We couldn't be happier with the care and support our daughter has received. From day one, all of the staff have been so kind, welcoming and genuinely caring, making her feel safe and happy every day.
It's been lovely to see how much she has grown in confidence and learned new skills.
Communication with us has always been excellent, and we know she's in safe hands whenever she's there. We are so grateful to everyone for the love, patience and dedication they show every child.
We would highly recommend this nursery to any family looking for a safe place to look after their child!
We've always felt confident leaving our girls in their care, and they've played a big part in helping them settle, learn, and develop. I would and do recommend them to any parent looking for a nursery where their child will be well looked after.
Both my little boy and little girl have gone to Busy Bees since they were 10 months old. They have the absolute best time every day! The staff are always lovely and helpful and take great care of both my kids. I am super grateful to have found this lovely place. I will be sad when my little boy leaves to go to school in September.
I cannot praise the staff highly enough. Every individual is kind, caring, thoughtful and seems to genuinely take an interest in our daughter's development.
It is clear from the photographs we are sent, and the updates that we receive, that our little one is settled, well cared for and most of all has lots of fun.
The management is very good, the nursery is flexible with swapping days and I have had no difficulty when I have requested extra days if something has come up. Our daughter has only been sent home unwell a couple of times, and on each occasion it has been for a valid reason.
I would, and do, recommend this nursery to anyone who is looking for somewhere for their child to start.
It has been so easy for my daughter to settle at this nursery and the staff have been so kind, caring, and thoughtful with her time there. They keep us updated throughout the day and form genuine connections with the children in their care. All the children seem to enjoy their time there, and the staff are always planning new activities to help them learn.
The communication is excellent and we really appreciate the updates and photos we receive. It's so nice knowing she's happy and seeing what she's upto.
We feel so happy with everything they do to obviously ensure our little one is safe and happy but also bringing her on developmentally.
We can't thank the staff enough for all that they do.
My son attends pre-school and is being well-prepared for his educational future ahead and undertakes a wide range of fun activities, indoors and out.
My daughter attends the baby room, her care is overseen by two members of staff, in particular. I cannot praise these two staff members enough. My daughter is attentively supported by the team and has so much fun at nursery. She is able to take part in so many creative, sensory experiences. Meanwhile, she has been supported in becoming independent in her dressing, loves to play and engage with books and gets plenty of time outdoors. The two members of staff are so gentle, kind and very professional - Busy Bees Nursery should be proud of their hard work.
Since the day my boy stepped into this nursery, we have been welcomed with open arms and smiley faces. Nothing is ever too much for the staff or managers, very thoughtful and professional group of staff that listen to your every need. My little boy smiles every day arriving and leaving and has built an amazing connection with his key worker. Thank you to 5 staff members in particular, for all of your help with settling my little boy into his new setting, all of your efforts do not go missed.

My daughter loves going to nursery here. The staff are friendly and attentive. She is in the baby room still and the room manager is fantastic; professional, respectful and takes time to chat to us at the start and end of each day. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds from attending this nursery.

We love to see the updates during her day, especially the photos. All the team are so helpful and kind, but I have to say a special mention to one staff member in particular. You are so wonderful to our daughter and have an amazing bond with her. You show how much you care and we are immensely grateful to you.
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
I was so anxious starting nursery, but my son has really settled in the baby room and that is down to the amazing staff. Two of the staff members have both made so much effort to get to know him and make the transition as easy as it can be. My son is developing so much and growing in confidence each week. He has such a great relationship with his key worker, which is great and puts me at ease. They keep me well informed on his day and I love the photo updates and the artwork that comes home! If I ever have any questions, the manager is always really helpful and responds quickly. I couldn't fault our experience so far. Thank you!
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.
Both my children attend at this nursery and they love it so much, as do we! Staff always welcome them both in and they literally run in, as they are happy to be there. Our daughter is in the babies/toddler room, her key worker is fantastic, as are three other staff members and the room leader. Although we miss her, we know she is having lots of fun and is very well looked after. We get a full rundown of activities and how she has eaten and drank. Our son is in the tweenies room and loves nursery and talks about it constantly at home! Four staff members, in particular, are all we hear about at home. Our son never wants to leave to come home and loves being in nursery. Again, he is greeted warmly and we always get a full rundown of his time spent there. Special mention to the chef, our kids love all the food that is served. I can't thank all the staff enough. We feel very reassured, knowing they are in such good hands.
Lovely nursery. The staff in preschool always welcome the boy I care for with big smiles and he is happy to go in of a morning and is always smiling at the end of the day, telling me about his day. He has built lovely relationships with his key worker, staff and children in the room. There are always lovely activities going on and they cater for his food needs.
My daughter attends this nursery and loves it. She has a fantastic relationship with her key worker, other staff are also enthusiastic and show lots of interest in what we have been up to at the weekends. The management team are also very friendly and approachable, they are always on hand to help with any queries. I love the updates through the app and seeing my daughter happily exploring the many wonderful activities is such a lovely thing for us to see. Couldn't recommend the nursery enough!
We have been with Busy Bees, Thurstaton for just over a year and have been very happy with our son's time there. He loves his nursery days and has thrived. All the staff are lovely and do the best they can for the children in their care. He adores his current key worker and so do we.
Thanks to all the staff at Busy Bees, Thurstaston for the care, support and guidance you've given my son since he started, two years ago. All the staff take a special interest in how my son is getting on and the things he has been up to, outside of nursery too. He is always greeted with a big smile and warm welcome in the morning at drop-off. He is animated when talking about the things he's done throughout the day. Special mention to all the staff in the preschool room, but three in particular. You have all supported my son's transition to preschool and he loves all the activities you do. When we've had a tough morning, you're all always there to support my son to have a positive day and two other staff members who always make me and my family feel so welcome in the nursery. Their excitement and bubbly personalities are infectious. The enthusiasm and care they have for the children they look after, is evident.
Amazing, friendly staff, who are great with my little boy. They always engage him in lots of fun activities and he has developed massively since joining Busy Bees. The app is always kept up to date by staff, which is great, so I can see what my child has eaten, what he's done etc. This app is amazing, as it allows me to see just how much my little boy enjoys being there!
Could not ask for more from the nursery. Friendly staff and my daughter loves coming here. With my daughter having a food allergy, myself and her mum are very careful with what we give her and when we told the nursery, they were very understanding and have been so helpful and careful, ensuring that she can have a healthy and varied diet without myself and her mum worrying that she will have a reaction.
The whole team is wonderful makes us feel welcome and at ease. I know my son is well looked after and has a great time, once he settles in. Our key worker is just fantastic! Thank you!
