Review from Marta S (Mother of Child) published on 8 March 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

From day one I have felt at ease leaving my child there. The staff is lovely and they prepare different activities every day that are very engaging for them. My child has a lot of fun and is happy to attend. The facilities are great and very clean. They have a huge range of toys and materials for the kids to enjoy, and an outside area as well. The menu is very good too. I am very happy with the nursery really, I know he is being well cared for every day, I can't ask for more.

Overall Experience

So impressed with this nursery! Their care is second to none, and communication is great. Particularly good for additional needs; within 3 months they had identified a potential needs and an assessment had taken place and additional funding was procured to support both provision and child. Highly recommended.

Review from Catherine R (Mother of Child) published on 8 March 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has settled into Busy Bees Headingley really well after starting a few months ago. The team are kind, caring and professional. My daughter is happy in the mornings when I drop her off. I trust the staff and I know they look after my daughter so well. The app is great for seeing pictures, what she's eaten, and how long she has napped for. The staff do so many fun activities and crafts with the kids. The rooms are a good size with lots of toys and learning spaces. The outdoor space is great and I love that they take the kids out for fresh air whenever they can. The food is healthy and my daughter enjoys the meals. The staff are great at giving you feedback at the end of the day. I know my daughter has a fun-filled day when she attends nursery. I'm really happy I chose Busy Bees Headingley.

Fantastic nursery, our little boy absolutely loves going to Busy Bees Leeds Headingley and the staff are all brilliant, they’re all so caring and they do so much with them. His eating has really come on since starting nursery and also his development.

Overall Experience

Our twin boys love going to nursery. The pictures and updates we receive during the day are brilliant. They have been playing with sand, water, paints, visiting the park etc. The staff really know our boys and how to help them develop. Since going to nursery they have improved their drinking from bottles and they have been encouraged physically e.g. walking. We have also been to two parties, Halloween and Christmas where we got to meet other parents. We would fully recommend Busy Bees.

Review from Chloe P (Mother of Child) published on 8 March 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son started nursery in January for the first time, we have been so impressed with the high standard of communication with parents and how well the staff got to know him so quickly. His key worker took time to learn his routine in order for him to settle quicker, she takes the time to thoroughly feedback to us at the end of each day and the updates throughout the day are amazing, he always looks settled and happy! The safety measures we have seen so far are excellent too, we feel very relaxed leaving him here and he has so far taken part in a lovely range of activities.

Overall Experience

I am over the moon with the care and teaching that my son receives at Busy Bees Headingley. My son enjoys going to nursery and has built positive relationships with the staff team in his room and says their names often at home. It was a very anxious time for me when he started nursery, returning to work after a long time and allowing others to care for my son but I couldn’t have been more reassured by the team at Busy Bees. I know my son is not only safe but he is also engaged in a wide variety of fun activities, his communication is encouraged and he comes home messy which I know is a sign of a great day! Communication via the app is excellent and adds to my reassurance throughout the day. We love to see the photos uploaded and what he’s had to eat in the day which helps us to plan the evening after a busy day at work. I couldn’t be happier and would recommend it to all my friends and family in search of a nursery.

Amazing nursery. Our little boy loves going in each day. He has formed excellent relationships with his key worker throughout his time at the nursery and made some lovely friends. Swapping days has been accommodated when needed and are really helpful in letting us know the developments our little boy is making.

Overall Experience

I have two children at Busy Bees Leeds Headingley (aged 2 and 4 years) every day I drop off two very happy children and most importantly I collect two happy children every evening. As a working parent knowing my children are so happy is everything. Alongside this, my children have made friends are learning key skills (academic and physical) and having new experiences. This is all down to the amazing staff.

Both of our boys have loved going to Busy Bees Leeds Headingley for the past few years, and have received great care from the team, who have helped them come along a lot. All of the rooms and staff are great, and the boys have always enjoyed the food and various activities every day too. The parentzone app is also excellent for seeing what the kids have been up to.

I cannot fault our daughter's nursery. She is so incredibly happy here and it is pure joy seeing her enjoy nursery so much. We all love the staff, especially her keyworker and those involved with her direct care. She has progressed so much developmentally since she started 4 months ago. I have 100% faith that they are looking after our daughter and have no concerns. The food seems amazing too. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts x

Review from A P (Mother of Child) published on 26 January 2021 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Busy Bees has been our choice of nursery for both girls, now 4 and 1-year-old. We are very happy with the setting - it is safe, welcoming and supportive. The children get plenty of support in their personal development at any age, the activities are always fun and around the current time of year (i.e Halloween, Xmas, Easter etc). The food is great and the staff are all wonderful. This is reflected in how much the children like to go there, we always see smiles of their faces.

I especially like the new App, it is great to get a glimpse of their day. Well done and thank you!

The staff at Busy Bees nursery in Headingley are absolutely fantastic. My son has been attending this nursery since he was 1; he is now 4 years old and my second son now also attends this nursery. The staff are professional, kind, compassionate and genuinely care about my kids. They know their personalities and help them to grow their little characters. My sons have both learnt so much at this nursery including nursery rhymes, games, numbers and the alphabet. They are amazing!

Our daughter has received excellent care and clearly loves attending nursery. The staff are enthusiastic and clearly bond closely with the children. We have had issues with receiving correct bills and trying to explain and correct the errors has been frustrating and has taken longer than it should have.
