Busy Bees Nursery

Busy Bees Durham has been a great nursery choice for my older son since he was 8 months old. I have been impressed with the staff friendliness, professionalism, care and family attributes.

The staff and facilities at Busy Bees are excellent, staff are very welcoming and they really do care about the children.... the key worker for my child has been superb and she has been a big support for us. Thank you

Busy Bees have looked after 2 of my children and I cannot fault the service. The children have access to lots of meaningful activities, outdoor play with lots of opportunity for social interaction. They offer a fabulous menu and also are extremely flexible to the needs of both parents and children. All round superb service.

I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone. The staff exhibit high levels of attentiveness, commitment and dedication, treating each child as an individual, helping them develop and learn while having fun in a safe, relaxed and caring environment.

My eldest daughter attended Busy Bees from 6 months to 4 years old and the youngest is currently placed there (aged 2.5) and has been since 6 months old. I could not recommend this nursery more. My children have developed, thrived and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of their time there. My youngest bounces into her room every time we take her and she regularly tells me how much she loves her special carer. The carers are beyond amazing, the facilities outstanding and I feel so happy leaving my children here.

We are very happy with Busy Bees and would happily recommend.

I would highly recommend Busy Bees, it’s given my son the pre-school confidence he needs to make the transition to primary education.

I leave every session knowing she will have a fantastic day. The staff are passionate about their jobs and really care about each of the children they care for. I love the family feel of the nursery and the warm and welcoming feeling right from the minute you walk in the door. Yes, private nurseries are expensive but they are an investment in your child's future and choosing this nursery was the best decision I made for her future. Her development from attending from a young age has been fantastic. Busy Bees is a hidden gem. Thank you for being wonderful!

It's a fantastic place for children. My grandson has come on amazingly - I love picking him up he does lots of fun things and the staff are so welcoming. They tell me all about his day and they do so much. Would highly recommend the nursery.

I am very happy to recommend Busy Bees. The staff are friendly and supportive, they have a good range of facilities and always seem to be doing varied and interesting activities with the children. They are flexible and willing to make changes where needed. Both of my children settled in well and enjoyed/enjoy attending.

Having such a calm environment is great for the children and the structure throughout the day works extremely well. I often plan to stick to the structure this nursery sets (meal times, play times, reading times, etc) and it is a good balance. Especially following the same meal times as this prevents my child having snacks.

Our Grandson has attended Busy Bees for the last 7 months and we have seen a big difference in his confidence. The Nursery has been very accommodating with his food allergies and has provided meals especially for him. We have access to the parent zone app which is fantastic and gives us the opportunity to see what activities he has been up to on a daily basis. We are very happy with the support and care given from staff who are always there if you have any concerns. Thank you, Busy Bees!

Busy Bees is an absolutely fabulous nursery! Myself and my partner work different days every single week and the nursery has never failed to accommodate neither have they minded us changing our mind last minute.

I feel completely at ease dropping our son every week, he always settles really well and when he does cry it’s lovely to see the staff comfort and reassure him. They provide us regular updates on the Parent Zone app each day and it’s great to see what he gets up to. Our son has come on so much since being at Busy Bees and I couldn’t recommend them enough! The staff are fabulous and I can’t fault anything they do.

They are always giving the children different activities to do and always supplying fresh healthy food, I can reassure any parent that they wouldn’t regret using this nursery. Can’t praise them enough.

I am a mum of three boys who have all attended Busy Bees over the last six years. Over this time, all three boys have enjoyed their time at Busy Bees and have all made lots of new friends. Staff at Busy Bees really appear to care about the children and are always keen on trying to cater for their individual needs.I have also always been really impressed with the way in which staff communicate with parents. Management at the nursery have always been available to discuss any issues and are very approachable and willing to help. Overall I am very happy with the care my children receive at Busy Bees nursery.

My son started in February and although he only attends one day a week he has settled in well. Staff are friendly and always there to help. I like the blog facility so that I can see what he gets up to whilst I’m at work! The nursery is also good at accommodating my husband’s shift work. Would definitely recommend!

They provide lots of toys and activities to develop curious little minds and allow them to explore the outside whenever the weather permits. I would recommend them to anyone.

Both my children have been to Busy Bees. The staff are great and work hard to make sure that they are happy, settled and thriving. This has been particularly true with my youngest who has special educational needs. Staff have taken on board advice from us and other professionals that have supported her development and we have in turn benefited from the input of nursery staff. The nursery has a good atmosphere and there is a lovely outdoor space for activities too. Staff are very friendly and approachable.

I cannot rate Busy Bees more highly. My son is now in his 5th room preparing to start school in September and the time he has spent at busy bees has been educational and full of fun.

All staff greet my son and family by name on arrival and when leaving and will go above and beyond to help with any queries or questions at any time.

Key workers have a personal relationship with each child which ensures they receive differentiated activities and the nursery experience is tailored to them and their development.

My son has loved his time at Busy Bees!

I’ve found the nursery environment and staff very inviting and supportive. We are always welcomed at the door by the staff, they are helpful in answering queries and I know I can speak to the Nursery Manager about anything in complete confidence. My little girl settled quickly into the nursery routine and has come along leaps and bounds in the year that she has been there.

My son absolutely loves coming here and my daughter will hopefully be starting soon. I’m sure she will thrive and flourish here as he has. I feel very lucky to have such a great place on my doorstep for my children to be a part of as they learn and develop.
