The staff at Busy Bees Rotherham are amazing!
They are always happy to help and are so attentive to my daughter.
She became unresponsive and required CPR while in their care and I will for ever be grateful for how they all responded.

Our little one started at 6months old and 2 years later is thriving. Its like having a 3rd parent!! All the staff are amazing and fully invested in all those little milestones. They support families and our local community with events throughout the year. Food is excellent with a keen eye on
nutrition and smells good too.. my little one definitely enjoys it. Constantly engaging in activities and we get several pictures or updates on the app per week. Which just makes my day!!
Truly couldn't have picked a better place and cannot recommend enough.
Thank you!

I am so happy with the care my daughter receives from Busy Bees. All of the staff know our names which sounds small but it really just cements how much everyone seems to care here. The food is brilliant, healthy and nutritious and I copy the snack and meal ideas to replicate at home. The nursery
itself is always clean and well equipped with activities for the day. They spend so much time outside when the weather allows which I love. All of the staff but especially the staff in my daughters room are so caring and know exactly what is going on and provides updates both on the app but also things they have observed during the day. I would recommend busy bees to anyone.

My son attended Busy Bees for 3 years. The staff are amazing in every way. Always happy to help and my son always came home happy. I would recommend Busy Bees to anyone, which I have done over the years. Iam sad my son is leaving but he is onto his next chapter. Can't thank them enough for these
last 3 years. Amazing!

There aren't enough stars for this nursery. All the staff have been extremely welcoming, accommodating and helpful and have been supportive of our journey. From the admin team to the nursery manager, nothing is ever too much trouble. When my child is at nursery, I am stress free knowing he is well
taken care of.

My daughter joined Busy Bees at 15 months and as she leaves for school (August), I am so grateful for the experience she has had there. I have to give so much credit to the nursery teachers as they are beyond amazing. They really do take the time to get to know all the children as individuals and
build such a great relationship with them.
The resources available at Busy Bees are like no other nursery I've seen. There is a huge outdoor space which is fantastic for encouraging seasonal outdoor play (rain or shine!) They have a huge range of equipment and resources and are always looking for new ways to get creative and make learning fun and enjoyable. They set up tuff tray activities for the kids and encourage hands-on learning. The rooms have such a variety of things to do which really does open up worlds of opportunity to little ones.
This is the best nursery, by far, and we will miss it and the teacher so much.

My daughter has attended Busy Bees since she was 10 months old, starting in the baby room and working her way up through each integrated stage. Her experience has been exceptional, and I have never had any concerns or problems. Busy Bees have given my daughter the best educational start in life, and
it absolutely shines from her. She is sociable, polite, educated, able to play well alone or in groups, enjoys a wide selection of healthy meals, and Busy Bees have helped to mould these positive attributes, alongside myself. They have been so determined and persistent with potty/toilet training. Throughout her time here, I have received daily updates on the app, which I have loved. All the staff are engaging, friendly, helpful, caring and genuinely interested in your child's well-being and education. Plenty of daily activities, indoors and out. Healthly varied menu! Staff also helped me with understanding the funding side of things. Could not recommend enough. We will be sad to leave.

Both of our children have attended Busy Bees Rotherham currently, our youngest attends the Bombo2 room.
All of the staff are fantastic and give the best care to our son, he always comes home happy and clean.
The toys, equipment and activities are great.
I love the app and how I receive updates
and photos!
Highly recommended!

Busy Bees is an amazing nursery. They have cared for both of my daughters from 9 months to pre-school and they have both thrived whilst being there. My youngest daughter has struggled with her speech and the staff at Busy Bees Rotherham have supported her throughout and she is doing fantastic. She
loves attending and I know she is safe and well looked after in their care. I cannot thank the staff enough for all of their support and kindness they have shown our family. I would highly recommend Busy Bees Rotherham to those looking for a nurturing environment for their children during those early years.

