Busy Bees Derby Oakwood Bishops Drive

My little one has been attending Busy Bees on Bishops Drive since September 2023, and we've had such a positive experience so far. The staff are absolutely wonderful-so loving, nurturing, and genuinely caring. They've gone above and beyond to make my little one feel safe, happy, and settled, and it really shows in how excited he is to go in each day.

It's clear that the team put a lot of heart into what they do, and as a parent, that kind of support means everything. I'd definitely recommend this nursery to other parents looking for a warm, welcoming place for their child to grow and thrive.

I'm beyond grateful for all the staff and bishops drive, busy bees! My son has been there over 13 months now and is thriving and his development has hugely improved! Nothing is too much trouble, they really are like my 2nd family! Thank you so much for all your support xx

My son has settled brilliantly over the past 6 weeks into nursery. The whole team took the time to support with transition from another nursery. He has good bonds with the staff that look after him and will talk about them/ his day at home. It is evident how well they know him and his interests already. It has been a big relief to see him settle so well and quickly. It has reaffirmed I made the right decision to move him nursery closer to home. Nothing is ever too much trouble and the managers are always on hand to answer any questions or give advice. They have become a big part of our support network and make going to work easier knowing he is in the best place!

We have seen our daughter grow so much with her confidence since attending. The staff are amazing and listen to any concerns we may have, and they really care. We feel confident that she enjoys being at nursery, even to the point where she does not want to leave at the end of the day! We also love seeing the pictures and reading about what she has been doing via the updates on the app.

Busy Bees Bishops Drive have been crucial in helping my daughter to settle into nursery. The team are so caring and have really listened to my daughters needs and have implemented her interests within the room. The activities within the room are outstanding and you can see the progression she has made in such a short period of time. The Bee Curious curriculum has been explained fully to me and I can see how this supports my daughter.

The staff have been welcoming from the start and have built a strong relationship with my daughter and know her so well from the day she started until now. We have good handovers and we know what she's been up to throughout the day- we love parent zone and love seeing what she is doing and what she has eaten.

My daughter has been attending since she was 9 months and has moved through the nursery. We love how caring the staff are, they keep us up to date with the app using photo updates. Under twos keep us up date with what is going on at nursery.

I do feel that since his key worker has moved on from the nursery, the level of updates and interaction has reduced.

My daughter loves coming to nursery. She has built some amazing relationships with both children and staff. Everyone is so friendly and can't do enough to help. They support us as parents as well as our daughter and we are always kept up to date with any changes and events. I know that my daughter is safe and happy at nursery which, as a parent, is invaluable. Thank you Busy Bees!

My daughter finished Pre-School today in the Buzz room! She started just before her 1st Birthday upstairs in Bombos and has grown up through all of the rooms here. The team is amazing here they are kind, supportive, and fair in everything they do. My daughter built trust with all staff members, and has learned many life skills and made so many friends too. I am so grateful to Everyone there including a very helpful manager, kitchen staff, and cleaners! I will miss them all but we are onto our next chapter. I could not recommend this place enough!

Thank you to all the team!

My little boy attended this setting and I cannot thank of anything negative. The staff have been in the setting for years, they are passionate and you can tell their role as a key worker is important. They will send learning home to engage parents with their children's development. My little boy loved coming and has made friendships he will continue with at school. Well done to the whole team and management team.

This nursery is absolutely fantastic. During the pandemic they have demonstrated hard work, they always keep us up to date with news and have recently introduced an app where I can see my child's progression and what she has been doing. yesterday they celebrated World Book Day and while waiting in the queue it was wonderful to see all the children's excited faces as they saw what their friends were wearing. The nursery always ensures the children are happy. Keep up the good work.

My little boy has been going to this nursery for 4 months now since I started back at work and they have been amazing. My little boy loves going. Goes in with a smile and comes back out with a smile. The nursery are always keeping me up to date on how his day is through the new app which is great!

We have been really pleased with the nursery! The staff are so friendly and welcoming. Our two daughters love it here and their development has really excelled. The way the staff have adjusted in the current Covid-19 times has been a credit to them, they have ensured that our children feel comfortable and happy, whilst being kept as safe as possible. They have recently launched a new app which is fantastic, with updates throughout the day including meals, activities, photos and observations all populated. We cannot recommend this nursery highly enough!

My children have been attending this Busy Bees nursery for over 3-years, and I really wouldn't send my children anywhere else. The manager and her team are amazing.

My daughter has been going to Busy Bees since she was 2 and she loves it. The staff are very attentive and I feel confident in knowing that she'll be well cared for when I drop her off in the morning. It's a very welcoming environment and I would recommend it to any parent.

When my daughter first started nursery she was very unsettled and straight away the staff were very reassuring that she would be ok and settle in eventually. Within 3 weeks she felt right at home!! She absolutely loves nursery and every one of her teachers. All the staff have made my daughter and myself very welcome. I can not thank the team enough! To all the team at Busy Bees Thank You.

My daughter has loved coming to nursery with Busy Bees at Derby. She has made lots of friendships, always talks about the staff and asks when she can come again. Her behaviour, manners and skills have improved whilst coming to Busy Bees at Derby and we can't wait for our daughter who will be arriving in September to be part of the Busy Bees team!

The staff have been fantastic supporting myself and my child. Thank you for all the support over the last two years.
