    Busy Bees is excellent. We have had the pleasure of sending both our Son and Daughter to Busy Bees. I couldn’t recommend the manager and her team enough.

    The level of care at the nursery is exceptional. Everyone works well as a team and the children always appear to be so happy. I have never encountered a miserable child or carer.
    The menu is varied, wholesome and natural, sourcing high-quality local farm produce as well as encouraging the children to enjoy the experience.
    They are attentive if the children are poorly giving a comprehensive update on how they appeared during the day. They encourage development in a structured and meaningful way keeping you constantly updated on their progress via the parent zone as well as giving parents homework for the improvement areas.
    Lastly they follow the three hours per day exercise routine hence my little one loving the outdoors and never wanting to sit down!
    My child is a very well balanced happy and well developed child and I thank all the staff at Busy Bees for their dedication and support and for creating an environment that my little one loves and enjoys.

    My son was 7 months old when he started at the nursery and is my only child, I was nervous about how he would do due to this. I am happy that the nursery staff treat him brilliantly, it gives me a massive relief. He loves going to the nursery and loves all the staff. He runs into the building in the morning and looks forward to his day.His key worker is amazing and has been very supportive of me and my son and is always approachable and contactable. I’m glad I chose this nursery over others as my son is treated so well and it’s a good price. I would 100% recommend.

    My son has been to 3 different nurseries and Busy Bees in Huntingdon is by far the only one I’ll be sad to see him leave when he starts school in September. All staff are very friendly and very good with the children. Would definitely recommend Busy Bees in Huntingdon to anyone looking to send their child to nursery.

    I was so worried when I first put my son in the nursery when I went back to work but the team at the nursery welcomed us and he settled very quickly. Since then he has thrived and developed so much. The team are so caring and give so much affection to my son. I’m so happy we made the decision to take our son to Busy Bees in Huntingdon. Thank you!

    My son was 9 months old when he started to attend Busy Bees nursery. At the beginning, I was very anxious about how he was going to settle in. Straightway, the nursery staff put me at ease; I was encouraged to call whenever I wanted to, to find out how my son was doing. At the end of each day, there is always a friendly member of staff available to tell me at length about my son’s day, which activity he enjoyed and how well he ate and slept. I was pleasantly surprised to see how quickly he settled in. Now he can’t wait to get out of the car when I drop him off in the morning!

    I also like the fact that the nursery organised various activities throughout the year which is a great way to meet other parents and get to know the nursery staff a bit better. As a member of the PPG, I feel involved in nursery life to some extent as I get the opportunity to regularly meet other group members to plan future events and discuss any issues.

    My daughter has been attending Busy Bees for several months after we had to pull her out of another nursery failing expectations as a parent. Since attending Busy Bees we noticed a dramatic change in our daughter. We drop her off with carers who welcome her with open arms, no separation anxiety always happy. The staff are fantastic and always very attentive. Never had any concerns, would highly recommend, very organised, pets and fish, great outdoor facilities, professional and happy we chose Busy Bees. Keep up the fantastic work.

    My daughter joined Busy Bees in November last year. It was the 5th nursery we’d looked at and the first we felt fully comfortable with.
    The manager is completely on the ball and any needs are always met with a smile and the reassurance that it’s covered. Our daughter has a milk allergy, which worried me a great deal when I thought about leaving her. I needn’t have worried, it’s catered for by the excellent chef and good communication between the staff.
    The team always seem cheerful and as though they have relationships with each child. The feedback I get at each day tells me how well they know our little girl because it’s the same things I see in her at home. The activities are great too, it gives me loads of inspiration for things I can do at home.
    The most precious thing in my life smiles, waves and toddles off for breakfast on her own when she arrives and she’s the same happy (and tired) little girl that comes to me for a cuddle when I go to collect her, that speaks for itself!

