My child has been at Busy Bees Ripon for a year now and I can honestly say it was the best decision choosing them. All the staff have been nothing but wonderful in the support and care they provide for my child. My child has thrived since being at Busy Bees Ripon.
Busy Bees Ripon is an exceptional nursery. Our daughter joined last July and her development has been a joy to watch. She has been consistently occupied with creative and insightful activities, has formed strong bonds with her key workers and we are so pleased with how much she looks forward to coming each morning. From a parent's perspective, the help and support we've had has been invaluable. Every staff member has been caring and considered our daughter's individual circumstances and has felt like the "village" all parents should have. We have the utmost trust and confidence in the centre director and her team and are so pleased we chose to send our daughter to Ripon.
My daughter has been a part of the Busy Bees family for the past 3 years and from the outset she has loved every minute, more so in recent months since being in the Buzz room! Whilst exhausted after her busy days she is always keen to update on the great day she has. From educational and learning new things to having fun with friends she really does have the best day every day! This is without doubt down to the great staff and management, who all take great care, to not only make sure the children are learning but enjoy doing so. The staff are friendly and approachable and always give a detailed rundown of the day the children have had. It is reassuring as a full-time worker that my daughter is in safe hands and enjoys her days at Busy Bees!
Busy Bees Nursery is outstanding! My little boy has Autism and the nursery has been fantastic. The staff are always helpful and friendly and go above and beyond. My little boy is very happy there!
My daughter has attended Busy Bees Ripon since she was 9 months old and is now about to join the preschool room in her final year. Since the start Busy Bees has provided such a nurturing environment, with lots of engaging activities for my child. The staff go above and beyond, creating a safe and welcoming space for all of the children to learn and grow. My daughter goes running in each morning and is so happy every day I pick her up. As a mother, I totally appreciate the regular updates I get on my daughter’s day through the app and the communication from both her key workers and the nursery manager is amazing. Thanks so much for all of your dedicated hard work and for allowing my daughter to flourish in her early years.
Amazing staff, who genuinely care about the children and their development. From day one, I have felt so happy and relaxed with sending my children to this nursery and my children have thrived during their time.

The staff are absolutely fantastic with my son and I would highly recommend Busy Bees Ripon. They are knowledgeable and caring. A few more photos would be nice, but I'd much rather my son was being cared for as well as he is, than staff having to spend time on apps, distracted from the children.

My daughter is having such a good time in the preschool room. She's made good friends, grown in confidence and has developed a passion for learning. Again - the staff have gotten to know her, they care about her and they've developed a fantastic learning culture that will set the kids up well for school.
I'm a teacher myself - and I can see clearly that all the building blocks for starting school are being carefully constructed.
This is just a wonderful environment to send your little ones. Excellent care, good food and wonderful outdoor space.
We love reading feedback like this! Thank you for sharing it with us; we will pass on your lovely comments to the team at Ripon. Best wishes, Busy Bees
Honestly, cannot praise this nursery enough. My son went from 2 years old until school age and my daughter started there at 9 months old. They are super supportive, I love the updates I receive on the app and the photos and they couldn't do more for the kids in their care. Cannot recommend enough.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a wonderful review! We're glad you're giving your little ones the best start in life with us. Best wishes, Busy Bees
I really cannot fault the staff at Busy Bees Ripon Day Nursery, my little boy has been going since May last year and it has been absolutely amazing. Brilliant communication with how he is developing, what he's done day to day and things they are going to work on with him to help his development.
Wow! Thank you for this glowing review! We are delighted your little one is having a good experience at our Ripon nursery. Best wishes, Busy Bees
Lovely staff who have always done their utmost to make my two children aged 2 & 4 feel happy, settled and relaxed. They have formed strong bonds and friendships. They have developed in confidence and ability during their time at Busy Bees. The smiles as they run in says it all.
My 11 month old son has attended Busy Bees at Ripon since January 2021. He loves it! The staff have been amazing settling in my boy, they are helpful and friendly and keep me up to date with his learning and daily activities. I would recommend to parents this nursery.
My daughter has loved every minute of being at Busy Bees at Ripon. She runs into her class room every morning she attends and tells me all about her day when I pick her up. The staff have always been very friendly, helpful and supportive. My daughter’s key workers have bonded well with her and helped her develop in a number of skills. I would highly recommend!
My daughter started at Busy Bees in March 2021 she has settled in amazingly. This is due to all the kind and friendly staff. She always comes home telling me about her day. Lots of great activities like painting, drawing, arts and crafts and outdoor play. Every morning we are greeted with a smile. The manager and lady in accounts are very helpful and nothing is too much trouble.
Every time I pick my daughter up she is always so happy, she tells me how they look after her and are very fun. The team always make time to tell me about my daughters day and nothing is ever too much trouble. I would strongly recommend to everyone.
A fantastic early years space. Our daughter has been so happy and connected since starting at ten months. The staff and management put the children at the centre of things and genuinely care about their well being. As our first child, choosing childcare seems such a huge understanding, and I could not be happier with her start in this. My daughter loves her key worker and buddy, often talking about them at home. Could not fault Busy Bees at Ripon.
We have had a good experience so far after our child started in August. It took her a while to adjust and settle in but the staff have been great and I feel they really have taken time to get to know her "ways" and make her comfortable. She goes on a morning no problem and now always has a fun-filled day. Long may it continue.
Excellent, lots of feedback on the day, advice and support.
Staff are very kind and welcoming. Our children have settled very well. Food is all lovely and homemade and large portions.
Busy Bees at Ripon have been fantastic with my son, all of the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. They are supportive, especially when I was starting to Potty train my son.

Hi, I am Jennie.
I have worked for Busy Bees since July 2018 and have been at the Ripon Centre since January 2021 after having my own little boy. I hold a Level 4 NVQ in Childcare and Development and am currently studying towards my Level 5 Lead Practitioner.
I have always had a passion for childcare and have worked in the sector since 2006, either in Nursery settings, children's centres or as a family support worker.
I am dedicated to ensuring that every child who comes through the doors is given the best care and opportunities to learn and grow. I believe in building strong working relationships with parents and carers as we support the children in their early years.
I am proud to lead my team and strive to support them as they develop and grow their own knowledge and skills in Childcare.
