Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started Busy Bees in October 2024. We knew this was the best place for our daughter as our eldest spent 3yrs at busy bees before starting school and loved it
Fantastic building and garden, plenty of space for children to explore.
The staff are professional, friendly, supportive, creative
and caring.
My daughter has Down Syndrome so needs additional support which has never been an issue.
Since starting nursery she has learnt to sit up, roll, eat solid food, clap, chat away and interact with other children/staff.
I love seeing the updates and photos of what she gets upto during the day.

A fantastic nursery with amazing staff. Our children have developed so much thanks to busy bees. Minor updates would be the kids toilets and day rate is very high, which post covid has increased year on year (+£90 day from est £75 only 3 years ago)

Our daughter has just started with Busy Bees and the team have been so kind and welcoming both with her and also us as parents, keeping us regularly updated with how she's getting on on the app and with phone calls so we feel at ease.
It is a very calm environment where children are happy and well
looked after. You can tell on pick up and drop off that the little ones are enjoying themselves and are happy to be there. The team have created a fantastic learning experience with books and displays all across the centre, so there is always something interesting for children to engage with and enjoy. The food is also really high quality and varied and healthy which was very important to us. We are really happy with the experience so far! Many thanks to the team.

Our children have loved being at Busy Bees. We have had all 3 of our daughters attend, 2 currently still there. We all absolutely love it! The staff continously show so much care, to not only the kids, but to the parents too. They are all so kind and considerate.
We couldn't fault every staff member
at Busy Bees Leamington Spa and so thankful for the care they continue to show our children. Thanks again!

The nursery is brilliant. A wonderful welcoming atmosphere with lovely staff. Having updates via the app enables us as grandparents to have more insight into our granddaughter's care than we thought possible. It's clear to us that she is well cared for and nurtured at Busy Bees. Her daily menu surpasses
our food on a regular basis! Information shared beforehand, enables us to know what activities lie ahead and gives us the opportunity to support her learning. All in all, I can't fault it and just grateful that we've found a nursery that is so good for our precious girl.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My toddler started at Busy Bees in September 2024, and I honestly couldn't be happier with the care and support we've received. From day one, the team made the settling-in process so smooth and reassuring, both for my child and for me as a parent.


The staff are warm, patient, and genuinely invested

in the children's wellbeing. My little one has come on leaps and bounds since joining - their confidence has grown, their speech has developed, and they're always excited to go in the morning. It's such a relief to know they're safe, happy, and engaged in activities that nurture their learning and creativity.


Communication is excellent too. I always feel up to date on my child's progress and daily routines, which really puts my mind at ease.


Busy Bees has truly been outstanding with my toddler, and I'm so grateful to the team for creating such a caring and fun environment. I couldn't recommend them more highly!

Our eldest has just graduated from pre-school this year having spent over 3 years at Busy Bees Leamington and our youngest has spent his first few months here also. The team at Busy Bees Leamington are nothing short of fantastic! Our experience has been excellent. The team's genuine care and consideration
to child development has meant that our eldest absolutely thrived here and we have no doubt the experience will be the same for our youngest. Every team member we have met in relation to our children have been warm and genuinely motivated to ensure our children's health and happiness. The management team are also incredibly supportive and hands on. We have experienced some ill health with our youngest and they have done everything possible to support us for which we are incredibly grateful. Thank you Busy Bees Leamington!

Where to begin... my son along with my older two boys have all attended busy bees and have all had a fantastic experience. The staff are the most amazing people and so friendly. My kids loved going and my son has another fun filled year to attend until he starts school he is my last so unfortunately
when he leaves that is our journey with this amazing place over but I don't doubt I will see the staff out and about and they're always so kind and welcoming when we have seen them outside of the setting. What a wonderful place to be able to work and have your children attend! Cannot thankyou all enough for how much you have supported me and my boys over the years.

Our little boy started nursery in April 2025 and busy bees have been nothing short of amazing. From the first time we walked around to the settling in days we knew this was the right place for him to spend his days without his mummy and daddy! Our little boy has Down syndrome and is also fed through
a feeding tube. The manager and her colleagues have been so fantastic in their professionalism, positivity and can do approach regarding all of his daily needs. As soon as they answer the door in the morning the smiles and friendliness from everyone makes us feel like so welcomed and ready for the day. His key workers spend so much time supporting him and celebrating all of his successes along the way. We get regular updates throughout the day with pictures which allow us to see his special moments and little school reports every few months! They have accommodated to his every need and we have seen such a massive change in his development and social skills! Can't wait to watch him grow up.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I had my first child in 2018 and twins in 2021. All three kids have been nurtured under the caring, professional and compassionate canopy of Busy Bees Leamington. We live within a 5 min drive and 20 min walk to the nursery which makes it both accessible and easy to reach.
They have well thought and
planned developmental activities for my kids. With my first child I initially had a part time structure in place, but quickly realized that she was comfortable and more happy learning and playing amongst her peers, so decided to go back to a more full time setting.
In 2021, I was blessed with twins and took very little time in placing them under the care and leadership of the centre director and the team at Busy Bees, full time. This enabled me and still does allow me to work almost a full time shift at work, support my children, attend all their special moments and milestones like sports days, bake offs while still retaining my professional and career aspirations.
The centre director n BB Leam team are 7* for us!

