My daughter has attended Busy Bees for two days a week since November. She settled in really well and enjoys going each week. The staff are always so excited to see each child and in turn my daughter has a great time in their care. When she started she had specific dietary requirements which the team took time to confirm with us and always ensured her diet was safe for her. I love to hear how her day is going via the app although this isn’t always kept 100% up to date. When I had concerns about my daughter's nap schedule at nursery I was listened to and changes were implemented immediately to support her needs. She enjoys the food and all the activities and her confidence has grown hugely since attending. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Busy Bees to anyone searching for a nursery.

Without a doubt, the best thing about the nursery is the staff. Especially her key person who goes the extra mile for my daughter and clearly cares very much for all the children. Thank you so much for all you do for the children.

The skills and qualities that my daughter has gained since starting at the nursery include turn-taking, sharing, collaboration, writing, numeracy and literacy amongst others.
My daughter has become more expressive and creative as well.
Happiness is a good sign that a child is developing well in a setting and my daughter bounces into nursery in the mornings and leaves in the evening with a smile on her face.

My child has attended nursery every day for 3 funded hours, since September 2020. He had no problems in there, almost every time he came out happy. The staff are very caring, polite and understanding. Good nursery.

My son has been at this nursery for a year now and if I could describe the care in one word, it would be 'Outstanding'! My son runs into the nursery every day with a big smile! They treat every child as individuals and tailor to their needs. They really listen to the parent. When I have had concerns about development, they have supported me as a parent to reassure me and worked closely with my child to ensure they reach their full potential. They have catered for my child's allergies with ease. The app is fantastic and you can keep up to date with your child's day and you even get pictures showing you what they have been up to. The main thing is, the staff really care about your child and that comes through so clearly. I would not think twice to recommend this nursery, a true gem!
Staff are great with both our children. They care about the children, the parents and not just the profit line, as experienced with other nurseries in the area. Both are kids have flourished whilst being in the care here.

My son has been at Busy Bees for a year and a half so far. He has transitioned from baby room to the toddler room in that time and I cannot praise or thank all the staff enough. He has not found settling easy, lockdown created additional problems too. However, they have been incredibly supportive of both my son and us as parents. They have coped with lockdown and the ever-changing covid restrictions fantastically well and I feel my son is in incredibly safe hands. We wouldn't choose anywhere else for his childcare.
Our daughter loves going to the nursery. All staff knows her well and welcome her every day with a smile. We are pleased regards the whole experience as it's been so smooth for our child but also for us. Great team, good communication, lots of activities, her confidence has grown so much,...
Our daughter loves going to the nursery. All staff knows her well and welcome her every day with a smile. We are pleased regards the whole experience as it's been so smooth for our child but also for us. Great team, good communication, lots of activities, her confidence has grown so much, unbelievable. Patience and encouragement received from the team regards the meals as our child didn’t want to try different food from the one she was having at home, now she tries most of the meals some she eats all which it's great. If you are looking for a great nursery you are in the right spot.

The staff all make a fuss of her and she gets all excited when I reach for her coat in the morning because she knows where she is going.
Well done everyone, I can't praise you all enough.
I am grateful to all members of staff that helped my daughter to settle in the environment of the nursery. All my requirements were met, in regards to her allergies and schedule. I know my daughter is in safe hands!

My daughter really enjoys herself every day and I feel happy that she is well cared for. The food is really good, although most days seem to be vegetarian, I would like to see more variety.

My daughter went from not wanting to leave my side to really enjoying it there. All of the staff treat my daughter well and I haven't had any issues since my daughter started there. It's no longer a problem dropping my daughter off as she loves it that much. Now she just waves goodbye to Mummy and off she goes. I guess that's what you want when your child goes to nursery. I would recommend.
We are so pleased with Busy Bees at Corby! Staff are very friendly and my daughter learned so many new things! Because her first language is not English in only 5 months she can speak English very well! She seems to have good fun and lots of activities! I will recommend it!

Since my daughter has started here we've never had anything less than amazing experience. Our daughter was very unsettled the first 2 weeks and the girls went above and beyond to help her settle in. I have noticed her progress is also coming on leaps and bounds. Plus it is always nice to see how much she enjoys coming here daily.
My son started pre-school 4 months ago and has loved it ever since. The set up of the pre-school is brilliant, all the staff are friendly and professional. My son has met lots of new friends.

My son has only been there for 1 month but my opinion is strongly formed anyway. I went back and forth to all the nurseries in Corby but I kept coming back to Busy Bees and couldn't have been happier with my decision to register my son with them. The place is lovely, always smells of freshly cooked food when I do the drop-off, and the staff are ever so nice, attentive and caring. A really good nursery, all in all, and I have already recommended it to friends.

Hello, my name is Sarah Stafford. I have had a career in childcare spanning over 20 years, my experience is complemented by a Level 3 Early Years Diploma and a suite of childcare-related qualifications, including Paediatric First Aid, Designated Safeguarding Lead, and SENDCo (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Coordinator).I am passionate about nurturing and educating young minds which has been unwavering throughout my career. I have worked in various capacities, gaining invaluable insights and expertise in early childhood education and care.
I consider myself fortunate to work with an amazing team of professionals who share my enthusiasm and dedication to providing the best possible start in life for the children in our care. Together, we create a nurturing and stimulating environment where children can thrive.
During show rounds, we ensure prospective families are given the opportunity to see firsthand the care and attention that goes into every aspect of the nursery. From the well-equipped play areas to the carefully planned educational activities, every detail is designed with the children's best interests at heart. Myself and the team take the time to answer any questions and address any concerns that parents may have, ensuring that they feel confident and comfortable entrusting their children to their care.
