Busy Bees Norfolk and Norwich Hospital

Excellent in every aspect. We have had times when we needed extra hours and the staff arranged everything. Sometimes when we were late picking up, they were really helpful. The staff are amazing and would recommend to everyone.

The manager and all the staff at Busy Bees were really supportive and welcoming to our daughter. They were able to immediately offer temporary childcare to enable our daughter to be well looked after and for me and my partner to be able to continue our work as key workers during the initial phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was invaluable to know she was being well cared for and had settled in really well to the nursery. The staff always wore a smile and were really friendly and relaxed in such challenging times. My daughter thrived in her time with them and really grew in her confidence. They have a great outside space which she loved.
We would like to thank all the staff for their kindness, enthusiasm and understanding. We would highly recommend the nursery.

My daughter has been fully supported and cared for during her years at Busy Bees. The staff are amazing and my daughter will miss them tremendously. She learned so much whilst there and the nursery manager and her team do such a great job with the children. During pick up my daughter always had a smile on her face and was always extremely excited to tell me about all the interesting and fun things she had been getting up to. I would not hesitate to recommend Busy Bees at Norfolk and Norwich Hospital – I always felt very comforted when she was there as I knew that she would always be looked after, stimulated and cared for.

My grandson always comes out with a smile on his face, he has learnt how to draw within the lines and write his own name. There are many things he comes home and tells me about such as stories they read, the educational toys he’s learnt from and how he loves jigsaws! He’s learnt many songs from nursery. The staff there are exceptional too, they come out to greet you due to Covid-19 restrictions with a mask and talk about his day, what he’s done and also how much he’s eaten. He especially loves the outside play area. The food there is exceptional, I have noticed that they also cater for vegetarians as they put the food menu outside for the parents to see. The car park is easy and safe to get into, you are given a card which you have to swipe for the gate to open and again to go out and there is always plenty of space to park. If they were to have an accident or an issue, the staff will inform you of what happened and how they were looked after. My son has had many happy years here.

My daughter has been at Busy Bees since she was 7months old. The team go above and beyond every day. She wouldn’t take a bottle and many people tried- in the end, the manager got her to drink from a cup.
My daughter is now 21/2 bright, funny and so happy to go to nursery.
Busy Bees listen to our wishes and always try and accommodate.
Thank you all!

My son has attended Busy Bees for two years. The care he has received has either been good or excellent throughout each room. There are some absolute shining star staff here, who we have been sad to leave with each room move. The food is fantastic, onsite chef, variation each week and every term it’s changed to keep it seasonal. They try to get the children outside daily as long as weather allows. Suncream provided. The electronic record system is ok. Observations recorded against the key skills framework which is helpful to track the little ones progress. Parents evenings offered. Any issues we’ve raised have been promptly rectified, and action taken appropriately. We’ve recommended this nursery to several friends and family.

Brilliant staff, excellent teaching, great location and so friendly My son every morning says I love school daddy.
The food was healthy and my son actually ate vegetables, he is a famous salad dodger. I cannot praise the staff enough.

Busy Bees has been such a special part of our family over the last seven years and we cannot thank the Manager and the team enough for all the care you have shown to both our children throughout such important periods of their lives. We have always felt more than confident entrusting our children to them and have watched them both thrive as they have grown into the most amazing children as a result of the nurturing and development they have given them. Those who work in the early year’s sector should never underestimate the special roles that each of you play in our children’s and our lives and we thank you endlessly for all that you do. I would not hesitate in recommending Busy Bees Norfolk and Norwich Hospital, and often have, to any of my friends seeking a child care setting.

We had both our children in this nursery. The older one from summer 2018 until summer 2021, and the little one from late spring 2021 until summer 2022. The management and the staff have both been outstanding at all times. Management was extremely helpful and flexible in accommodating the needs of our family and sometimes even suggested solutions that we would not have come up with ourselves. Apart from that, they felt like friends of our little family. Also through the pandemic, they were extraordinarily helpful and remained open, whenever legally possible. The staff has always been highly motivated and our sons enjoyed the experience throughout. The room managers and other teachers in the room were kindhearted and loving and gave the kids a fantastic experience. The nursery could benefit from access to further outside facilities. For those reasons, we stayed at the Busy Bees for over four years even though we initially had considered them only a temporary solution.

The staff continue to provide a safe, engaging learning space for children, working with parents to ensure the experience is tailored to the individual. Communication with parents is super and professional. I would wholeheartedly and with confidence, recommend this nursery to others.
