Busy Bees The Rye

We came to High Wycombe in 2014. We read the Ofsted. Busy Bees was “good” and others “outstanding”. Ofsted in my opinion consistently gets it wrong. Busy Bees at the Rye is outstanding. Our daughter began there just turned one, not crawling or talking yet and emerged three years later a happy, confident, chatty little girl with lots of young friends. Each carer was enthusiastic, engaged in their work, devoted, friendly to parents and affectionate to kids. Our daughter had to do long days, three days a week, between Dad dropping her off at 8.15 and Mum picking up at 6.15. Not once in three years did we have to worry. Her care was attentive, thoughtful and compassionate throughout her time there. She was stimulated to play and learn and developed well socially and verbally. I can’t remember a single day when our daughter was sad after a day at Busy Bees, and I can remember lots when she finished the long day entirely happy. Thank you Busy Bees people! You’re great.

I am so pleased that my son comes to such a fantastic nursery.

My son loves nursery and talks about it very fondly. He is clearly learning so much, developing new skills and having a great time. All of my interactions with the nursery are first class. The staff are friendly, engaged, fun and so focused on the children. My son has had a new brother in the last few months and this was quite unsettling for him but it was so comforting knowing how engaged and supportive the staff were at the nursery, that we could talk to them about our concerns and to see and hear what they were doing to support him and look after him.

I also love the variety of different activities that the nursery undertakes, supporting charity events, introducing the children to new activities and cultures and giving them the opportunity to experience lots of fun things.

Bringing my son to nursery does not feel like dropping him off with strangers, it feels like leaving him with an extended family.

Impressed with the nursery. We have used for both our children and they have enjoyed their time here.

Supportive staff, caring environment. The kids enjoy their time and have made connections with the staff and other children. Very happy with the nursery.

Just wanted to say thank you and how happy we were with our experience at Busy Bees at The Rye. Everyone was so helpful and accomodating to us and our needs. And for our daughter, she was very warmly welcomed and looked after by the toddler team. She especially loved the food. The whole team are all lovely and we will miss you. We would highly recommend.

We’ve been fortunate to have both of our children go through Busy Bees at The Rye at separate times and have been absolutely delighted with the care they have both received. Learning is fun for them at Busy Bees and the excitement they’ve both shown in the morning typifies their attitudes of love towards the activities they do. The growth I’ve seen in both of our children through their time at Busy Bees has been absolutely first class and I couldn’t have prayed for a better pre-school experience for them. The manager and the team have led by example and I wish Busy Bees all the absolute best for the future. To potential parents of Busy Bees, book your young people in now, you will not be disappointed.

Busy Bees has looked after two of my children over the last few years. The children have been cared for very well, have lots of fun and have formed genuine attachments to the people who work in the nursery. The facilities are fantastic and the outdoor spaces very large. We love looking at the photographs from our child’s nursery day via ParentZone. The nursery manager is very professional and is also great with the children past and present; often taking time to talk to my older child even though he no longer goes to the nursery. There seems to be a high level of stability in the staff that work there which is very reassuring and no doubt helps the children settle in and feel secure. The nursery is very conveniently located off a main road which is useful for dropping your children off on the way to work and has good parking which makes drop off stress-free. The nursery itself is situated next to Rye park which makes for a lovely setting for the children.

We love Busy Bees! After looking into and visiting too many nurseries, my husband and I walked into this nursery and we knew it was the nursery we wanted to send our little boy. You just get this good and positive energy as soon as you walk in and to top it off, the staff are extremely friendly and professional too! They take such great care of my little boy. It makes me happy to send him off every morning and know he’ll be taken care of. I love this place and so does my child. I deeply appreciate one of the senior room managers and three other members of staff, in particular, for being nice and caring. The centre director and assistant centre director have always been so helpful and always very caring towards the children and the parents! They have always helped me with all my queries and made it so easy and stress-free since we joined Busy Bees. Definitely made the right choice by choosing this place! My little baby is happy and that makes me a happy parent. Thank you Busy Bees, The Rye! Really appreciate what you guys do!

All the staff are really friendly and kind. They always give an update on how my daughter is daily. The activities they do are amazing and more recently with Easter and the Coronation, it’s all being really exciting.
My daughter is always happy to go to school and has come along leaps and bounds with her speech, numbers and letters as well as imaginative play since being there.
A total credit to the team.

My son has been at Busy Bees The Rye (High Wycombe) since he was thirteen months. He settled in straight away, because the staff were amazing in helping him be comfortable. Now he is in preschool class and he loves it. Lots of outdoor activities and play. Lots of indoor activities like painting, colouring, cutting and a lot more. He mostly enjoys being a firefighter and the staff make sure there are lots of ‘firefighting’ activities for him to do.
