December 9, 2016 at 12:00 amI cannot recommend this nursery enough. Both my children have attended since they were 6 months old (my son is now 7, my daughter 4). My daughter loves going to nursery. Every day she is excited to tell me what she has been doing. The work and dedication of the staff are wonderful, my daughter has developed a very special bond with her key worker. Her number and phonics knowledge is very impressive as is her writing – I have no doubts about her readiness for school in September 2017. In fact, like my son was, I believe she will be ahead of her peers. This nursery and team has become an extension of our family and an integral part of the early year’s development of my children.

December 16, 2016 at 12:00 amRagstone House has aided my son’s transition to early years care since he started when he was 8 months old. Having never left him before I was notably apprehensive but he settled in so well and made strong bonds with the staff in baby room which really put me at ease as a working mum. He is now in the toddler room and has a very special connection with a number of the staff, particularly his keyworker and he leaves me with ease at the beginning of each session. The environment is always stimulating to him and his interests are always carried forward into daily activities. He will be leaving soon when I leave work to go on maternity leave and I have no doubt that he will miss everyone very much. Thank you Ragstone House for helping to make my little boy into the sociable, happy and confident character that he is now.

December 28, 2016 at 12:00 amFantastic care provided with a variety of activities, and always relevant to events in the year when they come up. A good focus on learning too. Fantastic food provided. A personal service where the staff knows all the children well. A good report provided at the end of each day. Our daughter has made some great friends.

April 13, 2017 at 12:00 amMy Daughter thoroughly enjoys coming to nursery, even after two years of coming in she still get excited when she knows she is coming.
She is enjoying the getting ready for school process in the Dinos, this also puts our mind at ease for the big move to school.

Our son will start next year.

April 17, 2018 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been attending Busy Bees from 7 months old, she is now 4yrs. I couldn’t ask for a better setting for her to attend. The long-standing staff have allowed my daughter to develop and become a strong-minded independent person. The care is second to none and we see the setting as part of our extended family. we are always greeted with a smile, and my daughter is bursting with excitement at the end of the day and can’t wait to tell me what she has been doing. She is always talking about staff and her friend. Knowing how happy she is there allows me to get on with my working day without worry. This September she will be going off to school even though this is an extremely exciting prospect, we shall with no doubt miss everyone at Ragstone House.

July 24, 2018 at 12:00 amMy child has just started at the nursery and has settled really well. The staff welcome me and my daughter every morning and are very friendly. I’m so happy that she is happy when I leave her with the staff and I am glad I chose this nursery.

October 9, 2018 at 12:00 amMy little girl has been going to Ragstone House since she was 9 months old now 18 months and she absolutely loves it! She has such Fun doing the activities and loves the staff members. All the staff members are so kind and caring to the children. The nursery has been so helpful and flexible when I changed jobs.
I couldn’t be happier with the care taken and information passed over each day.
The best marker is how happy my daughter is each morning at drop off.

December 3, 2018 at 12:00 amMy son has been at Busy Bees at Ragstone House since he was three months old.
For my son, Busy Bees is a home away from home. He is looked after so well. Every single member of staff clearly has the well being of each child at the very top of their list of priorities. I have always been pleasantly comfortable with the atmosphere in his room.
The manager and his key worker are personable, knowledgeable, attentive and caring and these traits are present in all staff as well. The regular observations we receive via parent zone, and in person, are detailed, informative and very useful in helping us maintain his progress at home.
My son is my first and only child and I cannot believe how lucky I have been in getting such a complex and vital decision as choosing a nursery, absolutely right first time.
The staff at Busy Bees at Ragstone House will consistently bend over backwards to look after your little one and make them feel safe and happy. I wholeheartedly recommend this nursery.

January 31, 2019 at 12:00 amOur eldest son attended this nursery and they have set him up so well for Primary School, he seemed to be learning through fun at nursery and has now entered school at the higher level of the class.
It was an obvious choice for our youngest to also attend. This nursery is not our closest but we are so happy with the nursery we wouldn’t want him anywhere else!
The staff are incredible and both the boy’s key workers have built a good relationship with the boys and myself so I know each day exactly how they are getting on and developing. The whole team and management are very professional, friendly and warm.
When we are at work, there isn’t anyone else we would rather have look after our children giving us peace of mind knowing they are enjoying their day and being well looked after to such a high standard.
Thank you Ragstone House, we would recommend you to anyone!

We cannot fault the staff and facilities, they’re fantastic! We would definitely recommend this nursery to family and friends, we also hope to send our daughter here in the future.

June 20, 2023 at 12:00 amBusy Bees is a home-from-home! Our daughter loves her time at Ragstone House and races up “Bee Hill” every morning. The staff are amazing, nothing is ever too much trouble. They welcome everyone with warmth, smiles and love. Handovers are smooth and easy and communication is brilliant.

July 7, 2023 at 12:00 amThis nursery is amazing. My daughter has been going here for 2.5 years now. She absolutely loves it. She has thrived since she started here. She enjoys all the meals that are made for her. She has made lots of friendships on her way. It’s a shame she’s leaving to go to school. She will miss everyone so much. Thank you to everyone that has worked with her. She has loved being in your care.
