Busy Bees Harrogate Hornbeam Park

They settled in very quickly and it's clear they've built lovely relationships with the staff in a short space of time.

Every day we collect them they're full of smiles and happy, which gives us confidence that they've had a great day.

All the staff and the room leaders made an effort to introduce themselves early on and have always been approachable and have helped us feel comfortable, it's reassuring to know they're in a caring and friendly environment.

Both of our children have attended Busy Bees Hornbeam Park, we have now been going there almost every week for 5.5 years! The environment is always clean and welcoming and the outside space is great. Having plenty of car park spaces right outside the front door is a huge bonus too. The staff have always been very caring, attentive and supportive, especially with our son's toilet training struggles. Both children have finished nursery confident, capable and school ready. We are going to really miss everyone when our youngest starts school! Would definitely recommend!

We moved to the area last year and found Busy Bees at Hornbeam. My previous experience of a busy bees nursery was impersonal and felt very regimented. However , it is the exact opposite at this nursery. All the care workers have been incredible and Danni runs the nursery with such pride, candour and kindness. She always goes out her way to help working parents and really cares. Our little one has settled in so well and we are so grateful.

Staff are friendly and approachable, they all genuinely care so much about the children and go out of their way to help them grow and develop. They listen to our concerns and nothing is ever too much trouble. I was very anxious about my little boy starting nursery and they were so reassuring and offered me extra visits to help calm my nerves. My little boy settled so quickly and he loves going into nursery now. He has come on so much since starting and I can always tell he's had such a lovely day. Thank you busy bees hornbeam park!

There's a lovely outdoor space where the babies play regularly and lots of sensory actives inside to keep them busy.

And the support my family got during a difficult period was amazing.

The nursery itself is a lovely, modern environment with plenty of opportunities for outdoor play, which our daughter really enjoys. We also love the extra activities and initiatives they offer, such as Spanish lessons, as well as things like Book of the Week and Artist of the Week. The topics and activities are always changing, which keeps the children engaged and excited.

Our experience could not have been better. Both the baby room and the preschool room have offered our children exactly what they need - from the nurturing and loving environment of the baby room with a plethora of engaging activities, to the appropriately structured and super fun learning of the preschool room that prepares children beautifully for school. We could not be happier as parents. The nursery director sets high standards and professionalism and communication are top notch. Oh, and the food is sublime - nutritious and varied and our children apparently eat extra portions much of the time!

Also, I am a bit disappointed and that in a note for Busy Bees LTD management that the nursery supposed to have a good air conditioning systems so children & staff don't have to struggle in a currently changing climate - it is time for the company to make same investment!! Also, I am not sure how often the room floors are cleaned by professional cleaning services but I made an observation that the floor area would need a closer attention especially that the kids nap and play on the floor non stop.

My 2nd baby started nursery this year, she was very little, less than a year old. I was anxious and nervous about it. I was greatly reassured. The staff were lovely as usual and helped my baby adapt so quickly. Individualised care was top notch. My daughter loves the nursery and the staff. When we go to pick her up, she's always full of smiles, sometimes laughter and waving at anybody who cares. Happy child, happy mum.

My child has been attending this nursery since he was 12 months old, he goes in happy and comes home happy. He settled straight away and the staff really care for him & get to know their personalities. My husband and I are very pleased we chose this nursery. They eat a great varied meal daily cooked by the onsite chefs too.

Our son started at this nursery when he was just one year old and stayed for a year and a half, until we moved away from the area. Danni, the centre director, is very approachable and clearly dedicated to creating a safe and nurturing environment. The staff are attentive, caring, and genuinely invested in the children's wellbeing and development. The food and snacks are great, and we really appreciated being kept updated through the app. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor space, so it never feels crowded. Don't be put off by its size!

My son is currently in Bombos and is so happy there. My daughter (now in school) also attended Hornbeam Park Busy Bees for over 3 years and got on really well there, so much so we didn't even consider any other nurseries when it was time to find one for her younger brother.

All of the staff are lovely and put on a wide variety of fun and educational activities for the kids which far exceed what I could manage at home. The food menu is impressive and the frequent updates on the app to let you know what your child has been doing are reassuring. Both of my children settled in really well very quickly. The management of the nursery is efficient, the purpose build building and outdoor space are great and the location is so convenient so perfect for commuters into Leeds!

Such good value for money and a clean inviting environment that is thoughtfully set out for each age! The manager D and assistant A are extremely helpful and will constantly go above and beyond to help the children and parents settle in! Updates are often and well detailed and any questions Danni or Aleesha is on with answering them straight away. My little girl is currently in Bumbles 1 with A, M and S, the three of them go above and beyond to ensure my little girl and all the children have the best days! We have noticed that our little one has come on leaps and bounds since moving into this room and can't thank the girls enough for what they do! A ensures that the room is full of inviting and exciting activities, while M our key person cares deeply for our daughter and the feedback we receive is so detailed and always positive! S is very good at keeping the children engaged and excited about group time which is lovely to see when we collect

We decided to move our son from a different nursery to this one - the staff have been amazing, they have got to know him so well and made his transition smooth and enjoyable. Dani (manager) is a super woman and all of the staff are just ace. Communication and level of care is great, the kids have variety and so much fun, would highly recommend to anyone!

We moved our daughters, Phoebe and Lily, to Busy Bees a few months ago after experiencing some management issues at their previous nursery, and we're so glad we did. Both girls have settled in beautifully - the team have been so kind, patient, and supportive throughout. Phoebe's toilet training has been handled brilliantly, which was something we were quite nervous about. It's clear the staff genuinely care about the children's wellbeing and development. We're really happy with our decision and very grateful for the positive start the girls have had here.

Our child has been at Busy Bees Hornbeam park since August 2023- we are so happy with the care our child has received - the staff at the nursery are fantastic - our little boy has thrived since joining. We are so happy we will be sending our second child next year.

After moving from a different nursery, we were very nervous about how our eldest would settle as she had been upset daily at the previous provider. she settled very quickly and we have not had one concern. It's really apparent through feedback that staff understand the children well and adapt to their individual needs. The manager Danni is incredibly helpful and the key worker system works very well. The large indoor and outside spaces are great and we think that will help with the transition to primary school next year as she will be used to the classroom style environment. We would highly recommend Busy bees at hornbeam park.

It's been wonderful to see him thrive and enjoy his time there. Thank you to the amazing team for all that you do!

The team at Hornbeam Park is simply amazing! My little boy is thriving there - he learns so much every day and loves going in. The rooms are bright and spacious, and the big garden outside is perfect for play and exploration. The staff are caring, attentive, and create such a lovely atmosphere. We couldn't be happier with the nursery!
