Very disappointed, requested funding placement ONLY, asked for a full day & half day. Explained how previous nursery accommodated according to funding hours. Questioned why child would be attending such long hours (8 - 1) (8-6) found this strange again because previous nursery only allowed child to attend the 15 hours funding as requested. Only once in placement & after questioning yet again - was it explained that the funding is covered in that time frame & anything extra must be paid by parents. This is not an option, it will leave us very low on funds come the end of the month when nursery invoice us. Child has only attended 1x 2 hour settle in session, 2 half days & 1 full day. Have attempted to withdraw placement & been informed to provide 2 months notice. Meaning again we have to pay for another month & child will loose out on other placements which have being researched & who will happily take child for funding hours only. Security is very lax as well and concerning.

Our daughter is leaving in two weeks to head off to school and it's bittersweet. She has had a wonderful time here and has some lovely relationships with other children that we hope to maintain. She's also built lovely relationships with the teachers there too, and she'll be sad to not see them everyday as she does now. The staff are kind and nurturing and I know she and my now 6 year old son were in very capable hands. Thank you for everything you've done for Oscar and Isla, you've set them up so well for school.

Our little one has been going to Busy Bees since she was 9 months old, we couldn't be happier with the nursery. The activities she does, the fun she has, the love she's shown. It honestly is the best nursery for her. She loves going in and gets so excited when we pull up outside. We are always welcomed with a hello, no matter what room the staff are from they will always have time for her. I had a rough start to the year and the staff helped support me and my family as well as keeping things normal for our little one. Busy Bees Wootton Fields is really a family friendly setting, we love it there and all the staff too.

Sent both my kids here. I dare say they are one of the best in the country. I viewed other nurseries and tried two other outstanding nurseries in the town before Busy Bees Woottonfields. Their facilities and cleanliness are by far the best compared to other places I have seen. Staff are always kind and helpful. Both my kids have wonderful memories here.

My son has came on leaps and bounds being at this nursery since April 2024, his confidence and development skills have come on tremendously. the staff are loving and caring towards the children and gives every bit of their time, love and care for them. the environment is very safe and clean for the children to learn and to play in. My son is very happy to attend everytime and I thoroughly enjoy listening to how much fun he's had during the day and the new things he's learnt since being there! They are really great at taking their time to inform you about how your child has have been during their day, what they have been doing, so it's a positive feed back from a positive parent :)

A really good nursery. The staff members know my child's needs well. They give personal attention and help her all the time. some of the staff are the best as they prepare a bottle of warm milk before my child leaves the nursery.

Busy Bees Wootton Fields staff have been fantastic with our daughter, especially since having our second baby in December. They supported our daughter in prepping for a new sibling, with acting out with toys on how to help and supportively talking about the baby to come and her family now he is here. They suggested books for this transition but also many others, such as potty training, emotions and differences. We also cannot thank you enough for getting her potty trained alongside many of her friends after two failed attempts at home but I believe having her friends all do it at the same time supported her cracking it this time. As she wanted to be a big girl alongside all of them! I can honestly say our daughter has thrived in the last year in so many developmental leaps and this is down to the knowledge and support you have here at Wootton. Thank you!

We have had a few issues with our childminder which left us short of childcare. We are moving to Wootton next week so spoke to Busy Bees Wootton Fields and they have been excellent, especially the assistance centre director. They have been very speedy in getting us the information we need and very excited for our son to start officially next week as the facilities look great. So far, have had an excellent experience.

The team have been amazing since the day my little boy started! He has come so far since joining and would highly recommend to anyone who needs an amazing nursery. Excellent nursery. Very friendly, professional team. My son's language is brilliant.

I'm very grateful that I chose this nursery for my son, I can see a good development since he started. He loves going there and don't want to leave when is pick up time. The team is very kind and lovely.

Our son suffered a Febrile Convulsion in November 2023 resulting in a period of time in hospital. We were nervous about re-starting nursery after a number of weeks of absence. However, the team at Wootton was great. They worked with us to settle our anxieties and put a plan in place to check our son and his temperature. They communicated well with us via calls, pictures, and notes, which enabled us to feel relieved and confident he was well looked after. Following through to now (08/25) the staff are still as diligent as they were then. We feel confident that our son is settled and thriving. Thank you.

Our child has been going here for around 8 months now and settled in very nicely. We are very happy with everything as a whole. Our child has built good relationships with the staff in their room. The staff made our child feel very welcome and have been great at keeping us up to date with our child's progress. We enjoy the app and its regular updates.

My experience at Busy Bees Daycare has truly been wonderful, to say the least. My daughter started her journey in the baby room and is now blossoming. Myself and my husband have had the privilege to have an amazing team of staff taking care of our daughter's every need and teaching her little life lessons as she explores her way through different activities set up for the day. We are very appreciative all the hard work, care and attention which goes into planning parent and child events as well as the daily needs and activities set up for the children. I would most definitely recommend this wonderful safe place for any parents with small children. Thank you.

A very welcoming and friendly environment. The staff are excellent with our two children who attend the nursery. They genuinely care about our kids and genuinely connect with them also. A superb environment for kids to develop.

Had a couple of issues at the start but one of the centre directors went above and beyond to rectify things for us and we have become so comfortable and happy with how my daughter is coming along there. Sending your child to nursery is difficult and nerve-racking for any parent but seeing how well she is doing has taken all that anxiety away. The centre directors have always been very patient and helpful with any queries we have had and every staff member we have found has been very pleasant. My daughter loves her time there and we can really see how her positive experiences at the nursery are reflected in how she is at home. We have now increased her sessions as she loves it so much and plan to increase further over the next few months as we are so pleased with her progress.

Everything about signing up was efficient and quick. My daughter does get sad when I leave her but staff say she is fine 5 minutes after I leave. My daughter seems to be trying new foods and actually has started being less fussy at home with food. There is an app but it's not really updated, sometimes just to say she's eaten a snack. I would like more photos and showing her being ok to put my mind at ease and to show what she has been learning/playing. The staff all seem caring and give you a brief update on what they've done in the day. Some ratings I had to mark as satisfactory as I just don't know the answer.

A kindergarten with very good conditions, pleasant atmosphere! Very nice and caring staff with the highest level of attitude. Delicious food. My child is very happy to go to this nursery. I recommend Busy Bees Nursery.

My child is always happy when he goes to nursery, he’s also happy when he’s there, he’s started learning more. I’m also very happy, everyone is so supportive and kind. I am really happy with my choice to let him go in this nursery.
23 May 2024
It has been a wonderful time, my son coming to Busy Bees. He has picked up on a lot since he came and his English is getting better and better. Just wish I could afford more time for him so that he picks up on the language before he goes to school.

Can't recommend the staff here enough. The whole experience they provide is outstanding. The staff are really engaging with parents and the children alike, after dropping my child off I know they are going to be well looked after and have a great day all thanks to the fantastic staff. Thank you!
