We are really happy with Busy Bees Stotfold. Our son has been in the Bombos room (1-2yrs) for almost a year now. He settled really quickly into the nursery and has a lovely relationship with his key worker and all the room staff. He loves the food, toys and activities and really enjoys the outside space too. We like that the Busy Bees app is easy to use and we can easily check from our phones what our son has eaten, how long he has slept for etc. The staff are professional and caring and we know that our son is well looked after while he's at nursery.
She has thrived whilst at Busy bees and continues to learn every day and will be more than school ready. The staff are warm and welcoming and provide excellent care to all of the children.
We've had a really positive experience with this nursery. The management within the setting itself is excellent-professional, approachable, and clearly committed to creating the best possible environment for the children. The whole team are warm and caring, and it's clear that the wellbeing and happiness of the children are at the heart of everything they do. They all work incredibly hard and are always striving to improve. My child enjoys going there every day, and I have peace of mind knowing he's happy and safe. I truly appreciate everything they do-they are an amazing team of women working in an incredibly important vocation, which is very tiring but so valuable.
My grandson attends this Busy Bees at Stotfold and I cannot praise the staff enough as he is thriving. He absolutely loves going to nursery every single day. The staff have been amazing with assisting our potty training journey. I cannot recommend this nursery enough.
The activities they plan are always so creative and engaging, helping the children learn through play while building confidence and social skills. We've loved seeing how much our little one has grown, not just academically but socially and emotionally too.
The environment itself is bright, clean, and thoughtfully set up with lots of spaces for different types of learning and play. It's clear they put a lot of care into creating a stimulating and safe space for the children.
Thank you, Busy Bees Stotfold, for making our son's early years so special - we're so grateful to be part of your wonderful nursery family!
Lovely Nursery, Staff are really good and get to know the children individually and what they enjoy doing. Both of my Boys have come here and have had a great experience. Transition between rooms for us has been really smooth as the children get to do taster sessions in their new rooms before moving.
Our son happily goes into nursery every morning - which for any parent is the most important thing with childcare. They do a really good mix of activities with the children; indoors and outdoors. He really enjoys the food, and they have boards up telling you what the food is each day. The staff are really friendly, and the management are approachable if we feel like we need to discuss anything with them. I would definitely recommend this nursery to anyone looking in the area. It is also smaller and therefore less intimidating than others we looked around.
We love all the staff and are extremely thankful for everything they do for the kids.
All the staff are great and we've seen my child come on so much in his development. They take the care and welfare of my child seriously, where they have spotted signs in development they want to assist with, which is great.
Her speech and development have come along so much recently from attending, its so nice to see. She is also eating such a nice range of foods which i love.
She is very happy there and loves it. Thanks so much
I have been very happy with the nursery. My daughter has settled in so well. Her key worker has been very supportive and caring and my daughter is loving the outside space. She doesn't want to come inside!
The ladies at Stotfold Busy Bees are amazing!! They have helped my daughter settle in and help make the transition back to work seamless. She loves going and is truly happy there.
Thank you for all your hard work ladies xx
We absolutely love Busy bees Stotfold. The teachers are so caring and attentive. My Son has been going for a year now, he has made some great friends and always seems like he is having so much fun, sometimes so much fun he doesn't want to come home.
My 18 month old girl is going to Busy Bees since she was 9months old and she loves it! We are very pleased with the care that she is receiving. Staff are very friendly and caring. She loves her key person and bonded very quickly with them. They have made her transition from home to nursery and between rooms very smooth! Managers are always available and very accomodating to our little ones needs. New and loads of activities for children to do and enjoy! Overall we are very happy that she is going there.
Honestly such a wonderful place! The staff make you feel like family. The games, activities and learning provided are loved by my child. He's always very proud of his artwork he brings home. The keyworkers work hard to communicate with all the parents. The feedback about my child's day is always useful. I'm so glad I chose this nursery and preschool! Keep doing what you're doing!
My 2-year-old son absolutely loves attending Busy Bees Nursery. The staff are warm, welcoming, and clearly passionate about providing a nurturing environment. He's always excited to go in the mornings and always seems to have a great time. The nursery is clean and well organised, and the activities are engaging and fun. I feel confident that he's in good hands and I'm so grateful to have found such a wonderful nursery. Highly recommend!
My son started Busy Bees Stotfold in January 2025 and has settled in so quickly. He loves spending time with his key worker and everyone who works there. We have noticed changes in his development already which is amazing.
Busy Bees Stotfold is amazing. When we were first looking for a nursery, we found many that felt too clinical for us or were just run down and dirty. As soon as I walked into the door for Stotfold Busy Bees, it felt like we were walking into a home away from home environment. The staff are always excited to see my boy in the morning and great at dealing with his mischievous antics. The meals are always nutritious and have a great variety. My boy has come on leaps and bounds with his social and communication development since attending the nursery and the ladies who work there are very patient with all my questions and enthusiastic to give as much advice as we want on how we help my boy's development at home.
Recommend this lovely, caring, and professional nursery.
Lovely nursery with caring staff. Activities relate to key activities such as Mother's Day. Food is prepared by a dedicated chef and is nutritious. Outside clubs come into older classes for exercise and music classes. Child has developed and has a little friendship group.

My name is Abi Fordham and I am the Centre Director, I work Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, so Carly Briody my Assistant Centre Director steps up on Wednesdays.
I have done my Level 3 qualification through the Busy Bees training team and they were so supportive, making the course as easy as it could be! Once qualified I got a promotion to Room Manager and did my Level 3 Leadership and Management qualification. From then I was promoted to Senior Room Manager and I then came to Stotfold as an Assistant Centre Director. After gaining some experience I worked hard to get the Centre Director role. I am now a Mum to an amazing little boy who enjoys nursery life as much as me! I feel lucky to be able to make a change in these little people's lives and give them the best start! Seeing each child’s journey be so unique and different is incredible!
I look forward to welcoming new families into our beautiful nursery.
