well, better than I ever thought he would and is now nearly moving up to preschool! He loves going to nursery and seeing his friends and the lovely staff that take good care of him!

Review from G S (Mother of Child) published on 14 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Choosing a nursery is always a daunting thing, but all of the staff at Busy Bees are extremely welcoming. From the moment you arrive at the door for your first visit to the moment that your child is ready to leave for school, they do the utmost to care for and listen to your and your child’s needs. My daughter attended here from ten months old to three years old, and all of the staff were absolutely amazing with her. They truly cared for her as if she was their own, and she loved getting up to go to nursery in the morning and her development when leaving was fantastic! The learning activities are tailored to each child’s different developmental stages and are always exciting! Lots of fantastic communication with parents via the app. We cannot wait for our second child to start at Busy Bees and know that he is getting cared for by all of the lovely staff. Best nursery hands down!

Review from Jasmine K (Mother of Child) published on 28 July 2022 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

For any parent, one of the hardest choices is ensuring when you can't be there, the next best thing is that we feel so lucky that our daughter is at Busy Bees, Uttoxeter. I honestly feel that the care is definitely outstanding! Our daughter has had some extra support with a few things while at nursery and it hasn't been a problem for the girls and management, they have gone above and beyond and the hard work is noticed by us both. We also love the bond our daughter has with her keyworker. In a morning we say to her " Shall we find your keyworker" and she says "Yes", with the biggest smile and that as any parent is the best feeling, knowing that they are happy and well cared for.

Review from Hannah D (Mother of Child) published on 6 May 2022 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Our son really enjoys his days at nursery. He's been attending for three months and has settled in well and bonded with his key person. The app is a great way to keep up to date with his progress and communicate with staff when needed. The outdoors space is well laid out and equipped, hopefully, he will be able to play outside more often now the weather is improving. He eats well, and the range of food seems to suit his taste the majority of the time. The staff are very informative and friendly, and the nursery is well managed with regular communications/updates with parents. The day rate is on the more expensive side (even with the discount). Other than that, we are happy overall with the level of care and our experience to date.

My son always enjoys nursery and has made many friends there. He has learnt so much through nursery - especially speech. All the pre-school ladies are kind, approachable and professional. I would recommend Busy Bees to anyone as our experience has been so positive.

We have2 children that attend Busy Bees and we are more than happy with the care, friendliness and compassion that the staff show towards our children.
Both children love going and we feel that the staff care for them as if they were their own.

They do a range of activities and we are regularly updated via the app and at the end of each day. Throughout the pandemic, staff have still smiled, been professional and gone above and beyond. Thank you.

Overall Experience

Each morning when I drop my little boy off I am always greeted by a smiley happy member of staff who knows my little boy's name. He enters with a huge smile on his face and has massively grown in confidence since starting in September thanks to the wonderful caring staff. Any requests are never too much. I couldn't think of a more welcoming and loving environment to send my most precious loved little bot to. Thank you so much for everything you do. Busy Bees Uttoxeter you are amazing!

I now have my second child at Busy Bees Uttoxeter. Both children are very different yet their needs have been met to an excellent standard in both cases. My youngest is currently attending and absolutely loves coming. The staff are friendly and caring, and a wide range of engaging activities tailored to the child are delivered. Management are supportive and easy to approach. I welcome the addition of Parent View to help communication in these challenging times.

Overall Experience

My son started in the pre-school group in January. The staff, particularly the teacher, have been fantastic at helping him to settle in and keeping me informed about how his day has been. The kitchen staff are flexible with my child's fussy needs but use innovative ways to get him to try new things. Can't wait for the summer when he can enjoy the lovely outdoor area even more than he does already! All staff I have come into contact with have been fantastic.

My granddaughter attended the nursery since she was 14 months old and left this April. She thoroughly enjoyed her time there and made lots of friends. The staff were always polite and helpful and were interested in sharing what my granddaughter had done and achieved. Thank you so much you are all amazing.

Review from C B (Mother of Child) published on 26 March 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Our two daughters have both attended Midway Academy and we couldn't have been happier with the love and care given to us all.
The staff are fantastic - so kind and caring whilst firm, encouraging good behaviours in the children.
Our girls have always had so much fun at Midway, whilst at the same time, learning lots.
This is especially true in the preschool room where dancing, French lessons, baking, IT were all regular fixtures (along with excellent activities on phonics and numeracy, making moving on to school very easy).

Thank you to the wonderful team at Midway - we couldn't have asked for more and strongly recommend the setting to all prospective families.

After 3 years of using Midway/Treetops/Busy Bees, I couldn't be happier with the care and support they provide my daughter. The staff are welcoming, they really do love all the children and always listen and chat when I pick up. Well done.
