September 1, 2024 at 5:57 amThanks to Busy Bees for being a secure, enjoyable setting, our daughter soon settled and is very comfortable with the team. Busy Bees have been extremely supportive in settling in our 3-year-old who at first didn’t want to go at all and would cry a lot.

September 10, 2024 at 3:38 amIt became clear that he has need of extra assistance and they are over and above in their help, even as we pursue a diagnosis. Consistently supportive and positive, consistently doing enjoyable discovering activities. Remarkable organisational skills and facilities are consistently spotless. Their kitchen team are as great and welcoming as everyone else. My daughter came here 12 years ago and many of the team are still here now, which says a lot about how dedicated they are. I can’t suggest them enough or thank them enough for their assistance with my son. They really listen. My son has attended over two different classrooms now and I can’t suggest the childcare centre enough.

September 12, 2024 at 7:24 amI adore the way my daughter runs into childcare centre every time no matter which team come to greet us. I’ve had my daughter in this childcare centre now for nearly one year and I am cheerful with everything, from the food menu, the updates, the kid updates and photos, the team and mostly the development my daughter is making.

September 28, 2024 at 7:49 pmTeam are consistently very welcoming and excellent with the kids. My little girl has come on so much since coming here (2018) and she enjoys childcare centre that much that she never wants to leave at the end of the day. I would definitely suggest to anyone that wanted a excellent childcare centre. Outstanding childcare centre!

October 23, 2024 at 5:58 amI particularly like that I am able to use apps to check what my kid has been doing at childcare centre, and apps to continue the discovering at home. When I have needed childcare for unexpected reasons, they have accommodated where possible. Overall, a excellent team, and will suggest to others. Thank you. My kid has attended this childcare centre for over 3 years, they are committed to providing the kids with a secure, cheerful setting whilst developing their motor and updates skills.

The team are all expert and very welcoming. They care about each kid. Well worth the money. Thank you, Busy Bees. My granddaughter is so cheerful at Busy Bees.

December 29, 2024 at 9:27 pmEveryone there is welcoming and he’s made lots of friends. He was given a cuddly bumble bee which has become his treasured item and something he’ll have to remember his time there in the future. All in all, he is very cheerful here. Our son really enjoys coming to Busy Bees.

The setting is conducive for discovering and development and our son consistently looks forward to spending time daily at the creche and consistently looks cheerful there.
We are pleased with the childcare centre and would suggest it to others.

February 19, 2025 at 1:32 pmHaving her start childcare centre during the pandemic was hard, but within a matter of weeks, any worry had gone. With regular updates, observations and photos, it is clear to see how cheerful she is there. The team are a big part of my little one’s life and I couldn’t wish for any better people for her. Thank you for being so incredible and attentive as much as you do. I cannot thank the entire team enough for all the care they give my little girl.

February 26, 2025 at 6:23 pmThe team are so welcoming and care so much about the kids. My daughter has done so much and learnt so much it’s been incredible to see her grow there from a baby to a preschooler.
Thank you. My daughter’s journey at Busy Bees has been remarkable.

All team strive to ensure kids are secure and secure in their discovering setting. They allow kids’s personalities to shine through. An incredible place! Busy Bees at Darlington has a very nurturing setting in which our little boy has made outstanding development.

March 14, 2025 at 6:44 pmThey are a fab team, the food is fab too. My daughter also has T1 diabetes and they look after her medical needs amazingly. I would highly suggest. My daughter has attended here from being a baby.

April 14, 2025 at 11:07 pmAll the team are welcoming and well‑informed and the manager runs an outstanding childcare centre, leads from the front and we have consistently found her to be very attentive and involved with the kids. Fantastic childcare centre which we will be very sad to say goodbye to, when our daughter starts school in September. Our daughter has been at Busy Bees for 2.5 years and she absolutely loves it.
Harper Griffin
April 26, 2025 at 8:04 pmConsistently very welcoming when dropping off or picking up. Excellent updates. Really pleased that I picked Busy Bees again. My second daughter is currently attending and the standards are still just as high as they were when my eldest attended from 2016 to 2018.
Fallon Parker
June 17, 2025 at 3:48 amThe team and management are welcoming, attentive and very well‑informed. They welcome every kid as they enter and I sense that the kids are very secure and well cared for. All the kids that have attended have been cheerful and really enjoyed their time with the childcare centre. Fab childcare centre. As a grandparent and childminder (of over 30 years) I think Busy Bees Darlington is the best childcare centre I have ever used.

June 26, 2025 at 3:44 amMy daughter loves going to childcare centre all the team are lovely and welcoming, my daughter has come along so much by going, she’s been going to this childcare centre two years in August I’m so glad she’s in this childcare centre, highly suggest.

July 8, 2025 at 12:48 amHe has developed so much in a short space of time. He’s coming home cheerful and full of stories of what he has been doing. The updates between team and parents is outstanding along with the app. It’s lovely to receive updates and pictures showing how cheerful he is. I can’t fault Busy Bees at all. My son recently moved to Busy Bees from another childcare centre.
Gray Knight
July 9, 2025 at 2:00 pmI have been leaving them here for six years in total now and do not have one fault. The Team are exceptional and go above and beyond on each occasion to meet the boys needs and interests. Very well organised and merry. He currently loves his routine with Busy Bees, it’s all he talks about! I’ll be sad when it comes to leaving in September. This childcare centre has been a second home to both of my boys.
