The nursery has been amazing throughout 2020 with the way they have handled the pandemic. We have received numerous communications throughout the year keeping us informed. The launch of the app has been amazing to continue engaging my children even when nursery has been closed, and even more...
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.

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.

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.

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.
The staff have been amazing upon my daughter's return. Although I haven't seen inside for obvious reasons, I trust the staff are keeping standards to keep the children safe. My daughter has really enjoyed being back and if she is happy - we are happy.

All the staff including management care handle my son's feelings with such a loving and pleasant way I feel 100% happy to leave him at nursery knowing he is cared for so passionately. The staff can't do enough for you to make you feel at ease leaving him there. They send lots of photo's which make me feel better to see him having such a lovely time and being so happy. Such a lovely homely feeling you get from all the staff. I wouldn't want anyone but the staff ay Busy Bees to look after him.
All the staff at Busy Bees are excellent. They have made my child's nursery experience great. The staff are professional, friendly and welcoming. My child enjoys coming to nursery and always has a smile after attending her session.

My daughter absolutely loves nursery. The ladies who look after her couldn't do enough for her. She has come on leaps and bounds since starting here.

This is my sons final few months at Treetops, he has had a fantastic journey with the team and I cannot thank the team more for looking after our little boy so well. Special thanks to two nursery ladies for loving him so much. I hope you all have fantastic careers and a happy life.

Our son has attended the nursery for two years. He has really enjoyed his time here, made lots of friends and looks forward to going. He loves being outside and enjoyed the football and Spanish lessons. He will miss being there.

I'm Chloe, and I am the Centre Director at our Busy Bees Derby Oakwood Bishops Drive nursery.
Having completed my level 3 qualification, I have gained a wealth of experience in our Kings Heath nursery in Birmingham for 4 years, from room manager, senior room manager, assistant centre director, and now moving up to Centre Director here at Bishops Drive. Throughout my time at Kings Heath, I have supported the nursery and other nurseries in the area with a keen eye on quality and ensuring every child within our care has the best start in life.
I have a passion for ensuring environments are enabling and inviting, offering a range of learning opportunities to our children.
In my spare time, I really enjoy going on walks and spending time with my family and friends.
I really look forward to welcoming you to our wonderful Bishops Drive nursery very soon!
