Review from Regan D (Mother of Child) published on 16 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our child has been attending this nursery for over a year now and we couldn't be happier with the care provided. The key workers are absolutely amazing - very supportive, caring, and genuinely invested in each child's wellbeing and development.
Our child has recently moved up into a new room, and the transition has been handled incredibly well. The staff have gone above and beyond to help with settling in, including thoughtful touches such as printing pictures of pets to provide comfort in the mornings. This really shows how well they get to know the children as individuals.
Communication is excellent, with regular updates and photos shared via the nursery app, which is very reassuring as a parent. The nursery environment is always very clean, and it's clear there is a strong, experienced team in place, with many long-serving members of staff.

There is a wide range of engaging activities that support learning and development, and our child is always happy to attend.

Overall Experience

My son is now in the preschool room getting ready to transition off to school. My son has been with the nursery since he was 9 months old and they have been his second family. All the staff are happy, fun, and helpful, and will all be missed when it's time for my son's next chapter. I will be recommending this nursery 100%.

Overall Experience

I cannot put into words how grateful I am to the whole team at Busy Bees Wigan, Marylebone, me and my son are always greeted with a smile. The staff are friendly and always go out of their way to ensure my son is well cared for and that I feel happy. Two particular staff members go the extra mile daily to ensure my son is happy and engaged in activities. Truly the best team/nursery there is. The management team is fantastic. We have made friends for life here and could not be happier.

Overall Experience

Busy Bees Wigan, Marylebone is a fantastic setting, they have an amazing long-serving staff team many of which are still there from when our oldest daughter attended. They always take the time to give me a thorough handover via telephone, because I’m unable to personally conduct drop-offs or collections. Our youngest daughter loves attending and has recently moved up into the preschool room, without a care in the world, all due to the amazing staff preparing her so well. I recommend this nursery to everyone!

The staff at Marylebone Busy Bees are amazing! Caring, kind and attentive. They've helped bring my son out of his shell and helped with his speech and language. His senco has been amazing! His key worker has been brilliant too! He's going to really miss nursery and the staff and his friends.

The nursery is a lovely, welcoming place. Staff are always friendly and helpful. I have always felt confident leaving my little one upon returning to work. Activities are varied with good resources. Updates are provided throughout the day with keepsake picture collages sent home for significant milestones. Great nursery, great staff!

Overall Experience

Busy Bees are a fantastic nursery. They are very thorough when it comes to communication and put any anxieties I had about my child starting nursery to rest. The staff are amazing, they are kind, caring, understanding and patient and my child has a great relationship with them. The meals are of a high standard and very nutritious. My child has developed quickly emotionally, socially and mentally since starting and I couldn't be any happier.

Overall Experience

Couldn't recommend Busy Bees Wigan, Marylebone enough. My little girl started in preschool a few years ago and her key worker did the best job helping her grow, my little girl adored her. Now my little boy is in the baby room and his key worker is just the best with him. He loves coming to nursery and I will be sad when he has to leave her but I know he will go on to thrive. Love all the staff here.

Review from Amy (Mother of Child) published on 26 May 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Both of my children attended this nursery from the age of 10 months old and both of them love attending. On their first day, I received a photo montage made by the staff of their first day at Busy Bees which gave an insight of how much they enjoyed it. They both formed a bond with their key worker at a very early stage which put me at ease. I can’t fault the nursery at all. All the staff are very friendly and followed our home routine for nap times etc. They always go above and beyond for birthdays/mothers day/Father’s Day/Christmas by making keepsakes. So glad I chose this nursery for my children. I would definitely recommend them for looking after your children. Thank you Busy Bees Marylebone.

Reply from Lindsey Doughty, Marketing Manager at Busy Bees Wigan, Marylebone

I have two children that attend this nursery. I recommend it to any parent wanting the best for their child or children's development. The staff are friendly and professional. They send me constant updates about the activities they have done to the meals they've eaten each day. The nursery always appears very clean.

Review from James M (Father of Child) published on 6 March 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter attends Busy Bees Nursery full time and has a wonderful bond with all of the staff within the baby room. The staff are all really welcoming in the morning and evening and always let me know what she has enjoyed that day. I like the parent app as I can check this in an evening and see what she has eaten and slept that day. I'm also a fan of the new app as this has helped give us support and advice on how to help her sleep at night. My daughter really enjoys nursery and always looks like she's having lots of fun when I pick her up. Thank you to all of the staff at the nursery for all their support.

My child has been at the nursery since the baby room and I could not be happier, the staff at Busy Bees go above and beyond everyday and make us feel so at ease leaving our child. I would definitely recommend any new parents to the nursery and they are definitely an outstanding nursery which they should be so proud of. My child is now reaching amazing goals and is on the way to being school ready with the help from all the staff and the fab term time topic books the preschool room provide which we really enjoy.

Review from Debbie B (Grandmother of Child) published on 20 December 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My Granddaughter started at the nursery at the age of 10 months. She absolutely loves every minute and is always full of smiles when I collect. As a grandparent, I was initially upset that my daughter chose to send her to nursery, rather than allowing me to support and provide childcare. However, seeing the smile on my granddaughter's face melts my heart. She lights up when she sees her key worker and loves exploring all the exciting activities that nursery provides. I now realise that nursery was without a doubt the best decision.

Zoe Davis Job Title: Centre Director
Zoe Davis

Hi I am Zoe and I am a Qualified Early Years Educator. I have attended numerous courses surrounding child development and staff management. I truly believe in allowing and encouraging staff training opportunities. Every child matters, every child achieves and develops at their own stage of development and in their very own unique way. By attending ongoing training opportunities allows not only myself but my staff team to also reflect on the day to day practice being delivered and continually learn new techniques of helping children to achieve and develop to reach their full potential.

I am a true believer that children are only young for such a short space of time, so allow them to learn and develop through play, by providing a variety of exciting learning opportunities for your children to explore.

As a setting, we work very hard to ensure we are a fully inclusive nursery and believe we have excellent, warm and welcoming parent partnerships. We also have great partnership links with the Local Authority allowing us to offer friendly advice and support for children with additional needs.
