My son has been at busy bees for more than 2 years. He loves going in and the staff are always so attentive. There are always different activities and themes/ focus areas. When he had a mild delay in speech the key worker worked with him to encourage his speech. There is virtually no staff turnover so all the staff even from other rooms know my son which is comforting. The management are very active and approachable. I would highly recommend!

Our child has been at Busy Bees Letchworth since January 2023 and I cannot fault it. Going back to work earlier than expected, the Centre Director made a huge effort to accommodate us. Our child's key workers in every room have been kind and loving to them, and personable and communicative with us. We've watched not only our child, but other children in the setting grow in confidence and social skills. They all wave and say hello to the parents and are kind to each other. Any difficult phases have been worked through with the nursery, with the team offering solutions and support. Care is given to not only to our child but the whole family. Staff take the time to get to know parents and siblings as well in order to offer a fully rounded support system to each child. Finally, the development of young staff is incredible. Young people often struggle with shyness and communication, and we have loved watching the youngest staff be developed into confident, knowledgeable professionals.

I have 2 children at Busy Bees Letchworth. My son has attended since Jan 2023 and is now in the toddler room and my daughter started in the baby room in Mar 2025. This is a large and busy nursery which may not suit all children, however, mine have very different personalities and both love coming to the nursery. Staff are attentive, caring and are knowledgeable about my child's day at pick up. At drop off there are often exciting activities set up ready for the children to get stuck in and there is lots of outdoor space that the children make use of at every opportunity. Despite only attending the setting two days a week the staff always ensure they don't miss out on seasonal activities such as making mothers day cards or visiting the busy bees 'pumpkin patch'. My son had a mild speech delay and the nursery proactively put a 1:1 activity plan in place to support his development at nursery. All of the staff, including the office staff and catering are always friendly and welcoming.

My little boy started at Busy Bees, Letchworth in January this year and we are absolutely thrilled with the nursery and all the wonderful staff. They keep us updated all day with the activities and he often comes home with lots of art and craft work. The staff are incredible. The centre director and senior early years educator are just wonderful and so welcoming and a particular shout out to the ladies in his class. I know they really care about my son and they celebrate all his milestones with us. I cannot recommend this nursery enough! Just a wonderful and truly caring nursery.

Busy Bees in Letchworth is a great nursery. My oldest son attended it all the way from a baby until school and now my youngest is going to the nursery as well. The staff really care for the children and I love hearing the personal stories at pick-up time to what they have been up to. The activities are very creative and the children learn while playing. I love that every room is connected to the outside and that the children can spend a lot of time there. The manager is very approachable and usually available. The opening hours and close location to the station are very convenient. I would really recommend this nursery, but really the staff are who make this such a lovely, caring place.

Our son has attended Busy Bees in Letchworth since he was 9 months old and has recently turned 4. He is extremely happy there. The centre director and the team are all very lovely and friendly. Our son has always got on well with each of his care workers throughout the years. Now in preschool there, they have prepared him well for school. He will be sad to leave when he graduates this summer. Our youngest son will start there in October this year.

All staff are friendly, approachable and trustworthy. A genuine effort is made by management to meet individual needs. The standards of care and learning through play are excellent. The nursery is always clean and the toys/resources are in good condition. Great variety of activities and crafts. Food options are good, with an excellent awareness/understanding of allergies in children.

Both of my children attend Busy Bees and absolutely love it. They have made great connections with their key workers and other staff members. The staff in the rooms know the children really well and plan a range of fantastic activities every day. The meals are nutritious and enjoyed by both of my children. As well as really enjoying his time there, my son has made great progress with his literacy and numeracy. We are always greeted warmly by senior staff as well as the room staff. Staff at all levels are helpful. I would highly recommend this nursery and I’m so pleased my children are there.

We couldn't be happier with this nursery for our son. Our daughter starts there later this year also. The management is fantastic and all staff we've come across are so kind, caring and interested in the children and their wellbeing and happiness. My son loves going to nursery here and has built lovely bonds with both key workers he's had to date. He learns a lot at nursery and happily tells us at home about his days there. I can't say enough positive things really. Our experience of this nursery has been wonderful.

Both our children attend the Letchworth Busy Bees Nursery and love it there. The staff are friendly and genuinely care about the children. The management staff is involved and very approachable. Both my children are happy to go to nursery in the mornings. They have both built strong, meaningful relationships with their key workers as well as with the other staff members they see regularly. My eldest always comes home singing a new song, telling me about some facts he has learnt on the day, or what he played, with his friends. My youngest is taking part in a wide range of activities that I wouldn't be able to provide at home and discovers new interests. Finally, the nursery staff and management team have always listened to us and tried to accommodate our needs when possible. We would thoroughly recommend this nursery.

All of the staff at Busy Bees at Letchworth genuinely care about our little boy. He enjoys going in for his three days and always leaves happy and chatting about his day on the way home. They take time to get to know your child, really care about what they achieve and inform you of any concerns they have had during the day. Highly recommend the nursery and both our children have loved their time here.

My daughter has been going to this nursery for over a year now and she loves it. She has thrived at the nursery from her social skills to her varied diet and most recently potty training. All the staff are incredibly friendly with the children and parents. I never have a concern taking my daughter into nursery. I have recently had another baby and the support from the manager has been amazing; so helpful and supportive, which in the early days is so important. A big thank you from me to all the staff.

Everyone has been very helpful and our daughter is very happy at nursery. The range of food looks great and care is taken to ensure that a range of activities are on offer every day. Everyone has worked hard to form a bond with our daughter and she is smiley, eating well, napping well and seems very settled. We feel reassured that she is receiving not only fantastic care but that she is really enjoying her days at nursery.
