Busy Bees Harrogate South Drive

The baby room staff are amazing with my little girl- they are really caring and supportive of her. We always receive great updates about all the fun bits she has been up to. They are great and we are so grateful to have great people look after our little one!

Our daughter started Busy Bees at 11 months old. She has had a fantastic experience. We've seen her come along and leaps and bounds. She loves singing, being outside in the garden and engaging in the Daly activities that the staff put on. We're so delighted with our choice of nursery.

Our son is thriving at Busy Bees South Drive. As an only child, his days at nursery are so important for his social development and it's been a delight to see how much he has grown and bloomed over the last 2 years. The staff are so supportive, caring and friendly, to parents as well as the children! They go out of their way to make each day the best possible experience for the children in their care. Thank you to you all!

My son started this nursery a few months back and the change i have seen in him is amazing, he's more confident chatty and happier. He has settled straight away and all of the amazing go above and beyond. They are always willing to help when it's needed and always have a smile on their faces. Highly recommend this nursery.

I feel very comfortable here and my only negative feeling is that I wish we had made the change to come here sooner.

Our 2 children recently started at Busy Bees and staff have been caring, kind and nurturing to help both of them settle in a new environment. Lots of updates to parents and brilliant communication. The parents communication app is easy to use and intuitive.

Days are full of fun and varied activities in a warm and caring environment.

There are regular updates and pictures of what he has been up to always something new and exciting! Would definitely recommend!

As first-time parents, starting nursery felt daunting, but the reassurance and support we received from day one made the transition so much easier. Seeing how relaxed, confident, and happy our child is - along with the other children in the group - really highlights how well organised and thoughtfully run the nursery is.

Thank you all!

Our daughter recently started at South Drive after us making the decision to move her closer to where she is likely to start school. It's been the best decision, she has settled in so well and come on so much in the few months she has been attending. From the first visit to the settling in session, all of the staff have been incredible. So welcoming and helpful. Samantha the manager couldn't have done more to help with the transition. One thing that massively stood out was during her first visit, Gabbie one of the staff didn't greet me first she got down to my daughters level and introduced herself to her first. The way they treat the children is brilliant.

As first time parents all new starts make us apprehensive, but we've felt so reassured by the team from day 1, and seeing how comfortable and happy our child and the other children in the group are, really makes us appreciate how well the nursery is run.

Lovely staff are great with the children. Both of our children have been happy attending the nursery. It's a smaller building compared to most which gives it a homely feel. The children sometimes go down to the stray which is nice for them.

We switched our child from a large nursery to Busy Bees South Drive for its more personal, family-style care-and haven't looked back. With smaller groups, staff quickly learn each child's likes and routines (their favourite toy is already a nap staple!). The cosy, home-like setting and detailed daily updates via their app make us feel connected to their day. Flexible, child-led activities-outdoor play, sensory trays, simple experiments-keep them engaged. Busy Bees South Drive offers the warmth and attention every little one deserves.

The manager has always been understanding and caring and will always advocate for all of the kids, exactly the same if and when issues do arise.

Friendly faces every morning, wide range of activities, staff care about the kids. Even when the snow and ice were here, the team made it in to open the nursery, clear the paths etc., which makes a big difference for working parents!

I cannot recommend Busy Bees South Drive more. From day one, both our children have been incredibly happy here and love going into nursery every day. The staff are incredibly warm, nurturing and clearly passionate about their work. They genuinely care about each child as an individual, fostering their unique personalities and supporting their development in every way. The nursery itself is bright, clean and well-equipped with a fantastic range of indoor and outdoor play areas. Our children love exploring the garden, engaging in creative activities and learning new skills through play. The communication with parents is excellent. We receive regular updates on our children's progress and feel fully involved in their learning journey. The staff are always approachable and happy to answer any questions we may have.

Overall, Busy Bees Nursery provides a positive and enriching experience for both children and parents. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a well-managed, caring, and communicative nursery. We love it!

My child could not be happier in nursery. He runs in each morning to hug his teachers and has made some wonderful relationships. He considers his room leads his friends. Sometimes he tells me he isn't ready to come home at pickup.

The team at Busy Bees South Drive are fantastic. They are always caring and attentive around the children's needs. They clearly go to a lot of effort to ensure the kids are getting a wide range of engaging activities. They have taken the time to get to know my daughter and we have felt involved in developmental updates and working towards milestones collaboratively with the team.
