My grandson has attended Busy Bees now for 2 years and he is always excited to tell me about his day. I regularly use the ParentZone app to keep updated with his development. You can clearly see the staff are professional and make every day enjoyable.

I know that they work really hard to promote development in a fun environment and my child loves attending. All the staff are friendly and happy to talk about my child or any concerns I have, I know I can pop in anytime and be welcomed. Busy Bees was my first choice of Nursery and I have not been disappointed.
Amazing teachers, my daughter is learning more and more every day and her speech is coming on amazing. They do different activities and she enjoys every day she goes.

We love Busy Bees, not only because of the very helpful, friendly and supportive staff but because our daughter absolutely loves it! Her relationship with the nurses is incredible, and we can see they genuinely care about her - and all the other kids. We love how much our daughter has grown and how much she has learned in the one year she has been a 'busy bee', and we enjoy watching her develop into a very clever, skilled and independent little girl. She really enjoys her daily activities and wakes up in the morning asking to go to Busy Bees. I think that speaks volumes about the quality of care children receive at this place. We would recommend it 100%!
My daughter joined the nursery in May 2019 and absolutely loves it! The choice of food is amazing and she especially likes the outdoor area which gives her the opportunity to explore. Highly recommend Busy Bees!

We love Busy Bees so much! My daughter looks forward to coming every week! She mostly enjoys the amazing outdoor space the nursery has. The difference in her is massively noticed.

We love Busy Bees so much! My daughter looks forward to coming every week! She mostly enjoys the amazing outdoor space the nursery has. The difference in her is massively noticed. Her talking and interactive skills have come on a lot since starting. The staff are always straight over to welcome her and always give good feedback. And sometimes more as I ask a lot of questions. I would, and do, recommend this nursery to everyone I talk too.

My eldest child had previously attended Busy Bees and it was a no brainer to use them again when my youngest child came along. Both children settled very happily into Busy Bees due to the exceptional care received from the staff who work there. They really do care about the children and the parents/carers. They have been invaluable in helping my children learn, communicate with others, make friends and gain independence. The nursery environment has been enriching, positive, enjoyable and stimulating for my children and I would highly recommend it to other parents/carers!

This nursery has gone above and beyond time and time again to help me and my daughter. From her initial settling in at 9 months old, to becoming a very inquisitive, active and playful 2 and a half year old. Each member of staff takes their time to get to know each child and their family. Individual assessments are regularly carried out with detailed support plans and next steps for both within nursery and at home. The outside space was a huge attraction when looking for a nursery for our daughter. It has such a wide variety of areas to explore and children access it in all weathers which is something very important to us. Other huge appeals to us are the food, flexibility of hours and the communication of all events, progress and observations of our child on the Parentzone app. I cannot recommend this nursery enough. For any parents out there looking for 5* outstanding childcare - look no further.

We have been at Busy Bees here for almost 7 years. The relationships built with all the lovely staff are priceless. The kids love the staff too. Food is excellent, kids learn so much and are encouraged to be unique, as they all are. Early morning drops and late pickups are available. Also, the before and after school clubs are great. I trust the staff here and they are very respectful and caring. I will miss them.

I love the fact you have a mobile app where you can track your child’s day from what he has had to eat to activities he has taken part into observations that have been carried out on him. The outdoor area is amazing that my son loves. Keep up the good work girls. Thanks once again for looking after my son so well. I really do appreciate it

My child has only recently started at Busy Bees but everything has been great so far. Staff are friendly and welcoming and I feel my child is being well cared for, as well as an interest shown in his personality and his development. The nursery setting is brilliant with a lovely outside area that caters for all the age ranges within the nursery. Would definitely recommend.
I can highly recommend Busy Bees Nursery, the care provided to my two grandchildren is outstanding. The staff, food and resources are also fantastic.

Busy Bees have gone above and beyond for me and my son. He was born deaf, therefore needs specialist attention and care, the nursery have dealt with this need outstandingly. I have seen my son's development, speech, behaviour and confidence improve hugely since starting with Busy Bees. I was...
I would highly recommend Busy Bees Nursery, the fees are fare, they are flexible and helpful when you need it, and the app is fantastic! We love getting daily updates and cute photos of my son's activities and what he's eaten etc. Amazing! Thank you again.
Always supportive, caring staff. Extra activities are superb and son comes home super excited. Ladies in the rooms are always cheerful and interested.

We couldn't be happier with Busy Bees facility, care and support. Our little boy has been at the nursery since he was 10 months and is flourishing under their care. He has transitioned through three rooms and many major developmental milestones so far. Each time he has moved rooms, the care and attention to his settling in has been second to none. Each milestone he has reached, we feel included, and even though we both work full time, we feel like we never miss a key moment. We feel listened to and respected and all the staff are so friendly, especially the nursery manager who is an exceptionally genuine and caring individual.
Brilliant nursery and would recommend.
Both my kids are here and I feel they have come on leaps and bounds and have made great friends.

It is a lovely friendly nursery with fantastic staff who would do anything to help you!! The way they communicate with parents via the app about activities, meals, nappy changes is brilliant and reassures parents throughout the day.
