Review from Jess W (Mother of Child) published on 20 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Busy bees at Belper Gibfield Lane is a fantastic Nursery. The nursery is always clean, bright, and filled with age-appropriate toys and activities. They've created such a nurturing environment where my child is thriving, learning, happy and settled.
They provide Fresh food made on their premises daily, along with healthy breakfast and snacks, and they provide a menu where you can see what options are available for your child each day.
They have a busy bees app on your phone, which regularly gets updated through the day so you can monitor your child through the day and see what they've eaten, nap times, toiletting, photos, and how they are progressing etc, which is lovely to get the updates.
The whole team here really are fantastic, professional, Attentive and just well rounded a lovely team, from the Manager, Assistant Manager, to the Nursery Staff, the support staff, the cooks.

My child has built a great relationship with his key worker and the staff in his room. Thankyou all x

Since my child started, I have seen a huge change, she is absolutely thriving. We are kept up to date regularly, and the staff are friendly and approachable. It's really heartwarming when you walk in, and the staff know her name, she is well cared for, and we can't thank you enough.

Review from Danielle K (Mother of Child) published on 14 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son has attended busy bees since April 2022. He joined in the baby room and throughout his journey through the different rooms, all staff members are very friendly and child centred. The food is very well planned for their daily nutritional requirements which has been great peace of mind for my son who is on the small side.
They regularly invite you into nursery for afternoon teas, Christmas lunches and Christmas carols. Grandparents even get invited in.

My child has made many friends, including the staff who he wants to invite to his birthday party!

Overall Experience

We have used this nursery since 2021. Our eldest has transitioned into school fantastically, and nursery played an huge part in how ready he was for school. Our second child started last month, and the care she is given and the experiences she is exposed to are second to none. The staff are caring, friendly and professional. I feel like she is looked after like one of their own, I feel she is safe and happy. The communication is always excellent. They go above and beyond for their children and families.

Absolutely love the team at Gibfield Lane. We are using the nursery for our second child after having used Gibfield Lane for our first child. The staff are friendly, conscientious and go above and beyond with the fun activities they do with the children. The nursery is well run and we receive regular correspondence from management. We love the updates on the app and the handovers at the start/end of the day are fantastic. Our little one loves his days at nursery!

Lovely nursery: both my children have been there. Well looked after and cared for. Staff are friendly and approachable, my daughter knows all their names, from the chef to the office staff - sign of a good set of staff.

She is well cared for and nurtured, the staff are supportive and the communication is good.

Review from Dannielle J (Mother of Child) published on 20 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our little boy is 22 months old and has been going to nursery since he was 18 months old. He absolutely loves it. We've noticed a significant improvement in his speech, language, and communication development, his sharing with other children and all over confidence. I especially love seeing all of the updates throughout the day and seeing all of the crafts he gets up to. It's so heartwarming to see how happy he is when he's there. The staff are all so amazing and caring, which gives me immense comfort knowing he's with people who genuinely care. Thank you for everything you do for our children.

Everyone at the nursery is very kind and caring. My son really enjoys it. Good communication daily. Happy with the provision overall. Some more climbing equipment inside and outside would be nice for the kids but otherwise good.

My daughter is so settled and happy with this nursery. I couldn't recommend it enough, staff are all lovely, all know my daughter by name. I have no concerns with my daughters care, she is well cared for and safe. I am astounded how quickly she settled in and I think that is a reflection on the amazing staff.

Overall Experience

I cannot overstate how happy I am with this nursery. The space for the children is lovely with plenty of activities and outdoor space. My little girl loves being at nursery and is always excited to tell me how she had a good day at nursery and what activities she did. The staff are outstanding - they take the time to provide an update at the end of the day, answer questions and give advice. They're always happy to work with parents on things like potty training and eliminating binkie use. And most importantly, my child is excited to see her key worker and the other ladies in her room and is happy to get cuddles and reassurance from them.

Brilliant nursing with highly trained and supportive staff. My daughter has been at the nursery for about 5 months and the staff helped her settle in really well. I feel the staff promote a high level of education and learning and really care about the children. Staff are really supportive of parents and their worries too. Management are excellent at communicating with parents and seems to really support their staff.

Overall Experience

The team at Gibfield Lane Busy Bees Nursery are excellent. They have a child-centred approach, they are caring and nurturing. They have been endlessly flexible and supportive to those of us with difficult jobs like myself. I am a doctor and I am always hugely impressed with how confidently, safely and kindly they cope with illness or injury in children and how sensible their policies are on sickness. I have two children both of whom have been cared for by the staff at Gibfield Lane and I could not think of a better, safer, more wonderful environment for them to learn and thrive. The staff are excellent, communication is great and nothing is too much bother.

Kaysha Sulley Job Title: Centre Director Joined: 2013
Kaysha Sulley

Hi my name is Kaysha and I am the Centre Director here at Belper Gibfield Lane.

I have worked for Busy Bees since 2013, joining here as Nursery Manager in July 2017 and since then I haven't looked back! I thoroughly enjoy each and every day of my career, from making memories for each child to developing my staff's knowledge. One of my most precious highlights from managing our nursery was our Outstanding from OFSTED in June 2018. I am a mum myself and have two children. My son who now attends school attended nursery from the age of 5 months and my daughter who now comes to Gibfield Lane Nursery and herself has been here since 6 months old! I know how daunting it can be to take that step at looking into childcare and thinking about entrusting your most treasured possession into the hands of someone else. I hope that when you come and visit and meet myself and my fantastic staff team all of your worries and concerns will disappear as we will answer any queries you may have for your child starting with us.

I am so very lucky to have a team that is well established and always aim to deliver the highest possible level of childcare and always with a smile. I have an absolute passion to ensure all children are able to access the best possible start in life and to provide them with the outstanding start in life that they all deserve. We welcome you on that journey with your child and look forward to meeting you and your family.
