Since he started they have had an upgrade to their outdoor space and he has loved being outside
The staff are wonderful in supporting her development and confidence and she has fostered such a positive relationship with them all.
Everyone is so kind and caring and it is such a relief knowing she is going somewhere she is cared for so well and is flourishing as her own individual little person.
Outstanding nursery with brilliant staff who our child adores. We visits 8 nurseries in the area and so glad we chose Busy Bee's at Vicar. Our boy started at 6months old and will leave this year, couldn't thank the team enough for their amazing help developing our young person.
Could not ask for more from the staff . They are all so helpful and friendly and make it so easy for children to settle in at nursery . They continue to update you throughout the day with photos of your child nothing is too much trouble.
My little boy has been going here since Jan 2025, after we moved back home. The staff have been so understanding about his current health conditions as well as understanding the days that my little boy goes to his dads for a weekend. They always go above and beyond to keep me up to date with how he is progressing and always go the next mile to make sure he has the best day he can.
All staff working at busy bees currently are fantastic and alway good at answering any questions and worries. Both of my children have had excellent experiences in all 3 rooms with all staff.
I don't ever doubt the care my daughter receives, she's always happy, content and busy making mess!
Our little boy started busy bees when he was 7 months old, now he is nearly 3 and he loves going. Staff are always professional and enthusiastic and we believe attending busy bees has helped our son to develop his independence and motor skills.
We couldn't be happier with this nursery. The care and attention they give to the children is wonderful, and it's so reassuring to know our daughter is in such a safe, nurturing environment. She absolutely loves going each day, which says everything. The staff are kind, patient, and clearly passionate about what they do. I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent.
My daughter started in may 2025 just after her first birthday and has come on leaps and bounds since being at nursery. She started in the baby class then moved up to the toddlers and the main thing I noticed was how much more she started speaking. She loves being at nursery and it's lovely to see the regular updates through out the day of what she's been up to. The girls in her room spend quality time with her and know her inside out. It's lovely to see the relationships she has made while being there with staff and the other children, I'm really happy with the nursery and would definitely recommend to anyone searching for a nursery in the area.
I get plenty of updates/photos through the day which is also lovely to see.
I would definitely recommend this nursery!
All the staff at the nursery go above and beyond when caring for my son. He's recently moved to the Bumbles room and is thriving. He runs in with a smile on his face and is happy upon collection. His confidence has come on leaps and bounds and his speech is amazing for a 2-year-old. The staff have been supportive with toilet training and now my son is dry during the day. Activities always look fun and the staff are happy, friendly, and caring. They are truly amazing!
Very polite and helpful. Work very hard to ensure my child is happy.
Staff are very friendly and helpful. I am very happy with the learning, care and atmosphere. My child loves attending nursery and adores all staff. I think that says it all.
Brilliant nursery. My daughter has been coming since she was 9 months old and has loved every minute. The staff are amazing and nothing is too much trouble. We definitely picked the best nursery around.
An absolutely wonderful nursery - we have seen our son bloom in so many ways since he started. The staff are all so lovely and engaging with him, it's lovely to see.
My son has been at the nursery for just over a year now after having to change nurseries at very short notice. I can honestly say that despite the swap being out of our control, starting at Busy Bees has been amazing for my son. The nursery is regularly asking for input from parents to enable them to tailor the children's learning which I love! Management has been extremely accommodating and sympathetic during a challenging period which meant we required additional sessions at short notice. It is obvious that the staff care very much for the children and are thriving as a result. My son absolutely loves going to nursery! Thank you Busy Bees!
Absolutely superb nursery. We couldn't ask for better care, nurturing and learning opportunities for our little girl!
Hello, thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a wonderful review! We’re glad you have given your little one the best start in life with us. Best wishes, Busy Bees.
I couldn’t have chosen a better nursery for my daughter. She has been attending since she was a baby, and every staff member we have met has been amazing, from the manager, the nursery room staff, the domestic staff and the cook. My daughter enjoys going to nursery and genuinely loves every single staff member there. She is more than prepared to start her journey into big school, and that’s thanks to Busy Bees. If I could keep her here forever, I would. They are the best anyone could wish for, for their child, and we will certainly miss them.
Hello, thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a wonderful review! We’re glad you’re giving your little one the best start in life with us. Best wishes, Busy Bees.
