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.

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.

My daughter loves the place and she is happy every time she goes there. She has been going since she was 10 months old. My daughter is a shy child and gets a lot of attention and help from the lovely staff at the nursery. The staff are very good, I receive feedback every day about what they've done...
I feel that she is well cared for and in safe hands. I'm very pleased with how much my daughter has developed since attending this fantastic nursery!
Amazing staff, very friendly and helpful! I highly recommend.

I recently received my daughter's development summary and I was very happy with what they had observed. She is always in high spirits when I drop off and pick up. The girls at the nursery are lovely and nothing is ever too much to ask.

The care at Busy Bees Ripon is superb a lovely nursery and we are exceedingly happy. Admin has been difficult with endless incorrect invoices, though this is the fault of the poor software used for your finance rather than the staff (or as far as we know).

Kindercare was actually my 2nd choice of nursery for my daughter, however, I went ahead due to availability. My daughter was only 5 months old when starting but the staff have been fantastic in getting to know her and my family in order to find the best way to care for her. She is always excited to see the staff and loves all of the activities. Two ladies have especially made me feel happy during my transition back to work but my daughter really feels at home with all the staff including the manager who always gets a huge smile. Can't thank you all enough.
Absolutely outstanding. My son has been going for a long time and he loves it. He enjoys the outside and all the activities they do. He has made many friends and enjoys nursery every day. I cannot fault the nursery or staff and I am very grateful for everything they do for myself and 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.
