Busy Bees Harrogate Hornbeam Park

Highly recommend Busy Busy Hornbeam Park!

I'm really happy with how fab the nursery are with him and with us.

Honestly would highly recommend busy bees Hornbeam park.

My daughter has recently started here and all the staff have been so lovely, she is only little but seems to love going. It seems like a friendly environment that I feel safe taking her to. I love that I get photos of what she's doing during the day and the staff always take the time to fill me in on how her days been when I collect her. Huge thank you to Millie, Amy, Hayley and Dani and the rest of the Busy Bees team.

Thank you!

An exceptional nursery whose staff go above and beyond in every way, nurturing, educating and caring for the children there. They're responsive to each child's needs (my daughter has allergies), the staff are educated, empathetic, and they truly care about the children. I'm never worried when I leave my daughter (she attends three x a week) and I write this as a parent who tried several nurseries in the area before settling on Busy Bees. It's the only nursery I know of with not only huge spaces both in and outdoors but importantly (I'm a former teacher), an engaging and academic curriculum which helps to prepare children for school-even teaching French. To have my 3 year return home with a surprise, "Bonjour" recently, was wonderful (especially as my husband is part French). I highly recommend the nursery. Big shout-out to the excellent manager Danni (no problem is too big or small and she's so level-headed and lovely) and the fab staff, especially three members of staff in particular. Thank you!

There has been a slightly higher turnover of staff than we would wish for which is a problem common to many nurseries. Whilst this isn't ideal it has been managed in a way to minimise distress to the children and parents have been kept informed.

Super nursery, amazing staff and brilliant fun had by my boys every day. Lots of emphasis on play but so much learning done too, love the artist focus and book of the moment that we can read about at home!

I'm so impressed with how the team at Busy Bees Hornbeam Park have reassured me and facilitated the settling in of my daughter. The communication, flexibility and what seems to be genuine care for me and my daughter has made a stressful experience as un-stressful as possible! It's v early days so I can't fairly rate every aspect, but am feeling v optimistic and confident I've picked the right place for my daughter. Thank you

My child has been attending since the start of the school year. I have noticed incredible progression with his development since he started with the nursery. He loves his class lead, sometimes i feel more than me, as he always rushes off as soon as she arrives at the door. He is always kept as clean, well as clean as a toddler can be, well fed and happy. We always have an update to how his day has been through the online portal. I cant fault the nursery for anything and would recommend without a shadow of a doubt to any parent looking for the best nursery to send there child.

The kids love coming to Busy Bees, and the staff work incredibly hard to give them a fantastic experience. Clear communication with us as parents, with an easy drop-off and pick-up process. Everyone does a great job, and we look forward to our children continuing their development at Busy Bees.

Excellent nursery, the program done for my son's transition to school has been superb and really well thought out! He has had a great last 6 weeks! He comes home full of new knowledge and has always had a great day! The staff have been excellent towards him and very nurturing from baby to preschool years! We will be sad to leave for his next stage in life at school.

I value the ethos at Busy Bees and would highly recommend it to others.

Only negative feedback is related to fees/costs - I know of other nurseries where illness-related absences mean you don't have to pay or can transfer days of attendance to other days of the week, which is not the case here. Easy to grumble about costs in this economy, but that's no reflection of the quality of the service.

My son has been at Busy Bees Hornbeam Park for just over a year now and has loved his days there from the start. The activities created by the staff are so imaginative and creative and give the children the freedom and space to discover and learn both on their own and with guidance. His brother is due to start at Busy Bees next year and I feel so relieved knowing that they will both be in such a positive environment when I go back to work. Thank you Busy Bees!

I would definitely recommend this nursery.

Having sent both my children to Busy Bees Harrogate Hornbeam Park, they both love it here and are always excited to go in. The staff are so caring and will go above and beyond what is needed, getting them ready for school.

Despite the recent turbulence of staffing and sickness, due to covid (of staff and children alike), my daughter has always emerged with a smile on her face, no more so than since moving to Buzz in January 2022. She's challenged, she's learning, she's building confidence in a safe and fun environment and the carers do truly care. Thanks for making the hard decision to leave my child to go out to work, that little bit easier.

We have found the nursery staff/team to be very friendly and caring. Our little boy loves going to nursery and some home full of what he's done in his time there. We have seen his skills grow and his speech and vocabulary develop.

We are extremely pleased with the learning experience and care our little boy gets from attending Busy Bees. He loves going to nursery and the staff are fantastic! We thoroughly recommend this nursery.
