Busy Bees Nursery

I highly recommend Busy Bees. Great nursery that can meet the needs and provide all the necessary support needed for each individual child. Childcare is delivered to the highest of standards. Great support staff, well-resourced and experienced. The boys thoroughly enjoyed their time there.

My son has attended Busy Bees for four months now. So far, I cannot fault the care he receives. The staff are excellent, professional, welcoming and exceptionally organised. During this period, he has been unwell on several occasions. The ladies at Busy Bees went above and beyond to take care of him, till I arrived. They are compassionate and truly care about the welfare of their students and parents. He thoroughly enjoys his time at nursery.

My twin sons has been in attendance at Busy Bees Nursery since August 2021. It was the best care and educational choice I could’ve made for them. They are non-identical. Both have thrived since being in attendance. I’d had concerns that one of my sons had autism. I was very unprepared and unaware of how to get access to diagnostic assessments and speech and language assessments. For a long time, my concerns have been put down to the effects of a pandemic. The manager has a wealth of experience in SEN, other staff members also went above and beyond but the whole team are amazing and facilitated getting an early diagnosis and an Education and Health Care Plan. Arranging meetings, referring to appropriate services, checking in on how we as a family were doing. Constantly working with my son to accommodate his extra needs, being inclusive, adaptive and responsive. This went beyond just being an outstanding nursery. I truly believe that because we attended this nursery it has had a lifelong impact on both my sons’ development. They are happy and working towards their potential. They are helping us transition to a mainstream school. Both my sons feel very comfortable. I fully trust that they are in the safest environment for their specific needs with experienced staff. They are always happy to attend. As I work in the NHS and have shifts, they are constantly trying to accommodate extra days and through the nursery I have made friends with other parents. For all this I am truly grateful and would recommend this nursery to any parent with a child with a special educational need.

Our twins currently attend Busy Bees and have done since April 2022 when they turned three years old. They attended a small childminder setting prior to this so they were very overwhelmed and shy when they first started, but I cannot praise the staff enough for how patient and caring they were with them until they came out of their shell. In September 2022 they moved up to big bumbles and they absolutely love it! They have little friends and play separately with them, have lots to tell me about their fun-filled days. Daily updates on activities and meals on the app always makes my day, to see they will be busy learning and eating delicious, varied, healthy meals, that they really enjoy. Learning/play time is excellent, there is always outdoor play when the weather permits and always lots going on for them to take part in and enjoy. All the staff are so friendly, from kitchen and cleaning staff to admin and nursery practitioners. It is just an all round, lovely nursery.

We have had an extremely positive experience with Busy Bees since our daughter started back in August 2019, which has continued with our second child who joined in 2022. The staff are so friendly from the moment you arrive in the morning, right through till pick up. You can tell they really get to know the children by the feedback they give you, with regular updates/pictures via the app and verbally at the end of the day. My daughter who is now in reception still talks about her time there and has settled so well into school, thanks to all the preparation nursery did to support this. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this nursery to any families in the area!

My little boy has attended Busy Bees since he was five months old. He has developed amazingly throughout his time here. All the separate rooms are age-related, and the activities suit their abilities. In each room he has attended, I have seen a difference and his confidence growing. When he got a bit older after Covid, he became apprehensive and didn’t want to attend, this was dealt with, with compassion and care by the staff, and it soon passed. He will be leaving in September to start school, and I know he will miss the staff and the nursery as he enjoys it. I have especially seen a massive difference, and he has come on leaps and bounds in the last couple of months. I definitely think he is school ready, and this is down to the brilliant staff at Busy Bees.

My daughter attended this nursery for around 18 months. She absolutely loved it, the staff were consistently caring and she had so much fun! We will be returning to Busy Bees for holiday care and I know she’ll be thrilled to go back!

My daughter has been attending Busy Bees Nursery for over a year now. She has developed amazingly and now knows sign. Majority of the staff are amazing and show kindness and care to all children, as observed during a couple of stay and plays. Parents are greeted with a smile and a warm welcome whenever you are dropping off/picking up your child. The nursery has an app which keeps parents updated on the activities/meals/nappy changes/naps throughout the days and often post pictures of your child taking part in some of the activities which is lovely to see. Highly recommend this nursery to anyone thinking of putting their child into it

Our little boy is 12 months old and has been attending Busy Bees since he was 9 months old. He has settled into nursery so well and we couldn’t be happier. It is so reassuring knowing how well he is taken care of and how content he is whilst there.
Having recently visited the nursery for their ‘stay and play’ session, it was very clear and lovely to learn that he is not the only child who obviously feels the same way. As when other parents/carers left their children not one child (to my knowledge) was upset – which I feel speaks volumes of how content they all are whilst under the supervision of staff there. All staff myself and husband have come into contact with from reception to the classroom have been amazing and are truly a credit to the nursery. We can’t wait to see how our little boy is going to learn and grow with the amazing support he is given from the nursery, we couldn’t ask for more from them!

It can often be a difficult decision choosing a nursery for your child, however choosing Busy Bees was easy. As soon as we visited we sensed a lovely atmosphere and it was apparent immediately that it was the right nursery for our daughter. As a nursery, the staff go above and beyond to ensure children are safe, well looked after, and have lots of fun!
My daughter attended Busy Bees from being 9 months old and has only recently left to start her school journey, throughout her time at Busy Bees, I always found staff to be very approachable, knowledgeable, and reassuring but even more importantly they genuinely cared and made sure every child felt special, this resulted in my daughter feeling very happy and content during her time there, she formed some fantastic relationships with staff and other children that have now become friends.
Overall I would highly recommend Busy Bees to any parent currently deciding on a nursery – it was the best decision we made!
