We have experienced nothing but good things at Busy Bees Edwalton. The staff are excellent, they really care about the children & creating a fun & safe environment. We are very happy we chose this nursery as our childcare provider. Keep up the great work guys!
I'll be sad when she leaves to go to big school, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery to anybody. WONDERFUL!
The staff cover a wide range of languages and cultures which is great for our daughter who has a Cantonese half of the family.
Overall we love busy bees, our daughter loves every day and is developing so well from the experience
Wonderful nursery, where all staff are exceptional and the children adore them. The nursery is a fantastic space where they all go above and beyond for all children. Communication is always consistent for updates, and the activities look engaging and children talk fondly about what they've been up to.
Great nursery with friendly staff and a nurturing atmosphere. The enviroment is safe, welcoming and full of engaging axlctivities. My children are always excited to go and come home happy and learning new things.
The nursery excel in delivering developmental activities for my child whilst keeping it fun and fresh. They also provide healthy and nutritious meals which are varied.
The management team are brilliant, and the nursery is evidently run extremely well. 10/10 would recommend to any parent.
Has helped my childs confidence/development! Highly recommend.
Our son has been attending Busy Bees Edwalton for just over a year. We have found the staff friendly and approachable. We have confidence they are keeping him safe and providing a great atmosphere for him, he seems to love his nursery days.
Your little one loves his nursery days and has transitioned really well from Bombos into Bumbles.
We cannot fault Busy Bees. Our little boy loves going to nursery, he has made so many friends and and formed lovely relationships with the staff. All the staff are so welcoming and friendly, and management are so accommodating of any issues/changes. I put off my son going to nursery as I was so nervous until he was over 2, but I have already signed my daughter up to go as I have such trust in the team that they will make it a positive experience for her. Also, a huge plus our son eats all of his dinners at nursery - including veg!
Absolutely fantastic nursery. My child was made to feel welcome and settled in really well. Cannot praise the staff enough - friendly, engaged with the kids and parents, personable and caring. Love the activities and the app - good to see what they have been getting up to each day and that their development is important and monitored. Brilliant location and facilities. I can go off to work reassured that my child is safe and will have a brilliant day. After viewing lots of nurseries - so glad we chose Busy Bees Edwalton.
Both of my daughters attend Busy Bees Edwalton and have done for some time now. I can't praise them all enough for the support I have had from when my first daughter started. She didn't settle straight away but the staff went above and beyond to make sure she settled in, nothing was ever to much so for that I am great-full. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking. 5* all round.
My daughter has been going to Busy Bees Edwalton for more than 6 months now. She transitioned from under 2 to 2 plus so I had experience of both baby and toddler rooms. The staff are very attentive, polite, caring and the management is excellent. There staff are extremely engaged with the children and always participate in one or the other activities with them rather them just laying out the stuff in front of them which was quite different from my experience of a better rated and more expensive nursery in the same area. There rooms are very well stocked with multiple activities for the kids. Also I get regular and relevant updates on the app. All in all a very positive experience.
When I first placed my son in Busy Bees I was a little nervous about the nursery in general, the staff were so welcoming and took the time to go through everything. Now, 1 year on, this has been the best decision we have made for our son, sending him to Busy Bees Edwalton. The staff are fabulous and the nursery is run very well! My son loves going to nursery. I highly recommend Busy Bee Edwalton, thank you, guys!
My son has been attending Busy Bees Edwalton since September last year. He has some additional needs and I must say the manager, the SENCO, his keyworker and two teachers, in particular, are the most amazing people I could wish my child to be around. They are all professional and at the same time have a great bond and understanding of him. I am grateful that I found Busy Bees and even though my son only goes one day a week, they absolutely made a huge impact and difference.
The staff are nurturing and attentive and we have appreciated the daily updates on how my child is doing.
The varied meals are fantastic and always enjoyed by my little one.
The nursery always runs engaging activities suitable to the age and I have seen my child's development come along in leaps and bounds.
The location of the nursery is ideal for dropping off and picking up every day.
Busy Bees Nursery has ultimately felt like an extension to our family and we are so glad we chose to send our child here.
My 18-month-old son has been attending this nursery for about a year. I have nothing but praise for the staff who take their time to get to know him and go above and beyond. My son's development, social skills and confidence are due to the support of this nursery. They are happy to talk to you and provide advice when needed.
10/10, 5 stars whatever metric you want to use they're at the very top.
Myself and my wife champion BusyBees to our family and friends for the fantastic service they provide and how much our daughter's development has progressed under their care. We also know they are lovely individuals who truly care about each and every child.
My daughter started Busy Bees Edwalton when she was 9 months old, we were so nervous, as first-time parents, but as soon as we walked in, we knew she would be okay. The nursery itself is beautiful, so clean, well looked after and for every event/special occasion, the staff go the extra mile to set the nursery up to embody the theme which is always exciting to see. Even from the first tour, I knew the staff were going to care for our daughter as if she was their own and they have exceeded our expectations. Now, our daughter runs into nursery every day without turning to say bye, she is so excited and so comfortable here and that is credit to the staff, the learning environment and the overall atmosphere of the nursery. The app was everything we needed whilst she was settling in as they update you on meals, naps, bottles and amazing photos capturing her day, even now when I get the photo updates they make my day. I can’t recommend this nursery enough. 10/10, thank you!
My son has been with Busy Bees since April 2023, aged 10 months old, he’s always been a clingy baby so no surprises when he didn’t settle straight away. Busy Bees handled this so well, always meeting his needs and keeping me in the loop. A year on, my son sometimes doesn’t even look to say bye to me as he’s eager to get in! I can’t sing the staff's praises enough, you can tell they really care about the children and love to update me about my boy, whether it’s through the app or a chat when picking him up. The facilities are great but it’s the staff who make this place the one to choose.
This is an amazing nursery. The manager and the staff go more than an extra mile for the parents and children there. My child was slow to transition into nursery life with being very dependent on me which proved difficult with going back to work, and this nursery gave my daughter lots of patience and reassurance for myself and her dad. We are extremely sad to have to withdraw her from the nursery as we have had to move out of the area otherwise we never would have taken her out. They have set the bar so high for her next nursery I'm not sure how they will compare. Thank you Busy Bees Edwalton and to all the staff!
