Busy Bees Daybrook

My daughter started this nursery in July when she was 9 months old, the Busy Bees staff have helped her settle in. She is happy and cared for, they comfort her and she is always busy with different activities. The staff are very friendly, welcoming and professional and I feel at ease leaving my daughter there each week. The nursery is well presented with plenty of activities to occupy and challenge the children daily. They also have a range of fresh food on offer. Busy Bees keep you up to date via the parent zone app so I can see what my daughter has been doing and how she is progressing, the staff are also more than happy to chat before and after, for any information or concerns. I sometimes work away and this nursery is always accommodating at offering extra sessions for me to book when needed. I am more than happy with this nursery and I would recommend it.

My son loves visiting this nursery and is always excited to go in and see the staff in reception and in his room. The activities he does whilst at nursery keep him stimulated and are challenging enough for his age. After hearing about his day it is always varied either playing outside, singing, puzzles, painting etc! The staff are always friendly, they give detailed handovers in the evening at pick up times and have good policies in place for accidents and illness etc. I couldn’t wish for a better childcare setting, I am confident in their care for my son and feel comfortable leaving him there to play.

Both my daughter and son attend Busy Bees Daybrook and absolutely love it! The staff are all so friendly and have a caring nature. As a parent, I’m well informed of what they have done in the day and the activities they have been up to. They update the app regularly so I can see how they are getting on during the day regarding eating sleeping any nappy changes etc and photos are also uploaded regularly. They also have a fantastic library section to encourage children to read at home and also a breakfast bar for parents in the morning which is a big hit!
Would recommend this nursery to anyone I can honestly say I trust them with my children 100%.

My daughter started nursery in 2022 and she absolutely loves it. It has really helped with her development she has always been stuck to myself and her mother as she was born in lockdown so wasn’t around many people but now she integrates with more children and adults and we believe that has come from her experience at nursery. Staff have been really good with her and she has formed some good relationships with them. The app the nursery has is excellent as it allows me to check how her day is going whilst at work and they have just added what foods she is actually eating which is a massive help as it helps us to be more creative at home. We were recommended this nursery by a few family members and we would be happy to recommend it to others ourselves

My eldest daughter started at Busy Bees at eleven months old in 2018 and she settled in great and stayed there until she started school! My youngest daughter started last year at the same age and I can’t fault the staff with the care and love they have provided for both my two girls. They both have thrived there and go into nursery happy and enjoy all the activities they do and it’s lovely to get the updates and photos throughout the day on the app. Nothing Is too much trouble for the staff as my youngest has a dairy allergy and has always been catered for. I feel relaxed knowing my girls have been well looked after and love hearing about their day on pick up.

May was our second month with Busy Bees and our little girl has really settled in. The staff are all so supportive to her needs and always keep us updated with how she’s doing and how her days have been. We love following her day on the app too. It’s great to get photos and updates throughout the day.

My son has been attending Busy Bees since February. We are so impressed with the nursery. The facilities are great and the staff are so lovely and approachable. Nothing is ever too much. They were able to have him at short notice when we had a childcare issue. He participates in lots of fun, stimulating and educational activities appropriate for his age. We are never in doubt that he is in safe hands when he’s at nursery, he has extra supervision needs due to his sleep apnea and his care plan gives us confidence that he is kept safe with individualised plans and procedures in place for him. He has a great variety of nutritional foods and we are so impressed with the menus. We feel that we are kept well informed of his days at nursery by detailed handovers and the app. We were really happy with the staff’s response when he wasn’t feeling well. We have lots of confidence in the nursery and would 100% recommend it to anyone. We are so glad we picked Busy Bees.

Excellent nursery. Staff are so warm and friendly. You are updated daily on your child’s progress and regular pictures are uploaded onto the app. It is a lovely nursery and I would recommend it to everyone!

Our child has attended this nursery from the baby room at 8 months old all the way through to pre-school and has loved it here and thrived. Looks forward to going to nursery and leaves happy at the end of every nursery day. We went from 3 half days to 3 full days easily after 1.5 years old and transition to different stages was well managed. Communication is good and you can check online throughout the day to see what they are up to, how they’re eating/sleeping, if you are nervous. Good handover at the end of sessions. Great, friendly staff who genuinely care for and are interested in the children as individuals. Clean environment varied activities and good resources and facilities especially outdoors.

My little boy is 15 months old and has attended Busy Bees Nursery in Daybrook since December 2022 when he was 9 months old.
I was anxious sending my little boy to nursery as I was unsure how he would cope or settle in but the reassurance from the staff has been amazing. He loves nursery and I see him developing all the time. He attends 3 days a week and the staff are so welcoming, friendly, polite and professional. Nothing is a problem and they made me as a mother feel at ease from the get-go and I wouldn’t send my child anywhere else.
I love the updates provided and the fact the staff genuinely care and are on hand to also provide advice if needed.
The office staff are also so nice and helpful and always greet parents and children in the morning.
Special mention to the centre director, senior room manager and 3 other staff members in particular, although all the staff are truly brilliant!
