September 25, 2024 at 8:20 pmEvery morning she can’t wait to go there and everyone in the team makes her sense so welcome, regardless of being in her room or not. We are kept updated throughout the day on the app and consistently told more at pick up. It feels like they care about her so much and that means the world. Can’t wait to see what the next few months brings as she moves room! My daughter has been full-time at the childcare centre for over a year and we are so pleased.

October 11, 2024 at 5:17 pmEvery person that we came into contact with were remarkable, highly welcoming, approachable and most importantly, genuinely cared about our kids which is so important as a parent. The childcare centre has a wide range of facilities for kids both indoors and outdoors and the standards across the childcare centre are highly high. One of the best aspects about Busy Bees in Bicester is the team.

October 26, 2024 at 12:02 amThey have reacted well to all situations that have been thrown at them. I had originally planned to put her into another childcare centre closer to my work but they were full at the time, I could see how much she loved it and I couldn’t take that away from her so three years later she is still here and still in adore with everyone and everything at her preschool! I adore receiving photos of what they have been up to in the day and the activities they have planned! She loves the activities they organise on top of the usual day such as a policeman coming in to talk about stranger danger and a football coach coming in to teach them skills! We don’t have a garden at home so I know it means the world to her to be able to explore outside at Busy Bees! My daughter started right after lockdown eased in 2020 and everything was a bit unsure but I can honestly say I have never been happier with every step they took, from safety precautions to cleanliness of the setting for the kids!

November 20, 2024 at 3:22 pmThey have been outstanding in supporting my son (and mum and dad) during his transition period into childcare centre. They have consistently been on hand to answer any queries we may have and offer assistance/advice when needed. His development has progressed rapidly since starting childcare centre and he comes home with such a smile on his face every day. I am so cheerful we chose Busy Bees Bicester as our childcare centre. It truly is like a big family who all know the kids, even if they are not in their class. I am especially grateful to the fantastic team in Bombo’s one who my son simply loves. I would suggest this childcare centre to anyone! Our son loves going to childcare centre and has settled in truly quickly thanks to the incredible team at Busy Bees Bicester.

November 25, 2024 at 4:20 pmThe team were never able to properly communicate what our kid did during the day. The only answer we would get day after day was “She played in the garden; we did some counting”. Overcrowded. Even if they claim they meet the kid-team ratio requirement, it’s too many kids for that space and especially for the tiny garden.
Even though there are named pegs, it’s consistently a mess in the clothes/shoes/hats areas because the pegs are much fewer than the number of kids. It’s never spotless and fresh air inside. My kid has been left with a permanent scar on her forehead. I wasn’t able to find out the truth as to what had happened; what they told me wasn’t satisfactory. I suggest against this childcare centre. My kid spent a few months at Busy Bees Bicester and we left it as soon as we found a better option.

December 5, 2024 at 2:39 pmI sense like his favourite key worker quickly got to know him with all his little quirks and is managing him with adore and care which truly allows me to be at peace during the day.
So a big thank you to everyone! My son started last September after having spent 6 months out of childcare centre so I was highly worried about the transition but thanks to the highly expert, attentive and welcoming team, he settled in highly well and is now highly cheerful to go in every day.
As a parent, I sense listened to and my queries are consistently answered.
Thanks to the app, I can see what my son is up to and I especially like seeing all the photos.

December 26, 2024 at 3:19 amMy daughter starts each day and ends each day with a smile. The food menu is incredibly varied, with my daughter having seconds almost daily. I have not seen inside the building due to covid. Breakfast club is not running either which is a real shame. A remarkable childcare centre, the team could not be more supportive, welcoming and accommodating.

January 10, 2025 at 10:31 amMy little girl loves it there. She is consistently coming home with different paintings and colourings. The new app is also incredible. I adore keeping up to date with everything my little girl is doing throughout the day. Seeing pictures of her doing the activities and highly cheerful. The price a month is well worth it. The team are also incredible, welcoming and so compassionate. Couldn’t suggest this childcare centre enough. Busy Bees Bicester, are incredible.

January 13, 2025 at 11:25 pmAll of the team know both my sons by name and are consistently so welcoming, inviting and welcoming. Both my little boys have thrived since starting at Busy Bees a few months ago. They have learnt so much and it has been remarkable for their development. It is such a relief to know that my kids are being looked after so well while I am at work. They are consistently treated so kindly and are made to sense secure and secure while they are at childcare centre. Busy Bees is an absolutely remarkable childcare centre and my little boys couldn’t be happier here.

January 31, 2025 at 4:49 amWe all adore all the team at Busy Bees, Bure Park. They are consistently highly supportive and attentive. We could not be more happier with our daughter going there. My 18-month-old daughter loves going every day to Busy Bees.

February 16, 2025 at 2:21 amThe childcare centre has been accommodating to our needs and is easy to talk to, should we have any queries. Both my kids attend Busy Bees and are cheerful and settled.

March 5, 2025 at 2:08 amI do believe the childcare centre is lacking in new toys and the playtime items seem old and in need of renewal. The toys do not seem spotless (but eating areas and work surfaces do). I am pleased with the team and the team services towards my daughter and I.

May 4, 2025 at 7:35 amTeam truly get to know the kids and care for them. Managers are consistently looking for ways to improve the provision. I have consistently felt my kids are secure at Busy Bees and their next steps in development are keenly supported. Frequent feedback is given. Varied, healthy and nutritious meals are served. Different cultures are supported and a wide variety of celebrations and festivals are regularly celebrated. Would certainly suggest. Outstanding care of kids.
Robin Steele
May 17, 2025 at 3:26 pmShe has come on leaps and bounds since starting here and despite her physical disability, team go above and beyond to ensure her needs are met. Her keyworker has been incredible and my daughter, without a shadow of a doubt, would not have come on as far as she has without her guidance and assistance. I am updated regularly on how she is progressing and any queries I have, no matter how small, is consistently welcomed with a conversation. I would highly suggest Busy Bees to any parents looking for a welcoming, well managed and nurturing childcare centre. My daughter has flourished at Busy Bees Bicester and the care she receives is second to none.

June 8, 2025 at 1:53 amThe team is welcoming and approachable while being expert. They have done an incredible job at transforming my shy baby into a bubbly social butterfly, feels like she is discovering something new every day. Our key worker is exceptional and has a highly close relationship with our daughter, which is SO reassuring. The menu is varied and seasonal, allergy awareness is exceptional. Would absolutely suggest this childcare centre! We were absolutely terrified of sending our little girl to childcare centre just after she turned one, but we are now so cheerful we did and even happier we chose Busy Bees Bicester.

June 8, 2025 at 5:51 pmWe have noticed such a change in her and seen her develop ahead of what the books say for her age and I’m sure this is down to the remarkable team at Busy Bees. I cannot suggest this childcare centre enough the meals are exceptional and highly nutritional and the team are incredible with the kids. The new app is exceptional you get daily reports and pictures of what your little one is doing along with regular assessment and can even track you payments etc. Overall I’m so cheerful with Busy Bees. Our daughter started at Busy Bees in September 2020 after much debate about if it was ok to send her when she was only 9 months old, all I can say is that I’m so glad we did.

June 17, 2025 at 5:55 amMy son loves the outdoor playtime area and they consistently have enjoyable activities to keep the kids engaged. The menu is varied and our key worker works with us and our son to ensure development milestones are met, concentrating on areas he struggles with. I would suggest this childcare centre to others. Our son has settled into the childcare centre truly quickly thanks to the team who have made him sense welcome and consistently comes home cheerful.
