My son has just finished nursery and he absolutely loved his time here. Every morning he looked forward to going, and he'd even be sad when nursery was closed! The staff are so caring and nurturing, and I always feel at ease knowing he was in such safe hands. His confidence has grown, he's made wonderful friends, and he's had the happiest start to his early years. We'll truly miss Busy Bees Carlton Park as he moves on to reception, and I would highly recommend it to any parent looking for a warm and joyful environment for their child.

Busy Bees felt right the moment we stepped into the nursery for our tour. Spacious but warm and clean and organised but not sterile. My daughter spent over 3 years here and every member of staff I have encountered have been caring, affectionate and supportive. Her development both educationally and social/emotionally have been amazing to see and in no small part is this down to the staff and centre at Busy Bees. Thank you for everything. We will miss you. There is nowhere that could have been any better for my girl.

Our child has been attending Busy Bees for over two years, and we couldn't be happier. The staff are wonderful - especially the manager, who is incredibly supportive and approachable. The facilities are excellent, and in particular our child loves to play in the outdoor space.

My son started attending this nursery from 6 months old he is now nearly 1 and I couldn't be happier with the experience so far. From day one, the staff have been absolutely amazing - so friendly, caring, and attentive. They've made both of us feel so welcome and supported. My little boy is always so happy when he's there. It's clear he feels safe and loved, and he's already learning so much through play and interaction. It's wonderful to see how engaged and settled he is, even at such a young age. The communication from the staff is excellent. They're always happy to answer any questions I have and keep me updated, which gives me great peace of mind. It really feels like they go above and beyond.

Our daughter has been going to Busy Bees at Carlton Park for over a year now and we are absolutely pleased with how well she is looked after. The staff are all professional and caring. The transition to toddler class has been seamless thanks to the effort of the nursery staff. There is regular communication between the nursery and parents as well as a parent partnership group to raise any issues as well as discuss future developments of the nursery. The location is great for us and very accessible with plenty of parking! Overall, we are delighted with the nursery and feel lucky that our daughter is also enjoying her time there.

We chose this nursery three years ago after visiting a number of other local nurseries and despite it being a little more expensive, it was the obvious choice for us. The staff are all professional, friendly and caring and our son has enjoyed his time at the setting and we've enjoyed seeing him develop well, including through weekly tennis sessions the nursery arranges at the local sports centre. The nursery put on some really nice after-nursery sessions as well, including a preschool Christmas songs sessions for parents. All the children enjoyed participating and did fantastically and the large number of parents attending showed how much we all enjoyed it. Well done and thank you to all the staff on an ongoing basis. We'd really recommend this setting to prospective parents.

Our son has always enjoyed his time at this nursery. His speech and development are improving well and this is enhanced by his time spent there. We enjoyed the Mother's Day special and Christmas fete. The staff are always very friendly and approachable and management is very good, always friendly and acknowledge myself and my son every time we are there. I was impressed how management and staff took the time to explain the funding and answered any questions. We will be using this nursery again for our youngest son and would happily recommend to others.

My child has been going to this nursery for three years and we’ve had a really positive experience. The staff are hard-working and professional and he’s formed good relationships with his key workers. The facilities are clean and enriching and my son always comes home having enjoyed whatever activities he has been doing that day. He is happy and has grown in confidence throughout his time there. I would highly recommend this nursery to others.

My child always comes home talking about how much fun he had throughout the day. There's a variety of activities each day and a big garden to play in. My son has dietary requirements and they have always been able to accommodate his needs.

My child has been attending Busy Bees, Carlton Park since March 2021 and absolutely loves his time here. There is a variety of activities and extracurricular activities such as tennis and French and the environment and resources are lovely. The staff are so welcoming and friendly. I am so pleased that I chose this nursery to give him the best start.

My daughter has been attending this setting for 3.5 years and has always enjoyed her time there. All staff members are very friendly and happy to help with any queries/issues. She also loves the extra offsite lessons which are offered. Just a shame some trips have probably been missed purely because of Covid times. Would definitely recommend though and would use again in the future.

