Review from Dave O (Father of Child) published on 7 February 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We are just delighted with how our two children have been cared for at Busy Bees. As a team, they are simply the best and our two children are in the safest of hands, and they have come on so much as a result of being at Busy Bees.

Review from Laura C (Mother of Child) published on 11 January 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending Busy Bees for the past 10 months. I cannot fault the staff. The care providers in the Baby Room are exceptional. They are always friendly, knowledgeable, professional and genuinely caring. It is very difficult and emotional to leave your child at nursery, but I have total confidence in the staff. My daughter has built a close rapport with the staff and I can tell, even at 16 months, she loves going to nursery. My daughter has flourished since attending Busy Bees. Her communication is fantastic and her social skills, especially with other children, are great. She's an only child which made it so important to me that she learned to interact well with other children. Busy Bees has assisted so much with that. I am very impressed with the food and the efforts the chef makes to give variety. If my daughter isn't keen on what is provided (which is very very rare!) the chef provides an alternative.

Review from Karen P (Mother of Child) published on 17 December 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Busy Bees Ayr is a wonderful nursery - primarily because they create such a beautiful, homely environment for the children in their care. My son has attended since the age of 16 months and he has flourished in that time. Now, with less than a year until he starts school, the staff are investing much time to prepare him for this transition, and educationally he is coming on leaps and bounds.
Every member of staff brings a unique skill set to the organisation, and all of them feel like family. The chef provides outstanding food choices, and the management team are incredibly helpful. Nothing is too great an ask.

I would recommend Busy Bees Ayr with no hesitation.

Overall Experience
The staff are so friendly and professional and always make my daughter feel so comfortable to go inside. She loves her days at nursery and the staff always give me so much information about what she has been up to and how she’s been.

Could not ask for more.

Overall Experience

We love Busy Bees at Ayr. The staff, facilities, food, learning, care, effort, events. My daughter has developed so well since she started at 7 months.

Thank you for being so lovely to us and teaching our daughter more than we could and to enable me to work full time.

Overall Experience
I have always found the nursery to be friendly and my son really enjoys going in each day he is there and loves telling me about all the varied things he has been doing each day.
The staff and food are fantastic.

I have found even though the nursery has gone through some staff changes recently they have reassessed and pulled on all the staff's strengths and made the nursery a well-balanced place to be.

Review from Louise H (Mother of Child) published on 23 March 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I have been very pleased with the care given to my child. The staff are always friendly and welcoming at drop off and all necessary information is passed on at pick up. Each room is bright and always displaying the children's artwork, allowing parents to see what the children have been learning about. A great range of activities are on offer in each room and as each age group have their own garden, the children often get out to play. My child is always excited to go and often reluctant to leave!

Overall Experience

My son's overall experience of Busy Bees at Ayr has been great and with all the notes and documents the staff have done I am left with a lot to hold onto. I would say the 3-5's room could use some work, in fact, I feel they do not keep a good watch all the time and there is not enough preschool work being done.

Alison Noble Job Title: Centre Director Joined: 2010
Alison Noble

My name is Alison Noble, and I am the Centre Director here at Busy Bees Ayr.  

I have worked for Busy Bees since November 2010, and I have a real passion for working with children and following their progress as they learn and grow. I worked at Ayr for 7 years and in one of our nurseries in Glasgow as Assistant Centre Director for seven years, before returning to Ayr as Centre Director.

 I am very proud of the nursery and the team working with me within the nursery. They all come with a wealth of experience and knowledge, and this is evident in our everyday practice. We aim to provide a homely environment where children can learn and thrive. I pride myself and my nursery on the relationships built between staff, children and parents and try to go above and beyond where possible to ensure we are getting it right for every family who comes to join us. With the help and support of the wonderful staff team, we can provide the care and education that every child deserves to enable them to have the best start in life.
