Busy Bees Derby Oakwood Bishops Drive

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.

The best nursery there is, the staff are amazing and my daughter adores them all. They have all been very supportive during this time and kept in regular contact. Would recommend anytime.

We have found my son's experience at Busy Bees to be a fun and happy one. He has always been very excited to attend, always leaving with a smile. The staff are all very friendly and have always kept us involved and informed with my son's learning experience. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Fabulous nursery. My children love their days at Busy Bees and have great relationships with their keyworkers. My three-year-old daughter has been recently learning about the human body with the staff and they know about the heart after the activity the staff did with her. I was very impressed.

My child has always loved his time here, which is very important. The relationships he has built will last. The care and attention given to him has been outstanding.

During lockdown they have been amazing. They have kept us in the loop whilst they were closed and upon opening they were great with all the children. My son was very nervous about having his temp taken but they didn't rush him and made him feel at ease. They have been amazing throughout his years there and made him comfortable about going and he loves it.

My son has been with this nursery since he was 10-months old (he is now three). At every different stage, his needs have been met. Staff are friendly and accommodating, and he has made some wonderful friends. During the covid19 pandemic, the nursery reopening has been organised in an efficient manner, and parents have been well informed throughout. Two weekly newsletters have been useful for detailing what our 'littles' have been up to and who they've been playing with as parents aren't able to see for themselves.

My son adores the nursery and is always happy to go. He has learned so many new skills since attending. Knowing he is happy is so reassuring in these uncertain times.

I am very happy with the childcare provided to my son, learning activities are of the high standard, staff are very caring and make great bond with him. Garden is very good equipped, however, I know my child would benefit from other activities sometimes like trip to the park, library etc. just to give him more variety. Management is helpful and always ready to give support and advice. I'm positive that my son benefits from attending the nursery and I know that he is in good hands.
