December 6, 2016 at 12:00 amMy child has attended this nursery for 2 and a half years and has been cared for by all the staff in the nursery at some point. I have found the staff to be professional and friendly. My child has built really good bonds with them and looks forward to her sessions.

January 16, 2018 at 12:00 amMy child has been with this nursery since he was 6 months old, going from a morning a week through to full time. The staff are approachable and professional and helped me as a new mum. I love that my child is excited to go into the nursery and loves his key worker. I am kept up to date throughout the day as to what he has been doing, what he’s been eating and when he’s been sleeping. With an ever-changing work schedule, the manager has been very accommodating with me changing booking patterns.

January 30, 2018 at 12:00 amBoth our boys have attended Busy Bees and have been very happy there. The needs of different aged children are well catered for and they are the only nursery that I know of the go the extra mile to get them ready for school from the Spring before they start. Staff are more than approachable with their open door policy to management, flexible and communication is good and on the rare occasion that I have questioned something, it has been resolved quickly. In my opinion, the management team have gone the extra mile for us, supporting my youngest externally with speech therapy as well as ensuring they work with him on improving his speech on a day to day basis. On a practical level, Busy Bees provides longer cover than any other nursery in the area and whilst I don’t often use them fully, its very comforting to know they are there. I am also confident that my children are completely safe whether in the building or playing in one of the free flow gardens. Thanks to managemetn and team.

March 21, 2018 at 12:00 amI have used Busy Bees at Market Harborough for nearly 3 years now for both of my children, and have been very happy with it. My children have always been well cared for and happy – sometimes its a struggle to get them to leave!
The building is spacious and light and the recently refurbished outside area has lots of age-appropriate activities for each room to access independently.
The staff are caring and approachable, the meals are varied and nutritious, the manager is very accommodating, and the nursery has a very good value full-time rate. I would definitely recommend this nursery to others.

April 17, 2018 at 12:00 amThis has to be the best nursery in the area. They are caring and understanding of my child’s needs. They cater for all with their onsite kitchen and chef. They have outstanding facilities. They have so much room for all the kids and the staff are super helpful, friendly and informative. When I went back to work full time I had never left my child with anyone else and they were very reassuring and sent me updates of how my child is doing through the day via the app. I honestly wouldn’t choose anywhere or anyone else to leave my son with.

November 29, 2018 at 12:00 amMy son started at Busy Bees a year and a half ago and really enjoys attending. He settled in really quickly and staff were very good at putting us all at ease during this transition period. I feel that he has bonded well with all staff who take the time to get to know the children. They are always willing to spend time discussing any issues and have provided some useful advice when we’ve had concerns.
The children get involved in a variety of activities and have lots of opportunity for play, learning and getting outdoors. Regular updates are provided on what our son has been doing, as well as meals, sleep etc.
It’s often the little things that stand out, like staff making sure your child is at ease at drop off, or the time spent discussing things of specific interest with the children. These reassure us that the children are cared for by the staff.

October 21, 2019 at 12:00 amMy son loves it! He started in January at 9m and instantly settled in and has flourished since. He is so happy when I drop him off and has a great bond with the staff there who really care about the children and their development. They are always on hand for queries, questions or concerns. They have parents evenings along with parent partnership meetings to help feedback to each other. They are always doing creative things with play, using a variety of techniques, water, sand, paint, bubble sand to name a few to keep them engaged and stimulated. There is an app that I can track his food and nappy changes on along with nursery observations which is great as we can work on the same things at home with him to help him. There is a good-sized car park which is helpful at busy drop-off times, an on-site cook who prepares amazing meals with a six-week menu rotation, and a separate room for them to sleep in. It’s a lovely, fun, warm environment. I can’t rate the manager and her team highly enough!!

January 27, 2021 at 12:00 amHaving moved into the area I was struggling to find a nursery as good as my previous.
Busy Bees was recommended by a relative who had looked around a few other local nurseries.
The main selling point for me was that its not on a main road so away from fumes and how welcoming all the staff are.
Am yet to have a little girl who doesn’t want to go there.

Communication is easy and the office is quick to reply to any emails. I would definitely recommend.
