The busy bee staff are always so lovely from the moment you walk in and get the friendly greeting from the person working reception at the time.
Every time we collect our child they are more than happy to recount highlights from the day and answer any questions or concerns. Very helpful for first
time parents.
As well the drop off and pick up interactions; the app will also be updated throughout the day with activities, pictures and even when they eat and get nappies changed. All of which keeps parents involved.
Very happy we get to let our little one go to busy bees and he always looks forward to busy bee days ^_^

We've had both our Children at Busy Bees Nursery from age 9 months (one has gone through all the rooms amd is now at school) and they have both had the best experience. The staff are all really friendly and supportive and our children have always been really happy here!

Absolutely brilliant nursery always immaculate and colourful. The nursery is a very welcoming place.
Staff are always dressed in uniform and approachable very kind and willing to chat. I love coming in on the morning with my little girl and always being greeted with happiness and smiles.
One of
my favourite things about the nursery is the update via the app. Containing photos, meals, activities and more. I really love to see what she is doing when she's around others. I was always sceptical when first applying for nurseries. I can safely say I was very uneasy about the whole situation to start but busy bees has made this so much more easier for me and my child. I honestly enjoy taking her to nursery because I know she is in a safe, loving, caring environment! My child really enjoys her time there.

Can not recommend this nursery enough!
We have one child already there and another going to be attending soon. They have made everything so easy for us and our little ones as they both need additional care from time to time.
Suzanne and the team in all the rooms are fantastic and always put the
care of the children first, they all even know every child by name. It made my child feel right at home and confident enough to go off on their own despite having difficulties adjusting to change.
Best nursery by far!

Very caring and supportive of my child. I always get a good handover and she comes out very happy, photos are always brilliant and any support I've needed from home to nursery and questions to help are always answered to the best they can!

My little one absolutely loves nursery and he knows all the staff including the cleaners! Everytime we enter he says hi to Suzanne and everyone else says hello.
We only manage to start him from 9 months so we didnt get to see the baby room but the 2 rooms hes in are absolutely amazing! Being at
Busy bees his confidence has soared and all the staff are lovely and understanding!
I keep telling all my friends and family about getting their children here even parents I seen in work looking for a nursery. My partner when we went to view didnt even think twice and told me this was the place for our son and we love seeing all the updates and recieve so much help from everyone!
There is such diverse and healthy balanced meals ever single day as well!

My little boy started here in January 2026 and it has been the best decision made! He has settled in so well and everyone is so lovely and accommodating.
I love how they have an app that keeps you updated especially for us mums who are nervous for our children going into nursery. I couldn't of
asked for a better nursery for my little one

My daughter has recently started attending Busy Bees Darlington two days a week. I have liked this nursery from the beginning. It has a large, bright space with plenty of natural light in the rooms. The staff are kind, caring, and very supportive, and I feel happy and confident leaving my child
there. I feel that my daughter is gradually settling in, feeling happy, and developing a positive feeling about being there. I am really looking forward to seeing all the things she will learn. Thank you to the team for all their care and support.

My daughter has been attending Busy Bees Darlington since she was only 10 months old. I found it extremely difficult returning to work and leaving her but I felt so much more at ease after getting to know the staff at the nursery and just how well she is cared for.
The nursery is very accommodating
to our needs, every room she has progressed through I have really seen such a difference in her development. She is growing into this amazing, clever, funny young girl who is thriving in her nursery setting. She gets on with all the members of staff and always enjoys her time there.
Picking a nursery for me at the beginning was really overwhelming but after our initial visit I just knew this was the setting I wanted my daughter to be at. Its clean, safe, structured routines really put me at ease.

My granddaughter is so happy at Busy Bees. She's only 15 months old, but has developed really well. She's been given many educational opportunities, things we may not have had time to do at home.
The staff are all professional and very friendly. They care about each child. Well worth the money.
Thank you, Busy Bees.

Our daughter has been at Busy Bees for 2.5 years and she absolutely loves it. All the staff are friendly and knowledgeable and the manager runs an excellent nursery, leads from the front and we have always found her to be very caring and involved with the children. Wonderful nursery which we will be
very sad to say goodbye to, when our daughter starts school in September.

My daughter has attended here from being a baby. They are a fab team, the food is fab too. My daughter also has T1 diabetes and they look after her medical needs amazingly. I would highly recommend.

This nursery has been a second home to both of my boys. I have been leaving them here for six years in total now and do not have one fault. The Staff are exceptional and go above and beyond on each occasion to meet the boys needs and interests. Very well organised and merry. He currently loves his
routine with Busy Bees, it's all he talks about! I'll be sad when it comes to leaving in September.

I cannot thank the entire team enough for all the care they give my little girl. Having her start nursery during the pandemic was hard, but within a matter of weeks, any worry had gone. With regular updates, observations and photos, it is clear to see how happy she is there. The team are a big part
of my little one's life and I couldn't wish for any better people for her. Thank you for being so amazing and caring as much as you do.
25 February 2022
I've had my daughter in this nursery now for nearly one year and I am happy with everything, from the food menu, the communication, the child updates and photos, the staff and mostly the progress my daughter is making. I love the way my daughter runs into nursery every time no matter which staff
come to greet us.
15 February 2022
My second daughter is currently attending and the standards are still just as high as they were when my eldest attended from 2016 to 2018. Always very welcoming when dropping off or picking up. Great communication. Really pleased that I picked Busy Bees again.
15 February 2022
My daughter has a brilliant time at this nursery she is always smiling when collected. I love the updates on her day on the app.