We love the Busy Bees at Carlton. Our boy is really happy there and we highly recommend it to family and friends. Our son has been attending Busy Bees at Carlton Park since he was 9 months old, he’s now nearly 4 years old and due to leave for school soon and both he and we will be sad to see him leave. The staff are really amazing and caring, this is demonstrated via feedback from our son and the level of engagement of the staff. Thank you all at Busy Bees, Carlton Park.

Busy Bees at Carlton Park have helped my child grow into the little man he is. They have helped him with his confidence, speaking skills, listening skills, and even potty training. He absolutely loves going to nursery and playing and learning with his friends. I love Busy Bees' values and cannot recommend this nursery enough. All the staff there are very friendly and caring and dedicated in educating children.

Amazing staff, professional and dedicated. Seen some lovely relationships develop between our child and key worker staff. Setting is well managed and engaging for children. There is always a really good range of planned activities for the children. Centre Manager and deputy manager are professional yet welcoming and approachable. We will be sad to leave!

My daughter has been at the nursery since she was 11 months old and is due to finish this summer to start school. Her nursery experience has been really positive, she has made lots of friends and learned valuable social skills which I feel has prepared her well for school. The nursery itself is always clean and is full of good-quality toys and books. The staff are great with the children and the child's key worker always forms a really good connection with the child. If anything I wish we could have more regular photos to see what they are up to throughout the day but I appreciate this may not be easy to do as they're busy looking after the children. I would always recommend this nursery to other people.

Both my boys attend Busy Bees and absolutely love it. They have both made friends and have great relationships with their care givers. I moved them from another nursery that was on the brink of being closed down and I was really worried that they may not settle in but there was absolutely no need as they are both thriving and love it!

The staff at this nursery typically go above and beyond to ensure that children are happy and that provide flexibility and support when required. One of the stand-out characteristics of the staff here is that they are very personable and caring which suggests a particular style is being utilised by the hiring manager when building the team. My only grumble would be that my child regularly leaves the building with the contents of his nose spread across his face. I've noticed it with other children and heard other parents commenting about it too. My suggestion would be a quick wipe of the children's faces as they are getting their coats on before leaving. Otherwise, perfect and provided we are still based in Leicester when we have a second/third child, we will definitely bring them to this nursery.

I cannot recommend this nursery enough. The staff are amazing, real superheroes without capes! They have done an amazing job keeping the children safe through Covid-19. My twenty one month old boy loves going here, he’s excited every morning to get ready and he reels off the names of all his friends and staff. They have helped massively with his development, teaching him how to eat with cutlery and refuses help. They offer a wide variety of different food which has helped broaden his taste. His speech and language astonishes me every day with what he is learning there, he understands and can tell you what he wants and what’s wrong. The facilities are superb, I looked at three nurseries and this was the best by far! I am looking forward to watching him develop further here as he gets older, as the rooms are very educational and the staff are so patient, kind, welcoming and very approachable! Thank you to all the staff there that are helping develop our little boy!

Busy Bees at Carlton Park nursery and staff have been absolutely outstanding with helping me with my daughter. This is my second child that I have used Busy Bees at Carlton Park as childcare for. They have helped identify and support me with my child’s speech, development and always kept me up to date with any developments. They have also given me the tools I need to support her at home. I have full trust in the staff with my daughter and they have been absolutely fantastic throughout the pandemic with communication and safety procedures in place. I have full admiration for each and every staff member as it’s has been a tough year for them all but they have remained professional and committed throughout.

I had a great experience with the staff of this nursery, I have a one year and ten months old boy who has spent all his time since he was born only with me, until now and the ladies from the nursery were very calm, gentle and warm with him. In two weeks they have made coming here a miracle, now he is going to the nursery without crying and he is very happy down there. I am very thankful to the manager, who was very patient with him.
