March 29, 2021 at 12:00 amMy child seems very happy at Treetops and enjoys the activities there. The app is very comforting, given that we can’t go in at present due to Covid restrictions, and saves having to ask a lot of questions at drop off/pick up. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. It’s nice that they get taken outdoors a lot, and the activities seem to vary. The food is also varied and provides plenty of fruit/veg.

March 29, 2021 at 12:00 amOur daughter loves going to nursery! She has lots of friends there and really adores her key worker. We love the new app they are using, where we get updates and photographs throughout the day. Would recommend it to all my friends.

April 19, 2022 at 12:00 amI cannot speak highly enough of Busy Bees, Ashbourne. My son has attended nursery since he was three months old and the nurture, care and development he has received over the years has been faultless. There has not been a day that he has not wanted to attend. The manager and staff are the nursery’s biggest asset, they truly care and the bond between my son and his key workers, through each stage, has been a joy to watch. Pre-school is outstanding, it has totally prepared my son for school. We will truly miss nursery as they have been a support network to us both and are an extended family for my son. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a nursery in Ashbourne. There will be tears on his last day!

April 19, 2022 at 12:00 amAs first-time parents, we’re really happy with the level of care our daughter receives at nursery. She gets involved with lots of activities and always comes home happy! Our daughter has a genuine relationship with all the carers in her room and it truly feels like Busy Bees Ashbourne has a personalised approach for each child. The frequency of the updates we receive on the app is fantastic. It’s been such an effective way to communicate and keep in touch during the working day!

April 29, 2022 at 12:00 amI have sent all three of my children to Busy Bees in Ashbourne, starting in 2009. The management has changed, as has ownership, but what hasn’t changed is the dedication, happy and smiling faces and high standards that the evolving staff have displayed throughout. Not that I have a fourth child, but if I did, I would happily send them there.

June 8, 2022 at 12:00 amThe staff are very friendly. My daughter loves going to nursery. Very helpful with potty training, cracked it in a week. Not overly happy that they give vegetarian sausages for lunch, what’s wrong with normal ones!

August 19, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter started nursery in January 2022 when she was 10 months old and instantly settled into the baby room. She loves every second of being there. The staff are brilliant and always answer any questions I have. They made me feel really relaxed when dropping her off and leaving her. I have recommended the nursery to plenty of my friends.

August 24, 2022 at 12:00 amThe staff at Busy Bees Ashbourne are amazing – the standard of care for the children can not be beaten. All staff are friendly, welcoming and no question goes unanswered – always being kept up to date and my child loves spending their day at the nursery. It has helped grow her confidence massively.

December 28, 2022 at 12:00 amAll carers know the child personally and have a genuine connection and understanding of needs/wants/preferences. All carers take time to debrief with the parents at the end of the day and keep details updated on the app.

January 12, 2023 at 12:00 amWe had a lovely afternoon at stay and play. The staff were all really friendly, setting up different activities for us to take part in with our child. It was great to see how the children are taught and the types of activities they are involved in. This was our first opportunity since COVID and we absolutely loved it. My daughter was so excited to see us, showing us all around her areas. The staff were giving us updates while we were there as well so we got to hear more about how she is getting on. Looking forward to our next opportunity to visit.

June 20, 2023 at 12:00 amA very safe and friendly nursery I couldn’t recommend more! There is nowhere else we would choose.
We have sent both our children there and both settled into nursery life perfectly thanks to them! Our first child loved her time there and it set her up perfectly for school.

June 20, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter joined preschool in October after we relocated to Ashbourne and she enjoys going in to learn and play with her friends. The staff have been amazing, they are always there if I need any advice or guidance whether that be face-to-face or via email. The manager has made us feel extremely welcome ever since our first visit to the setting. She and her staff have gone out of their way to ensure we have settled in. The preschool staff always take the time to talk on pick up to run through my daughter’s day. My daughter’s key person has been an instrumental part of her settling into her new class and talks about her regularly. I have attended a number of stay-and-play sessions, these are great and a wonderful opportunity to see what my daughter does on a daily bases. As a parent, it’s comforting to know that my daughter is happy, safe, well fed and well looked after when I leave her in the morning.

June 20, 2023 at 12:00 amExcellent nursery. My son loves going there. Always smiles when he’s dropped off and always looks happy and content when collected. The staff are excellent with him and always very informative and helpful whenever asked. They are very accommodating towards any change of circumstances that we have.

We have used them to care for our daughters continuously from 2020 and have never had any issues. All of the staff are very helpful and friendly and understanding. I would highly recommend.

June 30, 2023 at 12:00 amWarm, welcoming and friendly staff makes the whole experience feel more comfortable and relaxed! The children’s activities are all based on the development of them according to age! Would highly recommend this nursery as it has made it so much easier returning to work knowing my child is here.

July 18, 2023 at 12:00 amStaff are very caring and will pass any update if any concerns or upset at drop off, which is appreciated. My child really enjoys nursery and is learning lots and developing new words and skills as a result of time there.

July 20, 2023 at 12:00 amI cannot rate Busy Bees, Ashbourne Day Nursery highly enough. All the staff are kind, friendly and very caring. I love the app, it’s great to know what they are doing each day and getting photos. The variety of food is excellent and really gets the kids trying new things. The staff are very thoughtful when it comes to special dates, making cards and other crafts. I would recommend Busy Bees to any of my friends and family.

July 24, 2023 at 12:00 amWe moved to the area after living in the US and my daughter was welcomed with open arms. Busy Bees has been fundamental in her settling in here and she speaks so fondly of all the staff and team. She is learning, more and more social, experimenting with new foods and comes home happy and full of lovely stories from the day.
We can’t thank Busy Bees enough for their involvement in helping us make here our new home.
