Our daughter has now been at the nursery for a year and she absolutely loves going. I barely get a backward glance when I drop her off! The staff are brilliant - caring, friendly and engaging. Our daughter is currently in the youngest room and the key workers there are amazing. They dote on our daughter and this feeling is replicated back. I feel incredibly reassured dropping her off in the morning, knowing she's in safe hands with people who genuinely care. This is echoed with key workers in the other rooms - we feel as though all the team 'know' our daughter.
The nursery feels homely and safe. The location is beautiful and the children spend lots of time outdoors.
Would we recommend this nursery? We would and we have! Making the decision of where and by whom your child will be cared for in your absence is emotional and daunting but we absolutely know we made the right decision, we only have to look at our daughter and her development to see that.
I have had two children at Bush Babies, one has left to go to school and one is currently there. They both thoroughly enjoyed and continue to enjoy their time at nursery. They have gained great friends and learnt a lot. The carers there are are a huge asset to the nursery and work very hard. I haven't had any negative feelings about leaving my children in their care. I thought it was great for the children when there were two male carers at the nursery, they were there for most of my daughter's time there but unfortunately, they are not there now. A negative issue I have experienced is the high turnover of staff at the nursery. I believe it is very important to me that the staff are happy in their jobs so they can care for my child properly.
Our daughter has been attending this nursery full time since she was 6 months. She is now in the pre-school group and will be there for another year. What I have always loved of Bush Babies is that it is extremely cozy, primarily thanks to the staff but also for its New Walk location and the Victorian house that hosts it.
Our daughter has been at Bush Babies - Leicester City on New Walk since she was about 6 months old; she's now been there over 2 years. What made us choose Hollybush was the enthusiasm of the staff. We've found that they really get to know the children and really care about them as individuals. The most important thing for us is she's happy there and has lots of fun! I would definitely recommend anyone looking for a nursery have a look!
Leicester City Busy Bees have been great with my son. He was with them from the age of 2 until he was 4. Unfortunately we left the nursery a few weeks ago due to relocating and moving out of Leicester. The staff are great and the care and time the key workers spend with the children in fantastic. My son developed a close relationship with not only his key worker but all members of staff - they all player such an important role in my sons life which has been great for him. Very professional at all times and the being best out of the children. Would recommend.
This Day Nursery is having all the facilities with excellent care and support for my child. We are lucky to be part of the Busy Bees as a parent and would like to thank the staff and recommend this place to colleagues in future.
Thank you for your review, we are so pleased with your comments, I will inform the team and share your kind feedback.
We're very happy with the care our two children have received thus far. Both are welcomed warmly and are kept safe throughout each day. The rooms are vibrant, full of sensory opportunities, and child-centered.
Thank you so much for reviewing the nursery. I will share with the staff team your kind comments.
I love this nursery. I feel safe to live my son on this nursery. I will recommend to my friends to come and leave the kids because I am extremely happy with my son's development. It is very clean and organised.
