My son started at Busy Bees Thetford in February 2025, and as a new parents, I was nervous about daycare. The staff's accommodating, knowledgeable, and approachable, reassured me, answering my many questions. The settling-in sessions were crucial for an easy transition, unlike other places. The high-quality food options, affordable prices and excellent facility amenities immediately impressed our family. The staff regularly provides daily app notifications, creating a friendly environment that promotes my son's developmental growth. Overall, this supportive and caring environment has made us confident in our choice, ensuring our son receives quality care and nurturing every day.

All the staff are amazing and friendly! My little one is in the baby room and is always so happy to go in and play. The updates throughout the day are great and always look forward to her write up of what she's been up to. Always a worry leaving your child, but I feel so comfortable with leaving mine there and that she is well looked after and cared for. She always gets a hello and bye from whoever's in the office, and she loves to wave back. Thankyou for taking such great care

Busy Bees Thetford is a fantastic nursery. The staff are kind and supportive and my little girl thoroughly enjoys going. She has learnt so much since she started which is all thanks to the wonderful team there.

Our little one loves going to this nursery. All of the staff are really friendly and the facilities are great. The activities provided on a day to day basis are enriching and we've seen our little one grow immensely since starting. The food provided is so varied and interesting, the little ones are exposed to so many tastes.

My son has been attending Busy Bees for just over a month and he is truly loving it, getting so excited every time we get to the door. The staff are amazing and there's a great range of activities for them to do, including lots of outdoor play! As a first time mum I was nervous about leaving my little one, but I can already tell how comfortable and happy he is with the staff and his surroundings.

We are so pleased to have our daughter at Busy Bees! The staff is so friendly and attentive to our child’s social, emotional and educational needs. Our daughter has grown by leaps and bounds thanks to the staff at Busy Bees. We love using the app to see what she’s been up to during the day. Seeing our daughter take part in the fun activities that the staff plan every day is exciting.

My little girl has only just recently started her nursery experience, as I’ve returned back to work from maternity leave. She’s currently in the baby room and the ladies that look after her are so kind and compassionate. I love the updates I get from the nursery whilst I’m at work, even down to a wet nappy! One member of staff in particular and the other ladies take time at the end of the day on collection, to have a chat and tell me how my daughter's day has been. I’m able to ask questions openly and feel comfortable doing so. Nothing seems too much trouble for them and Busy Bees so far have been amazing!

My son absolutely loves going to Busy Bees Thetford. He comes home every day he is there with stories of his fun day. We get great updates on the app and are very happy with the staff and how they look after him. We would definitely recommend Busy Bees Thetford to other parents.
28 April 2022
Parents evening, we got to see both the play areas inside and out and also met the key workers that spend most of the day with our grandchild who explained all the different areas and the main values that are taught, which I have to say are wonderful. It makes sense why Busy Bees has the name, as I am sure the children and staff are very busy, most of the days they are there.

Our daughter settled in straight away and always has a wonderful day at nursery. We have been really impressed by the variety of activities she takes part in and the communication from staff is always really detailed. She goes with a smile every morning and we know she's in good hands.

Thetford nursery is excellent the staff are so friendly and helpful. Our daughter loves going and we have found her development has really improved since attending.
20 July 2021
Our daughter has been attending the nursery for around a year for 4 days a week. Overall we couldn’t be more pleased with how she has grown and flourished in their care. The key person has always been very good and really is brilliant, our daughter loves learning with her. Activities often relate to what children have done at home or with families, and generally, the children seem very engaged and good feedback is provided on how the day has gone. The only area we could suggest improvement in would be some kind of formal interaction with parents periodically. COVID19 is obviously an issue but we would have hoped Busy Bees might be able to adapt - That said COVID19 has been handled very well at the nursery.

What a wonderful little nursery! My son has been going there three days a week for 2 years and we - and he - couldn't be happier. Staff are caring, warm, friendly and extremely polite. It is very well-organised and communication with parents is excellent. The atmosphere is welcoming and positive and the children are gently challenged to embrace learning through play in the most ingenious ways. The nursery is always spotless, neat and clean and the outdoor facilities are definitely above standard. There is a lovely focus on being outdoors and my son has greatly appreciated this aspect of his day. In short, a fantastic, well-managed and extremely trustworthy nursery which I can only highly recommend.

Both my children have used this nursery from the baby room to preschool. We cannot fault it - it is excellent. Great staff and management, they take a good level of responsibility and only contact parents to collect the child if absolutely necessary. The staff are very sensible and reliable. Both my son and daughter loved/love the nursery. Thank you.

Both my girls who are 3 years and 9 months have been attending this nursery since I returned to work. They have only been attending so far for two weeks and wow what a change in both of them. My eldest has calmed down so much and improved her speech and manners so much. With her potty training the staff were so patient and understanding and now she is dry all day. They involve the kids in so many activities from matching photos to water play to role play to painting and even baking. My eldest is constantly on the go and loves her time at nursery. My baby, they constantly keep her stimulated from the play area to invoking her senses. The staff have a fantastic set of patience for both kids. I am so comfortable leaving my kids in their care all day as they are doing an amazing job much to my satisfaction even more so. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The nursery encourages independence and I'm so pleased to see such an improvement in both my girls, can only imagine what a few months will do.

My daughter recently broke her leg. Staff have been excellent and adapted activities so she can still take part in everything.

We have been impressed with the nursey right from the start. Our Daughter is so relaxed and happy. Each morning we can confidently leave her knowing she will have an amazing day. The food is delicious and we always hear she has eaten all and more. They lay on a great range of activities and always tell us what she's been into each day. She has just progressed into the next room and the move was so well planned for, with short preparation visits that she has transitioned without any concerns. All the staff know each child really well and, as parents, we always feel welcomed and support.
