Busy Bees Derby Oakwood Bishops Drive

The nursery have been great with my daughter ever since she started & she absolutely loves it there. The staff are really friendly & great with the kids. The nursery have worked tirelessly to help with my daughters development, also seeking avenues of funding & were heavily involved with our my daughters EHCP application, which was successful

I am very happy with this nursery. The staff are warm, caring and truly dedicated to the children. The atmosphere is friendly and safe, and our child is always happy to go there and comes home smiling. It's clear that the children's wellbeing and development are a real priority here.

With him being my first child I was so anxious about leaving him but my worries have been lifted, the staff help give me advice when needed.

I honestly have no negatives towards nursery. B comes home happy which is the main outcome.

As a first-time parent, I felt quite anxious about sending my child to nursery as I went back to work. It's a huge comfort to have regular updates on the app, where I can see when, what and how much my child has eaten, when his nappy has been changed, and regular updates and photos showing what he has been up to. Thank you to all the staff at Busy Bee's!

My child attends Busy Bees Nursery on Bishops Drive Oakwood and we are extremely happy with the care provided. The whole team is kind, professional, and truly dedicated to the amazing work they do. The environment is warm, safe, and nurturing, and it's clear the staff genuinely care about every child. I would highly recommend Busy Bees Nursery. My soon absolutely loves go to nursery and he is thriving so much. I couldn't thank enough for the amazing team

We have had an excellent experience with Busy Bees. The staff are lovely, approachable and very supportive. My child seems very happy and comfortable with everyone and overall the nursery has had a very positive impact on development.

We have had no issues with the nursery at all.

Busy Bees has really been the best decision for my son and I couldn't thank the staff more for everything they do.

This shows on the way home when he excitedly talks about what he's been doing during the day and the things the staff tell me he has enjoyed.

My daughter has been attending the bishop's driver busy bees for nearly a year now and has absolutely thrived. This is the 3rd nursery that she has attended and by far the best. The staff are so lovely, my daughter has really bonded with her key worker and I can't be more grateful for how well she is looked after.

My child started in Bombos 1 in September, He was welcomed with open arms by all at the nursery. I couldn't believe that within a week or so, every staff member that I came across (even in other rooms and the chef) knew him by name and knew different little quirks about him. I cannot praise the staff enough for how well they do, how they manage to get my child to sleep in a room full of other children I will never know. (He is a major FOMO kid). Wouldn't dream of sending him anywhere else. I love the app so I can see what he's doing throughout the day, and the lovely observations of what he's been up to really make a difference.

My daughter Ava started busy bees on bishops drive in April 2025. At first I was very nervous to leave my daughter in there care as any parent would especiallya full day session. But after getting to know the staff by doing settle in sessions it gave me peace of mind, and for my daughter to get to know the staff making the transition easier all around. Since then I have seen my daughter thriving, she has made excellent progress from crawling, walking, feeding herself to now seing her language and many more skills progress each day she attends. The staff are amazing, very understanding, helpful, supportive and will help with what ever needs your child requires. I would recommend busy bees to anyone looking for child care. Best decision i made.

Staff take prompt action if your child is unwell or doesn't seem themselves and keep you informed either through calls or the app. I could not ask for a better nursery for my child and only have praise for the service they provide.

They're always changing the menu so they don't get bored of the meals and it means she tries things I wouldn't think to cook at home as well.

My son absolutely loves going to Busy Bees nursery. He always comes home with a smile on his face and tells me all the activities he has done throughout the day. He has made lots of new friends and has formed a close bond with the staff that work in his room. All the staff that I have met are lovely and i am confident knowing my child is well looked after and he is enjoying his time there. Highly recommend

My child started nursery in September 2025. The staff have been brilliant with helping her settle and building a rapport with her. Very communicative with me and my husband regarding her needs and any administration matters. Also very impressed with the range of activities they do in Bombos 1 and 2 room. She has come on leaps and bounds with her development since starting and seems to really enjoy her time there which is a joy to see!

Moved my son to this nursery in September and he absolutely loves it the staff are so lovely. He comes home every day with a smile on his face and has only excelled since being there. I love that they have things for the children to take home and do outside of nursery and just the overall care he receives is top notch!

Our daughter absolutely flourished at Busy Bees, particularly in the preschool room. She made a close bunch of friends, including staff, and was always happy when she came out. We were well supported when we approached to ask advice about issues related to our daughter. The staff were warm and welcoming. There were quite a few changes in staffing and management, once this settled it is clear that these are for the better. The graduation celebration was touching and really thoughtful, it was so lovely to see how much the adults have bonded with the children rather than it just seeming 'like just a job'. It's been a pleasure, thank you <3

Busy bees bishops drive has been an amazing place for our twins to learn and grow. The staff are the most supportive, caring and kind and can't recommend this nursery setting enough. We have grown so close to the staff members and entrust them fully with the care and development of the boys.
