Great nursery, would highly recommend. The staff are so friendly. Our son has attended for around three years now and loves it, enjoys going to nursery and we have seen the positive impact it has had on his physical and mental development.

What a fantastic nursery. My little one has been there since 6 months old and she's now 2.5 years old. She's come on leaps and bounds. She's learnt so much and we're always impressed with what she has learnt. The centre director and her team are wonderful. I feel happy and confident to leave my child
and know that she is well taken care of, from the lunches (which sound amazing, I wish I sometimes had her lunch), the good array of activities and the little friendships they make, is wonderful to see. The atmosphere is always friendly and welcoming. Love the team and Busy Bees.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As a mother, I was very apprehensive about parting with my little one. To my surprise, it took only few weeks for that to settle. It's very nice to see my little one smiling during drop off time in the mornings. The staff are extremely professional, caring and friendly. They take the time to discuss
the day and activities in detail during pick up time. Super hygiene is maintained at all times. The food served is all cooked on site and my little one loves it. The staff are experts in weaning, while taking into consideration the food my little one likes. Extreme care is taken to watch for new milestones, in terms of physical and gross motor. They are very prompt in updating us through the app so it adds on to the reassurance that our little one is in safe hands.

After being let down at the last minute by another nursery, we came to view Busy Bees on their open day. The open day impressed us that much so that we signed our daughter up for a place. Our daughter has been there now for well over a month and has settled in great. It's a lovely setting, the staff
are great and the precautions in place for social distancing and health and safety are second to none - we really feel our daughter is safe and looked after.
I wish we had sent her earlier!

I cannot recommend this nursery enough. The staff here are all amazing. After feeling apprehensive of letting my little girl go to a nursery, I know this was the right decision. My daughter has settled in so well and has made lots of new friends and is learning something new every time she goes. All
the staff are amazing with the children and make time to speak to parents so we are kept in the loop on a daily basis.

Our Grandson spent several happy months in this Nursery, before moving away from the area. We have no complaints whatsoever, a happy child is what it's all about at the end of the day!

My little boy has just started at Busy Bees and we are very pleased at how well he is settling in. My son has ASC and already he is interacting with other children, which he wouldn’t normally do. We love parent zone and that we can view photographs and see his progress online. Staff are friendly and
have a good understanding of ASC which will help to support and develop my child’s needs

Fantastic nursery! All of the girls have patience and time for every child. They are brilliant. The nursery chef makes brilliant meals and I love the fact he knows all the kids' names and has time for them. You can tell the girls really care about every child that attends. The nursery is worth every
penny.

Our son has settled in brilliantly, the staff are fab, dedicated and committed to their jobs, our son loves it here. The food is great, it has allowed our son to try food that we wouldn't have thought of! The volume of activities is perfect, it is enough to stop them being bored, but also repetitive
so the children learn as well.

This nursery is fantastic and had become the most important stepping stone in our daughter's learning and development in early years education... Staff and surroundings are second to none and never pick up an unhappy girl always full of smiles.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My 2-year-old twin girls attend twice a week. It has brought them on so well regarding speaking. They are always a bit upset when I drop them off (it's the same when I leave them with family) but the staff are brilliant with them and have them settled within a couple of minutes. When I pick them up,
they are always happily playing away. My girls now know all of the names of the staff and enjoy telling me about their day. There is lots for them to do and they have different areas to play in. My girls know all the nursery rhymes and actions that they have learnt from being at nursery. They are also helping them to learn how to get clothes on and shoes which help me out because with having twins, I don't always get that one on one time to show them how to do things when we are in a rush getting ready. I've only had positive experiences with Busy Bees and would highly recommend them to anyone.

We are extremely happy with the childcare we receive from Busy Bees. Our daughters have a love of learning and the staff put a lot of time and effort in the activities they do. When one of our daughters left for school, the reception teacher commented that she was very capable and could already write
her name etc and we believe that's because of the great start at Busy Bees.
