Overall we are very happy with our child's experience when attending the nursery. She appears to love being there, she loves the staff and it feels like shes learning new skills every week. We are looking forward to seeing more progress in our child's development.

Thank you for your kind words. It is a delight to see your daughter growing into such a beautiful and confident young girl!
Our little boy is so happy at nursery and the staff are so kind and patient. He has had a very smooth transition into his new room and clearly feels happy, settled and secure there. We're so pleased with how well he is doing!

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your kind words. It means a lot to us, and I'm so glad you had such a positive experience. Your support and feedback are genuinely appreciated. Thank you again!
I have twins whom attend here. When they 1st started they was shy, needed alot of support and overtime the staff brought them out there shells. They sit with them when they want to read books and sing songs or even for a chat and when the boys need affection or comfort they do it with open arms....
I really trust them with my boys. They are always willing to listen to me and offer advice if needed with no judgement. I have other workers involved and the nursery attend meetings and offer support were needed. Help doesn't just stay within the nursery setting which I love. I love the app as u can see what the kids have been doing and its lovely to feel apart of it. Management is awesome and deal with any situation big or small. Always kept updated on things. Thank-you guys for helping me raise my boys
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback, its lovely to hear how happy and settled they are!
Toby absolutely loves his time at nursery. His key workers have been amazing from day one and have made him feel so welcome. We're so grateful for the care, kindness, and support they show him when there.

As a very nervous first time parent, these girls have honestly tackled all of my worries and questions with so much understanding and kindness.
Any concerns I've had about my son's development or settling in, they have talked me through it and calmed my nerves with such patience.
All the girls have been so amazing but Chloe and SJ have been absolute stars for my little one and he adores them both.
We'd highly recommend this nursery to any parents hoping for a great support network for their little ones.

We have been really happy with the experience at Busy bees. Our daughter is currently in Buzz 1 and she loves it. She's made lots of friends and really enjoys all the different activities that the nursery provides. She has developed so much since being at the nursery, physically and mentally. She's also become so confident, with activities such as sing and sign and rugby tots. This has helped with her confidence outside of nursery too. The staff are all amazing and caring, in particular SJ and Chloe in Buzz 1 who our daughter loves to see. Our experience at busy bees has been great and I would definitely recommend it to others.
We have been delighted with the staff in Bombos since our son started in February this year. Everyone is very friendly, helpful and attentive. He settled into the room in no time and is genuinely excited when we arrive at nursery and buzz in, this is down to the staff in room who have made him feel...
We are very happy with our sons key worker. Her relationship with our son is so lovely and comforting, especially when he is in nursery 5 days a week. We also really appreciate how helpful and informative she is, and what a keen interest she has in not only making sure our son is happy at nursery but also with his development, which is invaluable for two full time working parents.
Our son loves all the creative (painting, drawing, messy play) activities that the staff put on and the sing and sign classes.
I love that I can drop him off and go to work knowing he's in the most caring and safe environment.
They have great knowledge and procedures around allergies and make sure to cater to all my son's nutritional needs

The staff go above and beyond to follow requests and give advice to support you as a family both in the setting and at home.
There is always a detailed handover and a very happy boy at the end of the day!!
We couldn't recommend them more.

We've had nothing but a positive experience at Busy Bees since our daughter started this year. All staff in the bumbles room are so friendly, helpful and caring. The management team are very helpful and responsive. Our daughter settled so quickly when she joined, and she always talks of the staff so highly. The children carry out various activities throughout the day, and our daughter loves all the outside activities they do (especially rugby tots) and learning new songs. The staff also provide helpful and thorough feedback each day. We are so happy with Busy Bees and highly recommend it.

Really great staff and I’m happy that my children are safe and happy when at nursery, would recommend it! Scored lower on some elements as we had to have service at a different location this week and saw it was better in terms of size and amenities (underfloor heating!), but do understand the restrictions of the current location mean it wouldn’t be the same.

The staff at Busy Bees Pannal Ash have been exceptional in welcoming my child from another nursery. They have been attentive to my child’s needs when going through the transition and made my child feel happy and excited to come to nursery. The staff are very friendly and engaging and want to know about your child so they can help with development and growth in the best way they can. I like that they facilitate open and imaginative play, there is lots of outdoor time, theme weeks, and arts activities to help stimulate a child’s creativity.

We now have two children at Busy Bees Pannal Ash. One has just joined Bombos and the welcome and settling in has been seamless. It's a super friendly and personal nursery with all staff going out of their way to get to know the children and parents. Our little boy has so much fun with all the activities set up by the staff and always comes home happy. Our daughter has been at Busy Bees nearly 3 years now and it will be real a wrench to leave!
Hello, we love reading feedback like this! Thank you for sharing it with us; we will pass on your lovely comments to the team at Pannal Ash. Best wishes, Busy Bees.

Our little boy has recently joined Bombos at Busy Bees and I'm so pleased with the level of care and support he's received, to make sure he really settles into nursery. He's building a great relationship with his key worker, she has shown so much care and attention (and patience!) with him whilst he settles in, as have all the staff in the Bombos room. His room leader has bent over backwards to make sure the nursery offer different alternatives to some of the food items that he's struggling with whilst settling in. My husband and I couldn't be happier with the start he's had at Busy Bees so far and this is down to all the lovely, friendly and caring Bombos staff. Massive thanks to the room leader and all her team!

My career started at Busy Bees in October 2020, I quickly grew to enjoy my role and completed my NVQ with Busy Bees, working my way up to Room Lead, ACD to Manager in March 2025. I love supporting my team to ensure they understand how important they are to help the development of the nursery. I love watching the children develop into little individuals with big characters. I've always had an interest in helping children that may need a little more support throughout their day.I love meeting and talking to new families, providing them with the environment to ensure that they feel comfortable and confident with their choice in nursery.
I also pride myself on communication and partnership with parents and welcome an open-door policy at the nursery where parents can come and speak to me about even the smallest of things this builds confidence and ever-important relationships within the nursery.