    We have been going to Busy Bees for the last 12 months and can honestly say it’s the best nursery we have been to. The staff have all been welcoming, honest and very helpful, the facilities in the rooms is top class, but more importantly my child has received a fantastic schedule of learning and reading and his overall development has come on leaps and bounds and he is now very much ready for school. We love the themed weeks and ever changing itinerary for the children too, they put so much effort into this. I would also like to add the app is regularly updated so we always get to see what our child has been up to every day with photos, which are great. Lastly, we want to thank everyone at Busy Bees, particularly the manager, for remaining open during the recent lockdown and helping us and our children to carry on as normal, we couldn’t have done this without them.

    We are so happy that we have sent our son to Busy Bees. The staff at the nursery are so friendly and have many fun activities for the children. Our son was struggling to socialize with other children and had delayed speech, however they worked with me and my husband to so how to bring our son out of his shell. He seems to be doing much better. He is very eager to talk about his day and looks forward to going to nursery, and is even making friends. Their positive and motivating approach is wonderful. We are so pleased. Both me and my husband are also key workers, they were one of the few nurseries that remained open during the pandemic. I felt safe with our son there due to their strict hygiene and wellness checks of our son and others at the nursery. It was nice knowing that they can be very dependable. I also like the fact they are open even during school holidays, since unfortunately me and my husband work during that time. The managers and staff are lovely and hardworking.

    Busy Bees Huntingdon is amazing, they were quick to help find my daughter a space after being let down by a previous childcare service, closing due to Covid-19. I was a little anxious changing settings but both my daughter and myself were made to feel welcome. Temperatures are taken daily at the door before entering and it is quite a swift, quick but positive process, meaning it’s a little easier to get off to work on time. My daughter really isn’t phased by this process. The staff are friendly and welcoming ensuring that my daughter is well looked after. I get detailed personal daily feedback and I can login to see photos and observations of my child having fun! I highly recommend Busy Bees Huntingdon! Keep up the good work.

    I have worked with the nursery in my deputy role at the local primary school for a number of years, and now my daughter attends. She is taking part in a wide range of activities and trying a broad and exciting diet – I’m jealous! My daughter is happy and excited to attend and comes out with a smile. The staff are kind, caring and considerate, making my daughter and me feel at ease. They have been particularly brilliant during these crazy times! Thank you.

    Busy Bees have shown great commitment during these uncertain times and have made me and my daughter feel so comfortable in coming back to nursery. The staff have always been instrumental in helping me get my daughter potty trained and so supportive. The app has also helped me stay informed throughout the day and I love getting the photos through, they always make me smile. A big thank you!

    Since starting at Busy Bees, Huntingdon in October 2022, our daughter has had the best experience. The staff were really great at helping her settle in and the communication with us as parents was great as well to give us reassurance. Our daughter has a great bond with her key worker but all the staff that she has contact with have been amazing and we couldn’t recommend them enough.

    Our son loves coming here. The management team have really done a fantastic job with the recruitment and making sure the nursery is an enjoyable place for the kids and also the parents to visit. The food seems fantastic, our son seems to eat everything all the time, which is all you can ask for! Would highly recommend.

    Our daughter joined the little bombos room, coming from a day care that we were not happy with. After a friend’s recommendation we toured the Busy Bees, Huntingdon facility, met with the staff and ultimately decided to make the switch. The admin and staff here are amazing and you can tell they really care about the children. The key workers are professionals and they take the time to learn our daughter’s interests. They do so many activities, she brings something home almost everyday and they post everything to their parents app so I feel connected and informed. Her development has also skyrocketed, she tries new foods, she has made friends and blossomed into a confident and curious toddler. They also have great facilities, clean and well kept and they are outside every day which we really love. She just transitioned into the next room up and she is thriving. She loves it here and we do too! Busy Bees, Huntingdon is the best decision we’ve ever made.

    I am really happy with my son’s progression since being at the setting. He started at 3 months old and has thrived since day one, with him just about to turn 1 year old. The staff all care for him and you can tell this is genuine as well as the care for all of the other children not just mine. The chef provided a great weaning selection for him and now he doesn’t stop eating. Just as an overall, I can’t wait to see what else he can accomplish at the setting and I’d highly recommend the setting to parents of other young children. It makes being a full time working parent a lot easier knowing your child is safe and cared for.