Our daughter absolutely loves going to Busy Bees, she has shown such developmental leaps whilst being there. This has reflected outside of nursery, she is confident, shares with others, loves books, is inquisitive and such a happy little girl. There are two members of staff who look after our little
girl and we couldn't have asked for a better team. Nothing is ever too much trouble and they care for her so much. Outstanding women! She is happy to be dropped off each morning and wants to go to the girls which, as a parent, is a weight off your shoulders when leaving them with someone.
The nursery manager is absolutely amazing and has helped myself and my partner with organising our childcare fees. The advice and support has been phenomenal.
I'm so glad we chose this nursery. I knew it was the right place from the moment I walked in and had the warmest welcome which continues every single morning with a hello from every single staff member we pass, it's a great atmosphere. Outstanding for a reason.

Quite simply a wonderful setting. Our daughter has been at Busy Bees Rotherham for 2 years and her development has been astounding. The staff are lovely, feedback is helpful and positive. The setting is clean, tidy, and well-decorated.

My youngest daughter has been at Busy Bees since she was 11 months old, and my eldest daughter spent nearly 3 years with them too. The team are fantastic.
The centre itself is modern, well looked after and always clean. It has a great range of age-appropriate toys and activities in each room, and
it always looks like the children do exciting activities when there. The staff are really good at answering questions giving updates and handovers. I'd particularly like to mention my daughter's last key worker who always provided excellent handovers and details of the activities my daughter did during the day. It was great to know she knew her so well and could provide me with details of her day. I also felt she really understood and got to know my daughter, and I always felt she was in safe and caring hands.
The whole team are wonderful, in all the rooms and the office staff and I couldn't be more pleased with the nursery provision. Thank you.

Both of my children attend Busy Bees in Rotherham and I could not ask for a better early years setting!
My 4-year-old is thriving and so ready for school and it’s all down to Busy Bees staff and the support they provide. My one-year-old also has packed days and has settled in amazingly. The staff
are so friendly, qualified and approachable. The food served is varied and tastier than what I serve according to the 4-year-old. I could not ask for more and I’ll be incredibly sad when they’re not part of our lives any more.

We are so impressed by the care our children receive at Busy Bees. All of the staff are brilliant - from finance team, to the catering staff and obviously the wonderful room team - our children love going to nursery and we are completely confident that they are safe and happy in their care. Thank
you all so much.

Both my children have attended Busy Bees Rotherham and they've had the best experience.
The staff are friendly and approachable and provide such a high level of care.
My child is in the preschool room, a lovely large room which has access to the garden. The toys are all of high quality and meet an
educational purpose. The staff provide different activities based on themes which my children both loved, there is something different every day.
The food is nutritious and varied so there is nothing to get bored of. I like that they promote independence in the preschool room with getting their utensils, drinks and sometimes they assist the chef in making their own sandwiches which my child enjoys.
I'm so happy that we chose Busy Bees Rotherham!

My daughter always comes out smiling after a fun day. The staff are very helpful and very approachable. I always love hearing about my daughters day and what activities she has been doing. I am very happy with the healthy food that is given each week.

My son is two and a half and attends Busy Bees in Rotheram full-time Monday to Friday. From the first phone call enquiry, I have only ever received one hundred per cent professionalism. The induction to the nursery, the staff, the facilities, I cannot compliment this nursery enough. I was a little
bit nervous for my son to be in a full-time nursery, however, I can say that since he started there in November 2020 he has loved it. He runs in the gate in the mornings happy and runs out when I collect him even happier. The app they use is so good and easy to use and I love that I can follow him all day with what he eats and when he naps. They do assessments every month and post pictures to show me what he has been doing. He comes home every week with items he has made, from pictures and crafts, which for his age is just fantastic that he has exposure to all of the creative activities. He loves to be outside, so for me, the outdoor facilities are superb and were top of my list when I chose a nursery and the staff are one hundred per cent. Five stars.

I am pleased with the level of care my daughter is experiencing at Busy Bees. She is happy and enjoying her time at the nursery. I always feel comfortable and safe leaving my daughter and staff are friendly and caring.
17 March 2021
We made a decision to put our child in nursery when he was quite young due to work commitments and we are so pleased we did as his development has progressed in leaps and bounds! All the staff are lovely and we are grateful to their hard work throughout the pandemic. Our baby loves nursery.
