Overall Experience
Fabulous nursery, our child has settled in really well with the help of his key worker and the great staff at Busy Bees.
The range of activities varies on a week-to-week basis giving children variety.

The whole staff team at Busy Bees are great, always friendly and welcoming.

Review from L F (Mother of Child) published on 28 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Busy Bees Barlborough are a cut above! Our daughter has attended for 17 months and her development every week is fantastic. Key workers are carefully thought out depending on the child to bring the best out in them and all of the staff are completely aware of each individual's bespoke needs. The centre managers and room staff are always willing to listen to feedback, however small it may be and even the smallest comments are taken seriously because the staff here really care about the children and parents. All staff know my child's name - she is always greeted by name by everyone both in and out of the door. Monthly snapshots give a fantastic review of the EYFS, giving me confidence that my child is doing well and meeting expectations.

Meaningful interactions are used for the daily photos and really show off how she is learning and engaging through her day. I love this nursery, it is worth the drive to ensure that my little girl gets the best possible start to education. Recommended!

Review from L A (Grandfather of Child) published on 28 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My granddaughter has been at the nursery for well over a year now. From her first day, she has been nurtured, stimulated, engaged, encouraged and happy. Each room has been wonderful with her. She has become a confident, outgoing individual, who is progressing well across the EYFS. She always enjoys nursery, comes home with paintings, or other items she's created. The portal used is incredibly informative, with pictures on a daily basis and regular snapshots of achievements. Everything is logged throughout the day, giving you ongoing updates. All good eaten, or not, is recorded too.

Every member of staff you see when dropping off or collecting is pleasant, friendly and helpful. The safeguarding measures are well-embedded and children are safe in the building. If an additional session is required, they go above and beyond to manage this for you. I would recommend Busy Bees to any parent, so much so, that my twin granddaughters are also starting here at the end of February.

Overall Experience

What a fabulous establishment! My grandson loves it here. We get greeted every session with a smile from all the workers regardless of the room they work in. The app is updated regularly and it's great to see what happens each session. The setting is always clean, corridors are tidy. As a grandparent, I would fully recommend Busy Bees.

Overall Experience

I am very pleased with Busy Bees Barlborough so far, I used a different nursery for my eldest child and so far I feel that Busy Bees is much better due to the environment a the experience of the staff. They have been attentive to my daughter, informative to myself and my husband on pick up and the environment is calm a clean. I have already recommended the nursery to others.

Overall Experience

My eldest child has been attending for a few months now and my youngest is just starting, and I can’t praise Busy Bees enough. The staff have been amazing and helping them settle in. My eldest loves going and adores the staff and the friends she has made there. She has loads of fun and her social skills and learning have come on so much since attending. My children both have food allergies and Busy Bees are fantastic at accommodating them and experienced at dealing with allergies, I feel 100% confident that they do everything they can to manage her allergies and keep them safe. Thanks, Busy Bees!

The staff have been fabulous, especially over the Christmas period. My son has done a lot of fun activities and comes home so happy telling me all about his day and all the dancing he's been doing! We have one happy little boy who loves nursery and that is down to the lovely staff there.

Overall Experience

My little boy absolutely loves it at Busy Bees and is always excited to go. The staff and management are so friendly, knowledgeable and always happy to help with anything we may need. Large variety of activities and I love that key workers keep parents up to date with what our children are doing during the day through the parent zone app. Management are very accommodating and will always try their best to fit you in if you need additional child care due to work commitments etc. It’s great I can go to work knowing my child is happy, safe and cared for. Thank you.

Overall Experience

Busy Bees Barlborough is an amazing setting. The team who work there go above and beyond for my child. They are patient, caring and above all my child feels safe there. The team are beyond patient with my daughter who has additional needs and a limited diet and always provide her with her safe foods. My daughter is always more than happy to attend nursery and she always has a smile on her face when I collect her. By far the best nursery there is and will always be the best.

Absolutely love this nursery. Both of our children have attended since they were 1 year old. The staff are amazingly friendly and caring. They are so active with the children and always have creative ways to keep them entertained. They are supportive with any sleep routines and potty training and I would recommend them to anyone. They have great outdoor spaces for exploring and playing.

Review from Toni P (Mother of Child) published on 11 January 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My twins have been going here for over a year, they have blossomed and grown in this setting which is due to the expert skills and care of the staff. They are ‘the village’ it takes to raise a family. All 4 of my children have been to Busy Bees Barlborough, and each of them are treated as individuals and not forced into an ‘age-rated box’, my little ones have flourished because they have been allowed to learn at their own speed in a way that suits them best. They are all worth their weight in gold and there’s nobody I would trust more with my children at such tender ages.

Review from Alistair M (Father of Child) published on 11 January 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The care and attention taken for our child is second to none. He has a syndrome that requires the staff to be aware of signs of him becoming unwell. Their help, support and willingness to support us, but yet listen to our point of view is commendable.

Happy parents knowing he is in safe hands whilst we are at work.

Review from Natasha D (Mother of Child) published on 11 January 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has been going to Busy Bees Barlborough since May this year after going back to work after maternity leave, she loves going and the staff in Bombos 1 settled her in, cared for her and loved her like one of their own. I couldnt thank them enough, she has now moved into Bombos 2 and yet again they have been brilliant with her. She gets so excited about going to nursery and I'm so happy that I chose this nursery to care for my little one. All the staff are amazing and very friendly and talk to you when you walk through the door and are happy to help with anything. If anyone asks for a nursery would 100% recommend Busy Bees Barlborough all the time!

Thank you to you all for your care of my little one and for giving her the best start in life.

I have no complaints about the nursery. Both of my children really enjoy going and they are both developing great thanks to the nursery team.
They have a very good rapport with their key worker and keep us up to date on their progress.

We use the app to communicate and are always kept involved in our children’s nursery journey. I would recommend the nursery to anyone.
