Detailed activity logs on parentzone and pictures galore give us certainty (as if we needed more) that our little one is in the best hands.
A fantastic team throughout the entire business - each and every staff member really is a credit to themselves. We could not wish for better care for our child.
My child absolutely loves coming to Busy Bears Day Nursery! The staff are fabulous and there is also a fantastic range of activities for the children, for example, Forest School, where my child loved being able to explore the outdoors whilst being in a safe environment.
Fantastic nursery all round. All the staff are very friendly and helpful!
My child enjoys the wide range of activities that Busy Bears offers, including Forest School and sports clubs. All the staff are professional, approachable and caring. The learning environment is engaging, with a vast choice of resources and activities on offer. The food is fresh and plentiful. My child is making good progress in learning and development and he enjoys going to Busy Bears.
I have found the nursery staff very friendly and professional. The facilities and content of each day are excellent. My grandson loves to attend, has made some lovely little friends and has developed extremely well both socially and educationally. This is all due to the ethos and commitment of the staff.
This nursery is amazing in every way, from the first day my daughter came to the nursery she loved it. The staff are amazing and all put in everything that they have to ensure the children are happy. The food is home cooked and amazing. My daughter has grown to be an enthusiastic, friendly, sociable, and independent little girl. I cannot recommend this nursery enough.
Busy Bears is a brilliant nursery which my daughter attends. The nursery staff are caring and attentive and the food variety is great.
Busy Bears Day Nursery is a great nursery and the staff are all fantastic. They gave our daughter a wonderful start full of fun, interesting experience and excellent care. Staff attitude and abilities are outstanding.
I placed my daughter in Busy Bears when she was seven months. I was nervous but I am very happy with our choice. Nursery Nurses in the baby room are fab, the food is healthy and nutritious. My daughter has developed a lot in the two months she has been at the nursery, staff are very approachable and full of helpful advice. The special carer system is brilliant, my daughter goes straight to her carer and there are never any issues. We are sent photos every day of the activities she is doing. She is always clean when we collect her and enjoys spending time with the staff and children in the room. I would recommend Busy Bears if you are currently looking for a day nursery.
My son was incredibly well prepared to join school and has thrived in his first year, I truly believe the foundations for effective learning were put in place during his time at Busy Bears. My daughter is only just three and will be one of the youngest in her year at pre-school - however, her time at Busy Bears will stand her in good stead and I am sure she will thrive in her new environment. A huge thanks to the team - each of you have played a huge part in our time at the nursery and we'll miss you all! Thank you!
My daughter, nephews and niece have all gone to Busy Bees at Bearpark. I would recommend them and have done so to anyone who wants the best environment for their child. The staff are always happy to help and nothing is too much trouble. A particular member of staff, who is the first face you see at reception during the day, is such a friendly person and seems to remember every child's name and makes everyone welcome. Each room is set up to make every child's day full of learning, play and happy times. The staff make sure that every child has the care and support they need. My daugther has been in every room there. Thank you so much for all the happy times and for looking after my daugther as though she was yours.
Busy Bears is an amazing nursery, it runs really well and the transition between each age group is smooth and easy. The activities they organise each day are fun for the kids, imaginative and educational.
My child has attended right through Busy Bears Day Nursery, he started as a baby and enjoyed attending every day. He has made lots of lovely memories there over the years, made great relationships with staff and other children and has learned so many skills along the way.
I couldn’t fault the nursery. I always feel welcome when dropping off and picking my child up, I feel the staff go above and beyond in every way they can especially with meeting the needs of my child, they focus in well on each, ensuring they are helping each child progress as individuals. The activities that are on offer on a day to day basis are outstanding. I often repeat these at home with my son, the staff are always happy to help nothing is ever too much to ask, they support me with my child not only at nursery but also with home routines giving me lots of advice when needed. There is always a great choice of meals for the children and the portion sizes are perfect and my child never comes home hungry. I feel the nursery is a great value for money.
His mammy shows me parents zone and it is fantastic what it shows about his learning and what happens throughout the day.
Excellent nursery! Thank you!
My daughter loves coming to nursery. She enjoys a wide range of activities in a supportive and caring environment. Staff are also very supportive of the whole family, proving advice and support when required.
This nursery is lovely and has very caring staff who I feel very happy that my child is being well looked after by.
Busy Bears offers a nurturing, caring and challenging environment for children. Our eldest child started at 9 months and progressed through all the stages of the nursery. We were delighted with the care they received, the environment which provided both challenges and nurturing, fostering development and achievement. Our second child is currently midway in Busy Bears and the philosophies and care are still as effective as they were 5 years previously. An excellent nursery with committed and caring staff.
Busy Bears Nursery has been such a great experience for my child. Although he doesn't go full time, he has a great time while he is there, and now runs in on his day and doesn't even notice me leaving. The room is full of activities for him to participate in. Which are both fun and educational. The staff are all friendly and helpful and will assist you in any stage of your child's journey. There is a lot of helpful tools available for you to take home also, such as information on potty training or packs of activities for your child's favourite interest of the time, such as trains or diggers etc. My child always comes away from nursery exhausted, which I think shows he's had a great day. I can't recommend this nursery enough.
This nursery is welcoming as soon as you walk in and all staff are key professionals. Our little girl has been there a month and as a family, we feel so looked after giving us peace of mind and that she will be well cared for. Our daughter also has a visual impairment but the nursery has been supportive and welcoming. The setting is also secure with a manual reception which makes a big difference. As parents, we couldn't be happier.
