Both my daughter (3.5yrs) and son (1.5 yrs) are at Busy Bees Kettering, Venture Park and I honestly only have positive words for the staff, facilities and food! Everyone has been amazing since day 1 and my children have formed such an amazing bond with all the staff at the nursery - they are truly
amazing. Everyone is passionate, caring and go above and beyond - definitely a 5-star nursery!

Both of our children go Busy Bees and since going we have noticed such a vast improvement in their development. Particularly their speech and social skills which for our children has been amazing.
The staff are fantastic and you can really see the way the children look up to them and the
relationships the children build with their key workers. I would not hesitate at recommending the Nursery to anyone looking for a setting to send their children to. Not only is it a great nursery but the way the funding is spread over the year is a massive help, especially when sending two children.

My son started at Busy Bees Nursery in September, and he has come on in leaps and bounds with his confidence since then! All of my concerns about his needs have always been listened to, and I genuinely feel heard and supported. The staff are wonderful, especially Abbie - she is so understanding and
always takes the time to discuss any worries I have about my son's learning and development. Arlee is so much happier now and has settled in so well. I couldn't be more grateful for the care and attention he receives. Thank you, Busy Bees!

I was initially let down by my previous nursery. With 1 week to go trying to find a full time place, Busy Bees was so quick and seamless with registering my daughter into the nursery within a couple of days. Since the start, I have had 0 issues with the nursery and cannot recommend enough. The staff
and management team are great 10/10! Super friendly and the communication is really superb. I feel so comfortable with them looking after my daughter and she is absolutely thriving with her development. She loves going to nursery every day. It's lovely to see how she gets on throughout the day through the app also. They are always doing new activities which is lovely to see!

Great overall experience. Staff friendly and helpful. Little one very settled and happy. Good range of activities and learning. Good communication and updates throughout the day through the app. Very pleased and would recommend to other parents.

Busy Bees Nursery at Venture Park, Kettering has been nothing short of amazing for both my boys. My two year old absolutely loves it there - he's learnt so much, grown in confidence, and comes home happy every single day. The team are so caring, patient and genuinely invested in the children's
development.
The food is always nutritious and varied, and Harvin eats so well at nursery (sometimes better than at home!). It gives me huge peace of mind knowing he's getting such balanced meals and trying new things.
They were also incredible with my eldest when he attended. The consistency, warmth and high level of care across the years shows how much pride they take in what they do.
I'm so grateful to all the staff for creating such a safe, fun and nurturing environment. If you're looking for a nursery that truly supports your child's learning, wellbeing and happiness, I couldn't recommend Busy Bees Venture Park enough. They really are outstanding!

We are so pleased with Busy Bees - the staff at the nursery are so friendly, welcoming and can't do enough for the children. They go above and beyond for their key children which is so lovely to see and so appreciated.
They do lovely activities with the children and my daughter's speech has come on
amazingly since starting nursery here.
Really good value for money also compared with other nurseries as food nappies etc is all provided and inclusive in the price.
Overall food choices given to children are good.
Would recommend this nursery to others!

Cannot recommend Busy Bees enough! All the staff treat every child as if they are their own. Both of my children have attended this nursery and done nothing but thrive from day 1.
Communication on what my kids are doing through the day is incredible. I get multiple pictures and updates a day, which
I'm so grateful for. I can't fault this nursery at all and will always highly recommend to anyone who asks.

Absolutely fantastic nursery! My daughter has been attending the nursery since she was 9 months old, she is now 2 years old and throughout her time here I remain very impressed with the level of care at this nursery. The staff are all incredibly passionate in providing a safe, welcoming and fun
learning space for children to develop at their own paces. The staff really do go above and beyond in making sure the children here are happy and well looked after. They have really supported in my daughter's development overall, and encourage her to try new activities and skills. My daughter originally had an allergy joining the nursery and all of the staff were very attentive in ensuring she was given allergy-safe foods. The menu is very nutritious and varied too, I'm often jealous looking at the choices! Highly recommend this nursery.

This nursery is just amazing - my daughter loves everything about it.
The staff are so friendly and helpful and really work hard to make sure the children have fun and learn. The food is great, according to my daughter, and the chefs help serve it and interact with the children, which she seems to
love. Overall, just a great place - can’t fault it.
31 October 2023
We highly recommend Busy Bees Venture Park. The team there are just incredible. My son went there from when he was a baby and now is thriving in school. We owe a lot to the team there. Now my daughter is attending too. They have been really good with her, (a few tears from her) but now she's settled
in amazingly. They encourage so many skills and she's having a blast. The chefs are great. The food is outstanding (better than my diet!). They really interact with the children. A great nursery, your children are in safe hands.

My son has been in this nursery for two months, and there has been a huge difference in him. They are thoughtful, caring and genuinely care about the well-being and support of the children. I am really grateful for them. Thank you.
31 October 2023
Both of my children attend this nursery, and I cannot fault it. The staff are very engaging, and I feel happy leaving my children there as I know they are going to be looked after very well.
They are very good at handling allergies and always ensure my child is given the correct food; they also go
out of their way to ensure he isn’t left out of any situation and has food options available to him.

My daughters have attended this setting since September 2023, they are 18 months old. They attended another Busy Bees setting in Northampton from 7 months old, but when we moved house, we had to move nurseries. All the staff at BB Venture Park have been very diligent and caring in understanding our
girls' needs and facilitating their settlement in their new nursery. Our girls love attending their new setting, and most days, walk in super-confident and happy to see their key workers. The menu is nutritious and varied and I get regular updates on what meals/foods they finish and like vs. their dislikes. The room(s) and out door space are well set out and engaging, there are always lots of books and wooden/Montessori type toys and bricks to play with, and evidence of lots of varied activities. The centre is immaculately clean, and communication with the senior leadership/management team is always good and timely, and access to the building is well regulated/strictly maintained.

Brilliant, caring and supportive nursery for son’s development and allergies. Friendly staff and feedback each day on the child’s activities.
A great app with frequent updates throughout the day.
5-star nursery all-round!
30 October 2023
My daughter is thriving, teachers are always smiling and go the extra mile. The nursery is clean and value for money. They send updates via an app and I can see what my daughter is doing , the food she has eaten and how well she has eaten. This is my second time using this nursery and can’t fault
them. Communication from staff is excellent.
25 October 2023
I cannot put into words how happy our son is going to this nursery. He loves it so much that he often doesn't want to have an afternoon nap as he wants to play.
He is encouraged to do different activities, and the staff always have different themes and things going on.
All of the staff are very
attentive and very kind.
If you come and visit this nursery, I wouldn't even consider looking anywhere else.
Honestly, we cannot be happier to have chosen this nursery.
24 October 2023
My son is currently in the preschool room but started in the baby room. I have been nothing but impressed the whole time he has been at Busy Bees! Every member of staff goes above and beyond to ensure the smooth running of the nursery - as well as all being extremely welcoming and reassuring. My son
has absolutely thrived during his time with Busy Bees and I couldn’t be happier.
23 October 2023
Excellent nursery! My daughter absolutely loves it at Busy Bees. Super management and very kind and nurturing staff. The whole team are excellent. I wouldn’t consider anywhere else now! The focus sessions are well-planned and cater for all the different needs of children.
