Busy Bees Bedford

The nursery is really lovely. My niece went here so when it came to looking for our boy, we knew he would be well looked after. It comes in really handy that I also work next door.

My daughter has been attending this nursery since she was ten months old and she will be four next month. Through the different age rooms, she has been very happy and well cared for. There was good communication between the key workers and us parents. The variety of activities and toys/equipment is good and she does not get bored. She seems to have made nice friends as she talks about them at home. Her development has been supported and encouraged at her pace. I have and would recommend this nursery to others.

Wonderful place. Both my children have been happy here. Great team.

Busy Bees Manton Lane has been paramount in the development of our child. He has grown in confidence and they have helped improve his eating, especially the trying of new food. They have tailored the learning to the interest of the children and my son comes home excited to tell us about his day. The staff are helpful and friendly making it the perfect environment to drop off and leave your child. Thank you for it all.

The team at Manton Lane are brilliant, friendly, knowledgeable and always very welcoming. We currently have our 2nd child attending, so have got to know them all very well. The low staff turnover speaks volumes for this setting. The facilities are well maintained and the garden/outdoor space is perfect.

Due to Covid restrictions, it is hard to know details of issues such as cleanliness, recourse, etc, but I do know my daughter is happy at Busy Bees. She comes out happy and singing, she likes her food, has her nappy changed regularly, and I get lots of lovely photos from her day. The staff are welcoming, and her room workers seem to have a good report with her. If anyone asked me, I would recommend the nursery to other parents.

We have two children currently with the nursery, one in preschool and one in babies. Both absolutely love the place. The best part is the team, everyone is really friendly and knowledgeable and clearly enjoy working with children. The nursery is kept very clean and the garden is fantastic. The nursery also did a brilliant job with the current pandemic.

As always fab service provided by the staff. Always encourage learning and development as well as there to support when a child is upset or in need of cuddles. Our daughter loves attending and continues to role play at home with the staff (she has telephone conversations on her mobile at home) I also really appreciate the varied and nutritious meals served, encouraging new tastes and textures. I would like more photo’s on the app though as I love seeing what they do.

All my 4 children have gone to Busy Bees here in Bedford. They have been very well cared for, looked after and the manager and her team have become family. The boys have always had fun and talked about their friends and the activities they have done. My youngest is now leaving preschool truly ready for his next adventure at reception in school. One of the proudest things my child has achieved is his ability to recognise and write his name! Thank you for all the best childcare for 15 years.

My daughter started at Busy Bees after an international move which brought us to Bedford. She was very shaken by the move and the staff at Busy Bees were wonderful with her, she settled within a few weeks and absolutely loves her days at nursery. Her key worker is fun and loving and my daughter talks about her lots at home. Three other staff members, in particular, are also so great with my daughter and the manager has always been very helpful and really accommodating of any changes we have made. The app is great and keeps us up to date with what she has eaten and how she has slept. I have never had a single concern at this nursery about her care, she always comes home clean (well as clean as any 2.5-year-old can be) fed and happy and any toilet accidents she has had, she has been helped with. There is a great outdoor area as well for outside time and the meals are balanced. The fees are standard for the area. Highly recommend.
