Busy Bees Darlington

My child has attended this nursery for over 3 years, they are committed to providing the children with a safe, happy environment whilst developing their motor and communication skills. I particularly like that I am able to use apps to check what my child has been doing at nursery, and apps to continue the learning at home. When I have needed childcare for unexpected reasons, they have accommodated where possible. Overall, a great team, and will recommend to others. Thank you.

Our son really enjoys coming to Busy Bees. Everyone there is friendly and he's made lots of friends. He was given a cuddly bumble bee which has become his treasured item and something he'll have to remember his time there in the future. All in all, he is very happy here.

Busy Bees at Darlington has a very nurturing environment in which our little boy has made excellent progress. His key worker has consolidated learning he's started at home and has taught him many key skills. All staff strive to ensure children are safe and secure in their learning environment. They allow children's personalities to shine through. An amazing place!

As a grandparent and childminder (of over 30 years) I think Busy Bees Darlington is the best nursery I have ever used. The staff and management are friendly, caring and very knowledgeable. They welcome every child as they enter and I feel that the children are very safe and well cared for. All the children that have attended have been happy and really enjoyed their time with the nursery. Fab nursery.

My son has attended over two different classrooms now and I can't recommend the nursery enough. It became clear that he has need of extra support and they are over and above in their help, even as we pursue a diagnosis. Always supportive and positive, always doing fun learning activities. Fantastic organisational skills and facilities are always clean. Their kitchen staff are as good and friendly as everyone else. My daughter came here 12 years ago and many of the staff are still here now, which says a lot about how dedicated they are. I can't recommend them enough or thank them enough for their support with my son. They really listen.

We are pleased with the nursery and would recommend it to others.

My son recently moved to Busy Bees from another nursery. He has developed so much in a short space of time. He's coming home happy and full of stories of what he has been doing. The communication between staff and parents is excellent along with the app. It's lovely to receive updates and pictures showing how happy he is. I can't fault Busy Bees at all.

Amazing nursery. Caring staff. My son has thrived since starting and staff are always kind and patient with him and always welcoming. Cannot recommend the nursery enough.

Busy Bees have been extremely helpful in settling in our 3-year-old who at first didn't want to go at all and would cry a lot. Thanks to Busy Bees for being a safe, fun environment, our daughter soon settled and is very comfortable with the staff.

Excellent nursery! Staff are always very friendly and great with the children. My little girl has come on so much since coming here (2018) and she enjoys nursery that much that she never wants to leave at the end of the day. I would definitely recommend to anyone that wanted a great nursery.

My little boy loves Busy Bees he recently moved up a class and has settled brilliantly. All his teachers are lovely, keep me up to date with his progress and are excellent at encouraging him. The Xmas nativity was fantastic, it was a credit to the team and really showed how much effort went into it.

My daughter has attended this nursery since 9 months old and is now in her last year at 4 years old. The nursery has been fantastic for her confidence and development. All the staff are welcoming and attentive and really take the time getting to know each child. My daughter really enjoys her time at nursery and is always telling us about her day and how the staff have helped her make something or learn new skills. Overall this nursery is fantastic.

I have been very happy with the care my daughter receives ay Busy Bees Darlington. My daughter goes in now no problem having got used to the routines of the nursery. The staff are very approachable and willing to help with anything, they always communicate well, inform me of how my daughter has been throughout the day and seem to really care about her. They update the app parent zone regularly also give regular observations of development. My daughter loves attending room 2 and always seems happy when we collect her.

I enrolled my daughter to Busy Beed when she was only 6 months old and as a first-time mum, choosing somewhere to take care of her was a daunting prospect. My concerns were very quickly put to bed upon meeting with the staff in Darlington. From my initial contact to my little one now being 19 months old everything has been exceptional. They have taken time to get to know my little one in every way possible and I am incredibly confident that she gets all the learning that she needs along with genuine care from the friendliest most conscientious staff. Busy Bees nursery have not only looked after my little girl they have been super accommodating with my working mum needs and I wouldn't change nursery if you paid me! Incredibly grateful for everything.

My daughter has only started in January but has really settled in well, the staff are so friendly towards her and she loves going every day. My daughter is always keen to show me what she has been doing and staff are supportive of like potty training and naps. It's a relief knowing she's in such great hands.

We couldn't have chosen a better setting though, she has thrived in the baby room. All of the staff have been fantastic and she really enjoys her days coming to nursery. The range of activities that are available to her are far more than we could offer at home and tailored to her likes and interests.

My two girls have been at Busy Bees Darlington from a young age, they are full-timers and absolutely love it, they skip in through the doors every day. The staff are excellent and clearly care a lot about the kids. The food is healthy and diverse. The girls have learnt so much and are always coming home having learnt something new. I would recommend this nursery every time. Thank you Busy Bees Darlington!

In the time my son has been at Busy Bees the care he has experienced has been fantastic. The staff are very knowledgeable and they ensure the activities are fun and educational. All staff ensure a high level of safety and have been fantastic when dealing with my son's food allergy. My son has thoroughly enjoyed his time here and his key worker, along with the team, have ensured he is ready and prepared for starting school.

A very bright clean and well-maintained place, lots of toy selection. Differently daily toys/activities even for younger children. Staff are professional. knowledgable and build a strong relationship with the children knowing their ways and needs.

My son enjoyed going to Busy Bees and was always happy when we went to collect him.
