Busy Bees Ashton House

I went into the office for more info regarding the 30 hours of funding. The manager provided all the information I required and also more, going over and beyond.

My children love coming to nursery and always tell their friends about it. Whenever my children go in with an interest, the staff are always thinking of different things they can do to encourage them to learn new things from this. It’s amazing to see what they come up with and how they get so much from just talking to my children. When their grandparent comes to collect, she always has so many nice things to say about what the staff have told her.

I am a grandmother/guardian of a child at this nursery and I can’t thank them enough for how they helped my grandson when he first started nursery. He had recently been abandoned by his mother and was very afraid of me leaving him when I first took him he cried and clung to me but all the staff were so kind and patient with him and now he runs in and doesn’t look back, he loves going and even asks to go on weekends.
I would highly recommend this nursery to anybody they helped turn a frightened, confused child into a happy confident little boy.

Due to circumstances, we had to find a nursery very very quickly. My daughter started this nursery full time from 8 months old. She is now 2 and has come on leaps and bounds since being here.
She loves going to nursery which is the most important thing to me.
She has fun activities daily and I am kept up to date with these via photos. She’s also formed excellent relationships with staff and I have found all staff will go above and beyond to help my daughter or me and dad no matter the situation.
They are excellent with my daughter’s allergy making sure that whatever she eats looks the same as the other children and is nutritious.
I really cannot recommend this nursery enough and I am so happy we chose them!

After having a year off MAT leave with my little boy I was anxious and nervous about my little one starting Nursery. We have gone round and looked at a few but Ashton stood out to us. The staff team at Ashton House reassured myself and my family. They allowed us to have many settle session to support the needs of myself and my little boy. The staff took the time to really get to know my son, learning all about his likes and interest. We have been coming to Ashton House now for over 6months and can’t express how happy we have been (and still are!) My little boy has grown so much in confidence and learning new skills each day. The staff go above and beyond and take pride in what they do. They ensure that they are providing fun activities each and every day. The outdoor space is brilliant which my little boy loves and it’s great to see they go out each and every day. The management team take pride in their nursery which is very clear to see and are very approachable and accommodating. 10/10

My daughter has been attending Busy Bees for 18 months now and I cannot fault the care she receives.
She has recently had her two year review and it is an excellent reflection on the nursery and how they have helped her develop. Everybody I have come into contact with has a caring attitude and genuine interest in my child’s care and development.

My son goes to nursery with a big smile on his face every day. He loves the staff and friends from nursery. Outdoor space is amazing. Nursery staff are very friendly and helpful. Love that all meals are prepared fresh. Would recommend it to everyone. Best nursery.

My son has only been with the nursery for a matter of weeks but I am already extremely impressed. My daughter also attended and left 5 years ago and the staff are as helpful and friendly as they were back then and there were a lot of familiar faces which was nice.
It’s never easy leaving a baby in nursery to go back to work but the staff made it so easy and made sure I was comfortable with everything and that they knew as much as they possibly could about my son to make it as stress-free for him as possible.
The app is great and the team are really good at posting updates so throughout the day I get to see photos, what he has eaten, played with etc. and it’s really comforting. We have already had a mini observation/progress update on where he is with certain tasks and he’s only been there 2 weeks.

Thank you!

Busy Bees at Ashton House is an excellent setting. The staff are so caring and nurturing and our 3-year old son has loved going since he first started at 14 months old. The building is a beautiful old house and is set in the middle of a large park making for a lovely stroll at either end of each day and lots of outside space to learn and play.
The last 18 months have been hard for everyone but during lockdown mandated closures, Busy Bees kept in touch and even provided activities through a dedicated app to keep our son entertained and to support his development.
The key workers really care, know their stuff and the management team really prioritise the needs of the children and their health and safety above everything else.
Having just gone into preschool – my son is already being prepared for transitioning to school next year and I’m confident he’s in good and nurturing hands.

I’ve returned from maternity leave earlier than expected, leading me to put my 5-month-old son into nursery a lot earlier than I had planned. This caused me to understandably feel anxious for my child, but it’s honestly been the best thing for him and I have no regrets, he is always so happy and the amount of fun he has at nursery and it’s so amazing to see through the app. He’s come on so much, I’ve had a lot of help and support through the staff in the room and the kitchen staff with guidance on weaning which has now led to my boy being happy to try all types of foods. Management is great at reassuring you with settling in sessions for your child and I can’t thank the staff enough for the care and love they provide my son every single day. It’s the best feeling to be able to leave your child knowing he’s confident and happy enough to go off and enjoy his day.
