About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- Working parents of children aged 9 months to 2 years can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery stretches funded hours across 51 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 51 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 22.4 hours are covered each week. Hours beyond this, including the early and late parts of the day, are charged at the standard rate.
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

We consider the Busy Bee Day Nursery to be a safe environment for our son. His key worker and the rest of the staff are friendly and we have confidence they are providing the best care. This is a reflection in our son enjoying nursery and telling us "he had fun!" We appreciate the nursery taking the children to different places and getting them outside.
I'm very pleased with Busy Bee Day Nursery I have had my eldest go here and now my second daughter goes. They have helped a lot with her speech and communication. I'm looking forward to sending my son (7months) in the future. I know all my children are well looked after by the team.

It's always worrying when leaving your children with someone else to look after. I have a 1 year old and two year old that having been coming to Busy Bees South Normanton since September 2015. At the time my youngest was only 11 months old, it's hard to leave them at such a young age. I can...
It's always worrying when leaving your children with someone else to look after. I have a 1 year old and two year old that having been coming to Busy Bees South Normanton since September 2015. At the time my youngest was only 11 months old, it's hard to leave them at such a young age. I can honestly say that I feel that all the staff here take very good care of my two boys. They come away smiling and happy and I know they are learning and developing at the same time. At the end of each day you get a report of what they eaten, how much sleep they've had and what they have been doing during their day. This is great to keep us mums informed but it is also great to talk through your child's day with them (if they're old enough). Every single member of staff here is lovely and I feel happy when dropping the boys off that they are cared for. If you need advice they are there to help with this too as between them all, they have a lot of experience. I would definitely recommend this nursery.
Thank you so much for this wonderful feedback. I will pass the feedback on to the staff team
The staff are always friendly and helpful. It's our first, and they gave us tips, info and support. Our daughter really enjoys it, and the learning structure is very good. The outside space is great and will be lovely in the summer.

The setting is of a good size with a spacious outside area for the children to play and explore.

My daughter has been at Busy Bees for 4 months now and loves it! She was 16 months when she started settled in very quickly and is confident with the staff. She learns so much during her 2 days a week and often comes home knowing a new word and has even taught me the actions to nursery rhymes! The staff are excellent and very friendly and I would recommend the nursery to anyone.

I take my grandson on a regular basis. The staff are friendly, helpful and sympathetic. If my grandson is not having too good a day I tell them, and they are so good with him. When he first started nursery he was and still can be quite overwhelmed. They quickly put him at ease giving him and us reassurance, so we knew when we left him he would be okay, which means a lot and gives us peace of mind. Nothing is ever too much trouble and they are very accommodating.

I've found that Busy Bee Nursery and all the staff have helped my daughter come along with lots of things and improved with her speech since being here.

The child care is exceptional at Busy Bees Nursery. My son is learning many more words and good social behaviour. The pre-school room is a great place for him and he loves going to play and learn with his friends.

Our two year old daughter has really loved going so much so that she didn't want to come home at the end of the day! The facilities are excellent with a lovely garden at the back. We would just like to say a big thank you to everyone at the nursery!
My son loves attending here, he has a great time with at his friends, and is always reluctant to leave the fun at the end of the day. I'd recommend to any parents to bring there children here. It's always been a pleasure attending.

My son has massively benefitted from attending nursery. He is a happy, clever and sociable little boy. Lovely big garden for kids to play in. They love being outside.

Busy Bee Nursery is highly recommended by myself. The staff are extremely friendly, courteous and helpful. I am very confident that my children are cared for whilst in the care of staff and they are highly educated whilst at nursery.

My daughter took a little time to settle but now enjoys being at the nursery and comes home full of stories as to what she has been doing whilst there. My daughter adores the outdoor space and I would recommend the nursery to others.

Hello, I'm Laura - Area Manager for Cherubs South Normanton. I have been part of Cherubs Nurseries since 2007 and am incredibly fortunate to work across multiple Cherubs Nurseries during my career so far. Doing this has allowed me to really understand the expectations and the need to ensure we provide high-quality childcare every day. We take our role in the early years seriously and are always keen to go above and beyond where we can.
I am incredibly passionate about giving all children the very best start. In addition to my Area Manager role, I am the Group Safeguarding and SEND Lead. This means I work with all the nurseries to ensure we provide tailored care to those with additional needs.
