My son has been going to busy bees now for the last three years and has experienced all the different rooms in busy bees from babies through to preschool. Busy bees, in my opinion is an excellent nursery and my son loves going there. I find the staff to be kind and approachable and we have worked together to ensure my son has the best experience whilst in nursery and reaches his potential. Would highly recommend

Our daughter has been at Busy Bees since she was one right through until starting school. We have been so impressed with the staff, setting and updates we've received throughout her time there. The staff all genuinely care about each and every child, it really feels like they have become an extra part of our family. The facilities and experiences she's had there have been brilliant. The food is always varied and healthy, our daughter has tried lots of new things there and enjoys eating with her peers. We would fully recommend Busy Bees and particularly the teacher and two members of staff, in particular, who have blown us away with their care and attention to our daughter. They have prepared her for school and supported us as a family throughout her time there. Thank you all.

We've been delighted with our experience of sending out little boy to Busy Bees. He's been going from 11 months old to now aged 4 years getting ready for school. We can't fault the staff in any of the rooms, everyone is so dedicated and lovely with the children. He's definitely school ready thanks to Busy Bees. Thanks again!

Since my son started at the nursery in April 2025, we've honestly had such a great experience. I really don't have a single bad thing to say. The staff are amazing, so friendly, caring and have made me feel at ease since the moment he started. The nursery is always clean and well set up, and I feel like my son is genuinely cared for every day. I also love that it has a bit of a school feel with learning activities as well as play. It's a great balance and I can see how much he's learning and growing. Can't recommend this place enough

Nursery has been brilliant for my granddaughter. After the initial separation, on the first couple of sessions when she cried, she is now excited and happy to go in to nursery. Lots of interesting activities and the staff are lovely and helpful. Attending the nursery has helped with her social skills and her development. Really happy.

Fantastic nursery - staff are very friendly and interact with the children to help their needs. My kids always have a great time when they're at nursery. They've really started to gain their own personalities since starting at nursery. Couldn't recommend them enough.

Busy Bees have been amazing for both my children. The care my child currently receives is great, and I never have any concerns. The staff know my daughter like she's their own child and communicate well with me about her day, every day. The activities are always set out well for the children and change regularly, she receives a varied diet, enjoys playing outside and the nursery is extremely clean! The communication through the app daily is also great and offers reassurance throughout the day while I'm at work. The staff are like an extended family - they are so amazing with her and me! They are friendly and helpful, and nothing is too much trouble.

From day one (September 2023) the management and team in my son's room have been nothing short of incredible. The relationships that have been built between my son and the members of staff is amazing to watch. Drop-offs are full of smiles and pick-ups come with a full debrief of his day (on top of the information through the app, which is great!) My son's words, independence, and boldness have come on leaps and bounds since starting. Communication with my wife and I, when he has been unwell/high temperature, has kept us in the loop, with an update on how he has been doing. In the initial month when we first started we called a couple of times to see how he was getting on (parental anxiety!), the team were great and were happy to take a call. The team are amazing and deserve full praise for all that they do!

Friendly and approachable staff. Always fun and playful activities for the children. Communication is very clear. Encouraging children to develop at every stage. Healthy and varied meals. Highly recommend.

My Daughter has been attending Busy Bees Long Eaton since June 2022. I am so pleased I chose Busy Bees for my daughter, they have helped in every way possible in my daughters progression, i.e encouraging her to walk, talk and eat independently. All of the staff are very friendly. And update me on the app throughout the day on how she has eaten, nappies and slept, also verbally on pick up on how her day has been.
08 March 2023
Great staff who are very friendly. The activities for the children seem very engaging and fun. Our son has been attending the nursery for 1.5 years, and his development is incredible. I love the updates throughout the day via the app. The menu is diverse, interesting and nutritious and exposes the children to foods they wouldn’t usually eat. Would recommend the nursery to anybody!

My little boy started Busy Bees Long Eaton in October 2019 and has loved every minute. He settled straight away, drop off was so easy with the staff, he loved them. The pandemic stopped him from going in for a few months and on his return, he was clingy as expected, but after a few weeks of familiar faces, the drop off wasn't an issue for him. His speech was delayed and they set aside time for one to one's to work on his speech. He is now a little chatterbox and doesn't stop talking, ever! He is now in preschool having the time of his life. I could not recommend Busy Bees Long Eaton enough! The nursery is clean, has plenty of toys and has the most wonderful staff. I will be sad when his time at Busy Bees Long Eaton comes to an end. Forever your biggest fan.

Amazing nursery which I highly recommend. The staff are lovely and really care for the children. They do lots of great activities and my daughter comes home happy and excited to tell me about her day. She's been there from the baby room through to preschool.

My child has been attending Busy Bees Long Eaton since he was 11 months old and he is shortly due to leave to start school. I cannot recommend the nursery highly enough! They are caring, supportive, listen to concerns and provide excellent feedback on my child’s progress and development. They take a keen interest in activities we do as a family outside of the nursery and integrate them into learning in the nursery, to build relationships and develop learning further. The activities set are creative, fun, and engaging. The staff really care and take time with you. My child loves attending the nursery and has grown in confidence due to their support. The food menu is of a high standard and I trust the nursery, which is paramount.

Our son loves going to Busy Bees Long Eaton. He runs into nursery in the morning without any hesitations and always comes out smiling. The staff are really helpful with any queries that we have and are always friendly. They plan lots of exciting activities for our son to complete and try to plan the activities around his interests. They set tailored targets for him and I feel like he is really cared for when he is in their care. There is a fantastic menu with lots of variety and I feel content knowing that he is eating well at nursery.

Very impressed with this nursery. Both of my boys went there and my youngest is still there. They communicate very effectively and listen to your concerns. I would recommend this nursery to any parent. They know me by name and are always smiling. I feel like my child is happy and safe.

As soon as we visited Busy Bees during Enrolment Week, we knew this was the nursery for us. Every single member of staff was warm, friendly, welcoming and couldn't do enough for our daughter during her time there. We were sad to leave the nursery due to relocation but in the time that our daughter was there, her confidence grew immensely, she built some lovely relationships with staff and made some great friends. There were so many activities throughout the day and lovely outdoor areas for the children to explore. We would whole-heartedly recommend this nursery.

All the staff are very friendly and welcoming they have really helped me feel at ease sending my son to nursery. My son enjoys all the activities and always has so much fun. He loves playing in the big garden area and learning new things every day. His confidence has come on so much.
30 August 2019
Having researched all the nurseries in the area, we chose Busy Bees based on how welcoming the staff were on our visit and the layout of the nursery. The staff are friendly and hard-working. The activities they do are great. They offer a personal touch that I've not seen at other nurseries. Simple things like providing the children with a raincoat, Busy Bees rucksack and Busy Bees teddy, all add to the memories for our daughter. You are kept informed with the activities for the month and they arrange day trips and theatre visits for the children. Our daughter started nursery a shy timid girl and she left nursery extremely confident with some lovely friends including the staff which she speaks about on a day to day basis. The graduation they planned was fantastic even on a Saturday so parents could attend. They offer a personal touch and I would recommend this nursery to anyone. We are sad it is our last day and will miss the staff and the children.

My son has the best time at nursery! Leaving your child to go to work is difficult but the staff at Busy Bees make it so much easier. The staff are all lovely, lots of different activities for the children, wonderful outdoor area for each room and they always seem to get the children out for fresh air when they can. The food is healthy, home cooked food and the staff have worked so well in getting my son to eat a variety of food.
