February 5, 2019 at 12:00 amBusy Bees is a fantastic nursery! Working in education myself it’s sometimes hard to find somewhere you can trust but the team are so professional, knowledgable and friendly that I couldn’t take my little boy anywhere else now. He absolutely loves his days at nursery as they squeeze in so many great activities and it’s great that the team share these memories via the parentzone app. Couldn’t recommend them more!

February 5, 2019 at 12:00 amWe would recommend Busy Bees to friends and family. Our son took some time to settle in but the carers all were amazing with me as a parent very reassuring and our son. He now loves it at the nursery.
Thanks Busy Bees team.

February 5, 2019 at 12:00 amBusy Bees at Clare Park, have the most caring and reliable staff. They monitor and review the children to ensure their every need is met, as well as providing a fun and safe environment for them to grow.

February 5, 2019 at 12:00 amI think the staff at Busy Bees Clare Park are fantastic and have a great relationship with the kids. It’s a relief to know my daughter is happy with the people she is with as it’s not a nice thing to have to leave your child with others when they are still small anyway so this definitely helps. She is very energetic and loves being outside so I’m glad she has the opportunity to go outside as much as she does. The food also seems good from what I have had of it!

February 5, 2019 at 12:00 amDespite this being a ‘chain’ nursery the team here are fantastic and it very much has a family feel. We now have both our toddler and baby here and love it. They are happy and thriving. One thing in particular I recently discovered is that siblings often spend together in the day and have tea together. This was not something we’d have even thought of when looking as we only had the one child but an example of the nursery keeping the children at the centre of everything they do.

February 6, 2019 at 12:00 amMy eldest son left last year to start primary school. He was so prepared for school, thanks to all the care and support from the staff at busy bees. The staff were also very helpful with strategies to help with behaviour at home.
My youngest son is currently in the toddler room. He goes in willingly every day and always has a smile on his face when I pick him up.
I would thoroughly recommend this Busy Bees to everyone!

October 16, 2019 at 12:00 amWhen my wife and I had our two twins, we were worried about me having to work full time and my wife having to return to work after her maternity leave.
We looked far and wide for a nursery that could offer our children the best possible start in life and in Clare Park, we found it.
Over the last 3 and a half years, our kids spent a couple of days a week under the excellent care and support of the ladies in Busy Bees. From day one, in the ‘baby room’ to their last in Preschool, they enjoyed every second, making friends and learning key skills that they’ve now taken to their new school.
Without a doubt, this was all down to the staff who were all very good with our children. If we were to consider having more children, there would be no hesitation in using the services Clare Park has to offer again.

October 16, 2019 at 12:00 amI can’t recommend Busy Bees enough. The manager and her team are so professional and really care about the children. Both my children went there and love it. Even though my son had additional needs, they happily accommodated them and made him part of the group.

October 28, 2019 at 12:00 amThis nursery is a warm, lively community-based place. Our children have been extremely well looked after in the two rooms she has already been looked after in. The staff are highly trained; engaged with the children and parents and offer outstanding knowledge and care to the children. Key workers are chosen based on the best possible relationships with the children. The nursery staff and management go above and beyond in arranging out of hours events to celebrate festivals and charities as well as observing festivals and themed weeks in the rooms. The financial administrator goes above and beyond certainly my expectation to provide information to parents and the children are provided with exceptional healthy on-site cooked food. We couldn’t be happier with the service.

November 4, 2019 at 12:00 amWe had to change our child from another nursery because of moving home. We had our concerns of how this would affect our daughter but from her first day she was settled and she was fond of all the staff that looked after her and from the feedback from her and what we saw ourselves she couldn’t have been happier and at the end of the day that was the most important thing for us.

November 7, 2019 at 12:00 amI cannot recommend Busy Bees at Clare Park enough. The staff are all so incredibly warm, caring and helpful. Our son does so many varied activities, including lots of messy play and painting which means I don’t have to do this at home! The feedback at the end of the day is really useful and the food provided by the onsite chef is healthy and clearly delicious, as our end of day report almost always says: ‘Ate all.’
As someone who works in education, I also like the fact that they are so open. Every parent has a key fob so you can enter the building and walk straight into your child’s room. I have never heard a raised voice from a member of staff and their genuine affection for the children is obvious. The manager and her team are also very hands-on and happy to help with any queries that arise.
Our son has blossomed since he has been there and I look forward to seeing his continued development in the next year. Thank you Busy Bees!

November 7, 2019 at 12:00 amOur son has been coming here since he was 10 months (he’s now nearly 4) and his baby sister will be joining in March. Cannot recommend enough, we have never had any concerns and our son loves it so much that when he has to have a day off due to illness, he cries as he wants to go. All the team are fabulous and it’s just a great environment.

November 8, 2019 at 12:00 amI have always been very happy with the nursery ever since my daughter first started nearly a year ago. The staff are always lovely and nothing is too much trouble. My daughter really enjoys her time here and she has made strong bonds with a number of staff members, which as a parent, is lovely to see. I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you.

November 13, 2019 at 12:00 amOur twins attended this wonderful nursery for 3 years from the age of 1 year to 4 years old.
The whole team at Clare Park were supportive, caring and professional every step of the way.
Both our children enjoyed their time at Clare Park and we would definitely recommend it to new parents.

December 3, 2019 at 12:00 amMy daughter was at Clare Park for just over three years and the level of care she received was excellent. The nursery team were constantly improving and bring new ideas to the children’s care. Can’t thank the staff enough their hard work and care for my daughter.

December 12, 2019 at 12:00 amMy son has been at Busy Bee Clare Park in the green room for all of last year. He had a wonderful time and he often still talks about ‘His’ nursery. The staff were very knowledgeable, attentive, kind and friendly. The nursery offered a variety of events (very keenly remember the Christmas period!), the environment is stimulating and there ould always would be someone available for the children to have a cuddle should they need one. I would definitely recommend this nursery to any parent that is looking for the perfect place for their children, the only regret they could have is not to try it! Lovely people and lovely place!

July 24, 2020 at 12:00 amOur girls have thrived at Busy Bees, the care and support we have had has been great. Staff are always friendly, approachable and we have been kept informed of progress throughout their time there. The same nurturing environment is complemented by a variety of activities and clear communication and organisation. We shall miss them.

March 5, 2021 at 12:00 amMy daughter absolutely loves going to Busy Bees. My husband and I were unsure about sending her to nursery at such a young age (11 months) but it was the best decision we have made. She is a confident little girl who is making friends. The care she receives is second to none and I know that when she is there she is having the time of her life. With everything that is currently going on in the world meaning that she is not able to see many people or experience new things, Busy Bees allows her to explore and learn so much. The communication is outstanding, especially the portal where I am able to see regular updates on her activities and even photos. I have no doubt in my mind that she will be happy going to Busy Bees at Clare Park until she starts school.

April 9, 2023 at 12:00 amBoth of my daughters have attended Busy Bees at Clare Park from the age of 11 months, and both had a lovely experience throughout. The staff are lovely and caring and we are always greeted with a smile. Thank you for looking after my girls so wonderfully. We appreciate it and they have both benefited hugely from attending Busy Bees. Keep up the great work!
