Busy Bees Daybrook

Me and my husband would absolutely recommend busy bees daybrook, they have cared for our girls like their own.

I can't thank busy bees enough for the support they give to my daughter. She's been here now for 2.5 years and has come on so much thanks to all the staff. Including her potty training. Nothing has ever been to much for the staff and I appreciate all they do in there jobs. My daughter has made some lovely friendships with children and staff. Thanks again busy bees! 10 out of 10 from us! X

We would like to recognise the outstanding care and support provided by the Bombo 2 team and our sons Key Worker (BM). They and BM consistently went above and beyond to make our child's nursery experience positive, engaging and tailored to his interests. Whether through sharing his favourite vehicle books - even his key worker creating one, arranging special experiences such as exploring a police van, or gently encouraging him to visit the pre-school room, every interaction helped build his confidence, curiosity and independence. The BM and the team created a warm, nurturing environment where he felt happy and supported. We would also like to express our gratitude to the chef (S), she is incredible at what she does, the meals and variety are thoroughly enjoyed by our son!

I would also like to recognise Carley, my son's key worker. As a parent, I naturally worry about my child, but Carley always takes the time to update me on the activities he has been involved in and the progress he is making. Her communication and reassurance mean so much and have helped me feel confident that he is thriving.

My son has been going to busy bees since January 2026 and I can't fault the whole experience. I was so nervous for my son to start as I've never left him before but Katie and team in bombo1 has been amazing. Katie and the team update me with everything my son gets up to throughout the day and nothing is too much for any of them. My son loves going and now runs off and is excited to go which makes me so reassured he's getting the love and support he needs from his key workers.

Our son joined the nursery when he was just 10 months old, and as he prepares to leave for school this September, we couldn't be more grateful for the care, support, and encouragement he has received over the years. The staff have created such a warm, nurturing, and stimulating environment where he has grown into a confident, happy, and independent little boy. Knowing he was safe, cared for, and enjoyed his days at nursery gave us complete peace of mind. Thank you to the entire team for the incredible role you've played in his early years, we will always look back on his time at busy bees with great fondness and would highly recommend it to families looking for a nursery.

Switched to Busy Bees Daybrook after a year at another local nursery and it was the best move. Our girl adores the staff and in particular Kerry, Maddison & Megan, and she has made some lovely friends. The food variety is good and my daughter is never scared to try new things. The app they use is a good way for parents to be kept up to date with the children's day. The outdoor space is great and she's learning so much. Massive thank you to the whole team! I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent.

Every member of staff shows kindness, patience and understanding, and I am so grateful for everything they have done for us.

The hours available were also unsuitable for me to increase my hours at work and I felt that I was paying a lot of money despite funded hours. I would suggest paying nursery staff properly to improve care rather than focusing on profit.

My daughter absolutely loves coming into nursery. All the staff are so friendly and welcoming, I feel at ease knowing she is safe and looked after. My daughter always comes home happy and loves to tell me about what she has been doing throughout the day.

The outside space always has fun activities for them to engage in fun and imaginative play. Since the new manager has joined I have seen the nursery going the extra mile, the take-home library books, activity bags to take home on the given topic of the week and parents' coffee station - all special touches to get parents doing stuff at home with children. All of my daughter's key workers have been excellent. The graduation was so special and the staff went to such effort to celebrate each child individually.

Special mention to the centre director, senior room manager and 3 other staff members in particular, although all the staff are truly brilliant!

My child has attended the nursery for over a year and I could not be more happy. The food, play spaces and staff are excellent and they are very attentive to the children’s needs. The recent changes to management have brought changes and new ideas that have made the nursery an even better place for both the adults and children.

Our child has attended this nursery from the baby room at 8 months old all the way through to pre-school and has loved it here and thrived. Looks forward to going to nursery and leaves happy at the end of every nursery day. We went from 3 half days to 3 full days easily after 1.5 years old and transition to different stages was well managed. Communication is good and you can check online throughout the day to see what they are up to, how they're eating/sleeping, if you are nervous. Good handover at the end of sessions. Great, friendly staff who genuinely care for and are interested in the children as individuals. Clean environment varied activities and good resources and facilities especially outdoors.

My son enjoys attending nursery and especially enjoys the garden. The staff look after him very well and the menu choice is really good. The management team are always available to speak to and are very approachable.

Excellent nursery. Staff are so warm and friendly. You are updated daily on your child’s progress and regular pictures are uploaded onto the app. It is a lovely nursery and I would recommend it to everyone!

My daughter has recently started Busy Bees in Daybrook and after initially being really apprehensive to leave us at the door, she now loves going and her confidence has increased massively. All the staff are lovely and friendly and have been able to answer any question I’ve had well- about my daughter and the nursery itself. I would highly recommend Busy Bees to any other parents considering putting their child in nursery.

My daughter has been at Busy Bees since she was 10 months old and has truly blossomed during her time at this nursery! Everything from her social skills to her vocabulary have come on faster than I ever imagined. The staff are so welcoming to both parents and children and it is easy to address any queries or questions about my daughter's day to day learning. I can't praise all the ladies enough for all their work with my daughter! Not a day has gone by that she hasn't wanted to go to nursery and we look forward to seeing how she grows in the next year!

May was our second month with Busy Bees and our little girl has really settled in. The staff are all so supportive to her needs and always keep us updated with how she’s doing and how her days have been. We love following her day on the app too. It’s great to get photos and updates throughout the day.

Both my boys attend one day a week at the moment. The staff are always friendly and approachable. I feel at ease trusting them to look after my children. The staff are great at updating the app to see what the children have been up to/what they've eaten/any naps/nappies etc. They are always doing a range of different activities and they love messy play! Overall we are really happy with the care the boys receive whilst at nursery - special shout out to the whole team who are amazing!
