Busy Bees Nursery

Our oldest daughter has jusy finished her last day in Nursery prior to starting School. What can I say - she has absolutely loved her time at Busy Bees. She started nursery at 9months and during that time she has grown and developed into a lovely little pre schooler, I cant thank the staff enough. The staff have been incredible. They're so friendly and welcoming. Everyone will bend over backwards to assist, they are flexible and accommodating. Thank you again for all your hard work.

Highly recommended!

We would highly recommend Busy Bees to prospective parents/carers. Our grandchildren have loved every minute in the excellent care provided by all the wonderful staff at the Nursery. Thank you all so much!

I'll be forever grateful that Busy Bees has been a part of my child's journey!

My little boy attends Busy Bees nursery and has done since he was 10 months. I can honestly say I would recommend this nursery to anyone! The nursery is truly child centred, with the child being at the heart of everything they do and organise. My little boy is very happy there and I trust the staff wholeheartedly with his care. Everyone is so friendly and the staff in my little boy's room know him very well, down to his individual needs and his little quirks. I have been able to ask the staff for support with my little one's eating and speech, both of which I have seen notable improvements with since, after being listened to carefully. Handovers are so informative and I love hearing about what my little one has been up to. I also love the updates via the app what the focus has been that week, and the weekly newsletters keeping parents up to date. After being nervous about returning to work and leaving my little boy, I truly couldn't have hoped for a better experience for us both!

There are also little attention to detail factors that make a wanna be type A mom (but realistically not) really happy. Like themed take home bags if you want, a weekly newsletter, a good app and additional emails ranging from health updates to general hints and tips and themed events. A very cute recent example was the extra care the team put in place when I mentioned we were struggling with teeth brushing. The following week they had a pretend dentist session and learnt all about teeth brushing and I got a little reward chart with stickers. it really helped. We love being part of the busy bee family x

My little boy attended Busy Bees before starting school and my little girl (16 months) started a few months ago. I cannot say enough in praise of this nursery. When we returned with my little girl it was like coming back to family. The staff are exceptional - expert in the care they give, kind, warm, friendly and so attentive to the children. The programme for learning is expertly tailored to individual children- my little girl has blossomed already. The physical setting is maximised so children have varied and interesting learning experiences - my little girl just loves going to nursery where she has such a choice and variety of different learning experiences every day. The thing that gives me most confidence is that I know that anyone who has looked after my children really knows them - the feedback I get at pick-up is so true to my kids that I am totally reassured that the carers know them and have really looked after them. And both my kids are so happy at Busy Bees.

I really love the atmosphere of the nursery and the friendliness of the staff. Feel happy in the knowledge that my nephew is in safe hands when at nursery. He is always telling me about the things he's learnt and done.

We love Busy Bees! The staff are so welcoming and friendly, making us all feel comfortable about leaving our little one in their care. Our little girl has so much fun and she loves the food! Mighty monsters and trips out on local walks are a hit with her. Little lovely extras at Christmas time like cards and homemade decorations are lovely too as well as the bacon sarnies for Father's Day! We can't thank Busy Bees enough for looking after our little one.

Our daughter has been at Busy Bees Nursery for 3 and half years and has happily moved through all of the nursery rooms. We are very happy with the service provided and feel that the progress she has made in her development has been supported by Busy Bees Nursery. Staff are friendly and take the time to get to know the children and their families. The provision provided is stage appropriate and lots of home learning ideas are provided to support families. Children are encouraged to be independent learners and encouraged to ask questions in order to learn more. The children are regularly taken for learning opportunities outside of the nursery, including walks to the nature reserve, library visits and trips to the care home all of which our daughter loves. The meals are healthy and well balanced and children are encouraged to try new foods. Communication is very good and we have always felt well informed of our daughter's day.

My daughter loves nursery, smiles on drop off and when we pick her up she is full of smiles too.

Busy Bees is an incredible nursery with the kindest staff that put everything into making sure the children are happy and safe. We have seen huge progression in our daughter's development since starting at the nursery and I feel this is because of the fantastic activities that the nursery provide for the children every day. I feel very involved in everything because of the regular updates on the app and the thorough communication at the end of the day from the members of staff. Most importantly, my daughter is happy after every day spent at Busy Bees and as a parent that is all I can ask for, I would highly recommend the nursery to anyone who asks and can't thank the staff enough for all they do for the children.

Busy Bees is an amazing nursery with staff that go above and beyond for the children and parents. They follow all of their policies to ensure the safety of children. My daughter started in September 2024 when I returned to work after maternity leave, I was feeling anxious about leaving her but the staff made me feel completely at ease which made my return to work much smoother. My daughter has settled in brilliantly and her development has thrived since starting Busy Bees. She enjoys going every morning and she comes out every day happy. The staff ensure there are engaging activities to support their development and offer a continuous range of activities on a daily basis. I couldn't recommend the nursery enough, the staff are amazing and should all be very proud of the fantastic job they do.

I would strongly recommend.

Thank you for the last four years.

Just about to come to the end of nine years of sending my two children to Busy Bees. It's a fantastic nursery with great staff and wonderful facilities. After nine years, Busy Bees feels like family to us. We're so sad our youngest child is ready to start reception and they'll definitely be tears on her final day! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend the nursery to any other parents.

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Busy Bees. The staff are incredibly caring and attentive, creating a warm and nurturing environment for my daughter. She looks forward to attending each day and has made wonderful progress. Highly recommend this nursery to any parent!

We looked around at a few Nurseries before we settled in Busy Bees but we just had a great feeling about it. I am so delighted that we were proven right as our little boy has been so happy and engaged throughout his time there. The staff have been so caring, considerate, friendly and professional throughout. The Nursery Manager actually went above and beyond so often in supporting us with great advice around applications and paperwork when we were struggling to get our heads around it all. What an amazing nursery. We are actually sad our son is now leaving for School but we will definitely be back for School Holiday Clubs between School terms. I cannot recommend Busy Bees enough and it deserves so much more than just a 5-star rating. Ofsteds exceptionally high scores for Busy Bees are not wrong.

We have had both of our children attend Busy Bees Nursery and they have received excellent care during their time there. They have developed their educational and personal skills which has prepared them well for transition to primary. The staff are very kind and caring and have taken excellent care of them both at all times. Our little boy has loved his visits to the local care home, singing and dancing for the residents. The garden is great for the children to play in and has plenty of activities for them to do. The food provided has always been of an excellent standard and if you arrive to collect during tea, they have always provided a takeaway container to have at home. We would highly recommend this nursery to anyone considering it for their child.

My eldest attended Busy Bees Nursery a few years ago and it was an obvious choice for my youngest. His development has come on immensely since attending and even with his recent health issues, the staff have been outstanding with the help and support they have given him and us during a very difficult time. The staff are all so kind and caring and our son looks forwards to going each morning. I would highly recommend Busy Bees to any parent looking for a nursery.
