Review from A B (Mother of Child) published on 28 April 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son has been attending the nursery since December 2025, and he has come on leaps and bounds since then. His eating has improved so much, he is talking more, and he has become more sociable.
I was apprehensive about sending him to nursery at first because he had eczema and allergies, but the care the nursery has provided for him has been amazing and I really can't fault them. They truly go above and beyond to follow his healthcare plans, his dietary requirements are always met, and any reactions are discussed with me.

You can really feel the love and care they have for him from the way he has bonded with the staff and how they speak about him. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone!

Review from Kaila J (Mother of Child) published on 24 April 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Staff at this nursery are so lovely, my daughter enjoys going to her daily session and is always smiling.
One feature that i really like is the app that provides updates of your childs activity through out the day. So even when at work you can view pictures and comments on daily activities.
Class rooms are always tidy and has age appropriate toys for children's development.

Overall lovely nursery.

Review from Leah M (Mother of Child) published on 15 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

This nursery is absolutely amazing! In terms of caring for my little girl, the love they share for her, her excitement seeing her teachers and little friends, the detailed feedback from the teachers, the activities she gets up to, the learning, the nutritional meals she has, the daily diaries too. Honestly, they go above and beyond to make her happy and make me a happier parent. I feel comfortable to leave my little girl here and she's the happiest she has been. My daughter is always learning new things and excited to express herself to me every day! I highly recommend this nursery x

Review from E O (Mother of Child) published on 1 September 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I honestly couldn't fault a thing. The staff are wonderful and the facilities are excellent. My son attended Busy little Bees nursery for almost two years, and during that time he developed in leaps and bounds. The staff are always flexible, understanding, and provide regular updates in the app which I loved. I enjoyed seeing what my son had been up to every day. The staff have created an environment where it's clear the children are genuinely happy. I'll truly miss dropping my son off each day and hearing all about his adventures there.

The only thing I wish they offered is excursions outside of the nursery, as we had at our previous nursery which was always a hit with both parents and children. Other than that, I've been extremely happy with the service and would wholeheartedly recommend them.

Reply from Hafsa Zaman, Manager at Busy Little Bees Nursery - Handsworth Wood

Thank you for your lovely feedback. We'll be sure to pass your kind words to the staff team. It has been a pleasure looking after your child and he will be missed dearly. We're also excited to share we will be arranging external trips going forward to make the children's experience even more fun and enriching.

Review from F K (Mother of Child) published on 27 June 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We are really happy with the care and services provided at the nursery.
Our daughter had a very difficult time settling into nursery, however, all the staff members were very supportive and trialled different strategies to help her settle in. She now really enjoys the nursery!
The app they use allows us to keep track of her activities throughout the day and the staff members are always willing and keen to give oral feedback at the end of the day.
They put on different workshops which allows us parents to get involved with the nursery which is such a valuable experience.

So far, we are pleased with our experience.

Review from H F (Mother of Child) published on 20 June 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

At first I was not happy with the way updates were recorded on the app of how my child was in the day. In the 4 hours of her session, there would only be one picture of her with no description of what learning is taking place. I did inform her key worker and when I did I was pleased with the fact that she quickly acted on the feedback so now I get detailed updates on every activity that is taking place so, as a mother, I am reassured that there is learning taking place for my child who is quite advanced for her age.

Reply from Hafsa Zaman, Manager at Busy Little Bees Nursery - Handsworth Wood

Thank you for your review. I am pleased we were able to act upon your feedback efficiently. I will pass your feedback on to your child's key person. Our staff spend quality time with the children throughout the day to ensure we embed the highest standard of learning and care. We will continue to provide our parents/carers with detailed feedback through daily handovers and parents' evenings.

Overall Experience

My son started at Busy Little Bees Handsworth in April, I have never used private nursery services before, and I had a bit of apprehension, however settling went well, staff were supportive and giving me reassurance. I had a look around prior to choosing the location. This is a really nice, clean, bright and spacious environment. I want my son to be more autonomous and I think staff will support him.

Overall Experience

My son started here at the end of August 2023. He came from a nursery where we had a bad experience, but here he was shown nothing but love and patience whilst he transitioned into his new surroundings. My son has fit in so well and built strong bonds with all the staff. He now goes to the staff happily and forgets to say bye to me and his dad. Love this nursery!

Daily photos of the child in nursery which is lovely to see and reassuring. Grab and go breakfast for parents which is such a nice touch. Would highly recommend it.

The nursery staff are amazing and friendly. My daughter is very happy with the way the staff work and enjoys all the activities they do with her. The staff keep you updated with what the children have done. They also have an app where you can see what the child has been doing while at the nursery and they also help on other areas at the parent's request which makes it more helpful.

Review from Majida S (Mother of Child) published on 25 June 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been attending nursery since January and we have come a long way since then. Absolutely fantastic staff not only is he fully potty trained and off nappies but he also enjoys snacks and dinners and believe me he wouldn’t even eat anything. That is all thanks to the support and encouragement of the nursery. My son absolutely loves nursery. He is happy and settled. His speech has improved. He can count and recognise numbers and some letters now. I want to say thank you to all nursery staff members for doing such an amazing job.

Hafsa Zaman

Hello, My name is Hafsa Zaman and I am delighted to be responsible for Busy Little Bee's new site in Handsworth Wood. I joined Busy Little Bees in 2020, having worked in the Early Years sector for 9 years and in a management role for 5 years in various settings.

I have years of invaluable experience working with children with Special Educational Needs and therefore recognise the importance of ensuring all children are given equal opportunities in order for them to grow and develop which is at the centre of my vision. Being very family-oriented, I understand the importance of forming close partnerships with parents/carers in order to support children to reach their full potential. I am extremely passionate about Early Years and being able to play an important role in shaping our future leaders. I pride myself on working as part of a highly skilled team to create a nurturing environment for the children to thrive.

We offer each child a unique and individual learning journey through purposeful play and the creation of thoughtful environments. My aim is to inspire children to be inquisitive and creative by offering a wide range of experiences to give them the best start in life.