My children have been attending this nursery since 2021. They have both loved their time here. I will be sad for my eldest to leave.
The staff are really great and what make the place so lovely. It's been the same staff members since we joined, so we have become really familiar with them.
They
give a great round up of the day and share things on the app.
The ideas they come up with and curriculum they follow for Early years is brilliant and keeps them engaged. They've learnt so much from being here, it's been so beneficial to their development and social skills. Thank you.

Our son has been at Busy Bees Leamington since he was 10 months old, and as he gets ready to leave at age four, we can honestly say that the experience has been nothing short of wonderful. From day one, the staff have been kind, nurturing, and incredibly supportive-not just to our son, but to us as
a family.
They have played such an important role in his development, helping him grow into a confident, curious, and happy little boy. We have always felt completely at ease knowing he's in safe, trustworthy hands. The communication is brilliant, the environment is warm and engaging, and we've never once had a moment of doubt about the care he receives. We are so grateful to this setting, to the directors and all the wonderful staff that have made this such an unforgettable experience for us as a family. THANK YOU.

Amazing place, wonderful staff and great facilities. I cannot fault it. My little girl has learnt so much, made lovely friends and had great bonds with the staff. The centre manager is amazing and all of the staff seem to really care and put lots of effort into making sure the children have fun activities
to do and have a great day.
My only gripe is the cost. I suppose you get what you pay for but it is seriously, ludicrously expensive.

My child really enjoys attending Busy Bees, and he settled straight away. He has benefitted from being around others his age in a nurturing environment, developing his eating and social skills.
The staff are so bright and cheery in the mornings which is a lovely welcome and sets out the culture very
clearly.

We've seen both our children go through Busy Bees and the staff throughout have been amazing.
All the staff thrive to make the experience personalised for the kids and that shows in how much our kids have loved the setting and the staff.
The facility, activities and staff have made the transition
into nursery and out for school as painless as it can be for our family.
Cannot praise the current management enough, always looking to be helpful and support finding solutions.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The Leamington Spa Busy Bees is the best of all the nurseries. I have never regretted that we made this decision for our son when he was 6 year old. Surely, it'll be a hard transition from this place to the reception when my son starts school next year. I am firstly thankful to the manager who's a terrific
manager that always made me feel like my son is in professional, caring hands. Then, also grateful to all the staff who are all amazing and supportive from the beginning. Since day 1, they've provided an amazing care, concern and support for which we're all grateful. My son developed loads of good skills in the nursery and as a first-time mum I felt I was supported by the experience of staff as well when I needed. It's so so good from many aspects. Definitely a great place for children to develop their learning skills, enjoy their first few years in good care, love and entertainment.

My daughter has been there for 6 months and has settled incredibly well, they do varied activities, eat nutritionally balanced meals and are settled down for well-needed naps. I get valuable feedback at the end of the day and I can see how her day is going by checking the app.
The manager is always
on hand if you have any questions or concerns and clearly has a great way of managing as all the staff are always so happy and clearly love their job!
Keep up the great work Busy Bees Leamington Spa!

Having moved from another setting in September 2023 due to relocation, I am so very pleased with the manager and the team at Busy Bees Leamington.
I was worried my 20-month-old wouldn’t settle in the new nursery, moving so young and only being in the previous setting a few months prior to relocating.
I had zero worries after her first settling-in session!
The team are fantastic, her key workers have helped her settle in amazingly. Considering she has only been there a few months and only goes once a week, you wouldn’t know that! She is so settled and enjoys going to nursery.
The outdoor space and facilities are fabulous. We have had several activities bought home including baking, artwork and prints!
Management within the setting are welcoming and approachable which makes a huge difference to the whole experience too. From the first communication on booking a visit through to day-to-day nursery communication, I have zero complaints. The updates are prompt on the app too!

My son first started in the 6-12 months baby class, and since then he has been really enjoying his days in the nursery. All class team and management are really doing their best for the kids to nurture their development and care for them really well. All the activities they do for the kids are really
good for them, and they love it. There is always something for them to enjoy their days while they are learning lots. The facilities are enough, but the outside playground is a little outdated; it would be good to be renewed and a forest school would be a good addition for the kids.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.930)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.930) out of 10 for Busy Bees Leamington Spa is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.930 for Busy Bees Leamington Spa is calculated as follows: ( (282 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 300 Ratings = 4.93
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Busy Bees Leamington Spa is based on 25 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 122 number of registered child places is 24.4, which has been reached with 25 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
