We've had such a lovely experience with Busy Bees Ashbourne. The team are incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely care about the children. From day one they made us feel at ease, and it's clear how much effort they put into creating a warm and nurturing environment.
Our daughter has settled
in so well, which means everything to us as parents. She's happy, comfortable, and always comes home smiling. It's such a relief knowing she's in such kind and capable hands.
Thank you to all the staff for making this such a positive experience for our family.

My daughter loves nursery so much. She always talks about all her friends and what they did today and what her favourite thing was. Emma is a star, and so are the rest of the girls. We have loved our busy bees experience! We will be so sad when we go to big school!

Both of my little ones absolutely love it at nursery. They are so well looked after by the staff. I'm kept up to date about what they've been doing and eating which is very reassuring. It is nice to know that they are in good hands!

My Daughter started attending BusyBees Nursery in November for 1 day a week then moved up to two days a week in January. She absolutely LOVES coming to Nursery, Walking in the door every staff member knows you and your child it is so special and you feel so welcome. The staff are amazing and their
attention to detail goes beyond measures. The updates via the app are fabulous - we love receiving these and seeing her development - the time the staff put into writing these is greatly appreciated and they write such lovely feedback, they really take the time to get to know each child. If I've picked my daughter up from her designated room or the garden she has always been so happy and well looked after. The food selection is amazing and again we love seeing what she has eaten on the app it's great.
I have always recommended this Nursery to anyone who asks me where my daughter goes. So glad we decided to put her into BusyBees.

The staff are brilliant-supportive, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. Communication is excellent, and I really appreciate the regular updates on the app; it's so nice to see the progress my child is making.
The meals are varied and well thought out-I only wish I could get my child to eat the
same way at home! Everyone is friendly, and there's such a warm, welcoming atmosphere. We couldn't be happier.

Have always found the staff helpful and engaging. Both my sons have enjoyed their time there over the past 7 years.
My youngest always enjoys his time and seems to have lots of fun.
He is well cared for and has developed significantly over the past 2 years.

My son loves the team at busy bees. Everyone is so helpful, welcoming and caring from the point you arrive at the door, send an email enquiry, add a day or collect your child. A really stable core team of staff, which means the children get the time with staff to really build relationship over a
long period of time that supports their development and learning. The coms is good and the food is excellent according to my son. Hannah food gets 5 stars.

Busy Bees Childcare have gone above and beyond for my child since the day she started!
She is now in pre-school and is absolutely thriving in her learning. She loves her nursery days and is so well looked after by the girls in the nursery, I couldn't have picked better people to take charge of her
learning and well being while I'm working.
The updates throughout the day are amazing and make me feel so reassured that she's looked after and is having a good day!
19 March 2026
Always a warm and welcoming environment and nothing is to much from all staff. My child's progress has come on leaps and bounds and is learning new things every day! I feel the help my child is receiving for getting them ready for school is excellent and I am feel confident with then going to
school.

My son has been attending Busy Bees Ashbourne since January 2026. He loves coming for his sessions and the staff can't do enough for him. They have created great bonds and I always feel he is safe and well looked after.

We have been really pleased with Busy Bees Ashbourne, our nearly 4 year old absolutely loves going, is so happy and has made so much progress since being there. Our 16 month old twins are equally happy there and have made really close bonds with the staff. The staff are wonderful and the best thing
about the nursery, so caring, kind and will do absolutely anything to help.

My little boy has been going to Busy Bees Ashbourne for just over 6 months and we've had a fantastic experience. The staff are all lovely and attentive, they have really got to know our boy and he's very well cared for. They spend lots of time outside and doing activities. The food is also great,
with loads of variety! We have never had any issues and our little one seems very content and happy there.

Friendly staff, great food, always willing to answer questions. Great activities for the kids
Great size rooms with good selection of toys
Both my children always seem happy to be there and enjoy going
I feel nursery is expensive, the funded hours help but it expensive for families however I
think Busy Bees prices are about standard for the area
The hours offered are great and cover what we need as a family
Management are very friendly

Our son has been attending Busy Bees Ashbourne since he was 11 months old. He's now 17 months and is really thriving there. The staff are always so positive, friendly and kind, and it really shows in the care and support he receives. He's settled really well and is learning and exploring new things
every day. Much more than I'd be able to do with him at home. We feel really happy that he's safe and content while at nursery and love seeing the updates on the app. We couldn't recommend the team and setup at Busy Bees Ashbourne highly enough.

A great nursery that my daughter absolutely loves attending. It’s been fantastic to see how much she’s learnt and developed over the 2.5 years she has been there. The management and all the staff are amazing and it’s a really friendly and welcoming environment for the children and parents/carers
alike. Good range and balance of activities to ensure the children both have lots of fun and learn new skills. It’s great to have somewhere that we know our daughter is happy, safe, well fed and well cared for and we couldn’t be happier with our choice of nursery.

24 July 2023
We moved to the area after living in the US and my daughter was welcomed with open arms. Busy Bees has been fundamental in her settling in here and she speaks so fondly of all the staff and team. She is learning, more and more social, experimenting with new foods and comes home happy and full of
lovely stories from the day.
We can’t thank Busy Bees enough for their involvement in helping us make here our new home.

I cannot rate Busy Bees, Ashbourne Day Nursery highly enough. All the staff are kind, friendly and very caring. I love the app, it's great to know what they are doing each day and getting photos. The variety of food is excellent and really gets the kids trying new things. The staff are very
thoughtful when it comes to special dates, making cards and other crafts. I would recommend Busy Bees to any of my friends and family.
18 July 2023
Staff are very caring and will pass any update if any concerns or upset at drop off, which is appreciated. My child really enjoys nursery and is learning lots and developing new words and skills as a result of time there.
