Toby absolutely loves his time at nursery. His key workers have been amazing from day one and have made him feel so welcome. We're so grateful for the care, kindness, and support they show him when there.

I can honestly say that I couldn't be happier with this nursery and the way these guys have helped support the growth and development of my little boy.
As a very nervous first time parent, these girls have honestly tackled all of my worries and questions with so much understanding and kindness.
Any concerns I've had about my son's development or settling in, they have talked me through it and calmed my nerves with such patience.
All the girls have been so amazing but Chloe and SJ have been absolute stars for my little one and he adores them both.
We'd highly recommend this nursery to any parents hoping for a great support network for their little ones.

We are really happy with the high quality care that our child gets at nursery. The staff are all friendly, attentive and take time to debrief at the end of each day. We would highly recommend Busy Bees at Pannal Ash!

We have been really happy with the experience at Busy bees. Our daughter is currently in Buzz 1 and she loves it. She's made lots of friends and really enjoys all the different activities that the nursery provides. She has developed so much since being at the nursery, physically and mentally. She's
also become so confident, with activities such as sing and sign and rugby tots. This has helped with her confidence outside of nursery too. The staff are all amazing and caring, in particular SJ and Chloe in Buzz 1 who our daughter loves to see. Our experience at busy bees has been great and I would definitely recommend it to others.

We have been delighted with the staff in Bombos since our son started in February this year. Everyone is very friendly, helpful and attentive. He settled into the room in no time and is genuinely excited when we arrive at nursery and buzz in, this is down to the staff in room who have made him feel
at home. They are all caring and help our son to develop physically and mentally.
We are very happy with our sons key worker. Her relationship with our son is so lovely and comforting, especially when he is in nursery 5 days a week. We also really appreciate how helpful and informative she is, and what a keen interest she has in not only making sure our son is happy at nursery but also with his development, which is invaluable for two full time working parents.
Our son loves all the creative (painting, drawing, messy play) activities that the staff put on and the sing and sign classes.

My son has recently started in Busy Bees and is absolutely thriving
I love that I can drop him off and go to work knowing he's in the most caring and safe environment.
They have great knowledge and procedures around allergies and make sure to cater to all my son's nutritional needs
The staff go
above and beyond to follow requests and give advice to support you as a family both in the setting and at home.
There is always a detailed handover and a very happy boy at the end of the day!!
We couldn't recommend them more.

We've had nothing but a positive experience at Busy Bees since our daughter started this year. All staff in the bumbles room are so friendly, helpful and caring. The management team are very helpful and responsive. Our daughter settled so quickly when she joined, and she always talks of the staff so
highly. The children carry out various activities throughout the day, and our daughter loves all the outside activities they do (especially rugby tots) and learning new songs. The staff also provide helpful and thorough feedback each day. We are so happy with Busy Bees and highly recommend it.

My daughter joined from 12 months and has loved her time here! Amazing staff and managers. So attentive and supportive of all the children and their individual needs. They work so hard to have a great bond with the children. Busy Bees Harrogate Pannal Ash is such a happy and supportive place. We
feel very lucky and grateful to have sent our daughter and soon to be son here.
09 August 2024
Thank you to all the staff that have helped look after my boy over the last three years and more importantly, for the level of care that has been shown.
He is looking forward to school and l can honestly say, he has never complained about going to Busy Bees!
Take care to all the staff and l am
sure we will bump into each other around.

Both of my daughters have been so happy here over the years!
The staff are incredible with all the children and make them feel so at ease and happy.
The menu and choice of food is excellent which helps the children try new/different food (and they always seem to enjoy it!)
We will miss everyone
at Busy Bees!

Really great staff and I’m happy that my children are safe and happy when at nursery, would recommend it! Scored lower on some elements as we had to have service at a different location this week and saw it was better in terms of size and amenities (underfloor heating!), but do understand the
restrictions of the current location mean it wouldn’t be the same.
18 January 2024
Absolutely love this nursery! The whole crew really look after your little one. They all have a wonderful nickname for her as she is the youngest there and she loves everyone. Always excited and has a smile on her face.

We loved that the nursery allowed parents to be part of the Halloween activities for a couple of hours with the children. The nursery put on lots of age-appropriate activities and created a fun space for everyone to enjoy.
The staff at Busy Bees Pannal Ash Nursery always go above and beyond and our
children are very happy there!

My daughter has only recently started in the preschool but she loves it. I’ve found all the staff and the managers to be helpful, welcoming and really lovely. There is a good mix of activities for the kids and the staff in her room are really kind and supportive. I’ve been really impressed with Busy
Bees and I would highly recommend it.

The staff at Busy Bees Pannal Ash have been exceptional in welcoming my child from another nursery. They have been attentive to my child’s needs when going through the transition and made my child feel happy and excited to come to nursery. The staff are very friendly and engaging and want to know
about your child so they can help with development and growth in the best way they can. I like that they facilitate open and imaginative play, there is lots of outdoor time, theme weeks, and arts activities to help stimulate a child’s creativity.
12 January 2023
We now have two children at Busy Bees Pannal Ash. One has just joined Bombos and the welcome and settling in has been seamless. It's a super friendly and personal nursery with all staff going out of their way to get to know the children and parents. Our little boy has so much fun with all the
activities set up by the staff and always comes home happy. Our daughter has been at Busy Bees nearly 3 years now and it will be real a wrench to leave!

Our little boy has recently joined Bombos at Busy Bees and I'm so pleased with the level of care and support he's received, to make sure he really settles into nursery. He's building a great relationship with his key worker, she has shown so much care and attention (and patience!) with him whilst he
settles in, as have all the staff in the Bombos room. His room leader has bent over backwards to make sure the nursery offer different alternatives to some of the food items that he's struggling with whilst settling in. My husband and I couldn't be happier with the start he's had at Busy Bees so far and this is down to all the lovely, friendly and caring Bombos staff. Massive thanks to the room leader and all her team!

Both my boys go here. One has done for three years now and I find the nursery to be very approachable and friendly and I know that my little ones love attending their sessions here. I would highly recommend this nursery.
10 April 2022
This is my second child to attend this setting and we are still very pleased with the level of care. Covid has made a huge difference, which is a shame. I can see through the windows a lack of pictures and items on the walls, which I don't understand! Please make the rooms more colourful! Why are
they so grey! Colour, please!
