Busy Bees Harrogate South Drive

The staff and the manager of our nursery have been amazing – our wee one is transitioning between babies and toddlers, and we have been kept updated with progress and informed as to transition days and a programme of progress. This is our third child through this nursery and they have been amazing right though, can’t recommend enough!

Brilliant nursery – my little girl settled there immediately, she loves all the staff and gives them a big hug when she arrives. We get great updates and photos through the day via the app and she really seems to get to play with a huge variety of activities! The food selection is varied and healthy, she always eats well and has started trying different things at home since starting there. The staff all really care and encourage her lots, and bonus points for the baby ducks which my little girl adored.

Our two daughters have had a fabulous experience during their time at Busy Bees South Drive. We’ve been so pleased with the way they have developed both socially and mentally, with much of this due to the excellent environment that the manager and her team have created. We’ve been part of the community at South Drive for the best part of five years and have only had positive experiences, which considering what we’ve all faced over the past couple of years is no mean feat. The learning that’s put in place, the play time the children get to enjoy and the fresh meals that are prepared each day are of the highest quality, and moreover, the genuine care that’s provided is top-notch. I would fully recommend this nursery to any parents looking for a place for their child in the area as it’s excellent.

my son has been two years in this nursery and I’m very happy with the staff and how much he is learning. The staff are ready always to help us and treat us, every time by my side if we need something. Soon I will send my other child. Friendly environment, clean space, good food for children. Lots of activities and they learn many things there. I recommend to every parent if they want a safe place to leave their children. For me, it is the best nursery in Harrogate.

We relocated to the area recently and I was very anxious about my daughter settling into a new nursery environment, I had nothing to worry about at all! The whole team have been nothing but warm and welcoming to myself and my daughter. She loves going to nursery and has so much to tell me about her day! The team communicate well via email and the parent app so I can keep up to date with the day-to-day goings on. A really great nursery!

Our youngest daughter started at Busy Bees Harrogate South Drive in the summer, following in her sister’s footsteps and we are once again thrilled with how she has settled and how well she is cared for.
The staff team have been wonderful and have gone above and beyond to ensure she is safe and happy and her routine is followed as closely as possible. Attention to detail, caring attitudes and lovely activities really do make this such a special nursery.

My daughter has been attending Busy Bees Harrogate South Drive for over two years now.
She has made lots of friends and will always come home with stories of what she has been doing that day.
There is always a wide variety of activities going on so the kids are never bored. It’s great to see all the photos going up of the fun things the kids have been up to.
The staff are excellent, it’s very clear they all care greatly for the kids and want to ensure they have the best possible experience.
They take the time to tell me what my daughter has been doing that day, always ask how they are in a morning and if they need breakfast.
I would happily recommend South Drive to anyone.

I have a daughter at Busy Bees now and have had the pleasure of my two older children enjoying the setting too. It has been a giant hug for our children and us and an extension of home with nutritional food and fun play activities each day. I love finding out what she has been up to each day and if I cant wait for pick up then there is a great app I can log into to find pictures and information about her day.
With some staff there for a considerable time, it shows the space not only works for children and the parents/carers, but also the staff, who seem genuinely happy. I couldn’t be happier and recommend the nursery to anyone who asks.

Busy Bees Harrogate South Drive is a fantastic nursery; the staff are incredible, they nurture, support and challenge my little boy daily. My son absolutely loves nursery, he talks fondly of the staff, his friends and the activities he has completed throughout the day. The provision caters to the children’s interests as well as ensuring that they develop in all other crucial areas in their early years. The manager leads the team very well, the communication is excellent, we get daily updates and the personal anecdotes on pick up and drop off really assure you that your child has had a good day and how well the staff know each child personally. My second child is due to start soon and I know she will be well looked after and make lots of progress (just as her brother has done!).
I would 100% recommend South Drive, you know your child is in safe hands in a nurturing and engaging environment.

My daughter has been attending Busy Bees South Drive for 18 months and she adores it. There is very rarely a tear or hesitation at going into her room – even after holidays or Christmas! She gets involved and enjoys all the activities the staff put thought into preparing. Her speech has come on leaps and bounds and I’ve no doubt this is thanks to nursery and it is lovely to now hear her speak about her friends and the staff members names with such fondness. The food she is exposed to is varied and nutritious, which is important to us. When we chose South Drive it was purely on a good gut feel and everyone, children and staff alike, seemingly very happy and I can confirm this is the case. The manager is very approachable and listens to any concerns you have. Would recommend South Drive to any parents.
